Fans Worried Over Villa Future

[peter w]

Ahhhh. Looks like the teleprinter that used to print out the scores on Grandstand. Slower than the digital version, but knew how to hold the suspense....

A s t o n V i l l a 1 T o t t e n h a m  H o t s p u r s * and then it would ponder on a blinking dot. Just waiting. Waiting. Waiting. Did we hold out? Did they equalise? Did they go on to win and score two late goals? Od happy days.

I also loved the way to avoid confusion they'd write out the score in words after a particularly heavy beating.. L i n c o l n C i t y 9 (nine) B o u r n e m o u t h 0. After the '0' they should have written something scathing. Like 'Ha!' or, 'You're rubbish'.

These fellas would work nowadays

Disconcerting where?

ANyway I was thinking we could do this thread up. What do you think. A nice framed picture? Pine furniture? Couple of plants about the place. Terracotta coluoring. No Villa stuff though. It makes me worried.

Well young buddy we were three quarters down the page when I logged on this morning and in danger of slipping into oblivion, definate attempt I believe to new thread us OUT OF EXISTENCE.

[peter w]

Ah, I see. Well whilst we are here to keep pondering the why's and wherefors of Villa's problems. And the weather, teleprinters, and the like then this baby will keep rolling. Just because the daytime dandies feel they can come in here and mess around, or even ignore us, we'll have the true spirit of adventure and discuss here at will.

You staying up -or should that be getting up- to watch the man City game Robbo. Is it on over there? 11.30 pm k/o here so I'll be able to catch it on ESPN.

Well arn't you the lucky one we are being treated on espn to a real nail biting edge of your seat thriller Chelsea v Colchester. I don't believe I will make myself available.

You never know. Remember Leeds at the atart of the seventies? And us at the end of the 70's in the League Cup. Can't remember if we won or lost now but it was 9-8 on pens. I think.

We won Peter. I was just reading about it last night in Dave Woodhalls book!

[peter w]

I used to be soo happy as a youngster that Villa never lost to the underdogs in Cup competitions. In the 90's that changed with Grimsby. Now? Well I'm happy with 0 against Doncaster.

[JD]

I used to laugh at mates who support Everton/Newcastle etc for their Cup exploits against lower league teams (Wrexham/Hereford etc).
Now I just have to take it on the chin, especially after Doncaster. I got an email from a friend who supports Everton and all it said was "Oh Dear" and a smiley.  #-o

[peter w]

Must be a scouse team supporting trait. A Liverpool mate of mine also texted me with'oh dear' three times. Oh the wit.

On other things its alla bit quiet on the football front just now, isn't it?

[ROBBO]

Appart from some good natured banter from a couple of West Ham supporters at the golf club I have absolutely no one to irritate me. Isolation has its rewards.

[peter w]

I'm getting more patronising, 'Good result for Villa, Pete' , or 'Oooh, you were unlucky against Newcastle, Pete' , than ever before. My mates can't be arsed to even take the piss out of us anymore. That hurts.

Thank -you Mr F. Us Worried folk need the odd bit of entertainment. I'd rather like to think that tou posted each one individually to guide us through or Villa woes. A sign of brotherhood and compassion. Rather than just cut and paste. I'm right aren't I? Tell me I'm right, Mark. Tell me I'm right.
