Far from the only one but awful again today.

Rubbish performance. Hopefully it won't matter in a couple of hours but we're hanging on this season for dear life now.

Of course Brighton who have been in dogshit form and couldnt score end their run against us. Vintage Villa.

Miles off. Move on.

Another example of the conspiracy against Aston Villa there 

We've had some really, really terrible halfs recently. First against Lille, Olympiacos, Chelsea. Jesus. Limping over the line.

**** hell Ollie that was shite.

Olsens fault. 

You've made your point on this and it wasnt funny the first time.

Diaby too often makes the wrong decision in those positions.

we should be in or around  the top 7 most seasons. 

It's not 'entitled' 

Oh the irony.

Well, if you ask me what’s more important - getting into champions league or winning some Mickey Mouse cup that West Ham won last year…

How many Mickey Mouse cups have we managed to win in the last 28 years? How will we fare in the Champions League if we get smashed 4-2 at home to the 5th best team in Greece?

What exactly is it about Aston Villa's recent years that gives the brass neck to have that spoilt brat entitlement? What have our fans become? A couple of good seasons and look at some of us.

Has winning the ECL helped West ham kick on, or Sevilla after winning the EL 3 years on the trot?! Winning a minor trophy is good for fans to celebrate, but has little effect on progressing the club long term.

I can't tell if you're being serious or not. No West Ham haven't "kicked on" but they won a trophy that will last forever. Their first one in 40 years. That's what matters.

As for Sevilla, they are world renowned as UEFA Cup/Europa League specialists. The all-time most wins. For a club like, La Liga dominance or even one win is almost impossible. They have achieved something beyond their wildest dreams.

I genuinely cannot believe I have to explain this to people. It boggles my mind. You sound completely insane to me.

These words removed havent been in League 1/Division 2 for 30 years. Lovely. Hopefully they go bust.

Lowering themselves?

dead inside?

The problem is football today because money makes such a difference to clubs being able to compete.  To be involved in CL football benefits the club long term and remain competitive.  Winning a cup is fantastic and ideally I would want both but I’m 51% CL place, 49% ECL.  

You need to blame football generally that money is made mainly from one competition and is one of the very few ways to remain competitive….we understand that not getting CL means more chance of losing one of our top players where it is unlikely unless we want to if we get CL.  

It’s a sad indictment on football so you can’t blame the fans that realise the situation and argue for CL over the ECL.  We would love to be traditional and focus on only winning a cup but we understand the realities of modern day football.

Absolute bollocks. We want to make more money and keep our best players for what? What's the end game? The goal at the end of the day? Winning trophies.

Tottenham have been in the CL a lot recently, even reached a final. How does history remember this period for them? Failure. How will their fans remember it? Unable to get over the line. Always the bridesmaid.

If you ask every Newcastle fan whether they could have won the League Cup last year and finished 5th or losing the final and bombing out of the CL as they did. What do you think they would say? 99.9% would take the trophy, obviously. It's like some Villa fans have lost their minds. I have just given examples, recent ones in this very league and still I hear this same old shit. It's a sad indictment you're right. But of certain fans, not football.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The people posting things like "Thursday doesnt matter as long as we win at the weekend" or equivalent make me feel slightly dead inside.

I never thought our fanbase would lower themselves to that kind of attitude. This season has been a wake up call in that respect. I guess all fanbases have those kind of fans but for some reason, I didnt think we would.

"He doesnt have Kamara next to him" is the biggest cop out I've ever heard. He's in dogshit form and its on him. If he's tired then he should be dropped/rested.

Utter rubbish.

I'm struggling to remember a worst performance from a Villa player than his tonight. Or how costly it could turn out to be.

One of the worst performances in a Villa shirt I have ever seen.

All is forgiven if we beat Brighton and cement 4th

No it absolutely is not.

The Villa Park fans covering themselves in glory as usual by being silent.

This team is **** shit and there's 20 minutes left. We can definitely get a draw out of this. There is nothing to fear in the away leg either.
