knoppy1987 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 I've just bought myself a 95/96 Home McGrath shirt. I owe it to the man as one of the reasons a young lad from the heart of Liverpool ended up supporting Aston Villa. Without him, and at the time, Dwight Yorke, I would never have been a Villa fan. I have to be, and am, most grateful for that. I was out last night with a mate and some of his extended friends who I had never met - all Spuds fans. Upon arrival, it became apparently clear that the football banter had been pre-organised amongst friends and Villa were going to take a ribbing at my expense. Buying this shirt has made up for it but I've got to say, I did come away feeling a bit ganged up on even though I gave as good as I got. Suffice to say that, Hoddle, Waddle and Gascoigne were sufficiently hammered for being overrated. Cannot say I will be going out with those posh Newcastle fans again.

knoppy1987 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Being European Cup Winners when it was actually a proper competition featured heavily. As did many player comparisons including God. What annoys me most about almost all Spuds fans I have come across is this arrogance that portrays them as winners in the same sense as an AC Milan, Manure, Plop etc. Some divine right or something. Oh - and then the affiliation to England. Darren Anderton etc. Bollox. Has anybody watched the Irish show on YouTube praising God at the end of his career. John Aldridge makes a classic boo boo on it. Brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 They've been better than us for about 5 years whereas we were better than them for the previous consecutive 20 or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the transfer window period is a little bonkers, loads of retweeting of stupid accounts on twitter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mottaloo Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I met God a few times in my duties as a matchday blazer boy posted on various corporate lounges and the old players' lounge and he sure is a charmer, softly spoken but with a cheeky glint in his eye the ladies there simply loved ! He had time for a chat and it often made me shake my head at lesser players in that lounge who acted as if they were on his level of achievement/ability, or even better. Alan Reeves of Wimbledon for example on the day we beat them 7-1. Alan WHO ? Exactly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a nice choice to make isn't it? I'm not sure who my choice would be. Sid Cowans was wonderful to watch, fantastic energy and his passing sublime. David Platt said his ambition when at Villa was to make a run that Sid didn't spot, he never managed it. I'd throw Sir Brian into the mix too. The shear excitement watching him run with the ball and knowing that just about anything could happen. Macca was......., I don't have the descriptive powers. A very happy and healthy Birthday to you Macca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
