    Yh. I think that happens within large fanbases. Check out the TNT sport commentary for Ajax "Mauling" and Spurs defeat mentioned about a thousand times.

    Absolutely. It is key that we keep spending in alignment with boosting revenue, I think the club is fully aware of it and steps are being made to achieve it. I am not opposed to "player trading" if it allows for Emery to strengthen his team and thus become more competitive. I think we will be better through experience too. The team and players would have learnt a lot from this season. My hope for next season is we compete better in all competitions we are in.

    There is always cynics and reactionaries in a large fan base , I have been guilt of being negative too in the past. I was hurt after the Chelsea FA cup defeat, I felt like the sky is failling. I also think the away stuff was/is perpetuated by the media/opposition fans too. It is easy to be led into that thinking/feeling too. Ultimately, I am proud of what the team is doing this season with all the difficult circumstances we have had to undergo. Success is not a straight line. We have a lot of building to do. UTV!

    It doesn't help them having their stadium right next door to Sky Sports studios. The love-in by the SS pundits is over the top.

    West Ham are a rigid and hard working team, they will be strong on the transition and corners/FKs. Bowen is a huge threat too. It is imperative we match their attitude and application, I believe we can work our way into their penalty box and take our chances. It is important we are patient and pick our moments well tomorrow. I am unable to predict a scoreline, I think this game will be decided on key moments or lack of.

    It never was. It was just because we had a perfect home record built on hard work and quality, so our detractors digged out our away form to tilt the narrative.

    A win would be good for a week.

    Woah....I've not seen that before, that is bad emotionally - too high. I think it is similar to Gregory and the team photo in the late 90s. I think you have to fight every week and be humble, celebrate when you have achieved your goal. Lack of respect to the opposition too.

    They remind me of a modern day crazy gang, dirty as feck but dressed up as this data driven/hipster club. Sky Sports absolutely love them to bits.

    That is wise. I think it is more of a reaction to the media narrative that has been presented this week, it has been totally demeaning to Villa and the over the top fawning of Spurs has been too much. It is a huge reality check. Spurs have vulnerabilities and weaknesses like all teams below the champions. Spurs looked tired.
  11. Villa_Vids
    That was a true mauling. I think people have given Spurs too much credit for their win against us. It was literally a 10 minute spell in 90 + 10 minutes. I think it flattered them enormously. A huge reality check for them. You need to play well for longer in games to have the sort of unjust praise they were receiving.
  12. Villa_Vids
    I think the best way to hurt Spurs is to attack them, they leave lots of space and gaps.

    home colours in final IF we get there
  14. Villa_Vids
    Good game. Big test.

    Very quiet this thread. Was a warrior last night!
  16. Villa_Vids
    The lions mauled the mighty Ajax! Epic. On to the QFs - keep this adventure going.
  17. Villa_Vids
    Loving the positive predictions guys! Huge night for us.

    What you have wrote has merit but there is defo a concerted lack of respect and coverage for Villa, especially in comparison to Newcastle last season. Multiple cheap digs too - "purple patch" "in-form" just to name a few. Ignorance of our major injury crisis. 50 seconds of air time on MOTD or Sky because they want to cry more about Manchester Utd for 30 minutes. Too many a'hole creeps in the industry, the best ones are the ones that report with facts and offer alternative opinions. It hurts more when the local journalist and personalities are towing the big media line, get behind your local clubs and report the truth ffs

    banned tonight.

    It is different. All of us fans have doubts because we care passionately and sometimes frustration comes to the fore. The media wants a super league within the Premier League - it is very very clear. Look at Sky - it is Liverpool/MUFC TV.
  21. Villa_Vids
    It is true. The media have not once championed the narrative about our rise from championship to european contenders - they don't want Villa to be above their London and North West favs.

    The official word is the redevelopment is paused because of traffic and transport, nothing has been said about construction or money. Heck has stated the club wants to increase the stadium seating bowl to 45k and invest inside Villa Park to improve the experience for "all fans" rather than just one stand. I think it is about making the existing VP financially viable and boosting revenue for the club. Serious redevelopment takes a lot of time at most football clubs, not just Villa. One step at a time? In the long term (along with transport upgrades and traffic management/ of course on field success and sporting progression) - I can see them producing a Villa Park resort with Villa Live, Muesum and Hotel etc - Atairos/Wes Edens have investments in companies that manage and develop these sorts of resorts and entertainment hubs. Along with new north and witton stands being built too. Is it possible for the club to buy Aston Hall and convert it into a hotel/fan park? There is lots of potential at VP when you think about it.
  23. Villa_Vids
    The traditional british bias media don't believe in Villa, they are desperate for all their favs in the Champions League.
