Hope you get to visit one day soon Astnor.

Echo that, nothing beats walking to the game through Aston Park as the Holte End hoves into view.

Anyway, with the price of booze in Norway you'll probably save money if you come over for a game.

I’m a terrible villa fan judging on my attendance to games (whole load of reasons not least my own mental health) but my first game was the 6-1 battering of Sunderland and was the greatest atmosphere I’ve ever experienced in my life. It’s something I hope my scandanavian brother will one day experience.

Many thanks I will let you know for sure if it will be happening. and yes the prices for beer they are laughable here.

Well yesterday Villa you did me proud. A critic of SG I will admit. But yesterday the manager..staff..players..supporters made me proud to support the greatest club the world has ever know. A draw I know but so many of us will have got the immense pleasure out of it that Dave eluded to. That's why I can never get them out of my blood.  AVFC...Stand proud forever.

agree with every word

A great summary of my own thoughts. When we are attacking the Holte with some momentum and belief there is nowhere I’d rather be in the whole world. There were times yesterday where there were two different chants in the Holte upper and as I was smack in the middle behind the cameraman it was hard to know which one to join in with.

The effort and togetherness yesterday was brilliant and you have to hope the team respond to this with a desire to build on this next week.

Two blokes behind me were obviously several pints into their day and were really geeing up one and all. When we scored the took off their shirts and were doing the waving them in the air thing for the rest of the game, bouncing up and down, cheering singing and swearing. After the post match ovation had finished I turned round and they had gone, but their shirts were still on the floor. They must have gone home bare chested.

I made the mistake of taking my nine year old to watch PNE play Birmingham, and the wankers went and won. Only caught the game today, but was a much better performance.

All any of us want is for Gerrard to turn it around, but I confess I had given up on him. Lets hope we pick that form up and win the next couple of games now.

Leicester look abject, have to get 3 points there.

Don't jinx Saturday!  Please!

We could not afford full backs galivanting up the pitch against that lot and we looked a lot more solid for it.

I really hope he ditches this idea and sticks to wider midfielders. It’s ok if you’ve got the quality of fullbacks and forwards Liverpool have. But we don’t. Bailey & Ramsey linked up lovely for our goal so I’d imagine that’ll be the shape against Leicester

I live near Preston, mate lent me his season ticket. Obviously was supporting PNE not Blues!

[cdbearsfan]

Preston aren't the most exciting team to watch this season.

We were so close to doing this too! (Husband being PNE). Beforehand it seemed a no brainer that even Preston Nil would be more fun than watching Villa get slaughtered! (With less travel)
Luckily our wish to see my mum and the grandchildren in Brum swayed it. We were saying how pissed off we would have been if we had made the other choice!

Ah fair enough.

Souness and to a lesser extent Dion Dublin didn't half spout some nonsense after yesterday's game. To listen to them, one would have thought that the reason we'd not got results in previous games was that we'd been striving to play perfect expansive football, and not because we'd lacked clear purpose and organisation, and had players out of form starting games.

Agreed, a very lazy narrative. Then the other one, "Villa Park is a very difficult place to play", "the fans won't support this football against other teams" etc.
