    Assuming your referring to the Club World Championship, this includes the winners of some serious competitions, its not probably spoken about or highly regarded i guess and its never really counted as much when huge clubs have won it so not sure where that stands. League cup still contains all the prem teams and the divisions below so its still difficult to win, not as prestigious as the FA Cup but definitely would love to win that as it is something i have admired. i take pleasure in winning the hard way, this competition was thrown out there as a extra gateway/opportunity for lets say outside clubs to win something, i want Aston Villa to win what was already established in hard earned fashion and show its not only for the elite to win, but if we win the conference it will be an achievement of course especially we finish top four on top.

    Exciting times ahead, they keep referring to us being in a major European semi final since 1982, i might get stoned by some fans here but ECL is not a major European competition, only Europa and Champions League should be considered major. But have i been deluded most of my life always feeling like Villa is a giant club that should be always with the likes of man utd’s and liverpool’s, even the last 20 odd years as bad as it has been for us I’ve always felt like we should be sitting with them and shouldn’t be looked at as out of place, if you look at our tradition and history it speaks for itself. We are heading back to where we belong. So this may justify when i say the conference is not a major trophy or should be considered a major honour, however if a team like Brentford won it they may have the right to call it major. But make no mistake Aston villa is a gigantic club we forget due to our recent struggles and probably begin to accept winning whatever as something.

    Loving this all these years and its the first we’ve ever finished above them well the first for me anyway , i didnt even think i would ever see us above them considering how huge and successful they’ve been and we have been the complete opposite unreal

    We beat arsenal and liverpool also in the frame for the title have completely collapsed.. Anything can happen nerves and pressure have shown this, they wont be losing both imo but lets hope they do
  5. RicRic
    Spurs will get something against either Arsenal or City, hard to call which one , but feel it will be the city game and then comically this may hand the title over to Arsenal their record against City is probably better than anyone else’s in the last few years. We need two wins before our last match as i would not prefer to be like nervous norris watching this unfold with minutes left

    Does this mean its more likely we play more of some of the european giants such as Real and Bayern ?

    Like this list btw But our main areas we need to purchase new signings for are simply RB and LW/LF. Kosta is nowhere ready to be a starter but one for the future, hopefully we can improve our FFP position by selling Coutinho and Digne (who has been fantastic this season btw) it is possible that Ramsey is moved on but nothing concrete.
  8. RicRic
    Defence does not necessarily need a huge shake up imo, we only really need to concentrate on the RB position where Cash has not shown the consistency and quality required for what is to come for us as a club, we then require a LW/LF (Ideally a Nico Williams) Ramsey and Rogers not going to be sufficient quality enough to be starting against what potentially could be champions league opposition regularly. We may well sign a new CM/DM and a backup forward for Watkins. Bailey and Diaby are excellent options on the right side so see no issues there.

    Which Jackson Michael ? You’d get better odds on him
  10. RicRic
    Quite easily too, far from impossible and thats why i am overly cautious and hoping some of us don't get ahead of ourselves and think Chelsea will be a clean sweep because this is not going to be straight forward especially after that huge loss they will be looking to bounce back heavy.
  11. RicRic
    You’ve made your point clear enough its bizarre how some are even arguing against you quite laughable
  12. RicRic
    Everyone is slipping up now at the top, City will follow suit just watch
  13. RicRic
    Also means us not beating them too and in hindsight id drop points to Chelsea if it means we beat them, send Klopp off in style … i think Liverpool will see them off especially at Anfield
  14. RicRic
    Why has he got a rugby match or something
  15. RicRic
    Hope he tells Chukwuemeka this
  16. RicRic
    Everton beating liverpool after Palace did so the other week yeah thats gonna make Liverpool not even concede another goal for the rest of the season now
  17. RicRic
    My entire life I didnt think this was ever possible and now im ever so close to seeing this what a moment, now securing champions league will be a dream this will mean 100x more than winning ECL as i have always dreamed of us being part of it, FA cups, Premier League titles, Europa (Uefa) cup those are competitions i have grown up with and seen other clubs gain success and envied for so long and for that matter is is extremely important we qualify for this as there is so much novelty in this. Always wanted to win a FA Cup or Premier League at least once in my lifetime come on Emery work your magic
  18. RicRic
    You just know IT ! We will have to hope we can look past that and just win anyway
  19. RicRic
    Sometimes you analyse that specific fixture and not so much what a side is capable of because football is a funny old game
  20. RicRic
    The worst this scoreline gets the more chelsea will be coming to make things right
  21. RicRic
    They got smoked 4-0 at st james park last time out, they play the biggest derby for them in the next game at their home turf they will be forced to put on a performance and will be fired up, so they will not be losing that imo and of late they always do well against Man City and i feel they will be the team to cause an upset in the title race. Things have been going well but i cant see us winning on saturday for some strange reason, of course i hope im wrong
  22. RicRic
    You cant look at football like that , for example our win at the emirates but drew against brentford
  23. RicRic
    Cant see us drawing three games we rarely draw tbf, i think i called the Liverpool win because i think Emery would like to avenge our defeat to them earlier in the season.
  24. RicRic

    Unai Emery
