Nothing happened today, ever.
;)The game that deserves headspace on this day is Dynamo Kiev 0 Villa 0 in 1982. Despite major injuries in defence and being messed about big time by the authorities (including being told where we were actually playing very late!) Villa put on a gritty, resilient performance away in this European Cup quarter final first leg. Tony Morley plays his one hundredth game Sir Dennis talks of reaching the final and a thousand prayer-mats are placed before BRMB radio receivers.

And this gives an idea of what it's like to walk out onto the pitch for a game like this, and how the stands look

Is it really 30 years ago this weekend that we beat Leeds to win the league cup?

And I had one of the worst hangovers I can ever remember having to this day.
