Get in The Villa!

Another fine result today.
Villa 2 - 0 Charlton Athletic

Got to say it wasn't the most inspiring performance especially in the first half. I wasn't bored by any stretch of the imagination because just thinking about the noise and the atmosphere makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. But it was a bit steady first half, then the first goal came about half an hour in from Gabriel Agbonlahor and it was amazing! He tore a hole in the net from a volley that was just incredible to watch. I wish it was done at the Holte End where we were sat so I could have seen it close up. It was fantastic.
Luke Moore slotted in the second goal in the second half and sealed the game. I was hoping for three goals, but a win is a win is a win!

I went with Tony as per usual. I'm glad he's got me into this because it's such a buzz. The excitement before the match, the atmosphere as you reach Villa Park and then the game itself. The noise is incredible and I just wish I could afford to go every match because I'd be there.
The last match we went to we were killing ourselves running through the rain to see the team come onto the pitch. We didn't need to this time because we were there in plenty of time.
There was a bit of a queue in the Villa shop before the match but I was able to get the latest shirt too which felt great being able to wear.
Our next mission is to go to an away game which I really want to do. I like the idea of being totally outnumbered but cheering the team on trying to make as much noise as possible. Me and Tony would be noisy as hell singing the team on so I'd hope the other fans who went would be the same.

Anyways, I made a little blurred crap quality video of Villa coming on to the pitch. Great crowd noise. You can hear the fans singing, the tune of which I think I'm confident enough to do now because it was a bit complicated first few times I heard it.
