Agreed about the top six thing! I think the PL will be a much evener playing field with VAR. However fans not being able to confidently celebrate a goal is a real downside to VAR
-
This is not a valid poll. Loads of people have voted without the full facts and therefore don’t know what they are voting for... I call for a second poll!
-
If we were in any doubt about who the big fish really are around here. Aston Villa will now have more season tickets holders than WBA or Birmingham can sell seats respectively! We also could fill Molineux to 94% capacity with our season ticket holders only.
-
Wolves have done very well over the last few years.Good ownership combined with a good manager puts them in a very good position. Villa appear to have the same combination now. Lets see how far it can take us
-
Bluenoses will tell you that the move was carefully thought out by the great footballing minds at the club. ”Jota isn’t all that good” ”he didn’t do much for us” “You will find out”
-
How many tickets do Spurs give to away fans?,
-
I would have sympathy for them. But considering that even the most sensible level headed Bluenoses still have that thinly vailed contempt for us I cant...... Funny as f@%k

I think by mugged off he means that as fans you have accepted the buy to sell line rather easily. Of course you do because “it’s for the good of the club” but making the amount of profit you mention is very impressive are you sure it all goes back into the club?

Big Ron did something similar in 91/92. He built a great team with only a few poor signings (Paul Mortimer for one),although with some of the names he got in they were almost certain to succeed to be fair.
-
Have say I would like them to get it right.They have a long suffering fan base (3 of which I had a chat with at a pub in Westminster before Monday’s game - they were down in the dumps!) They suffer like I can imagine us suffering I always count Villas blessings when I see Sunderlands struggles.
-
The truth is Villa adopting this song is more real than most people imagine.It is not contrived, it wasn’t thought up or given to us by anyone..... In that moment after the win a Reading we took it and made it our own. I look forward to singing it at the Champions League final one day
-
I have to say the fact we got relegated got me off my backside and back down to Villa Park as a season ticket holder. The situation as I saw it was I need to be there when we get back...what kind of fan was I if I didn’t fully back us week in week out.I felt Villa needed the support. What a ride it was ,ending in one of my best days out watching Villa on Monday. To the Championship,I thank you for the experience.I think Villa are now stronger for spell we spent as your guests. Please don’t be offended if we aren’t back anytime soon though
-
They thought it would last forever.They had their time but for now they are going to have to be a bit more humble. we know what they are
-
Anyone think that Mark Albrighton might return? At 30 he may just have the right balance of experience and fitness that we need.Seeing as he spends his days off from Leicester watching from the Holte End it could be an easy sell
-
It’s not often we go into a Wembley final against a team that finished below us in the league either. See above all games against top four premier sides.....then last year we played the most in form team in the division to top it off. If we could have picked our opponents 9/10 Villa fans we have picked Derby!
-
I think that the difficulty finding space to play over the two legs was a lot to do with the Baggies approached the game.We did run down a lot of blind alleys and there were quite a few potshots from outside the area also.Im not sure it was the form of the players generally dropping though, because they had to play well in a different kind of way and was to do with the level of performance of the opposition. It would be nice to take the lead in the final this time even if it’s against the run of play. As we have seen a goal Can galvanise a team a lead to an overall improvement over the 90 minutes.UTV
-
Baggies fans fuming...Mr Tumble they call him. I though it was a very good performance by them. They know they cant take us on at football so they use other means and it very nearly worked. But their fans are so obsessed with us, it affects their judgement!
-
We were passing along the edge of the box during the majority of our attacks. One of those passes would fall to Whelan who would take a touch and spread it out wide. It was a pattern of play the West Brom were very used too...and comfortable defending. Id argue that this is why Hourihane had so much space for the goal. If....and its a big if, this entered Dean Smiths thought pattern when he made the substitution then it was a very smart move!
-
There are not many opposition fans who think highly of Jack. They almost without exception think that he "dives, goes down easily etc. etc." As fans and players of the opposition get more and more wound up (like yesterday!) I find myself watching the game and saying to myself " well just stop kicking him then " but of course they cant as they need to stop him playing. Its catch 22 and I'm glad he is on our side!
-
Chester will be comfortable alongside Ming's. He is happier when he has a more vocal player alongside him. I know he was playing for a while whilst injured but I do think that part of his problems this season were that he had to take on Terry's role.
-
Agreed.He was just immense!
-
Whichever way you look at it,Dean Smiths results with a (more or less) full squad available are more than enough for a top six finish. There are 7 games to go and it looks like the turnaround in form is here to stay. Does anyone think his persistence with playing a style suited to Jack Grealish.....even though he wasn’t on the pitch,has helped the team click now that he is back?
-
I’m not working with any noses. What is their view? How are they reacting? In my experience yesterday a new low for them....but also in my experience what Villa fans see as a low they see as an achievement....
-
So....35000+ fro a home game on a Friday night live on SKY. Full house against the Baggies and another 35000 plus attendance due Saturday. All this during one of our worst runs of results in recent memory. But talk to a Blues or Baggies fans and........"Villa fans need to realise they are not a big club anymore!" Their lack of awareness for basic facts is amazing....
