'Villa keep winning everywhere we go, 1,2,3,4, '

Something that simple would make it an ideal chant.

Singing about 'them' really bothers me. Our best season in forever, (my lifetime at least and I'm 32), and half of the things we're singing are about a team we haven't even played for half a decade. We've surely got enough to add a bit of diversity to the songbook, I don't know what, I do know any song contrived on a forum or twitter/facebook never takes off though!!

It doesn't bother me at all, it's just a laugh and it makes noise.

New songs used to be tried out in some of the local pubs or at away games, now the youngsters most minded to sing them haven't got much chance of going to either. Is football heading for a demographic crisis?

I’d suggest it’s already in one.

I’d suggest it’s already in one.

At Lille last week it felt like they had a much larger proportion of their fans in the 15-30 bracket. One of my mates pointed out there’s no way 50 year old blokes can bounce up and down all game like some of the ultras we’ve seen this season do.

Friends who got me tickets said they would expect to be able to get tickets for 25 euros for most games.

I thought the atmosphere v Man Utd was rather subdued and disappointing.
It wasn't the most racucous or rocking and possibly contributed t what was a low key affair.
There were no massive banners or flags.
A complete contrast to the Bayern match.
Also will there be fireworks again for the Bologna game?
It was quite a spectacle!

So on the momentous Bayern Victory and atmosphere.
You know the glorious banner with all the players like a floating shrine . How was that banner even erected (please no jokes as that's the right word)

That with the Champions League theme song made me feel incredibly proud! It almost seemed spiritual! The players' faces appeared to us it was a fantastic vision
Though I believe it was fantastic to see the squad players I don't believe Philogene was in it.

I think it would be difficult to explain how much that image impacted me because it was like a religious experience, however I can't find this banner graphic but it was like an awakening on the Tele and it's the closest I felt to any similarities from football to actual religion. Though it's clearly not the same to me and is only a sport compared to Christianity or any faith.

I hope explained that as well as I could and I wasn't even there but there was a haunting quality.

I think if there was one of the 82 squad or just Gary Shaw I would have completely looked to heavens and God even if I'm not  familiar with 82 that would have been too much too handle and imagine a lot here and at the ground would have been in tears and on knees to how profound such a striking image would be.

I loved the setup at the start of the game. It looked incredible
