The Aston Villa Thread

[Nymzee]

What angers me is clubs like Villa have been down and come back up, moving up gears while we plod along the way we always do.

If Tottenham go down they'll come back and do the same. I wish someone would shake our club up I really do.

I mean I’d rather not get relegated myself like for the chance of a rebirth. You could name big sides who went down and never recovered.

Emery has won the Europa League 5 times and with three separate clubs. But they all have Villa in the name

Living proof that a great coach and a cohesive plan can still massively pay off in this sport. Two Champions League qualifications and now a European pot since Emery rocked up there after struggling badly with Stevie f'in G...

Aston Villa absolutely put Everton Football Club to shame in pretty much every respect.

Not my point at all.

It's where they've been and in that time good old Everton haven’t done anything we plod along just existing, doing nothing.

All day.

Seeing Newcastle win a pot last year, then Spurs and Palace... Now Villa.

Trophies are becoming accessible and were happy with being crap. Proper winds me up.

Footy is a simple game. If your manager is a winner you win stuff

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Of course, in time he'd have won more than just at Anfield.

I long wanted Emery, even when people were taking the piss after his spell at Arsenal because he was quite clearly a winner.



How many times, and how many clubs has he won trophies at now?

Often Monchi was given the credit. Hes not at Villa.

So did I. Imagine the potential sliding doors moment the club could've had had we convinced him to join instead of Koeman nearly 10 years ago...

Well done Villa

About as easy a win as you'll ever get in a final

Unless your playing Spurs in the champions league

...or unless you're literally PSG last season

I’d argue our ever present PL status is a far more impressive feat than West Ham’s tinpot conference league or palaces fa cup win, even Newcastle’s league cup and champions league appearances.

People also forget that the goal line technology failure basically saved villa from getting relegated

They could be where Leicester city and Luton are now if that hadn’t occurred

Doing nothing? We have just won the Consolidation Cup this year and have not looked like getting relegated.
All hail the Moysieh the king of mediocrity.

Not having goal line technology saved our bacon back in 97-98 season. Bolton had a goal not awarded against us that would have seen them stay up and us go down, and the state we were in back then we may never have come back up.

 

[Clarky cat]

Chucking one in against Spurs was a good move after all. Another European trophy for Villa, good luck to them.

Don’t think it existed back then mate
