I don't get that one. It seems disproportionate -- the hatred. Sadly, all my English cousins are baggies and they're laughing it up right about now. very obsessed.

Kingman Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 1/50 to go down… 16/1 to stay up. Would you bet against us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dounavilla Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) 16/1 same odds for PSG to win the champions league. Basically not going to happen. Edited January 7, 2016 by dounavilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we had better stay up! You won't be watching Villa for a mighty long time then. FWIW the promotion season under GT was proper good. I mean really good, only problem is Garde can't do what GT did as football is not like it was then. No committe overseen by fuckwits told GT who he could and couldn't have in his squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you totally stop following the club once we go down, then you're not a fan. Simple as that. I stopped my season ticket when we appointed Mcleish. Will never renew until Lerner has gone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Baggies fans are that hell bent and obsessed with seeing us go down that they wouldn't even notice or care if they imploded and came down with us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supernova26 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) Every Midlands team must be laughing their head off at our plight, you wouldn't expect any different. Is there any reason why we can't PSG, Bayern, Man City, Celtic that league though? All we have to do is make sure we have the best players...we'll be a big pull down there. The manager is not so important as long as he's just competent. Celtic win the league with any random mug they have in charge. Randy's desire to get us back up will be paramount, we can't do it on the cheap. People mention Leeds etc but they were in dire financial shiit. Not sure what happened with QPR?

No committe overseen by fuckwits told GT who he could and couldn't have in his squad The thing is, it's easy to take pot-shots at the committee paradigm, but there's not a single big club in the country that isn't using some kind of committee system, even if it's not called that. There's so much money involved, and the scouting systems alone are so complex and huge, no manager alive could possibly keep eyes on every aspect of the recruitment process. Managers have to have help. Obviously, there's a question of degree in all this, and Villa's committee frankly didn't seem to do a good job, but a good committee with a good manager could work really well.

Yep, Cov are just as bad, laughable really. With regards to Albion I was never aware of the extent of their hatred until they started finishing above us. I always used to want them to do well but constant goading and piss taking would make you dislike anyone. Enjoyed the two wins over them last season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 On the rivalries, I think a fair few of us including myself, might get to see the strangest one side "rivalry" of them all if Coventry come up, the Leicester one is weird because none of us really care and they do but based on going to gigs there and seeing cov bands like the enemy them lot really are a bit special Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Not coming from the Midlands I wasn't even aware of anything until I saw something about it on here. I mean, they're really just a nothing club to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 What games are you all looking forward to next season? Personally for one strange reason I'm looking forward to Huddersfield and should they be promoted gillingham . I'm also looking forward to the FA cup where we'd be a potential banana skin for someone like Middlesbrough or Derby I'm looking forward to all of them personally. I'm looking forward to the next game, and the one after that, as though it were the first. I accept some people may feel differently. I think those people should cool off a bit. Maybe take the rest of the season off. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coventrys hatred of us is so one sided it crazy, I get the feeling they aren't far off what blues fans think of us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Relegating them in 2001 was a very funny day indeed...shame it's gone near enough full circle as they look likely to be promoted to the championship so we'll probably be playing them next season...no doubt that mug with the banner "we'll be back" will be there, yes mate but I'm sure you meant the prem.

Maybe take the rest of the season off. I took the first year of Lambert off to recover after ginger bollocks, I think if we had stayed up I'd be saying the same about next season, step back and get the itch back rather than the chore that it currently feels like I think the championship will bring a huge amount of intrigue in me, genuinely more interested in what the crack is than I have been in years of PL football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
