Unoial Villa News…
Quiet on the news front yesterday, but thought I`d do a quick catch up of a few social media bits to tick us along until ‘that` game on Sunday. Think that`s where all our thoughts are right now so what better way to kick off than this, never grows tired does it?

Plenty of discussion in the forum thread: I Could Never See What The Fuss Was About – Bunch Of 5’s
John Carew, on his day, a player who was on fire and unstoppable. But tend to agree, with so few heroes, he rocketed up the legendary status a bit higher than he probably deserved at times. Went off with even the slightest of niggles, not a real fighter. Still some great goals and times though. Some controversial ones there though, thought Merse was amazing, loved Deano… liked JPA (was more the time and all that I think)

Thought for the day: “I rang up my local swimming baths. I said: ‘Is that the local swimming baths?’ He said: ‘It depends where you’re calling from.’
