I hate Arsene Wenger & their wanky fucking fans, but I wanted Arsenal to win, as I want the best possible antidote to Gerrard. I would actually prefer the rags to win the cup than that cunt.

Bond used the 'New Manager' syndrome to enthuse the side, tighten things up at the back and simplify things when going forward. Good results started to follow and, as confidence grew, the team had a good Cup run and reached the final.
The only trouble was that the following season was largely disappointing, as things didn't go quite as well as we'd all hoped it would and then, in the season after that (1982/83), Bond jumped ship and City ended up by being relegated.
I wonder if this sort of parallel will continue, in the same way, for Villa ??
