If we had multiple drummers we could do Kings of the Wild Frontier.

If we’ve got a drum, we deserve to get beat.

How snare you?!

Beat it!

A pity Jackson didn't just do that instead of molesting kids.

I didn’t even mean that pun (I promise CD), just really don’t like drums in football stadiums. But as puns go, it was accidentally brilliant.

I hope the drummer knows a few Villa songs, or we could end up listening to his Boys Brigade repertoire ....

I hope the drummer has a pre match Villa chippy special and gets food poisoning.

Just took my 95 year old neighbour to vote - the queue was huge. 

When she finally got to booth, she said loudly - "which box do I mark to stop the drums", and the whole place cheered, and spontaneously broke out into a chorus of Holte Enders in the Sky (full version).   

Never seen anything like this before.

There was a version of, "I hear the sound, of distant drums"
Can not remember the lyrics

I mean if we bring a drum in we should probably be banned from Europe for a few years. Frankly we're lucky we haven't been kicked out already for our PA guy going "Yay let's do a Villa Park roar Yippi ai ay" every week. Leicester winning the league didn't count because of their fucking clappers and us winning this wouldn't count if we have a bastard drum.

I hear the sound of distant scum

You and I travel to the beat of a different drum,
Bring one to the Villa and I'll bring my gun
