What I think you’ll find now teams, are noticing you’re in form, teams won’t come to win at Villa Park they’ll come not to lose. You may say we aren’t blowing teams away so must mean we’re going to drop off, that’s not the case. It’s more that teams come to nick a point as they know if they opened up we’d blow them away. I imagine you’ll face the same until the end of the season. I feel we play better away as teams are expected to come out at us & we have more space We be ok. It's a crap set of fixtures but if w evoke out if those games near yet top three then I really do think we will will go on to secure promotion. Norwich are very lucky they are not coming to villa park until final game of the season as of we were to play them tomorrow I think we would smash them.

Just stated alot of those smaller clubs in this league have a inferiority complex against us, and from what i've seen on their forums it's true. We get hate for no reason, even Leeds fans are calling us "Vile" on their forum Whilst a do agree with the fact that other teams should have a inferiority complex about us.The fact is they don’t, they just hate the fact they we think they are inferior.... No one remembers our history, our top six finishes and our great teams except us. So they all think “who the **** are Villa they are nothing special” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 (edited) Still fear Stoke will be a threat when the season is wrapped up. wouldn't surprise me if they got one of the automatic spots tbh even if they are 12 points off atm. And in other news Swansea's Martin Olsson is out for the season with a ruptured Achilles tendon. Edited December 11, 2018 by sne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cjay Posted December 11, 2018 Visiting Supporter Share Posted December 11, 2018 I do like the view that derogatory terms mean a club is obsessed and inferior. We have our own thread on the English Champs forum full of insults Personally i like talking to opposition fans and i post more if the forums active (nothing more to it then that). Also spent plenty of time watching Leeds at Villa park sat amongst you so I'm an honorary Villain Villa is 1 game i look forward to tbh (not the only one) but its one of a select few, its a proper game, big crowds, big teams, big atmosphere. Surprisingly for all the praise Smith has gotten (rightfully so). The form over his 9 games is not much better then us and and this weekend could change it. Lose or draw vs Stoke if we beat Bolton then we then will have a better record then you under Smith vs the same teams. You played Norwich early and we had injury problems etc but excuses are whatever, points that matter. Looking forward to the game vs you, will be the half way point of the season, can look at the table after and think. More important for you to win imo, we could draw or even lose and it wouldn't define our season. You cant really afford to lose, a draw maybe but really need the win. Its exciting stuff.

He hasn't insulted anyone in particular or the club. He is more than welcome to air his opinions. Also this opinion was shared with Steve Bruce, Tony Xia, Roberto Di Matteo et al and it didnt get us as a club very far and its nice to have the modern day modesty to our club. The past is nice to have but the future is brighter. I proper cringe at some of the statements I see, and attitude towards other fans (unless they are being plebs on purpose) Seems there is no middle ground with some, either we are doomed forever, or we are going to destroy the League, beating everybody 17 - 0. Then try to belittle other clubs which in reality are currently above us... I don't understand how so many people can succumb to the billy big bollox attitude, so quickly, meanwhile in reality we are still 8th in the Championship. Even if we were top 2, or top 6, some humility and class could go a long way ffs. Edited December 11, 2018 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are the biggest club in England's second largest city, we as a club have such a bigger potential than any clubs in this league and it's what making other clubs obsessed with us. Hard pill to swallow, but I think it’s just West Midlands clubs that are obsessed with you, that’s the thing. You’re comfortably the biggest side in the region with an absolute classic of a football ground, you’r the logical team to envy. But beyond the West Midlands, you’re relatively insignificant. Now, forgive me if I sound arrogant, but Leeds United are a national obsession. Called scum and hated pretty much wherever we go. There’s a reason why you’ll hear ‘We all hate Leeds Scum’ at grounds up and down the country and not ‘We all hate Villa.’ Just Wolves, Birmingham, Coventry and West Brom who hate you lads, sorry Edited December 11, 2018 by LeedsFanJustVisiting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeedsFanJustVisiting Posted December 11, 2018 Visiting Supporter Share Posted December 11, 2018 (edited) Also pretty baffled by the confidence levels some of you have on here.

You wont find a Villa fan who would disagree with your assessment of our back line though. Your not going find any argument against it here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such disorganisation is not apparent at the likes of Leeds and Norwich We're all clinging on to the hope that we'll contain the damage done by january and that we are able to do some business in that period to sort this glaringly massive problem out. At the same time we're scoring for fun, so that might just be all we need right now. But you have got to see it from our perspective. We have endured years and years of absolute trite and uninspiring football (I realize the irony...) so we're just flying high on the Smith pill at the minute. Also, it's the heart speaking to some extend as it is a big ask, but not an impossible ask either. We're all just very optimistic fans right now and I, for one, am going to enjoy the hell out of it for as long as it lasts.

Such disorganisation is not apparent at the likes of Leeds and Norwich Sorry to be pedantic but it is 7 goals in 3 games actually ( includes 0-3 at Boro).The Forest game was just a freak and Albions 2nd should obviously of not counted. It may look from a distance that our defence is poor but that, going forward, will not be the case. Up till Smith took over we did look poor but Tuanzebe & Chester look to have established a good understanding and the full-backs have got much better. I am sure the defence ( 4 CLEAN SHEETS IN 8 ) will be no problem!! Edited December 11, 2018 by pintpotvilla 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand what your saying, but you have said that your top 8 fixtures are mainly at home and then later that Leeds prefer to play away as teams are expected to attack. Taking this into perspective you have tough games coming up against the top 8 at Elland Road. Where as Villa are at home but Villa Park is becoming our fortress. This team feels like we can play anyone at Villa Park now. Its going be any interesting conclusion to the season and there are going to be many twists and turns to come yet, for both of our teams. Either way Villa fans are liking football again which is the most important thing! I do prefer us playing away as we have more space but it doesn’t change the fact that we’re breaking teams down at home even when teams are sitting in their own half from the kick off. But we kept getting the wins But if you & the rest are chasing us, coming for a draw isn’t really what you need which will be play into our hands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The back is a problem, but you know as well as us that this will be sorted in a few games time. If we can keep up the current level of play we will be promoted!

The reality is we are 10 points behind 2nd. With a defense and keeper like this there is little hope in reaching the top 2 and i don't think the January window will just magically fix our defense.
