TheSufferingVilla Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I'm a happy Villa fan for the most part I'm just a little disillusioned, I always thought Villa fans were reasonably smart compared to the fans of other clubs but many of the comments on here the last few days have convinced me that a small but vocal minority are as thick as pigshit but then again since Blues have been relegated once agin perhaps it's some of their unwashed support switching sides. Dissapointing if true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa84 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 im a bored fan at the moment. Where has the transfer news gone again, its all gone funnily quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 im a bored fan at the moment. Where has the transfer news gone again, its all gone funnily quiet. I dunno why I bother.. I believe it was BCV that posted something interesting yesterday. I believe only 5 teams had bought more players than us, and only 3 had spent more money (Or something very similar). It's quite simply a myth that we don't do anything. On another note, I was looking in one of the papers earlier and they had a preview for each team and how they thought we'd do, they had the predictions like this: 1: Chelsea 2: United 3: Liverpool 4: Arsenal 5: Spurs 6: Villa 7: Everton 8: Man City So it seems the media doesn't think there's much of a problem, and they think MON will get it sorted, must just be a few fans on here that don't have faith on our boss then.

villa84 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 yeah thats it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 yeah thats it.... Yeah, the bookies are giving us lower odds than the likes of Pompey, Everton and the rest so they can throw away money.. I personally have no idea where Villa will finish, I think it'll be a very close season. But some people on here seem very confident that the likes of Spurs, Everton, Pompey and Man City will finish above us. Put your money where your mouth is I say.

Jon Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Oooooohhh! how close. My vote has just tipped it 51% "Yes". Taking EVERYTHING into account, and not just summer transfer activity/inactivity, then Yes, I am a pretty happy bunny. We have a great owner, a great manager, some great players, and are in 'Yurp for the first time in a good while. so, plenty to be happy about. Just be nice to sign one or two more decent players, that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul34 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 of course i am whats happened since dougs gone is incredable some of ya need ya heads seeing to just because the players are'nt pouring in your not happy to support the greatest club in the midlands shame on you all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 ... just because the players aren't pouring in you're not happy to support the greatest club in the midlands - shame on you all very wise words fella. IT matters not who we sign/don't sign. Results on the pitch matter, with the players we have, and MON has proved superb in that regard. I'm happy to back him to do that again ......

kingphil Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I've gone for NO - but can hopefully review at the end of August, when our 'quality' signings have been made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V111A Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Its a no from me.. I feel very worried for the new season - we were lucky last season with injuries and suspensions and with Barry going and Mellberg gone (also Boumas Injury)we are definatly weaker this season than last...

Just be nice to sign one or two more decent players, that's all.Well yes, but the title is are you happy 'at the moment', so I presumed that meant with the current dealings or lack their of. If the poll was 'are you proud to be a villa fan?' or 'are you happy with the way the club is being run at board room and management level?' it'd be 95+% of happy happy fans.

jackso55 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 IT matters not who we sign/don't sign. Results on the pitch matter, with the players we have, and MON has proved superb in that regard. Results on the pitch only happen with a better team than the opposition!! At the moment we are lacking a natural RB, RM, LB therefore this puts us at a disadvantage!!

I hope MON will get it sorted and I think he will but I don't think we can compare ourselves to other teams in termms of signings whether we have a lot of players or not. The fact is we have no recognised right back and no left back fit any time soon. It is what we need that counts . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a0230olly Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 wow looks like 50-50 although my last vote tipped it in favour of 'No' Just frustrated leading me not to be a "happy villa fan" (at the moment) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted August 4, 2008 VT Supporter Share Posted August 4, 2008 Wow, opinions really are split! Although i feel the thread should be "Are you a happy Villa fan concerning transfers?" as I would imagine this is why the majority of people who have voted no, have done so.

Hanky Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 After thinking about it, yes for me as we have a great board and the right manager in place. Although we need more players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although i feel the thread should be "Are you a happy Villa fan concerning transfers?" as I would imagine this is why the majority of people who have voted no, have done so. indeed. a totally different question, and one which would, at the moment, illicit a very different result, i would guess.

That means you include it, but it is not the only factor. so, i've included it in my thoughts, but have decided I am still happy for others, it seems to be an overriding factor.....
