General - long time viewer, occasional poster here.
Absolutely well said above. I was proud to be a Villa supporter on Saturday, the noise in the 2nd half from our end was deafening & great fun to be involved in. Most level headed fans will be as philosophical as yourself in that the team played as well as Chelsea allowed them to play. We had the better of the 1st half & but for a couple of key decisions, we might have had enough to finish the job. The matter of these referreeing decisions is a debate for another thread as it is a problem that 'smaller' clubs such as ourselves are having to contend with far too often. Anyway I digress, I just wanted to post to say your comment above is the most sensible thing I've read on here since Saturday. Well said & I wish you good health.
A big thank you to the team, Martin, Randy & yourself for allowing us to taste the dream this year. Hopefully it's the start of something bigger. & I still believe this season is far from over.
