Thinking it's the year again
AS A Villa fan I'm a bit of strange mix.
My dad's old school, as cynical as they come and I'm sure has been for the 70-odd years he's been a supporter.
My mum on the other hand is to total opposite. A cockney by birth - though not of the cheating variety - she was evacuated to the Midlands during the blitz but didn't discover football until in her 50s.
Since then she's become the most optimistic Villa fan I know. Our players are lovely lads, Ashley never dives, it was surely a case of mistaken identity when Carew was out on the razz and we're going to win every game we play.
So consequently I'm a bit of a mix of the two of them. I swing between utter hopelessness and sheer, unbridled optimism.
Take last night's match. It was a boring, turgid affair for the most part, brightened only by the continued wonderful form of Gabby Agbonlahor.
So why am I convinced this is Our Year? Perhaps because, following in Ma Villa's footsteps, I tend to start the season believing we can win the league cup, the FA Cup and maybe even crack the top four.
Deluded? Probably. But I'd much prefer to be that way than some of the miserable so-and-sos who sit around us at Villa Park.
Football still means joy for me and long may it continue.
Up the Villa!
