Only joking but does anyone still think this way?

I don't know...
The pros of being in the championship is that the games come thick and fast and you always feel you can win every game. But the quality of the football itself if quite poor. But the kudos of being a top team in the country in the top flight and the possibility of taking scalps like man City is a big pro.
It's nice to be back of MOTD too
Totally agree with Sam. The Championship gave me VFM, excitement, and re-energised my love for The Villa. A bit like a dirty weekend away/holiday with one's partner. A period of time away from the grindstone, if you like.
Well, we couldn’t stay away forever. We have new bosses now, so it’s back to the hard work and the ‘nitty-gritty’ of keeping our heads above water.
With a bit of DIY and restoration/renovation work replacing any future vacations.
I think a bit like only fools and horses, winning the jackot ruined them and the show. It was always better striving to the ultimate goal. We were desperate, lost our way, failed at Wembley but kept going, we got our reward, Happy? Well, were never going to win the premier league are we!
Loved the championship but would rather be where we are now than having to share the league with the peaky blinders and the unwashed from smethick!!! Both sh it holes.
Liked the old school feel of the Championship, playing twice a week and becoming a better side under DS - key moments were losing at Wembley and Whelan's penalty miss vs Preston along with Jack's return from injury. We could so easily have become the next Leeds had we not gone up and Derby did us a massive favour in the semis as I didn't fancy our chances against them.
Loving the football in the Prem, think we will get better at managing games and maybe another striker in January needed depending on where we're at.
Agree with all of the above but will always be remembered for the 10 on the spin, that win away at Rotherham after being 1 down a man down and a missed penalty! Oh and lets not forget the future king of England jumping for joy at wembley with big John Carew......
Sod the Championship. We nearly did a Leeds!
Why start the thread then?
