As my son would say – “sweet”

A debut goal from Zat Knight and a late Gabriel Agbonlahor strike saw Aston Villa beat Chelsea 2-0 and end Chelsea’s 18-match unbeaten streak in the league.

Zat Knight made it a dream debut for Villa

We listened to the end of the game in the kitchen as I prepared a very fine pasta, pepper and chicken dish for the family. Indeed, the end of the game was much more exciting than the all-Ireland hurling final we watched earlier which Kilkenny won at a canter.

I must sometime explain that the love of Villa is a sort of family inheritance. And I do like the fact that we have inherited a team that we follow through thick and thin – not like all those other Johnny-come-latelies, or bandwagon-jumpers, who follow a top three team, knowing that they will always be winning something or other.

So on an evening like this, it gives me even more pleasure in saying Up the Villa.

Bald blogging bloke in Belfast boldly writes…

These are some of the things that please me. Or annoy me. Or just plain happen to me. A lot of it's going to be about music, sport, marketing and family things. There'll be the odd sarcastic rant as well - I hope. It'll probably be written quite fast and be frequently daft or confusing. Or both. Spelling/typing may be up the left too. So if that's not your cup of tea there's not much point in wading through it all. Not entirely sure how all the technical bits work but I'm going to give it a go. If I do something terribly off-blog, just let me know.
