JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Sylla says it's not on. Close the thread! Quote Exclusive | Yacouba Sylla: “I still follow Aston Villa every weekend.” Your old club, Aston Villa, are sinking further and further since their catastrophic year last season. Why have they disintegrated so much? Personally, I follow Villa every weekend, because I still have colleagues who play there. I would not say that it is a club that is sinking, because it was bought not long ago, and you still have the passion of their supporters there. We all know their supporters – it is magical at Villa Park that the fans are always there for the team, even in the Championship. I think that they will easily stay up in the Championship, and since it is a transitional season they will have had the time to rebuild to be able to hope to re-join the Premier League, because it is one of the most decorated clubs in England with Manchester United, and one that had never been relegated. I do not think they are sinking, it is a club in transition. After that, to go from the Premier League to the Championship is quite hard, because it is a relatively difficult league – I think it is the hardest second division in Europe. They play a lot of matches, and many players who are used to the Premier League have to adapt to a style of play that is completely different. It is hard, just ask Wolves and all the clubs who have also gone down. The Championship is no fun, it is a very hard league. I have friends who play there every weekend, and it is difficult but full of passion. Teams who go down from the Premier League will not automatically go up after the season they play in the Championship. http://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2017/exclusive-yacouba-sylla-i-still-follow-aston-villa-every-weekend/ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's done ok for himself to be fair, playing at a mid table Ligue Uuuuughn side. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the previous 21 points available to that date, we managed to get 1 solitary draw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackbauer24 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Mathematically we can no longer be relegated, just for the record 18 points from relegation places, 11 from promotion places. I will still be happy with a result that leaves us closer to the top than the bottom, said that before season began. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Doesn't this thread need to go to the trash bin now? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted April 11, 2017 Moderator Share Posted April 11, 2017 No, because you could still have a discussion about how close; or otherwise; we came. It's still a topic that can be talked about even though the outcome is no longer possible, short of points deductions I never get the fascination with wanting any threads locked.

Godders Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Nah close it as a symbolic gesture, an acceptance that we're turning the corner. We've had relegation threads for so many seasons now, binning this one off could be like the metaphorical Phoenix rising from the ashes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
