Big Daz never sleeps.

Sorry Dave.

Absolutely brilliant Dave. I haven't stopped grinning since the game.

Exactly how I feel Dave…..everything off the field about the club makes me cynical / angry / frustrated and gets language usually only saved for awful referees….but the moment I climb those 6/7 steps off the concourse into the panorama of VP nothing else matters….its Villa & I’m home.  Nights like Wednesday don’t come round round often

Enjoyable read, the amount of half and half scarves was indeed an eye opener.

Was that me with my two children? I’m offended. I’ve brought many more than two!

Lovely article. Insightful, cynical and romantic.all at once.

Hi Dave, I have a question if I may. I don’t know which individuals/groups are left on the FAB but is it possible they might all resign given the lack of engagement from the club, and would the Premier League then get involved as mediator? Just wondering how the situation might come to a head and whether similar has happened at other clubs.

I doubt it.

Maybe some of the half and half scarves were bought by regular fans as souvenirs of a great event?

My daughter asked me on the walk down 'Dad, if you don't want a half/half scarf for this, our biggest match in ages against a team we wont play again, are there any circumstances that you would buy one, or me one?'

'No'.

I was delighted to see that all the season ticket holders around me in the Holte end, who were there in the dark days of 2019 and years after, were there on Wednesday. Holte end still feels like it always has, can’t speak for other areas. Is it noticeably changing?
Great article, much I could grumble about re pre match experience but once we kick off, as you say, it’s football and it’s the mighty Villa and all is well.

I think it was a brilliant night to bring children too, a great investment in their future Villa support. Beating one of the European giants in that atmosphere would make them the envy of their peers at school the following day. It will stay with them for the rest of their lives and ensure they are Villa for eternity.

I like the thread title too.  More than a nod to Marlene Dietrich.

I’ve no doubt the majority were, but surely the red half could have been hidden away until they got home.
Back in the day I remember my mom saying that scarf won’t keep you warm tied round your wrist. She also used to say “Stop moaning and be grateful”.
Great article.
