That sticks in my memory too... fudging tinkled up donkey!
18 years is a hell of a vision -> plan -> execution, wouldn't blame him.
I actually think the relatively minor complaints/negative comments against the stadium is very telling, the level of detail to get that much right that early.

We should have had a pen early on too. Think Anderton got pulled down.
One of Dean Austin’s best games for us too if I recall correctly.
Sickner though. Especially with that horrible clam scoring the winner.
Surprised they weren’t using VAR for such an important match

I apologise for my lack of sensitivity.
I did think Eriksen was anonymous in that game too though....

Surely not, you must be mistaken - that arsenal team were a beacon of fair play and decency...

That's from VillaTalk's 'Spurs' thread, which is so full of barely-contained loathing that it's amusing to read. 
Yep, it does look nice, doesn't it?
But, more to the point, a lot of Levy's fans make the point that we were once behind Villa, and that's true. Certainly I remember the days of finishing behind them while they were gunning for CL, just as we were - with a pretty solid team bursting at the seams with pace and energy. Young and Milner down the wings, Agbonlahor and Carew up front, Gareth Barry in midfield.
Those days, they were ahead of us, and we wondered if we would upend that dynamic. And we did - we got into the CL, we broke ground on the new stadium, we hired Poch, and we never looked back.
And they fell down the table, got relegated, languished in the Championship for season after season, and are now scrabbling to get into the playoffs, while holding up Jack Grealish as their greatest player amidst a team of overpaid Championship has-beens.
It's certainly true that we ended up better than them, in every sense. The stadium is living proof of that, and I've never denied it. Other aspects of how we're run?
Well, that's an argument for another day. But for now, enjoy.
Do visit VillaTalk's thread - they're so bitter it's amazing, and I do feel sorry for them, languishing in the second-tier dreaming about what might have been.
