Not to 20 odd thousand they didn't. Even our reduced gates would have filled Villa Park every week. They've always had a very fickle fanbase. Extending beyond 50k for them would be very risky.

50k more than big enough for Villa. Traditionally they have a very fickle fanbase which would need to be taken into account. Just thinking back to when they got relegated the same season as us, whilst we sold out most weeks they instantly mothballed the entire top tier of one of their stands cos they knew demand would drop off a cliff, which it did. Also they haven't been always been filling 42k capacity Villa Park this season. They only got 37k at home to Brentford.

Us winning the Cup, qualifying for the Champions League, and Coventry dumping them out the Play offs. If Carlsberg did football seasons......

"Big players"

He's got all.the attributes. Still reckon Howe could turn him into a top class centre half.

Bet you're fun at parties

Many people thought it was funny. It certainly wasn't embarrassing. What's more embarrassing is getting upset about it. If you can't take the piss put of an annoying fanbase after you've spanked them 5-0 then what's the point. Did you whinge when we played Cheer up Steve Bruce after we battered the mackems 5-1 or was that OK with you?

People get upset about the weirdest of things these days like. These twats had banners out protesting our owners, the only fanbase who've done it and we've given a bit back there tonight after battering them. Just relax and enjoy it man

Absolutely superb trolling there mind hahaha

They'll be fucked anyway. If they do come up they'll have a very modest transfer budget thanks to PSR and all the accumulated loses they've made over the years, and most if that will be what they've got to pay for Le Fee. They'll be what Southampton are this season.

Noticed that but that didn't come close to accounting for the amount of empty seats near to the segregation banner, the opposite side next to the scoreboard, and also the entire length of the back of their section. No way was there any more than 2.5k in there, probably nearer 2k.

Couldn't believe the amount of empty spaces in their end yesterday. Don't remember ever seeing that before. Fair enough they've just had a midweek trip to France but that turnout for a club of their size was pitiful. Maybe 2.5k there at best, probably a bit less. Should move the segregation divide along next season to reduce their allocation and allow more home fans in.

Was one point yesterday on around the 85th minute mark, I looked up at the pretty empty Man Utd end, those who remained singing defiantly in support of their team, whilst the home fans, still basking in our recent trophy win, sat back waiting for the final whistle to sound on what was a very routine victory and it hit me how the roles of the 2 clubs have been totally reversed. Lost count of the amount of times I've been to Old Trafford, singing my heart out as the clocked ticked towards full time of another defeat there and yesterday that was them. We are the winners, they were the gallant losers making up the numbers. Only real difference is at least we tended to stay until the final whistle went.

I'm being serious here!

Wish they wouldn't give him these cameo roles. Like finishing the game a man down. He can't move.
