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.
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.
