Good piece Dave. ..Think it's going to go down to the wire and i'm not sure my nerves will stand watching us in the play offs. Perhaps Villa will shock me and get automatic promotion. I hope so.

Well said Dave, that mood perfectly sums up the Villa psyche. I guess at times we have all been guilty of not enjoying the moment and waiting for it to end.

One slight quibble. Isn't it 5 in 5 for Hogan, not 5 in 4?

Other than that spot on, especially the bit about always waiting for it to go wrong. Maybe that's the Brummie in us.

Interesting reference points in the article but Dave, you were uber-confident on the pre-match thread.

That doesn't stop other people from thinking differently. I've always said that our biggest problem is that too many of us think the good times won't last and we don't really belong on the big stage.

Guilty. Despite what I saw in ‘81, I was convinced we’d blow it. Despite claiming not to be superstitious, Saturday’s result reminds me of the Bolton game that we won in similarly inauspicious  circumstances and we blew it under Gregory.

Results, and what logic applies to football, point upwards, but...maybe there was something in the water supply growing up...

If we go up, fuck me, we need some serious investment from what I've watched today. Over to you doc! Fingers crossed.
