They've already said there was no way they were ever going to have an open bus tour for being promoted via finishing essentially 3rd and that the only time a club like Aston Villa should consider such things would be when they win actual trophies. It would be a weird about face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say that's a bad analogy I would say it would be more like parading the cheap hooker you hired in that embarrassing period you had on your stag doo where your "mate" (Tony) spiked your drink with some kind of drugs and you went on a crazy mad rampage which seemed to last for 3 years. You bring in the hooker admit what went on between you, even the bit with the ketchup bottle, and break down in tears at your new wife's feet begging her to still take you as her husband, sobbing on your knees outstretched arms with palms of hands uplifted to her imploring, wishing to god that whole episode had never happened and wondering what the hell you were thinking when you invited the hooker to the wedding when you could have just forgotten the whole episode ever happened. Although you will of course think on that night from time to time and get a little hot under the collar. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think they're involved with a lot of the negotiation for the whole season. That's how you end up with DERBY DAY or TOP 4 CLASH where favourable tv fixtures all fall on the same weekend.

I'm literally just telling you what they said in Purslow and Deano's sit down after the final. It's on the club's YouTube channel if you want to check it out. They were pretty adamant that the moment has gone, celebrations done, we crack on. It would be strange if they went from that to parading the trophy around the pitch before our first Premier League game. IMO. I've no idea what the last line is about. For the record in case anyone thinks I'm a fan as you've alluded to, if Trump was our chairman I'd stage a dirty protest in the Holte End.

Because it’s not a real trophy, it was only implemented some years after the introduction of the playoffs to make it feel more of an occasion for all concerned. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weve just got promoted, seem to have good owners, a good manager. Making sensible signings.... I just miss the VT of old. I kinda wish we would give hogan and micah new contracts so we have something to rage about. On topic, make hay while the sunshines, one last hurrah with the trophy....then the grind begins.

We did the thing where we won the thing, we sang the song, it's done. Personally I'll be happy if I never see another of those championships what they have these days again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each team get a 10 day break, just over different weekends. So 5 games one weekend 5 games the other I think. FA cup 5th round will now be midweek.

robby b Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 (edited) For our opening game I want 3-0 to us at home to Man United, nice. And then Alan Hansen can come out of retirement and say "you can't win anything with kids". Only this time I hope they won't win the league! :s Edited June 12, 2019 by robby b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
