The Fun Factory Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) It took 71 years between Villa's 6th and 7th league titles. Might be a simliar length again, providing the premier league does not collapse on itself becoming the qatar world stanley cup superbowl series or something. To be honest Villa do well to be called a big club really when we have won 1 league title in 100 years and 1 FA Cup in about 90 years!

Rovers13 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I know this thread is kinda a joke, but Villa do have the most potential tp go on a run like Real Sociedad did last year of any prem team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raver50032 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) Well, if we have any ambition of winning the league, I think we need to be going to places like the KC stadium and getting all 3 points. That said, we're still in it... It just doesn't work like that though. I remember us losing to Brighton away, who only just avoided relegation, the season we won the League. Yes, I get what you are saying... but the likes of Chelsea, Citeh and Arsenal are not going to be thinking that coming away from the KC with a dullard's point will help them win the league... Likewise, I doubt very much that at the end of 'match day 1' this season, Arsenal fans who totally wrote themselves off and demanded the manager's head (from what I saw anyway on TV) after losing to 'little old Veelahh' really believed when they woke up that day that they were going to lose... Not in a million years, I bet... Maybe they did lol? And Citeh probably expected more from their visit to Villa Park. Let's not kid ourselves though - team spirit more than ability, and a little bit of luck did get us through that Citeh game. It was a great moment, and I loved it... But then I look at the Liverpool game, and the Newcastle game and... well, when we lose at home to both of those, we need to be winning at Hull if you want to stay in the title race - long term... The odd 'freak' result will not totally derail a team's campaign... But look at the teams we have lost to, and look at the number of good performances... and when I say performances, I mean, match winning performances. Yes, we've had some veyr tough fixtures and we're better off than I had predicted on fixture release day. Great stuff. I do worry about our performances, especially at home. But, we're still in it, that's all that matters :-) Edited October 15, 2013 by Raver50032 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At home yes? 10 wins in 40 odd games is hardly a banker is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electric Avenue Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Spurs are away from us now. We blew our chance to go above them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdulaziz1 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Spurs are away from us now. We blew our chance to go above them. If , And that's a big if .. We could up our game and do something as we did in the end of last season with winnable games we could have a good chance climbing the table .. It's a must win against Everton now ! Win that and it will give us a good boost with less pressure in the next couple of games ! C'mon Villa ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciggiesnbeer Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 9 points off top now. But still, all of the teams up there have shown they are capable of a wobble. We can get up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mammoth10 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Mathematically you'd have to say 2nd is the best we can hope for now No chance, we can still hit 73 points, will that be enough, I don't know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa-revolution Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Let's be totally honest here - after yesterday's 20 minute goal blitz - the top 4 are getting extremely nervous. Don't forget too that we still have Man City & Chelsea in 6 pointers to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentVilla Posted March 3, 2014 Moderator Share Posted March 3, 2014 Not sure I've ever seen this thread before. Enjoyable lunacy from start to end. We've kept it on the low down, much like Jose we were eager to avoid the pressure of being billed as contenders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Would like to see liverpool win it to be honest but I reckon they will just fall short. Chelsea just to nick it from the jaws of city Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
