sidcow Posted January 14, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted January 14, 2023 Their forums are very reminiscent of VT in the year we went down. Plenty saying it will be the reset they need. Will be nice to go into every match looking too win. Will be entertaining. Will be a pleasant change. We will be a giant down there. All very reminiscent. I wonder how many of those on here who wrote similar felt when they saw that looked in Xia's eyes after the Fulham defeat. There is no positive side to relegation. We were so so so lucky NSWE came along when they did because I fear if they didn't Villa would either not exist or be owned by a 2 bit chancer running us on a shoestring whilst we circled Championship relegation. NSWE types don't grow on trees. I would be surprised if another turned up for Everton if they were on the abyss, especially as they'd be stuck at Goodison by then too. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, being competitive is quite good fun. Certainly beats this life where every win is great and every non-win is **** awful. The players are good, and then no some are shit and we need to get rid. We can push for Europe but no we need a reset. And so on. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awful first season, just about stumbled into The Play Offs second season and only a quite astonishing 10 games in the 3rd season catapulted us from nowhere into The Play Offs third season. And we spent a bucket load to do that. Take out that 10 game run and it was actually a pretty miserable time, I think people forget. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're talking very specifically about Aston Villa, but most relegated clubs are immediately competitive in the Championship. Even with decent squad turnovers.

I know the prem is where its at but the championship was enjoyable like football from back in the day. Big away followings being the team that everyone wants to beat. No VAR no favouritism by refs. In many ways its loads better than the prem apart from the money. Each to their own I guess. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said it's all about money not the fans. That's why The Championship is a better league anyone of the teams can get promoted that's how it should be. Maybe it was my youth but every year growing up I thought Villa could win the league. That has long gone in the Prem years. Am I just old now or is The Prem the problem and football in general? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 (edited) Looking at the Everton squad I dont think is a player I would take if they went down. They are still starting Coleman a great servant but its time to move on from him Whatever happened to the Rangers right back that apparently Stevie Me developed yet we had no interest in signing Edited January 14, 2023 by Zatman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpTheVilla26 Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Just been reading their forum. There is a video of them setting up a road block, chasing Anthony Gordon in his motor, then verbally abusing him. For that alone, I hope they go down, might bring some of their fans back to reality because that sort of behaviour is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s making his point but he’s also in awe of the fact he’s got to speak to Mina hence the hand shaking like they are best buds at the end. If you were genuinely pissed you wouldn’t climb down like that and offer your hand out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Honestly it looks even more toxic there than it did when we were going down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with decent squad turnovers. Depends on the club. Burnley fans I imagine are enjoying this season compared to last five. A vibrant, younger team playing some brilliant football and they will surprise a few back in the prem next season. Newcastle also had a couple of title winning seasons so that gave their fanbase a bit more positivity coming up although of course we all know what their game changer was. However Sunderland getting relegated and then going down again the next season wasn't much fan and we'd have been on the same path in 2018 if the takeover hadn't happened. SHA used to say they loved the up and down nature of their existence so they're all really hurting inside that they're a complete non-entity at championship level now and even their relegation battles are pretty boring as they do just enough to cling on.
