Manager Steve Bruce used his programme notes for the game against Leeds United to deliver his message of hope for 2017.

The first game for Aston Villa of 2017 and well, it was all a bit 2016ish wasn’t it. A one nil loss at the Cardiff City Stadium and a performance that left Steve Bruce, like many, shaking their heads.

Thought for the day: I was explaining to my wife last night that when you die you get reincarnated but must come back as a different creature. She said she would like to come back as a cow. I said ‘You’re obviously not listening.’
