Long time since I've been here, but I thought I would check in and see who's about these days......

I am so pleased that after the wilderness years since O Neil we have a manager who is worthy of leading Aston Villa, he's got the feel good levels going again with his brilliant football style ... ok he has inherited some of the dross that Bruce signed ... but I have every confidence he will build a squad here that goes from strength to strength ... Deano is his own man and I have great hope for the future with him at the helm.

To tomorrow .... Deano will have them prepared and they will go expecting to win, all of Bruce's negativity has been erased and as long as the usual culprits ... goalie and left back don't fek up I can only see one winner. I Would like to see both Bolasie and ElGhazi start and with Jack and Mcginn bossing the midfield ... we will frighten em to death ...

3-2 Villa ......

Come on you Lions
