I was tempted to rename this article ‘Five Reasons to be Cheerless as Aston Villa Fans’ after the Watford result. Then I wasn’t going to bother with it, due to the depression of thinking about Aston Villa’s current plight and how we’ve been led into this by the club’s custodians. However, we’ve never missed a Five Reasons since MOMS has been going, so here it is, a little later than normal.

2. TOUGHEN UP THE KIDS

Well at least younger Villa supporters are getting some life lessons following the Villa. They’ve swiftly learnt that life isn’t a bed of roses and the reality of existence isn’t like Disney World.

Granted, maybe it is a bit early for young Villans to learn that life is just one big sh** sandwich to be swallowed before you die, but hey, it’ll give them some character and provide them with the angst to channel into their cultural pursuits – for example, getting into more melancholic bands like Joy Division, The Smiths, Portishead and Nirvana.

 

 

To be honest, it’s the kids I feel sorry for the most in the past few seasons (thank god for that FA Cup semi-final win against Liverpool). My favourite times following Villa were probably before I even became a teenager in terms of having a true love of the game. I learnt a lot about European places and geography through the team’s European exploits and also I had real Villa heroes to mimic on the school football pitch. Now, I’m just a jaded bast**d.

  1. If I have to live another 20 years watching this sh** I don’t want to. I love my team and would be happy for a period of relative mediocraty – please please please someone come along and make us play half decent football

  2. I’m 61 years of age and remember the old 3rd Division. Great days and so so sad that we are where we are at present. All I can say is “keep the faith” even if it is a sh** option. Villa ’til I die which statistically will be in 20 years approx – haha

    • If Villa survive this season, it might add another 20 years on all our lives, because we’ll start to believe in miracles! UTV
