Form is temporary but class, that is permanent.

RIP

This makes me smile and it’s even more sad to think that he is no longer with us.

Really felt this one, feels like we've lost a person we could really do with not losing.

Don't know whether this has been posted already.
An old documentary/feature that was repeated after Newsnight last night. A good watch, and Villa are included.

You will need iPlayer. If link doesn't work it was on BBC2.

A round of applause on 65 minutes on Saturday would be fitting.

RIP Benjamin

Was thinking of a suitable minute for applause for hom and that would be fitting.

A lovely man and a huge shock when I heard. We should really do something for him tomorrow.
