Not been a good few years as it ?
Even the fun and games at the Sty really are not enough to put a smile on many Villa fans. However let me take you back to the most irrelevant game in our history.
Remember when Liverpool came to town. our season was over, Downing scored in 1-0 win but no one cared, events on the pitch came a very low second to those off the pitch. A full house where no Villa fan left and why ?
Well this video tells the story
enjoy as in my view it was the last time we had a proper atmosphere at Villa. Who would have thought a few weeks later the manger we celebrated in relegation would be our manager.
What a pointless post .
go somewhere else then, where you can talk at great detail about formations or how the grass grows ?
It is a pointless post, but more to the point reflects we have so little to debate as it’s so debilitating being a Villa fan at present. We have nothing to celebrate except Blues going down years ago…it’s almost embarrassing.
Agree to a point blues used to be irrelevant as we had bigger fish to fry. Now seeing their demise is all wev got to look forward to how far wev fallen
I forgot why I didn’t come to this site. Thanks for reminding me to stay away.
bye then!
Then why bother coming on in the first place?
More good news (of course fake but you know… Funny)… We’re linked to Bendtner! Now we’d be incredible if we signed the best player in the world in Bendtner. Oh, we’re also linked to Lennon.
Ha ha it’s getting desperate at vp now. The article even said that lambert sees him as competition for Benteke lol. Firstly benteke won’t even be here and even if he was he wouldn’t be fit to lick his boots
Eh, Benteke’s a possibility of being here still. We’re probably already asking at least 30m for him as we were asking a lot of money for Milner, Young and Downing which we got. A better world cup and his price only goes up, won’t go down as we can afford to keep him for the next 3 years.
I think Bendtner’s decent-esque, but yeah. He’s no replacement other than size, decent technical ability but wouldn’t trust him in the slightest. However between him and Kozak, we’d have a semi-solid strike force with Helenius still. But we’ll look abroad again for a striker if Benteke leaves, hopefully in Belgium for their up and coming strikers.
Ps as for Lennon maybe in part ex for bentenke but no way would he join us. Also he’s no better than gabby who gives us all the pace we need. Probably be linked with Ronaldo tomor yawn. So desperate to sell STs it’s untrue
But Lennon’s a RW, better than Albrigton and would give Weimann his chance to play behind Benteke.
I still don’t think there’s a chance Benteke goes to Spurs, even in any P/E for Lennon.
Lennon’s not a name to get ST sells. Lol
He’s still a known player that is deemed as a step step up from our unknown dross. I think he is the next level up for us but can’t see him wanting to come to us
Why not? We’re not some small club despite recent seasons, plus if Spurs aren’t going to play him, a mid-table club is the best he’s gonna get. So unless QPR come back up and offer him 100k wages or Southampton decides to sign him which I highly doubt, or possibly Newcastle, we’re arguably in the best position to get him. He’s not going to a better team than Tottenham and we’re one of the best of the worst with more money than most.
But there are still better clubs than us he could go to that would pay more. Everton, Newcastle, saints etc
I doubt they’d offer all that much more than us… Like what, 5k a week more (other than Southampton). I doubt we’ll get Lennon, an out and out winger, but we’d still be well in the running for him.
5k a week more is still quarter of a million pounds more a year and 3 quarters over 3 years
That’s true. I guess we’ll wait and see. I doubt we’ll even go for Lennon but an interesting link. Had scouts at the Bordeaux-Lyon game I’ve read (Bordeaux-based journalist claims anyways).
Sean or Julian?
Just for info, a certain tosser’s posts have been deleted.
While it’s funny to see that video (and I agree we don’t see much of that atmosphere down the Villa these days) the serious part of me feels sorry for the shit.
As much as I dislike them, I really wouldn’t want to see them go bust.
I would. Fuck ’em. They could then spend their Saturdays learning personal hygiene.
🙂
Fair enough mate.
actually to get them out of the hands of the crook they need to go into admin and bust. In fact as they are now confirmed to have been brought wiyk corrupt money I do wonder how long it is before the creditors call in all the loans.
The longer they remain in business the worse it will be for them.
It does make you wonder though is Lerner all that bad an owner. I am not defending all his actions but I do honestly think he does want whats best for AVFC. It could/would be so much better if he had an advisor with a backround in footballing matters at the club and more importantly passionate about Villa. (Not so pointless now Ian !!! )
“(Not so pointless now Ian !!! )”
That’s the thing Tekkers48.
Posts have a way of meandering off the original subject, so they’re never pointless, imo.
Anything that gets us rattling is all good for me especially when there’s no bleeding game.
I agree. All posts have a point and that is to get us discussing villa ! My comment was made in gest at Ian for his similar remark on the previous post regarding Gary Gardiner.
Ah, I’m with you now 🙂
Just how was appointing Mcleish or Lambert ‘the best for Villa’ ?
How was allowing Given to be on a 5 year contract after he all said about MON ‘the best for Villa’ ?
How was it ‘best for Villa’ spending £20M on a player who only ever does one thing from crosses and then sell all the quality wingers ?
If he could not afford to run villa he should have put the club up for sale. you can not tell me his schedule is so busy he could not have come over for games in the past two years ?
As for the advisor well yes he needed one (not the out of touch Graham taylor as many said) but is it was decision not to have one (well maybe Fergie ha ha ) and how was that ‘best for Villa’ ?
Could be worse we coukd have desmichelles at man city. He wouldn’t even get into our team complete pile if shite
jeez is he not totally shite and Jose must be laughing all the way to the bank with Man City. As we discussed yesterday Oohah a team built on defence will always be better than the likes of City we now see.
So true mate this fa cup run and league cup have cost them the league can’t see them winning 3 games in hand and can see us going there and getting something.
Does anyone really care about the blue nose….UTV
It’s not that I care about them Jay Dee.
It’s more that I would miss the banter/ the build up to playing them.
And we’d be the only really big city in the UK to not have two clubs, which would be a disgrace, imo.
There again, Leeds do ok.
So perhaps it would be a plus for us, in that future noses would only have the Villa as a local club, which would lead to a bigger fanbase.
Nah, I still wouldn’t wish any club going bust.
Nearly 30,000 at Leeds yesterday. Fair play that’s good support for where they are even though they are a one city club there are loads of other Yorkshire teams
Badger your on the same wavelength as me, when will fans stop hating because they like that team, if you was in a situations that life depended on it, would you ask hey are you a blue nose, stop using the game to hate, its football, skill not fucking I hate you because, my team is Aston Villa, my second team is my City, not London, not Liverpool, not Manchester, Villa, and Birmingham my City, call me a silly sod but that’s how I look at sport. There are many other things to hate and its not sport. Wear the shirt with pride.
Yep, at the end of the day, it’s only a game mate.
But sometimes it feels like Shankly had it correct when he said “Some people think Football is a matter of life or death. It’s more important than that” (or similar).
It’s just what Footy does to us 🙂
I don’t give a shite what happens to the scum we’ll always be no.1 in brum.utv sotc
