The cynic in me wonders if they are going to change strips next season  |
When Villa played at Blackburn Randy Learner was driving past a pub which was full of Villa fans, he said to his driver stop I want to buy those fans a drink, his bodyguard said I don't think it's a good idea, he told him to shut up and just drive to the pub, when he got there he received a reception fit for a king, he bought every fan in that pub a beer and thanked them for their support.
If anyone has ever been to Villa park there is a pub at the Holt End which is a Villa pub, Doug Ellis closed it down because it wasn't making any money, when Randy Learner took over he re-opened the pub and refurbished it, the sell cheap beer to the Villa fans at home games.
A few months ago all the Ex Villa players went to Villa Park for a get together, when Doug Ellis was there they all refused to attend, when Randy Learner took over he invited them all to the ground for the get together, he presented them with a medal, paid them £1,000 and put them up in a hotel for the night.
When you ask Villa fans about Randy Learner they won't shut up about him, they love him to bits.

Congratulations anyway!  |
As much as I dispise Steve Bennet he used his cannister on this occasion, he could have sent Scholes off but decided to rattle Scholes's ear hole. If I was the ref I wouldn't have sent Scholes off, any decent ref would know how Scholes plays.
