[Albion] I would love it if Aston Villa......................... ...........

[el punal]

got a feeling they will do a wolves this season depending how quickly all their new players take to bed in.

Or a Fulham.

 

[Marshy]

Couldn't care less about villa tbh, just look after ourselves and we will be ok.

 

[Two Professors]

....draw us in the FA Cup and get roundly thrashed.

 

[LowKarate]

They have a good manager.

I think they’ll do enough to survive in the lower half of the table.

I used to admire Villa, with their heritage and huge support/stadium, but the way their fans celebrated (I was in the home end) denying us the championship title a couple of years ago makes me want this season to be a complete balls up for them

I love Villa Park, I don’t mind Villa as a team, but their fans come across as the most miserable bunch of tossers I’ve experienced in ages. When we played them in the Cup back 2010 Villa were in the semi-finals of the League Cup, were in the top six in the PL, and riding high under Martin O’Neill. Chatting to a group of them you’d think they’d just been relegated - they were just so bloody negative about everything to do with Villa. At the time Randy Lerner was pouring stacks of dosh into the club and he even bought the fans a pub close to Villa Park as a supporters club venue. Ungrateful or what.

 

[Simster]

Wolves walked the Championship with a team of players who had or were capable of playing Champions League before they added to it over the summer. Villa in contrast, scraped through the play offs and have bought players who are largely unproven in the PL and would certainly appear to be overpriced. They are bottom 6 material.

What?

Who doesn't think Tyrone Mings - a players not good enough to get near the PLB starting XI - is worth £20m? Absolute BARGAIN.

 

[Official Old Man]

..........sold beer in the away concourse and cleaned the toilets before we arrive.

 

[phoenix]

Lose their first 5 games. All i hear all the time is their fans harping on that they will finish top 10.

Is it ok if i don't give a f*ck about Aston Villa. Why are people so obsessed with them ?

 

[Medwayseagull]

I know a Villa fan well, the 'we are a big club' was boosted with the new £zillions. Hopefully, as I sense, it hasn't been spent too well.

Fulham Mk II hopefully.

Do you move in royal circles by any chance ?

 

[Is it PotG?]

Do you move in royal circles by any chance ?

Alas no, and it certainly isn't that scruffy bloke on the fiddle.

..........sold beer in the away concourse and cleaned the toilets before we arrive.

Couldn't believe it.

Deadly Doug would have been turning over in his grave.

 

[Ludensian Gull]

This.

This

 

[Silverhatch]

Brilliant ground and one of the great football clubs... but they will get a shock

 

[7oaksgull]

I would love it if Aston Villa.....finish below us but above Palace and Burnley

 

[Durlston]

Judas Jota walking out on Birmingham was bad enough but crossing the road to go to Scum was unforgivable.

They'll draw each other in one of the cups. The hatred up there is one of the fiercest derbies in Britain.

I cannot wait for the 2nd of November....."sh!t on the Villa, sh!t on the Villa tonight, Sh!t. On. The. Villa! Everybody sh!t on the Villa, cos they're a load of sh!te!"

Sorry, getting carried away there.

 

[El Turi]

Are any of the players they’ve signed actually any good? Looking through the list, I think a lot of them will struggle at this level. They’ll have to rely on Grealish to keep them up I think.

 

[scouse23]

4 to go.

 

[Mellotron]

No matter what Jack Grealish does with his hair, it looks really, really, really stupid.

That's all I have to add re: Aston Villa at this time.

 

[Barham's tash]

Their performance v Spurs was EXACTLY as i expected.

Give ball to Grealish, watch him get tackled. Repeat to fade.

I thought they reminded me of us against the big six in lacking much ambition beyond a truly hopeful play/punt (like their goal). Which bodes well for them struggling over the 38 games.

McGinn looks decent
