That's how I see it and hope it pans out that way, but I've gone for a draw again. It does have a Coventry away on Boxing Day feel to it though.

Saint Stephen would like a word even if just for consistency sake.  >:(

Well, the match in question took place in England, and I wanted our English listeners to be clear on which game I was referring to. For events happening in Ireland, I refer to Dec. 26 by its correct name e.g.

St. Stephen's Night and the local pub will be full of Irish plastic Mancs, I hope we batter them.

I'm getting stupidly excited about this and it's only Tuesday.

This....i mean it's strictly Wednesday now but, yeah.

Have even shelled out £14 to park on someone's drive on Trinity Road to ensure that I'm not going to risk struggling to park and missing any of it...

If we do win and go top, I'd like the League to change to a South American Opening (Apertura) and Closing (Clausura) system.

So as Apertura winners, we'd be guaranteed to be in the Final for the title....

Me too Sam.

I remember queuing from 5:30 to get into the Ipswich match the season we won the league.

40 odd years later, I feel like getting there ridiculously early again to make sure I get in, only this time I already have my seat.

Slept on it. 3-1 to the boys in C & B.

Watkins, Diaby and Ramsey.

Happy days.

Face the Holte first half and go at them like they owe us money.

Get a couple of goals early and they will be shell shocked.

The whole country wakes up to realise "This Villa team is the real deal"

Thousands of screen shots taken of the league table as a marker for when we returned to greatness.

I think we're going to win, the atmosphere is going to be awesome.

Whether we are top over Christmas, I don't know. I'd settle for being top over Ramadan.

It really doesn't. It feels like we're going to batter them and go top. We're great, our home record is impeccable, and they're a load of shite.

And in all seriousness, that's exactly the attitude we have to get away from. The idea that somehow it's all going to go wrong at some point is what's held us back for so long.
