Agreed. Fond memories of closed curtains at 3pm, to block out the sunshine, remember that?, mums home baked hot scones fresh from the oven with melted BUTTER at half time. Proper coke from the fridge. Where have those days gone?

You do realise you could still do all of those, apart from the time moving from 3pm to 5.30pm?

I'm not. You clearly do though.
Maybe because there was so little live football on theTV back in the dark ages. But back in the day the TV used to go on at 12, and it was watched avidly till the final whistle. It just doesn't have that buzz nowadays.
And that was just the build up on ITV and BBC. Add in the build up on kids TV as well and it got going from about 9.00. Happy times

Come on you villa boys ..... Not a good day to wake up with a sore head !
I really do fancy Villa to put one over on Arsenal, if Villa turn up like they can, I think they could really put some past the gooners and turn them proper over, oh I do hope so

Put your teeth back in, and get a reality check.

Richardson is certainly the busiest man on the pitch! Having a pretty good game too!
And Benteke has probably had the fewest touches!
Be interesting to see what changes are made - and suspect that it'll be Villa that make them!

Hmm, bit personal that....
I did say "if they turned up", which they clearly didn't!

Actually, I don't think it was a case of 'not turning up' as 'not being allowed to turn up'!!!
Carzola and Sanchez were the stars in a quite superbly dominant performance!

Ok, fair enough about the personal bit, but I didn't think villa would stand a chance. Arsenal have been in form, and villa have narrowly escaped relegation. On that showing there is no way Benteke is worth 32 million.
Which sometimes means diddlysquat in the FA Cup, or any cup final on the day.

Still not concerned no. Poor way to finish the season.
We have a great base to build from and I believe sherwood will get the right men in . He is brutally honest so no doubt already told a handful of players that they are dead wood .
Pathetic indeed !
I think Villa have the nucleus of a good side and like Sherwood as a manager. The fact he locked the players in the dressing room after the game yesterday showed it hurt and he won't have it. I think there are 5-6 sides that will be at the bottom and they will be one I think, especially if Benteke goes.

sorry, to Villa fans, for popping this up, but I had a bit of a arguement with someone, alcohol fueled admittedly, but I said that if I was a manager in the Prem I'd assemble a team of players from the UK ONLY and try and keep them in the Prem. Using Patiotism, as part, of my driving force. It may also, over a period of time, bring in some support from neutrals.
I was shot down in flames, but I stand by this, and would love it if someone had the balls to do it !!!!!!
