Fans Worried Over Villa Future

[JD]

I am also worried about the second test Robbo. I just pray we don't get off to another nightmare start.  ](*,)  ](*,)

First day of Summer over here today (Peter, November has passed  \/ ) and the touring Sri Lankan Cricket Team is here and are in Dunedin in 3c for their first game (that will sort them out).

Hope we win the toss!

As long as Andrew Strauss is batting at 7 tomorrow morning I won't be as worried as I could have been.

[seanthevillan]

Don't worry about this test anyone, we've just utilised the ancient "false sense of security" technique. The Aussies succumbed to it before.

Any news on McGrath's injury? Can't see him bowling too many overs even if he does play.

[JD]

Let's hope McGrath's injury stops him bowling at all. A superb and consistent bowler who never gives the batsman a break. I really do wish England had someone as consistent as Glen McGrath.

Well f uck me with a pogo stick stuck on 'Go'. Great start to the test, eh?

[Drummond]

I'm worried I could be dead before this thread gets to 300 pages. It's obviously a slow pitch now.

Cracks opening up big enough for Boycott to lose his car keys

[Legion]

We're on a roll!

[ROBBO]

What a relief, we've made a good start and my Aussie mates are a little worried that Warney has seen better days and the Poms are now looking forward to him bowling. Now about our bowlers?

I am wondering if I have any future as a Villa fan. I've had to get out of bed to write this, the house is dark and the rest of my family are all asleep.

I am worried. As I grow older, I am finding that there is much less in life  to remind me of what I really am. The experiences that shaped me as a person all happened decades ago. Sure, things happen to me every day, but I'm not experiencing them any more. I'm just observing them.

So I'm wondering if my support for the Villa is just a way of kidding myself that I have any genuine feelings. God knows it does me no good.

I am exhausted, I am going to lie down and wait for it to get light again

Obviously Damon like myself you are in what is known as the mature years (if not then you should be very worried) when sleep hours are reduced and you spend more time pondering on the what might have beens of life and if only you had read the signals that the blonde with the great figure had given out 30 years ago, and if only you had gone for the trial at Walsall when asked instead of hanging out for a better offer. There comes a time when you have to accept defeat and face the inevitable, you are old and sad, but you can still go and watch the Villa.

Other axiomatic sentences...'Pete gets injured again playing football'. Another cartilige in knee problem'. Now I'm worried I won't be able to play next week. At least the crickets going okay.

Ian, you ask about Shaun Udal? You'll have to go back to pages 80-100 to understand.

If I remember correctly, Mr. Udal tried to hit on the future Mrs. Winters!
