Probably the only time I'll feel sad about the current state will be the afternoon when relegation is actually confirmed as that's when reality will set in. I always dreaded relegation due to not being on motd etc. But honestly, I bet I've seen less than 10% of this season premiership games/goals/highlights so I suppose on that level Ive already dealt with that reality. In fact I can't think about much that I'd going to effect me from going down. Had it not been such a pathetic 5 year slog down there and had been a bit more out of the blue, it'd be different.

There is no argument to convince me we are anything other than an utter bag of shite. Yeah we might have the odd performance here n there but very rarely does it not coincide with the opposition being even worse. Palace n Norwich for example.

osmark86 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 This season my pashun ended right before xmas. Haven't bothered following our games as much since. This debacle that is our team has drained my love for the game in a way I'm not accustomed to. I'm sure it'll come back once I witness some actual positive signs with regards to our trajectory as a club from top to bottom. Right now it just seems futile and predictable. At least the championship will offer some mild form of novelty...for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 (edited) I live and work near Sheffield nowadays, I'm quite looking forward to some local away games. Although the way Wednesday are going we might swap places with them Edited February 14, 2016 by It's Your Round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In recent years, I remember feeling sick after games like the 1-0 defeat at home to Sunderland that put us in the bottom 3 under houllier, I remember looking at our fixtures after that game thinking we were relegated, losing to Bolton under mcleish feeling so depressed i thought we were gone, the 8-0 to Chelsea, 3-0 at home to Wigan, so many games lately have left me so angry and down like you I've become numb to the inevitable to the point today after 3-0 down I turned it off and cleaned the bathroom.

Haito Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I wish the season would end now. Watching Villa is a horrible experience. This team is nothing short of an embarrassment. Im yet to see a worse team in the final 3rd than us. We really are diabolical. Our build up play always involves going sideways, No midfielders make late runs into the box, our strikers off the ball movement is terrible & our crossing accuracy is woeful. I could go on and on. The club is in ruins on & off the pitch but its on the pitch everyone else has access to witness the car crash we have for a team and point & laugh which is the bit that truly hurts as a proud fan.

Marka Ragnos Posted February 14, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted February 14, 2016 (edited) I find myself oddly tired of and irritated by hearing varieties of this: "I'm sticking with Villa no matter what." Well, you go ahead. It's all crossed that fine line between being loyal and being thick. Edited February 14, 2016 by Marka Ragnos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think sticking with the club you support is "thick" then fine but please don't come back if ever things are good again.

For the record, I don't think sticking with your team during a relegation is "stupid". We're only going down to the second tier FFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mykeyb Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I have seen it all before and to be honest I just feel numb to it now. It's my son I feel sorry for his 16 and he hasn't seen a decent Villa team, when I was 17 I saw us win the league and the European Cup. If he is lucky he might see us win the Championship poor kid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
