It was just a very bad save. It’s Whelan’s goal.

So it wasn't a save then? :-)

But be honest – you can’t wait, can you? And when did the Villa last have you saying that?

Ha! Damn right. I've always maintained that when we finally start playing decent football fans will ask why we put up with so much crap for so, so long. Welcome to the 21st century. Better late than never. Roll on Friday night.

Rightly so Mark. I usually dread these games but I'm looking forward to Villa giving the Tesco Bags a good hammering on Friday (or Saturday here).

The thing is, you know that even if we do lose to Albion, they will have had to have played extremely well. For a long time, we've lost games where the opposition have been pretty crap apart from a couple of attacks that they've scored from, and we've never looked like it ourselves, especially away.

On Friday night the beautiful thing is we will go out to win, create 10 really good chances and have 20 odd shots trying, probably have 60%+ possession. We might not win but fuck me that’s just wonderful to know we will have given it everything.
