Branston Pickle 3,661 Posted December 6, 2023 In truth, Citeh have been off the boil for a few weeks now - and had to come from 2-0 down at home in Europe last week, this result has been coming and Villa deserved it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Remember how our brainwashed fans (thankfully not so much any more) laughed at them spending money to actually try and build something and as they bought our best player. 12 months before that we were vastly superior to them.

duke63 542 Posted December 7, 2023 In the last 6 years the owners have 'invested' £500 million in share capital to keep the club solvent. And still not won anything. The utter madness of football. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rock bus 853 Posted December 7, 2023 Fair play to them, they’ve done brilliantly. Don’t enjoy saying that as living in the Midlands, have had to put up with lots of Villa fans going on about the past (they’re as bad as the binners!!) Also worth noting they have been much better without trying to shoehorn Buendia into the team……perhaps he might need a loan in January to build up his fitness,, performance and confidence!?!?

Didn't say that I approved, but when you win everything, there comes with it a level of expectation (entitlement) They continue to be proof positive, that money buys success.

Unai (****) Emery is proving to be a fantastic appointment with mostly the same squad and Emi not available. Apparently (D1ck) is not allowed... Edited December 8, 2023 by Capt.

Yes but there are also teams who spend money and still struggle - look at Forest - it’s all about whether the team clicks and the spirit is there which in Villa’s case it has - a bit like Ipswich at present who’s team have clicked and could well take them to Promotion without spending millions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canario 205 Posted December 8, 2023 4 hours ago, TheDarkKnight said: A visual representation that proves that vast amounts of money doesn't nnecessarily buy you quality. A player who Villa bought for £2.9m destroying the Manchester City midfielder. Impressive. Just like watching Julian Brellier 😉 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
