Proof that good times are flooding back.....
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?
