[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Aston Villa 1 Manchester City 5 (White 4, Brennan)
Team: Coton, Hill, Pointon, Heath, Hendry, Redmond, White, Brennan, Quinn, Harper, Ward. Subs: P Reid, Allen.

One of those games you just never wanted to end..... great trip to / from and during Villa Park for the night game.

Remember it like yesterday....bunked off college early in Camden. Bus to euston, then caught mid afternoon train before rush hour. Despite the evening ko, MCFC brought a good following down and we enjoyed that evening's activity. White was like a whirling dervish, think he was played central....pure fire that evening....Had a good, effective team under Reidy.

Honourable mention for Ward....that guy was amazing, great energy and impact on the team.

Re-arranged game after the original being called off when on my way for snow.

Glad i took the day off work and made the effort to go in the evening.

Was supposed to go to this game. Mate went to withdraw cash from his savings account but the bank wouldn't let him withdraw as his signature has changed. So we couldn't buy the tickets.

Gutted when I heard the score!

A mate of mine I went to the match with was knived to death in town on the Saturday night of the weekend before this. He was supposed to be at this match, always reminds me of him whenever it comes up. He would have loved to watch what we have been privileged to see in the last 6 years. RIP Ste

Agree on Mark Ward. Many weren't happy with Bishop going the other way, me included, but Ward was great for the team.

Yes it was unstoppable that night and I was there to see it.

Couldn't get a ticket for our end so we were in the Holte End,what a game to have to keep your mouth shut at

I was there, what a great game. Terrible view, in the Villa end two rows back behind the goal. Was hard to keep quiet
