Dress it up anyway you want, fact is
we have a poor midfeild, no attacking threat and a frail defence
added to this we have the lack of bottle we have always gone hand in hand with villa sides for as long as i can remember.
one bright note for me however is that whereas in the past, this would have spoilt my weekend, this has happened so many times in the past, i fully expected it , even when we had a corner at 92:30 seconds against 10 men.
i even put some money on us after 86 mins that we would somehow bottle it and end up snatching a draw from the jaws of victory @8-1
safe in the knowledge that this match like countless others in the past would see us throwing away at the death.
one things for sure, although they have managed to knock out any remaining passion i had for the club, at least history tells me i am in with a good chance of making a few bob on them this season if i go by the assumption that if we are leading with 10 mins to go, lump a couple of quid on the other team getting a goal.
