A feel good story

Well done, Villa, good to see that we are still very good at some stuff.

When we get things right, we frequently get them very right

Great news! And our own Easah Suliman taking part too.

It's such a simple idea, and the issue around trials etc happening when it's Ramadan mean there are a number of players probably not doing well that otherwise would. I hope it results in a bigger take up of Asian players as there really aren't many at all in our League system.

I did put a link to this in Lou’s ‘positive’ thread but agree it deserves one of it’s own.

Good stuff. Saw this on twitter, too. Some of the comments from our fans were particularly vile, however. Embarrassing.

Me, I'm proud to fucking bits when I see us involved in such things.
