Stethegeez Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 what a sad state of affairs when Villa players are no longer thought of as stars :-( Well stars to those who aren't Villa fans, i should really have said the top teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drat01 Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 I know Ste - not a dig at you - its just that I can remember the times when Villa players were amongst those that people (none Villa fans) would go and watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get over it, we've never been a footballing giant, just the odd victories here & there. We are the most forgettable european champions in England & we're not considered a big club by the media.

We are the most forgettable european champions in England & we're not considered a big club by the media. ........... well not at the moment, now but this is the same media who write long platitudes about Spurs being amazing - and they aren't so the reliability of some london idiots in the press is irrelevant. If you don't consider winning leagues and a European Cup and several trophies the mark of a big club then fine have it your way. Most forgettable? Are you addicted to being pessimistic and looking down all the time? How about wanting the club to repeat it's past glories? how about wanting a club with a stadium and fanbase like ours pushing on and challenging the top sides for honours? We have the base, but absolutely no hope or investment at the top. Cash has got Newcastle and Leeds into Europe ( even bother replying about Leeds financial situation, and I'll rip your tits off ) Jesus **** christ. Are you Ellis' lovechild or something?

League winners, european champions. You are now proving that your only reason to come on here is to wind people up, why dont you get back to keeprighton or wherever you usually lurk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get over it, we've never been a footballing giant, just the odd victories here & there. We are the most forgettable european champions in England & we're not considered a big club by the media. Apart from the successes mentioned above how about 2 league cups in the 90's? Prem League runners up in the first season of the PL? Top 4 finish under Little? Good runs in Europe? Regular victories over the likes of Liverplop and Manure? I won't mention where Cheslea used to be? We often had the biggest gates/attendances in the PL in its first few seasons. I suppose you don't consider Nott Forest a big club now? Forgotten by the media but a one-time European Giant, some would say a sleeping giant. Just because the majority of bluenoses don't think of us as a big club doesn't mean you have to join them, or maybe you are better off like that?

Rodders Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 So are you going back on the statement we're not a big club? PS how did we build on that success compared to clubs like Liverplop Arsenal and Chelsea who were all around us at that time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, not played into your hands, I was talking about the successes we have enjoyed not so long ago, no mention of Ellis, just replying to your statement that we aren't a big club. You are a nose and everyone knows it, you are also Ellis' mate, two noses together, giving it the 'I am'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuanPabloAngel Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 In case you're forgetting, I'm the most optimistic poster on here. Bluenose my arse.

pablopicasso Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 says the person who ignores all the issues and claims that everything is all lollipop trees and candyfloss grass at villapark... the simple fact is, WE are supporting the clubs long term interests by highlighting the issues that need addressing... and dont forget, we are dipping into our own pockets to give money to the club.....
