what a day...
the weather was beautiful, the atmosphere was electric, the football even better....
seeing the 82 side parading around villa park, was a sight to behold...
a 25 year grudge from one petty old man, put to rest, and we could finally put a sorry quarter of a century behind us and move on to the next step...
i really felt like yesterday was going to be the "first day of the new era", for many reasons and the day lived up to my expectations and then some...
would like to credit the sheff utd fans for being superb before, during and after the game... some friendly banter in the pubs, some friendly banter going towards the ground, they sang even when losing and playing badly, as well as a fantastic conga that was stupidly stopped by the stewerds for some reason, then the were all very respectful after the game... had to give them a clap as i walked past their coaches and i can safely say that they have been the best fans to come to villa park all season of the games i have attended...
all in all, a fantastic day....
