Ron Saunders “ would you bet against us”.

Why do Irish Uncle Fester keep saying 7? The slaphead should be grateful it wasn't 10.

When he keeps saying 7 what he really means is 'Seven to Aston fucking Villa'

Sit up slaphead and take notice. The Villa are back!

I've sat up and I did take notice, chill out man.

From the Beeb .

Aston Villa have won their opening three league games to a season for the first time since the 1962-63 campaign.

I hope we will do better than we did in 1962/63. According to records we finished 15th with 38 points. Everton won the League that season.

Was that our best peformance in modern times ?
I wax lyrical about the 70,s team but can not remember better than that.

I think it is

We were brilliant until it snowed. For about four months. When we came back we couldn't win a game and lost a cup final to Small Heath. 🤢

Always good to read the oppositions press view of the game:

My particular highlight: "Ruthless and relentless, Villa were everything Liverpool were not."

Better than the Birmingham Mail's summary: "Villa were lucky and Grealish is off".

Superb all round performance.

Last night I thought that the 5-1 performance was better, because I was lucky enough to stand on the Holte that night, when we beat a team that were destined to win the league and European cup at the end of that season.

But this morning, I have revised my answer and consider last nights result better. Just consider a team that stayed up on the final day of the season demolishing the champions 7-2. It could of been more.

The difference between the two matches was that we battered them in BOTH halves last night.

Another bonus, a lot more fans were able to witness the trouncing last night!

I think it is when you take it in context. Liverpool, champions of England, Champions League winners the previous season and runners up with 97 points, World champions and had started with 3 wins out of 3. Yes they were missing Mane and the keeper but that same back four that had proved so brilliant over the past couple of seasons were ripped apart. Smith masterclass aided by Shakespeare and can't fault anyone on the pitch.

Fucking Sky do my head in, and I'm glad I cancelled my subscription.  Co-commentators who recently played for Man U and Liverpool, and the same with the pundits in the studio.  Where was somebody like Dion Dublin or Tony Daley to tell Souness he was talking out of his hoop?

Scarily plausible!

It’s rare that you can look at a performance and say that the entire starting 11 had good games but that’s what we saw last night. I was in touch with a number of people through the came and to a man we were all still nervous at half time but we didn’t ease up for a second and double figures wouldn’t have flattered us. It will be interesting to see how teams set up against us from now on.
