We beat them twice in 4 days . That game and the quarter final were glimmers of light in what were dark days.

The scenes when Benteke tucked home that penalty. I was halfway up the Lower Holte and nearly ended up on the pitch!

On this day 6 years ago Tim Sherwood got his first win for Villa in what was one of the most intense endings to a game I can remember.

Jack woodward alert for those who watch the video. He somehow drains the drama out of an extremely dramatic scenario.

Good stuff. Sometimes it's easy to forget how long Grealish has been in the first team. Shame about Delph he was really good for us.

I remember Pulis spitting with fury that we'd beat them, he even tried to claim it wasn't a penalty. He's never got over those 4 days as he's been bitter towards us ever since.

Not sure if it deserves a thread of its own , but this is a brilliant interview by Matt Kendrick with my first Villa hero Andy Gray about his time at the club.

I loved Big Ron at the Villa and he is a top man away from football as well.

Brilliant video listening to a man 110% confident in his managerial ability and who players would run through a brick wall for.

I remember have the banter with some cocky Leeds fans before the game in McDonalds who claimed they were going to stuff us.

I was just about to put that very article up as well.

What a tragic and awful accident that was.

Mind you that tackle by Steve McMahon was one of the worst I have seen.
