Spot on Dave. It's not a Midland's thing to blow our own trumpet but it's time we started to big up the Villa.

Totally agree.  Under the radar = forever bumping your head on the glass ceiling.  It’s way past the time for us to do it.

Spot on Dave…far too much looking for an excuse why we don’t / can’t / won’t do something than just going for it and enjoying it

Leeds and Newcastle seem to hold nothing back celebrating their great history, "achievements" and club generally, no matter how well/shit they're doing - and the media go with it 100% - yet they can hardly hold a candle to all that we've done for the last 150 years!
It's a great time to be a Villa fan atm.
Let's enjoy it and shout it loud and proud!

Great piece!

Self deprecation can be admirable but not in football.

Which is why we need a clear plan for a massive upgrade to Villa Park asap rather than this in, out, shake it all about shit.

Yes and at the location where we made so much history over 125 years and where we should always remain,
