Fans Worried Over Villa Future

[spaf]

Are you worried?

I'm suffering from severe worrius villanum.

I have some wonderful personal news and I have to share it with someone and you Worried Threadsters are as well qualified as anybody to understand the significance of my jubilation.   If you are not - sobeit.   My late mother wrote a secret autobiography.   She would have been 99 this year but pined away a couple of years ago.   She was the Villa fan of all Villa fans.   The club was owned by Frederick Normansell who had a fishmongers business in Bell St off the Bull Ring but who would put in cameo appearances at his fish stall in the Market Hall off the Bull Ring on Saturday mornings to milk the fame much as Ellis does.   Every Saturday morning my mother would advance on the fish stall of the owner of Aston Villa FC to give him a full on bollocking about the performance of the team and he would leg it into the bowels of the Market Hall to avoid her wrath.   My daughter is piecing together the hand written autobiography and turned up a page on a scrap of paper which read "Harry Hampton came home with my dad for tea.   We were all very excited and had to put on our best clothes."   In modern terms this would be like Wayne Rooney coming round for a burger off your barbecue.   My mother was thirteen years old and the year was 1920.   Still reeling from this the scraps of paper produced a cutting from a newpaper, name unknown, which carried a report of my greatgrandfather playing for Stourbridge against Olbyun Reserves in which in black and white it says he "committed a savage foul against the West Bromich Albion centre forward which required him to be carried from the field of play".   That man was my mother's father.   I think I shall burst with pride.

Sorry Brian I can't worry about that, there's too much else to worry about!

Nice little story there, perhaps Mr Woodhall may be interested!

which carried a report of my greatgrandfather playing for Stourbridge against Olbyun Reserves

That man was my mother's father.   I think I shall burst with pride.

As if there is not enough to worry about, now the issue of your great-grandfather and your grandfather being the same man crops up. THe bit about you being proud of the fact I think it best to leave for now.

Will it never stop?

You are putting in the hard yards though which is more than the usual wannabees that visit this site. I will be interested to read your evaluation of the mental state of LG when you have seen the whole sorry story. Of this legends are made.

Back to my kids team. Not so worried this morning as my sweeper, who has been injured is back (we have won every game he has played). My Son, who is a left sided wide player, is still ill and didn't train last night. Still worried about him for Saturday.  8-[

I am also worried that Mazrim is getting upset and is likely to start throwing loads of people down stairs.  :-  I am glad I live miles away.

[ROBBO]

G'day JD went through the same problems as you but with me it was tennis. You don't get a life of your own over here until they can drive. I was known as the family taxi, always availeable.
Don't worry about Mazrim his bites worse than his bark.
I am more worried that we have just over a week to the Arsenal game and yet to see a new arrival. I have every faith in the new man but won't be happy if we have to start the season with a defence that still cannot defend against set plays.

[JD]

I am worried that we haven't signed anyone yet, but not too worried about the Arsenal game. To be honest I have written it off as a loss already, as I don't think MO'N will have enough time to bed down any new signings and pick his best team. I think our real season will start against Reading and if we do get anything from Arsenal it will be a bonus.  =D>

Bri, great story mate. Villa players around at the house, maiming A-lbion players. maybe you should embellish it a little and astick it in the mag.

Notanoyherone, I think it was around pages 80-90 that Lg really started to go insane, I admire your efforts so far, but stick with it gal.

Morning JD, Robbo.

[JD]

Evening Peter, how are you?

i'm even more worried now. Just been out for a great meal for my birthday (that's worrying in itself, another year older) which the Wife paid for, to get back and find out that my game has moved venue for tomorrow. Now have to get hold of my players early tomorrow morning to make sure that they turn up at the right ground. And my Son will not be playing, too ill  #-o bollocks.
