General,
just seconding 1968's opinion, MON is the MAN!! most important signing of the summer is keeping him on! Great man, great manager. All the people that hammer him will be sorry if he ever left. The fact that we're up there contesting with the top four and reaching the later stages of the cups is amazing. We are a big club with a legacy but we can't compete with the likes of chelsea and man city with money.
I'm proud of the season, i love coming to villa park. As long as it's great entertainment and i continue to enjoy the games that's what matters. We can not be expected to win every single game in the league, it's just not possible. Even the likes of arsenal haven't won anything for years now. We got further than them in the cups.
This season HAS been a huge success. Those who think not i feel suffer with delusions of grandeur! We fought (and still are) for 4th place, we probably wont get it this season but at least we have been yet again!!
If we have hit this glass ceiling that the media go on about then is it really that bad if the ceiling is fighting around for 4th place?? Chelsea have an ageing squad, who know's what state Man United will be in when fergie goes so our time might come, just not this season.
Thanks again general for keeping a great club just that.... GREAT! I love the fact you're on here, responding to our comments, giving the feedback to the club. I know we're in stable, good hands with the likes of randy and MON.
Long may it continue!!
