Without Wolves in the division, Villa would've been promoted imo. Would've been Cardiff, Fulham and Villa. Bit unlucky with the timing.

 

Should have done it season before with us. No excuses with the squad they had when you see it was Huddersfield who were one of the teams up.

 

Di Matteo was their manager until October like. They didn't even make it to the play offs to be able to go up instead of Huddersfield. IIRC Huddersfield were the most deserving of going up in the play offs as well. Either them or Fulham. 

 

Bruce has been at Villa long enough now to have made more progress than he has. Even looking in as an outsider I wasn't convinced he was getting them anywhere, they always seem to be struggling to get near the automatic promotion spots.

No doubt. I was just talking about 16/17 really.

He got them to the play off final and they lost to a better team. A team that we’re also better than them the previous year.

 

Bruce is a decent Champo Manager.  4 promotions is it?

Really hope Pochettino goes to Real Madrid, could see him taking Kane for mega money next summer. I want to see Spurs crash and burn.

 

Would Rafa be a Spurs target if this happens ?

I don’t think so. Would it really be bad if he took it anyway?

 

Absolutly not I'm in full crash and burn mode now in any case, I remember sitting in a the Wooky Hollow bar in Benidorm when we went down at Villa and I was gutted, I now welcome our Championship overlords.

Few would argue that we`re at the right level at the moment

I ended up getting a free ticket off my pal, and watched Leeds/Ipswich game other night.

 

Ipswich were AWFUL. So bad, was shocked tbh. Their sole tactic was their right back smashing it long into the channels.

 

They had nothing about them at all, not surprised Hurst been sacked. Woeful team.

They just need to play us to get some confidence back tbh
