Press-ed together for warmth

There's at least one eyebrow-raiser in here.

Nice history lesson and after all these weeks and months, maybe years...best press pun yet.

I guessed right about the last time we won at home to Stoke. I was on the Holte that night and I remembered that we won 2-0 and Didier Six scored what I think was his only goal for us. For some reason I seem to recall the other goal was a George Berry own goal, but when I looked it up it just said 'og' without naming the culprit.

Another great read Dave.

I hardly got to any games between 84 and 88 when I was at Uni, and I hadn't realised the crowds dropped to such levels during that period.  We do always seem to struggle with Stoke though for some reason.

Aston Villa - a complete record 1874-1988 by David Goodyear and Tony Matthews hascthe scorers as Berry (og) and Six. Attendance 10,874 (our average for the season was 18 318.

Spink, Williams, Dorigo, Evans, Ormsby, Gibson, McMahon, Six, Cowans, Walters, Withe, Walker came n for Gibson.

11v11 is pretty good for previous match info and stats.

Love to agree with the influence that it was  one of them days, but in reality we were second best especially in the first half.  Good though to see Couch getting a decent welcome.

Did he come off the bench........or settee?
Did he get chaise for longue?

Peter's book is a decent read (or listen if you have audible. The way he pronounces some of the words makes me think he had help from a ghost).

[ChicagoLion]

I said on the pre match that I have not seen us beat Stoke, now I know why.

[robbo1874]

I had this one as a draw. Just because it was Stoke.
