Check out Germany's & Argentina's World Cup wins, for examples. Many teams won many trophies by being dull in many ways in many years gone by. Villa have done calamities to death, so have won nothing in almost 30 years.
Sky Sports News this morning scrolling repeatedly that Spurs are 4th above Villa. That was true for 2 hours, which ended yesterday evening. Sky six bias.
I stopped watching, but it sounds like England have been about as creative & determined as Villa under Lerner after 2009. Criminal, for all of us who want to win trophies.
