Well said Dave.
I must say, I felt pretty emotional myself after all that.
The last ten years have been very tough.
I still can't quite believe what I have just witnessed.

That's brilliant Dave, brought tears to my eyes reading that.

This is the Villa I grew up with as a kid in the mid 70's. Just relentless.

Was there in 76 but this feels even more emotional.
My thoughts into words, great piece.

Blimey, you're going to have a good day if your username is anything to go by!

Super read Dave, as ever.

Sure will Lee! But I’m guessing we all will, wherever we live!

Brilliant Dave, I was there for the 5-1 (my mate was on the Witton with the away fans, at half time one of them got on his knees to pray) and I thought it couldn't be beaten but that was superb. Downsides that we weren't there and that my brother isn't here to see it. I bet Dean feels like that about his dad.

And this is why football is so powerful. After years of dross and heartbreak, 90 minutes makes it all worthwhile.

Rotterdam was wonderful, but last night was a sense of wonder.

Great read as always Dave

Like a poster said in the post match thread - at the end of the game i actually stood up and applauded them off whilst in my living room - much to the amusement of my wife.

Every single man gave 110% for the cause and the to hear a few were disappointed as they should of scored even more - wow indeed Mr Klopp

I will watch the entire game again tonight, but being a Villa fan will expect them to come back and win the game 7-8  ;D

It just makes you yearn for the next one to come round - really hope none of our boys get injured during stupid national games

Still got origin error

Same here.

I think/hope it might have fixed itself.

Cant speak for other browsers, but in firefox opening the page in a private window usually fixes it for me.

Edit : I get the origin error without the private window.
