The first thing we did was give Lambert a new four year contract. We never recovered from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup Senderos and Vlaar looked rock solid in pre-season and in the 1st 4 games. Then he went and got injured training with Switzerland. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then he went and got injured training with Switzerland. I think they played him injured too. Also we're forgetting by rights we should have gone down the season before. We stayed up by a couple but got 12 very unlikely points by beating Arsenal, Liverpool and high flying Southampton away, and Chelsea at home. Normally you'd be looking at 1-2 point return from that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 (edited) So sky havw again decided to show all away games on sky for us. It's like they like to see us try and lose. We were away to Bolton, Yeovil, they have also chosen Blackburn, Norwich and now bristol city away on sky. With only brentford at home. It really pisses me off that they don't show games at villa park when they atmsophere at a rammed villa park should be on show for other clubs to see. The statistics for last two years have been ridiculous its like they want us to lose being away all the time. So biased.

You always get so hung up on what games Sky show, there isn't a conspiracy and it has no bearing on the result. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s probably more linked to viewing figures, and they know that more Villa fans will tune in for away games who can’t travel or get tickets. Probably the best supported club in the Championship, so will naturally be on TV more. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't seem to do the same with Leeds and other bigger clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As everyone has said its because they will get the best viewing figures BUT I also think they see us in the cups as a good bet for a good giant killing story (and they are right to) which the tellybox always likes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange post. The strange thing is claiming Sky have an agenda and enjoy us losing. Is that the whole of Sky, just a specific department or is it Scott Minto that has that particular agenda perhaps? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably just feel sorry for Lee Hendrie, so choose Villa games to keep him in work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
