Taken from a message board.....
21/22nd June & 28/29 June
Lisburn Distillery (Northern Ireland) v Turun Palloseura (Finland)
Winners of that will play the team who finishes 4th in the Danish league which will probably be either FC Copenhagen or Odense
& we play the winners away weekend of 19th/20th July & at home the following week...
Don't fancy FC Copenhagen, but a summer adventure is on the cards!
Will do a proper season update soon, but 6th is a great finish. Only moan is that we haven't won in 23 trips to London (Spurs, Arsenal, Chelsea and today against West Ham so close!) Any other season we'd get a direct route into UEFA cup football.....
Well done to MON, Randy and all the players. 10/10

Derby 0-6 Aston Villa.
A game which could easily have fizzed out top a nothing draw proved to be worth the £35 ticket price. 6 different scorers, including 2 good goals from Gabby and 'The Hare.' MON is beginning to prove me wrong with £4 million signing of Harewood, certainly a great super sub.
Whilst drinking at The Harvester I sent a text to my football mates wishing them the best of luck in a local league game they were playing Saturday afternoon. Saturday evening I found out they lost, and were in need of a keeper next season (where my best position is). Whilst out drinking again in the evening I was having a friendly pressure put on me to start playing again, and it got me thinking....
Yesterday probably cost me £100 including beer money, train and match ticket, but I didn't mind paying that when you are there to see Petrov score goals like he did. Half way line straight into the top corner is something you don't see every season, and the moment he hit it I started to celebrate, just knew it was in. Anyway, money cannot buy you feelings like that. I know if I started playing football again I would have different feelings money can't buy, but travelling away to see your team win 6-0 makes all the lows seem worth it.
Yesterday was only the 3rd time I had seen Villa win away, and first time they kept a clean sheet. I just hope for something similar next week, as Intertoto is a must, and our season is not about doing B*rm*ngham twice. It's about getting 6 points off them, sending them down AND hitting Europe. We have no Cahill this year... maybe Salifou could step forward with some acrobatics???

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas, and hope you all have a peaceful, (European adventure) Happy New Year.
Not a bad position for Villa going into Xmas, but hitting the woodwork in each of the last 4 games shows that our luck was in 4 games ago, now we need to change it. Chelsea must lose at home sometime.......

The odds were too great for Man U again, so it was fixed......
The FA are f*cking useless!

Just a short update from myself, with a quote from today's Telegraph.
'Villa's captain, Gareth Barry, is the talk of England. Villa's homegrown filler, Gabby Agbonlahor is the talk of the under 21s. Villa's last performance, a high-speed skewering of Chelsea is the talk of the Premier League.'
I will follow this up with a summary from Tim Lovejoy who wrote in Nuts this week.
Tim is jealous of Leeds fans. For so long they have had nothign to cheer, and it's all doom and gloom. Now (at the time of him writing) they have clawed back the 15 point deduction and can start to look up. This has been done, and after a 3-0 hammering of Bristol Rovers (something I am sure CT appreciated) Leeds are out of the drop zone. 6 wins out of 6 the fans are 'walking in dreamland.' It si far from the dizzy heights of Champions League semi final football, but the re-formation has to start somewhere, and at last fans can start cheering. Tim follows this on with saying how Fulham fans loved the climb to the top flight more than being in it as they have little to shout about, where as climbing through the leagues was much more enjoyable.
Villa. Tim states how the past few years we have done nothing. Odd semi-final league cup appearance, odd flirt with UEFA cup and occasional mention of relegation. I agree the past few years have been boring, but that makes the good times great. I for one hugged and jumped around with people I have never seen before when Gabby slotted the 2nd against Chelsea, giving us our first win over the top 4 for 3 years. I believe every season, EVERY club has the chance to go that little bit more mental for a few goals. You could support Chelsea or Chesterfield, Man U or Mansfield, I bet if you look back over last season you could pick out those special goals. Last gasp equalisers giving you the point you need to stay above water, amazing 30 yard strikes to put you in the play-offs. Below (from last season)is what I believe made me that little more excited compared to seeing other goals:
Mellberg scoring first ever goal under MON and at The Emeriates Stadium. Going 1-0 up against Arsenal after the dire season before.
Gabby's last minute extra time winner against Leiecster in the Carling Cup.
Baros equalising against Man U in the FA cup. (Our home insurance company will be contacted if we drew that fucking lot again in the cup.)
Possibly Gabby equalising away at Chelsea.
You may not go on to win games, or anythng near but for me those were the goals which made me jump around that little more. We have already had at least 1 this season and with good times ahead, where will the next one come from?
