Doubt that there's anything you could say to add to the woes, 923. It's only football (but not as we know and love it) and it's only words.

Brentford are doing well, I see. Bilic had better buck his ideas up, you lot don't like a Play-Off, do you?

With Pride, The future King of England supports Aston Villa.

I remember 2 years ago, he went to Newcastle and they gave him a Newcastle strip for his son....hhmm, he gave it to his aide said "I don't think so" it was left on the table when he left 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

How the Lilliputian Theo Walcott gets a free header in is beyond me ! Targett was totally oblivious to the bearded dwarfs whereabouts

I seriously doubt if anyone could make a player out of El Ghazi & Trezeguet combined



Looks like I picked the wrong day to give up alcohol eh?

[westcountryvillain]

No you didn't Freer - alcohol is a depressant and who needs that when you support Villa

You're not wrong at all Freer.

Even as an Albion fan when you hear Walcott has scored with a far post header you naturally presume he's playing in a charity match and being marked at the far post by the little fella out of the TV show from the 70's "Fantasy Island" ( "BOSS...the plane, the plane - Herve Villachaise if I remember correctly ) and that Wee Krankie is in goal.

I believe you spent £140m pre season?

It's hard to believe it's possible to spend that amount so badly but whoever owns you you seem to specialise in this mass cluster f u c k stockpiling of dross time after time with just the odd exception like McGinn.

I presume you're anticipating losing him and Mings and the fairy on the bubble this summer?

Yet another rebuild on the horizon.........will they trust Smith to throw a few more gallons of s h I t on the blanket to see what sticks or will they go for an exciting young manager like Ainsworth or the chap at Brentford?

I expect we shall see you next season!

mickd,

Out of the blue last term Villa managed to gain promotion, though in all honesty following the cull of our aged players we needed longer in the Championship for a consolidation/intelligent plan of action

Our panicky recruitment drive of unknown & inexperienced players, meant it was always going to be an extremely tough ask in the Premier League

As for the spending, the transfer market is crackers where ordinary players that require 3 touches to control a ball are valued @ north of £20 million

Our recruitment focused/prioritised chiefly on Quantity over Quality, proving you cant shoe in an agglomeration of players to piece together a successful team



Anyway we can “watch & see” how its done when W B A sweep all before them next term eh ?

Freer there's a problem with your prediction. I think the baggies have blown their chances of automatic. Brentford have a better run in and are on quite a run. The baggies have drawn too many matches and with all their crowing on here over the season, I am deeply saddened by this.

Villa might have been ****e this season but its still a better performance than in 2016. There's glimmers of hope with the likes of Konsa and Luiz and I think even Wesley was more important than we realised til the Knee Distroyer of Burnley hacked him down.

Next season will be one of change again, but I think we should revert back to the original 5 year plan. We are financially stable now and have a good spine of players who will be allowed to be on the ball when Jack goes to united.

Newcastle are about to be bought by Saudi Arabia and whether that will be a false dawn or whether there will be tears of joy on the Tyne, who knows. I'm sure the Geordies will keep us abreast of all their coming achievements and I'm sure the baggies supporters on here will be just as gracious as ever if we are in the same league next season. They won't flood the board with gloating when we are relegated and they mess up their promotion.
