That's a bit harsh. If any non-entitled club (and we all know who they are) and their fans do well I don't think it's unrealistic to have heightened expectations and we're no different to that

Bit of weird bald Mitrovich going on there

He doesn't get the s*** he deserves, he set us back massively by trying to build his own team because he didn't want Keegan to get any credit if we'd won something. Totally agree, he dismantled a great f***ing side so he could give his bindipper buddies one last payday. His only redeeming thing was the 35m he spent on Carroll. We went from being the entertainers to dads f***ing army in a matter of months because of this guy. Never forgive, never forget. There is the argument that we needed to rein in spending due to moving to a Plc at the time, which tbf I think was partly accurate and something SJH made a lot of money from and escaped with not much criticism. Having said that, bringing in dads army and some shocking lower league players exposed Dalglish's bad judgement which was pretty much compounded by the mess he made at Celtic.

Interesting that's it Beardsleys son who you need to email. Jobs for the boys.

Fuck me agree with this cockend

Bunch of cunts

Hope some of them connected with that gollum cunts bedsheet head

:thup:

They've got a manager who knows how to scrap points with s*** players. I knew he'd never take them down. He's too good at what he does. Defoe, too. Proven quality at PL level. People might want to remember that next time we're linked to someone who's scored 1 in 2 against Sunday League footballers in some tinpot European league and the place goes apeshit. so tedious. There's really no need to be a self-righteous douchebag right now. He can't help being a complete cock

As much as you generally seem decent the rest seem to be an absolute bunch of cunts, I really hope you lot disappear without a trace.

How wijaldnum is still on the pitch......

Fucking disgraceful this beach ball shit

Just watching these fuckers, hope we tear them apart arseholes

Merse reckons that Villa are a bigger club than we are. Does that actually mean anything? Him not you

Imagine them being relegated by us scoring a winner via a deflection off a beachball. Big slices of karma right there, would be beautiful. Was Rafa the Liverpool manager when that happened ? I might be wrong but from memory it wa James who was in goal when that happened, Dudek was there when Benitez arrived. Pretty sure it was Reina in goal for that. Yeah it was Reina, just checked. It was only in 2009 don't know what I was thinking

It wasn't bitterness, it was schadenfreude. It's all part of football. The time to worry is when you go down and nobody bats a f***ing eyelid. People go on about 'the banners' but they're talking about two banners which could have been brought by one person for all we know. It's not like we were all riding around the city centre, sat on top of our cars, bibbing our horns and waving flags at 3am in the morning because you'd got relegated. Anyway, we know what it's like now - we've been slowly tortured to death in front of the entire world for one entire season now. We have had loads of p*ss take and media coverage about it and to be honest, it just makes me feel better - that us getting relegated is still 'a story'. Unlike pointless yoyo clubs like Albion or Norwich, up and down so often people forget where they are from one year to the next. This fixture is a great opportunity for you lot to take the p*ss back, and we're going to have to suck it up. The only problem is: 1. Your current league position which may render p*ss taking inadvisable before the end of the match. 2. The fact that that banner posted here is proper s****. Tbh Brummie, it was worse than you probably saw, although granted "bitter" is probably the wrong word to describe it. I've been to numerous away grounds down the years and never experienced the amount of abuse, threats of violence, w*****s taking their turn to get in my face and eyeball me etc as on the train from aston to new st that day. Loads even followed us onto our platform to wring every last bit of p*ss-taking they could out of the day. That is not banter, it's really really odd behaviour. Heard stories from more than one group of fans I see regularly that villa fans were driving up the motorway taunting coaches by waving flags and beeping horns. The banners and singing in stadium were fine and all part of the crack imo but it was after, outside that a large majority (but I would stress not all) of villa fans just seemed to collectively turn into a pack of rabid zombies. That said, it was SEVEN f***ing years ago. That people still seem to be genuinely upset baffles me, and as for the banners in this thread well, Jesus f***ing wept!! Personally, I'd turn up and not even mention the whole thing- as Brummie has alluded to, no-one likes being ignored or feeling unimportant. I resent that the whole Villa thing has basically become part of our culture as a fanbase now. I hate that every time we play Villa the same articles surface in the mag and true faith. It just comes across as very bitter and we used to be bigger and better than that. Those banners were designed to get a rise out of us- 7 years later we're still biting, you couldn't make it up. It's a massive game for NUFC on Saturday, all efforts should go into supporting the manager and the team. And as for the opposition, f*** giving them the attention they want. Aston who?? Totally agree with this - 99% of the ones I encountered pre and post match acted like utter c***s that day! It's just a shame we weren't safe so could fully take the p*ss on Saturday! I really hope there are no banners on show from our lot mind! This, I hope we bury the fuckers 6-0 and it just about keeps us up.

Well what else are they going to put where there is a population of window lickers?

It is and it isn’t. It’s definitely reasonable to suggest that the playing field has been levelled somewhat, and that the money that the clubs owned by oligarchs/sheikhs have access to is becoming subject to diminishing returns – most PL clubs could now afford almost any player in Europe, bar a select few, many of whom are either already quite happy at Real/Barca/Bayern, or would prefer to go there given the choice anyway. That doesn’t explain Leicester though, whose starting XI cost, in modern PL terms, an absolute pittance. My view is that the money the richest clubs have splurged over the last few years has become a bit of a hindrance. Building a balanced team probably seems like a bit too much effort when you can just buy an expensive superstar to replace whichever expensive superstar isn’t performing, and that’ll usually work 95% of the time, at least domestically. ‘High transfer fees/wage bills = success’ is the formula that top level English football has been hanging its hat on for a while now, and even when better, cheaper teams spring up around Europe, closing the gap tactically instead of financially (Atleti, Dortmund), the rich PL clubs have shut their eyes and said “no problem, we’ll just spend more again”. Eventually though, you just end up with several groups of really good individuals, incredibly inconsistent as collectives, and they’ve all been sucker punched this year by a ragtag group of players who have stuck together for several years, with a few gradually introduced additions, and just become a bloody good team. I think the Leicester players would be well-advised to stay where they are and see what happens next season – I don’t see any of them going elsewhere and bettering themselves individually, as a group they’re the greatest example of “more than the sum of their parts” that I’ve ever seen in football. Very well summed up Completely agree and that's what I was trying to get at with my post earlier about egos. It will be interesting to see how Ranieri handles next season, but I've no doubt there will be divisions within the team. 'Team of individuals' would very well describe the likes of Man U, Chelsea and Man City. The complete opposite of Leicester.

Is it reasonable to suggest that FFP combined with greater TV income could be levelling things out a bit?

Can't see any way they'll fail on that, probably significantly higher. Can see them adding 2-3 genuine class players to the first team and strengthening the squad. Don't see Vardy and Mahrez being in a rush to leave really. It's not all about that though is it? Depends on which players develop big egos and how who they sign fit in. This season has been about good players believing in themselves as a team, if they pull off a decent result next season it will be impressive.

Don't know if its the Mail's dodgy reporting but that's fucking insane and it looks worse when you read the sentences above and below it.

f*** off prick, have a bit of respect For a 40-year-old you probably spend too much time calling people names on the internet, like. Just selective, you're a complete nob without a doubt and if I was wrong on the other then fair enough
