What are the chances of us playing with the speed and passion Leeds showed yesterday?

Ha! Yeah, right. Our pre-season preparation will have been to run a lot.
Same laboured approach as last season then? I can hardly contain myself.

As opposed to calling it 'laboured' I prefer to class it as the Villa version of Barcelona's 'tiki taka' patient approach. ;)

This will be the 71st season I have followed Villa home and away.  I have never felt so uncaring at the prospect of a new season.

2-1 Villa. Unconvincing performance, late winner, 3 points.

Well that would somewhat undermine pre-season prep.

Maybe it was a cunning plan to confuse Hull.

Tactics Tim was good at that.  Lull the opposition into a false sense of security by playing crap.

Compared to you Brian I am a mere rookie at watching for 56 years - I too am not as excited about the start of the season as I used to be. We lack quality in the spine of the team or those favoured appear injury prone - oh for a Martin Laursen,Olaf Mellburg, Jimmy Rimmer and Peter Withe or Andy Gray
