I too have remained outwardly positive out of blind faith and love for AVFC but I have known deep down for a while that we aren't going up. Now is the time to admit it. Not lose our heads and plan for the best possible start to next season. Throwing millions at the team didn't work so I think now is the time to build a proper team.

I didn't wake up and watch the game. I admit I didn't even set my alarm. Ive finally reached the point where I just can't be assed....... One of the saddest days of my life

My apologies and thank you

Sorry if this wrong thread but seemed the closest I could find.... Basically I pay for ad free but the last few days I've had ads. I've tried signing in on a different device and the same thing...

Not in a villa shirt

Stephen Ireland never played for us. He just happened to be running around on the pitch in a villa shirt during a villa match.

No it doesn't

R.I.P Villa Legend

Southampton was who I thought of when I tried to think of a similar team. However you are spot on in saying we should be the innovators and follow a model that we create that works well for us.

Most of that is your opinion which is fine you should've posted it as such. Not too serious mate just didnt take kindly to saying i wanted to be like West Brom. This has gone on way too long it started off me posting my opinion on where I would like to be in five years.......

What?? Maybe you shouldve just posted your thoughts on the question without quoting me as I have no idea what your getting at. By all means enjoy quoting people for no apparent reason. If thats what give ya your giggles.

Um.... When have West brom won a cup When have West brom qualified for Europe When have West Brom consistently finished in the top 10 Nothing in my post infers that I'm content being anything like West Brom Glad we got that clear. Just to support my confusion on your post West Brom.... Last cup - 48 years ago Last European qualification - 35 years ago Last consecutive top 10 finishes - 37 years ago AND relegated multiple times from the top division

I would like us to be stable in the Premier League. Expectations by then should be top ten consistently. We should have good structure behind the scenes and we should be a well run club. I.E knowledgeable scouts. We should only sell players because it is an offer to good to refuse AND WE USE THE $ TO MAKE US BETTER. We should only buy players because they improve us and bring what we are looking for NOT BECAUSE SOME CLUELESS WORD REMOVED THINKS ITS A GOOD IDEA. Id hope by then Jack Gresford has become a club champion on the way to legend status. It would be nice to have won a cup or at the very least had a good run. It would be nice to qualify for Europe and not lose to the same piss weak team 2 years in a row in the first round. Oh and it would be nice if we havnt been through 17 managers in those 5 years. In fact I'd be happy if Bruce was still in charge cos that would mean he was doing an excellent job. Last but most importantly I would like Aston Villa to have a training camp in Australia preferably in Adelaide so I can see my team play just once live. That just about covers it.

Im sure if you were in charge of JV's finance you would do an excellent and brilliant job.

Come on JV you know what they mean. Excellent maybe a tad OTT but he was impressive on debut against a good team. Excellent is a bit excited but despite conceding to goals he sounded like he was confident, in command of his area and made some top saves. You fly the flag for positiveness, remember?

I know you're going to be upset SGC but today was Bruce letting RHM know he can bugga off. However talented, nice, funny he might be. He is also a dumbass..... plain and simple

It means a lot more than a 14 minute cameo. That's Bruce saying get to the back of the line mate. Keinan Davis debuted today and he would be very happy. I like that Bruce has made a clear statement. Piss off with your bs Rushian

Im not sure many will get this but i think i just peed a little

That is fine mate but silly argument was probably a touch patronising especially when i was making the same point as you. Lets all have a big VT cuddle ey

Silly arguements??? Lol well i better not start another one with you

Ah see now we are getting somewhere..... you have started out saying shittest player ever signed and now your articulating your point I understand you better and see your point of view. Everyone is entitled to post how they want but me personally if im going to post my opinion I like for others to understand me (doesn't mean they'll agree with me) what gets me a little off is short statements that leave me wondering what the hell that person was thinking. Thankyou for elaborating. You clearly do support Villa and you clearly do know what has happened in the last 5 years so I apologise for my assumption but you didn't give me a lot to go on. For what little its worth I have new found respect for your point of view....

Well we are all entitled to our opinion..... Holt, Holmann, Bowery, Helenius are 4 names off the top of my head (while I'm working) that are attacking players that would beat Libor to the list of shittest players ever signed. That's without thinking or using google.

I can agree with that completely. I remember when we signed him after benteke and thought he wasnt the type of striker we needed. He was an afterthought, shows how the club was being run back there. He has however always acted professionally and some of the comments about him are... well... uneducated would be a nice way of putting it.

Wow some people's view of Libor make me think they dont actually follow Villa or not aware of anything that actually happened in the last 5 years. Not good enough - agree after 2 horrific injuries that took way too long to get over, and no real run in the first team his confidence is gone as are his legs. One of the shittest players ever signed - bahahahahahaha, not even close to this list.

Maybe you're joking but Salifou's first name was the best thing about him......... Moustapha
