I'm starting this thread again because it seems to have been a casualty of the change over to the new site. The Terriers scecured another away win last night at Burton. Two wins in a row now after a barren spell. It'll all go pear shaped on Friday when we go to Norwich because the game is to be televised , we haven't won on the telly for ages.

Why don’t you like Villa, Steve, thought they played pretty well at Wembley last week.

I am a Villa supporter and have been for almost 60 years. It's what makes it so demoralising! The club has major problems; the last 3 or 4 managers have presided over teams that can neither defend nor score and the frequency and scale of thrashings is increasing.
I hope that the planning for the return to the Championship is well advanced and that we can build a squad that can perform competently and consistently for the next foray into the Premier League.
'If you have to depend on the Villa defence for clean sheets, your bed will be crawling with bed bugs ...'

You’re not alone!
Most (OK, not all) footy fans have been through the same.
I remember my team crawling out of the 3rd division, or whatever they call it now, in the play off final, winning in extra time, on penalties.
Keep the faith, Holte ender!

Well tonight’s home game City v Arsenal was called off late last night due to some of Arsenal’s players being in self isolation after potentially being exposed to the Coronavirus.
Seems their 14 day self isolation finishes tomorrow. They have however played 2 games in the previous 10 days, against Portsmouth and West Ham.
Struggling to get my head round that one 🤔.
No issue with the match being off though, probably the 1st of many.

I remember that joke first surfacing about the time that Peter Knowles quit football for religion ...
'Have you heard that Villa have signed Peter Knowles? Not to play for them, just to pray for them ...'
And, all these years later, nothing much has changed! Although, Villa are on their longest unbeaten run of the season - must be nearly 3 weeks
