First Home Win Relief…
A little bit later than normal in the week, but finally a Five Reasons to be Cheerful after an actual Aston Villa win. For those who braved the cold, it was a fitting reward after weeks and weeks of suffering worse elements – namely, miserable performances and poor results.
David Bowie’s Heroes rang out around Villa Park and the players after 90 minutes became 90-minute heroes to lift spirits on what potentially could have been a very chilly and gloomy night. You just have to listen to me on the Sports bar on Talksport to gage the mood on the day!

One swallow doesn’t make a summer, but Villa were mainlining, so the win is certainly the jolt to help get the pulse going again. Wins against Leicester and West Brom in the upcoming games and then maybe, just maybe, we can start to believe again.
In the meantime, here’s five reasons to be cheerful as Aston Villa fans…
2. VILLA FAN ON THE PITCH
Booed onto the pitch Joleon Lescott finally proved he supported the Villa by rising to the occasion. Solid in defence with Jores Okore and coming up trumps with the winning goal, he reacted well to the incident on Saturday and showed the kind of fighting spirit Villa supporters have been crying out for.
Rumours that LA Galaxy have tabled a three-year contract to Lescott, potentially provide another Villa player with a big decision to make. Certainly with the money, lifestyle and length of contract at stake, it will be hard to resist for the Villa centre-back.
If he signs, maybe he can delay his trip out there? As Lescott still has a part to play and if Villa are to perform a miracle, he might just have a hand in it.
