If we both go down we should organise a joint demonstration march through the City, obviously we'd have to lead the way as they have'nt got a clue were they're going

Cometh the hour, cometh the thread. Welcome back old friend.
I was merely fretting earlier in the season. Now I'm genuinely worried. Not least because of the shit I hung on Newcastle supporting mates a couple of years ago...

Had a sense that the schadenfreude on display that afternoon would come back to bite us on the arse someday, I didn't expect that it could possibly have been so soon.

After Saturday I promised myself that I have to stop making my family suffer for the failings of Aston Villa. There is no point worrying and fretting and losing sleep about things you can't control. Nothing I do can get us a single goal or a single point.

I spent Sunday playing with the kids and helping my missus in the garden, and felt no better at all, but I may have fooled them.

I am still very, very angry about it.

I promised I wouldn't get like that this season and even took the defeat to that lot in the cup in good grace.

But Saturday left a very bitter taste indeed.

The return of the dreaded thread.
The cliche most often heard at VP next home game could be: "Beam me up, Scottie; this place gives me the shits".

I emigrated in 2003, not long after 03/03/03.

The events of that night and the general shiteness of that season weren't the sole reasons for my departure, but they certainly weren't a pull to keep me either.

I hoped that a new country for a few years (Australia) would wean be off the Villa. After all, it can't be healthy to persist with something for so long that does you no good.

It didn't work.

I think JD summed it up and put this into some much needed perspective. An earthquake rates nothing on the Richter Scale compared to what could be lying ahead for us. Nervous? You bet I am.

I can live with the aftershocks but relegation, well that's a whole new low for me Peter.

Th older you get the worse you get.   I struggle to find the right word to describe my feelings when a big big game goes as badly as the Wolves game but the closest I can come is poisoned.   I felt that for 94 minutes I had been absorbing some horrible killer substance that was making my whole mind and body turn into a stumbling monosyllabic ache.

I was oafish and rude to my son who had the manners and decency to take our Dutch friend into the bar for a drink and all I could do was prowl around scowling and muttering.  My departure from the ground took the form of me slapping the friendly security guard on the door of the Holte Suite on the belly and say "you want to get on a fucking diet".

I had two grandfathers like we all do.   The paternal one was a small. kind, gentle little man with a gold watch and chain and a love of painting in oils.   The maternal one was a mad piss head lunatic Villa fan.   I wonder if it is too late to take up painting.

I'm like Winters in Band of Brothers right now: once you accept that you're doomed, you paradoxically have no fear. I fully expect this club to be relegated and so I'm able to think about it in a rational way. Of course it's gutting but like Damo said, by the time I leave the ground or turn the radio off, the shit I've just had to put up with fades pretty quickly.

I didnt feel like this under DOL, then i still thought we had some hope. The Blose game galvanised us. I remember nods and winks from all Villa fans before the game. The atmosphere on Saturday was worse than anything I have encountered at VP.
