Celebrate all you won't but I wouldn't. But too each their own. To fall away in the race for the title does not feel like success. I can remember how it felt both times I. The early nineties. when we fell away in the battle against Liverpool there seemed to be an overwhelming sense of pride from the fan base. In the race against Utd it felt a little disappointing as I remember kind of like a numb feeling that we had genuinely lost something within our grasp. We did celebrate the 1990 team at Goodson on one of the Great Villa away days! I think there was a great day out a QPR after the 1993 team fell away. I guess the point I’m making is while losing is definitely not something to celebrate you have to put things into context and appreciate good seasons as we know they don’t come round often. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aim of supporting a team as a fan? To enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm enjoying every match under Unai. Celebrate though is reserved to when we win things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I wonder how long it will take them to rack up 100+ breaches of FFP like City has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono62 Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Hope the winners of the playoffs don't celebrate winning a loser trophy and if they don't win the league next season, they should be disappointed. Wonder how many of the Newcastle team that got them to Europe will be there next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not just make it a nice round £100m a year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono62 Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Super legit when you consider the owner of Sela is someone called Dr. Rakan Al-Aarthy. He is also on the board of directors for a company called Qiddiya. You'll never guess who else is on the board of directors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 No one ever think either, is it really worth 30m a year to have a shirt sponsor which will mostly be seen in the UK for a Saudi company no one has ever heard of or with bother with.
