Fans Worried Over Villa Future

[JD]

We all missed you Legion. Good to see you back.  :smt002

[JD]

Oh yeah, now I'm worried that my expectations have risen after beating Spurzz and I think that we can beat Manure at the weekend.  8-[

You'd prefer a day out to the betterment (possible ) of the club?

winning the FA cup would be a perfect way of demonstrating the re kindling the passion for the villa and the fa cup

It was an FA Cup final defeat not victory.

[peter w]

Surely you got great bragging rights aver your family nuow JD.

[ROBBO]

He wouldn't know they've stopped speaking to him, the worried thread is his new family, we care.

[peter w]

Is that because he's now a Kiwi?

[ROBBO]

Don't know how long he's been there so it's hard to say whether he's got the accent yet, poor bugger.

[peter w]

A little bit. When I met up with him his Kiwi accent was prominent by the end he was back to being a full-on East End cockney wide-boy. That's how I recall it anyway JD...

[JD]

It's quite funny, my Brother (who has lived in the US for 16 years) sounds American to me and he reckons I sound like a Kiwi (14 years over here). People who talk to me over here pick up my English accent straightaway, so I don't really know what accent I have. Now that is a worry.  8-[

Oh and Peter, I definately have the bragging rights. I got a call from the States after the game and my brother is not happy with the Spurzzz defence (I was though).

[peter w]

And he called you? Deserves to have had his team beaten. I think its akin to masochism. Or that deep down he's a Villa fan and cannot bring himself to stop his Tottenham lies. Show him the truth, JD.

[ROBBO]

I played for an all white Small Heath pub team many years ago and one day we played against an all black team after the final whistle they chased our only two supporters  who had been loudly cheering us all game across the park. They were also black. They escaped and were treated to free drinks back at the pub.

[peter w]

Erm...okay. You having random flashbacks there, Robbo?

[ROBBO]

Just shows what can happen when you go against the brothers.

[JD]

There's a message in there somewhere Robbo.

The deal was that the loser had to call to eat humble pie, it's like a bet but more sadistic.  8-[ The game was on live in NZ and USA, so we were both watching it. The sound of the phone ringing 5 minutes after the game ended was like music to my ears.  :smt002

[peter w]

Its that sweet sound of success. Well limited success. My worry, as it always is when we do well, that we'll fall back and miss out on the relative success. We all want Europe now - although I did predict 6th at the start of the season - and there is nothing worse than missing out on that bit os 'success'.

Different pressure. Better than the ones at the other end of the table but still when you get so close and end up with nothing the feeling of being deflated takes a while to get over.
