I want them in the Premier league, just so we can beat them twice a year and have a great time while doing it.

Have you been to a derby before?

Fixed for you buddy.

I was sat in Lower Holte yesterday, row D, block L2. 

The atmosphere towards supporting the players was non-existant. The vitriol sent Matty Cash's and Robin Olsen's way was toxic and disgusting. Zero, literally, zero chanting of support apart from celebrations when we scored. 

It was a nasty experience and one I will not be repeating in that part of the ground. 

Those fans do not deserve these players. 

Edit: Just to add, we normally sit Upper Holte or Upper North Stand using our Claret Club Memberships.

This is all abhorrent to me, but just spitballing, 4 beers in, but here I go.....

The league title is settled by a normal 38 season - as is relegation of the 3 PL teams to the Championship.

League winner and runner's up gets champions league after the normal 38 game season. But for the extra 2 Cl, 1 EL & 1 ECL places there is a play off.

This involves the teams who finish 3rd & 4th, and includes the EFL Championship winners and Runners Up and the domestic cup winners.... It's a sort of wild card play off.
It all takes place in a money rich haven like the US or Saudi....................

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As I scrolled down your post for the final section, I expected to see one very specific word... Mate. This forum is **** with my mind. 

.... Mate.

Can’t say I’ve been impressed so far… hopefully he has a big performance in him soon… we could really do with it.

To be able to demonstrate a "big performance" he needs to have substantial minutes. I'm not sure he's going to get even close to that. 

If Tielemens is injured, it's a front three of Diaby, Bailey and Watkins, with midfield three of Rogers, McGinn and Luiz.

If Emery trusted Tim, he'd have played more of a role leading to this point, (I think).

Come on Villa!

My Wrestling hero. And also what we should call Unai Emery if he somehow traverses this season and achieves 4th place.

I was a bit annoyed at us playing first leg at home against Olympiakos. (Spelling?!)

However, maybe, just maybe, pushing the travelling back a week will help us. If we can get a win next weekend, (aided by no travelling for Thursdays game), coupled with Spurs having to play two difficult games in a week, it might just be all over by next Sunday afternoon.

Woooooah. Shots fired from FollyFoot.

The boy @Sidcow might have to return his tickets at this rate. Or set them on at the Holte End steps as a symbol he's back with the masses.

Seems I've joined the Terrace View club. 

Didn't buy my season ticket by 5.00 and by 9.00 there were no tickets anywhere

After a convoluted buying process I've managed to get a couple of TV tickets. Very expensive mistake.

Still, I suppose I can buy a few prawn sandwiches.

Anyone who boos me I'm going to waive my lower Holte season ticket in their face. 

I don't recognise you any more.

I think that its been done to avoid any doubt about his future. We approached and he agreed with a view to talking again in the summer.  The club or Unai don't want anything to distract  over the next month. Its potentially the 2nd biggest month in our modern history. 

Run up to playoffs, beating Albion and then Derby has to come second behind Rotterdam. 

Zero of what is happening now happens if that run didn't take place. Team would have been decimated and we could / would have been down there for a significant amount of time.

Hi Mr Heck, how’s the new club crest redesign coming along? Been hearing great things about it………

If there's a proportional response from the change of an auto-renewal function, to the new crest not being appreciated, Villa Park may be torched to the ground.

It's not about it being some incredibly onerous task. It's like you reply before reading the post you're replying to.

Let's try this another way: Why do you think they've made this change?

Probably for the reasons stated by many in the thread, incase people forget.

My only point is that it's not that big of a deal. If you forget, you'll notice £50 has left your account and then get the money back when you tell them you don't want to renew. In a world full of massive problems, focussing on this tiny one seems counter-productive. Like I said, each to their own.

It's not that hard to read that people don't like anti-customer behaviour that's clearly a predatory attempt to profit from the forgetful

The functionality is already there, and they're taking it away because they reckon they can shake a few more pennies that way. 

Takes thirty seconds to send an email and cancel. I guess some people don't have thirty seconds spare, each to their own. 

Just now, ender4 said:

If I buy something for a period of 12 months, then I’d like that service to be for 12 months.  Not for them to extend it for another 12 months unless I cancel.  
 

They used to let us choose when signing up whether you wanted auto-renewal or not. I signed up with no auto-renewal. They have now changed the terms of the contract I signed up to without my consent. 
 

Playstation Plus and some car insurance also try this trick and I don’t allow them to either. But at least they tell you at the start of the contract, not changing it during my contractual period. 

I’m certainly not going to accept this from Villa either. 

I do realise that I might be in a minority and that’s fine. That’s what the club are banking on, 99% won’t even read the email. 

So you're not going to renew because of this?

22 minutes ago, Vive_La_Villa said:

It’s principle. People want to have the choice to auto renew or not without having to send an email. 

You do have the choice. You can choose not to renew before the auto renewal date and you can choose to cancel after the auto-renewal date.

You can cancel for free, no drama, with full refund, within 14 days of the membership being renewed.

I don't understand what people are getting pissy about?

Just watched the last episode of the Sunderland 'Till I Die documentary. Fans crying. Dads with kids crying. Everyone crying. 

If / when we win the UECL and / or qualify for Champions League, there will be tears. Fact.

And I honestly think for next season the title thread will be equivalent of this one. 

I started this one on the day we beat Brighton to secure UECL. 

I am more than happy to start the title thread on the day when / if we secure UCL!

tbf our best performances in 2 of the last 3 games was without Luiz.

Blasphemy I know, but, is there scope for the team that played today be the First XI moving forward? Who would you take out for Chelsea to allow Luiz in?
