I just feel if we genuinely want to be a top six side we need to start acting like one I have to disagree. Context is everything. Chelsea getting in the Champions League is not what we just went through this year (and for the last five years) by a long shot. How dour do you have to be to begrudge celebrating that. I think people can go too far with this macho posturing. The other option is to enjoy something positive. One step at a time and all that. If we're ever going to get where you want us to be, today was a massive step. Edited July 26, 2020 by Rolta 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KenjiOgiwara Posted July 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 26, 2020 I'm generally for the big club mentality, which is why the brummie loser talk always have annoyed me. But I can fully understand the guys celebrating. It's been a crazy season and for large parts of the season we have been awful, couldn't buy a win, struggled settling a new squad, had lots of dodgy VAR and general refereeing go against us. Then up to quite recently we looked dead and buried and we managed a come back. They will keep wages and colleagues and play at the biggest stage. I'd say that's okey to have a beer over. Keane is just playing up his persona of a tough cynical word removed. Ignore it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Laughable Chimp Posted July 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 26, 2020 **** hell, let the lads celebrate. We've just averted 200m pound disaster when it seemed like we were dead and buried. I may be in the minority here, but I don't think football is all about winning accolades. We're not a team that is at that level and dare I say, we might never become one for a long, long time. In the meantime, "minor" successes like this should be celebrated instead of looking down on such successes because we're constantly aiming for such high dreams. Its not as if survival is just some tinpot achievement after all, it has massive ramifications for the futur.e 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadridVilla Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Not having this debate on celebrating survival, absolute rubbish. Any team who survives or is promoted has as much right to celebrate as they like. These players have pulled off survival when at times within the last MONTH it looked like we were certainly down. They've also avoided a huge wage cut, a transfer they may have been forced into, or perhaps they're just happy they get to stay playing in the top flight. Not just that but the staff they deal with on a daily basis at BMH or the matchday staff at VP keep their jobs and I'm sure they will be celebrating for them as well.

Quite right - my pulse was off the record in those last 10 mins, no way it was different for anyone else - anyone schiestering about the confidence (other than those who set up a prem league 21 thread) can get to foook. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Everyone had written us off to go down. Christ even I and a lot of Villa fans had thought we were completely doomed at one point or another. We've pulled off some huge results and stayed up, who cares if its not 'big club mentality' or whatever, these boys should rightly celebrate and make the most of it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post sidcow Posted July 26, 2020 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted July 26, 2020 I can't believe people are questioning the celebrations? I'd be far more concerned if they just trudged off the pitch, got straight onto the bus in dignified silence and swanned off into the night. That would be plain weird. John Terry seemed quite happy with it Pepe Reina was the maddest of the lot and he's got a World Cup medal in his locker amongst pretty much everything else. Those guys are ultimate winners and felt it was something to celebrate. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 as people are complaining from other clubs (mainly blues and a certain Yorkshire club) the Nyland own goal wouldnt have relegated us either. We still would have finished about Bournemouth on goals scored 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 It still hasn’t sunk in. I just want to watch more and more post-match interviews and celebrations. I’m so excited for next season and the transfer speculation... but I think I need to curl up in the corner of a dark room and slowly rock back and forward for a few days, just to force the memories of VAR, Kevin Friend and losing twice to Bournemouth out of my brain. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
