I was 5, so not up to much.

Fuck right off. You're my age in my head. 😡
Can we ban him?

Just say the word and the little twerp is gone.

This is exactly how Robespierre got started. The power has gone to your head!

I was forty-seven and in the middle of a so-called mid-life crisis not a nice time, and preparing to send our little girl off to university.  There was, as always the Villa, an enduring constant.

Anyway, I was a babby of fifteen and spent the day watching Magnificent Aston Villa demolish Wanky Man United. Just as I have done today. 🙂

In the Witton Lane Upper dreaming we'd be experiencing the following May what the United fans did.

10 years old, sweeping the driveway that my parents had just tarmac'd after they'd built/bought a new house.

Listening to score updates on the car radio and couldn't believe the half-time score we had rattled-up.

I despised Man Utd and had taken great joy in them mucking-up the '94/'95 title on the last day of the season a few months prior.
Every other 10 year-old boy followed the herd and seemed to be fans of these wankers. Was just a bit gutted that it happened during the summer holidays and not a few weeks later when we were back in school.

Save your wrath for Monty. I believe in August 1995 he would've been... a sperm.

I believe they're implying that you're wise and mature beyond your years so I'd take it as a compliment. ;)

I was a feckless, lazy, hedonistic 17-year-old. I'm now 44, and marginally less hedonistic.

I was 18, the rest fits.

I was 27. Exactly half the age I am now! Fuck that's a weird thought. Anyway I remember thinking our recruitment over the summer had been very good and we'd turn them over no bother. And even my Blues supporting mate agreed with me.

Same for me, half of my adult life we hadn't beaten them, I feel oddly serene tonight as if a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders.

I was down the Villa, like today.
Some may see that as a waste of a life but I’m happy. I might even watch Match of the Day tonight just as I did back then. The telly and chair are different though.

If it makes you feel any better, I always assumed you were about 3-4 years younger than me.

I was at the game, we played well but not as well as today.

I think today is only the 3rd time Ive seen us beat ManUtd at VP.
