villalad21 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Villa and Leeds replacing the little clubs like Bournemouth and Watford would just be better for the league. Yes it is harsh to look at it like that but you'd want the clubs with the biggest crowds. Best stadiums and biggest fanbase to remain in the Premier League.

Taking my Villa goggles off....my answer would be ‘No’. Teams in the league should be there by merit. Some of the most entertaining teams that have brightened up the league have been small like Wimbledon a few decades ago with Fash, Vinny Jones and Dennis Wise. The league is better when there is variety and upsets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may be true but to me it's a better spectacle to watch games that take place at great grounds like Elland Road and Villa Park with big and passionate crowds compared to Vitality Stadium.

Well this guy on a villa fan website discussing ‘relegation’ thinks that if we beat Arsenal and Bmouth lose to Man City with one game to go it’s a negative to our ‘relegation’ avoidance hopes....

I'm only assessing an unfortunate scenario. If Citeh smash Watford with 5-6 goasl or so it should be fine. Because i don't think they'll recover mentally from that. But remember that final game are only days before the Cup Final. Arsenal are more likely to rest players against Watford.

On TV or in the ground? Some of the best games I’ve been to and most enjoyable memories I have travelling around, following Villa have been at smaller grounds. The banter, atmosphere, the game has been phenomenal. The big grounds can be very soulless and quiet for long periods. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is, if there is a negative angle you always take it. The opposite might be that if lose to us they only have the Bmouth game To prove who should be selected for the FA Cup game and will go all out to prove they should be selected because Arteta does have a number of options and losing to us will be an embarrassment and players will want to prove themselves.

Can I ask...living in San Fran, have you been to many home and away games? It must be hard because I know when I lived in Sydney for that time I only got to about four games a season in the ground.

Against Watford... Honestly just have to hope that Man City crush them mentally and destroys their GD. Haha brilliant. Arsenal would absolutely love to send Deeney and Co down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that i look at the table i guess i was wrong this time. Didn't realize they were so far behind Spurs. We just have to hope that City crushes them mentally.
