Nice bit of perspective there.

Yeah, the bookies would have given you good odds on that happening.

Higher than Lesta winning the league.

Apparently Unai's 100th Villa win.

Got their quicker than George Ramsay they said!

In fairness, they did have to keep stopping every few months to colonise Africa in those days.

Not *just* colonise Africa. We had to pilfer their stuff as well.

To be fair it was a clever bit of work. Pinch all of Johnny Foreigners valuable things, make a fancy hat out of them, then get our king to wear said fancy hat whilst patronising the leaders of the countries we’ve stole stuff from.

It’s next level stuff when you think about it.

A useful win to stop the rot. Good goal too. Won without too much stress and with a weaker side than I’d expect Unai to play on Sunday. Well done Villa.
