Remember six years ago today a Villa fan threw a cabbage at manager Steve Bruce in the Championship.

That was the best Villa game of my lifetime. Not the best performance, but the all-round package – the occasion – was incredible. And such a fitting result too, we were very very good.
That Duran goal is proper fucking football. 95% of modern players would hold it up there and look for a runner.
He's the most instinctive player I've ever seen. His thinking time is almost zero. It's either some kind of natural gift, or he is just arrogant enough to believe in himself every time. His real-time reading of the game and the way play develops is so advanced for such a young player.
Rogers, too, is absolutely mustard. Bellingham vibes. His post-match interview was properly impressive too for someone so young.
Should be pointed out it is actually October now, ahem thread starters, but in dying homage to the title character:
Former Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has hinted his interest in the England manager role, which is currently held by interim manager Lee Carsley.
Real proper mid-table fodder.
Jhon Duran and Nicolas Jackson saving the soul of modern football.
The rise of Rogers is insane. We bought him for £1m last summer. Three months in, didn’t look all that good and struggled to get in the team. Thought we’d hit the jackpot selling him on in January after six weeks of good form in the Championship. Yet here we are.
Villa are single handedly keeping my interest in club football alive.
