    This collapse amongst others (1990 and 1993 - although nowhere near as bad but just as painful) are why Villa fans take "good" starts with a pinch of salt. At the time it felt unbelievable, we were so good......then so bad in one season!

    l like this guy. Good player for us to have, composed stylish and reads the game very well. Its like having a clone of Pau.

    I like the star.It reminds everyone that this club has reached the pinnacle of the game. The only people that it bothers are from clubs without such a history. All I would like is for it to stay on the outside of the badge.I think it’s classier there.

    They were good enough…maybe not pretty on the eye or convincing but they did get the job done. We would all love a 6-1 win every week but most time success is about getting over the line when you are under strength or below par form wise.

    I promise I will NEVER follow a game via the Villa Talk match thread again. I am stuck in. Hotel bar in Egypt with no other way of knowing what is going on. You lot are miserable as ****.It was depressing but I couldn’t stop looking… each new post was a new moan and you have the nerve to create threads about the atmosphere at VP. I genuinely hope none you actually ever go to VP because you will make it worse… UTV!

    This is the truth.I already try to spend as little as possible whilst at Villa Park. I don’t want to give “them” my money “they” are taking the proverbial and we all know it…we have done since Doug was in charge. The club knows our weaknesses only too well and they are being exploited. Wouldnt it be nice to be feel part of something and not the target of something. I will still buy my ticket…..but I might have to plan more carefully for when I retire if I want to keep going.

    I've often wondered this. What do players think about fans that just sing and dance without paying attention to what's happening? Some Milan's fans were doing this the other night......clearly not paying attention to the game just creating an atmosphere. Which is good..........but sometimes it doesn't relate to what happening on the pitch at all.

    Stop taking Aston Villa more seriously than Aston Villa takes you...... This has been my signature since the Doug Ellis days. Just take what you need from Villa....because they will take what they need from you. I buy my season ticket and the occasion pint. Season ticket is good value. The pint isn't........... at the current price and service level. Occasionally i decide to indulge though.

    So much of our play goes through him. He also swept up for Ezri on a couple of occasions. Caught for the goal but Mateta was a threat all game and what defender is perfect and never gets turned?Im sure there are some but I can’t think of names right now. Good player and he has scope to improve.

    There’s also a lot of negativity in this thread. However your final sentence pretty much sums it all up. We are no different to the rest.

    This is true.....but it is a football fans way. Don't be too hard on yourself

    last night i attended with my wife .....it doesn't happen often. I was surprised to see that she was sent to the back of the queue because the steward couldn't check her as he was a man... she was told to join a queue with a women steward. It wasn't a big deal....but i didn't know it was even a thing? This will surely slow things down even more!

    To everyone who is saying "he was shite for Spurs"......... You sound same as football fans around the country who spout "Tyrone Ming's is shit" without really watching him play.
  14. MarkLillis
    This is the type of thinking that makes my head spin. When it comes to football “most fans” don’t know. I include myself in this generalisation

    I'm in the ESR camp too. Could really develop into a top player given the chance. Weren't we in for him a couple of years ago?
  16. MarkLillis
    I would say yes. Based on the Emery/Monchi partnership know how.
  17. MarkLillis
    This is already happening.They are charging for it without delivering! Do we just keep paying and they keep taking? I'd had enough years ago nothing is good value inside VP every fan who attend games regularly knows this.

    How many points Newcastle United, Man United & Liverpool need to seal Champions League finish | NewcastleWorld Here a quick link i found from google stating that the average over the last decade to get top four has been 71Pts. Emery's points per game so far = 1.92 (my own math's) 1.92 points a game is 73pts. Unia is on it!

    I would find it impossible to “give up” about Villa. Maybe I could as I have in the past for various reasons not actually go to the game. However we are talking about things that I have only heard about being done to people I’ve never seen.It’s really difficult to get emotional about it. Its just doesn’t affect my life and nor will affect the Geordies I guess.

    There is a simple solution in my eyes here. Accept that they don't care about us we are just ticket price figures to them. If you accept this then you don't expect much. When you don't get much its not a surprise. You can even get your own back by playing a little game...… try to spend as little as you possibly can with the club during the season as they are only trying to fleece you every way you turn once you are inside.
  21. MarkLillis
    Thought he did well.Under absolutely no pressure though.
  22. MarkLillis
    I have a feeling that the PIF have guaranteed to buy players from them in the future. This would explain the carefree spending… They have an insurance policy. The PIF get a steam of PL big names filtered through to them via Stamford Bridge
  23. MarkLillis
    I think we should stick to the no criticism idea.. After all negativity just brings everyone down Mannn. Peace!
  24. MarkLillis
    Losing Mings is a massive blow. It really is…. Im sorry for him because he has worked his way back to the top of his game and I’m even sorrier that Villa will lose a “peak” Tyrone. He is almost priceless to us. I think Unai will have to work his magic here. At least it’s the first game.
  25. MarkLillis
    tried this a few times over the years...doesn't really work for me. I just don't care enough to get any kind of buzz!
