Villa manager Martin O'Neill spoke to the world from his home city of Birmingham as he became the most unexpected winner of the Premier League title. Here is the full text of his victory speech:
"Hello, Britain.
"If there is anyone out there who still doubts that Aston is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our support, tonight is your answer.
"It's the answer told by lines that stretched around grounds in numbers this nation has never seen, by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference.
"It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, and brummie, Villains who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of whingers or sheep.
"We are, and always will be, Aston Villa Football Club.
"It's the answer that led those who've been told for so long by so many to be cynical and fearful and doubtful about what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.
"It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this date in this season at this defining moment, change has come to football.
Yes we can.

I love the optimism, with Chelsea, Liverpool and Man U looking only slightly better than average sides and L'Arse having pressed the self-destruct button back in February at the pornodome, can Villa do it? Yes we can.
