5 years ago, about this time, Hoillett was preparing to miss hit the cross that sent us all home happy. Ah, memories...
Actually feel sorry for Derby. Very hard luck lads. Would hate it if that was us. Villa seem to believe (supported by many annoying pundits) that they are too big not to be in the PL, blah blah blah. Let's see how they do and whether FFP waiting if they come straight back down.
Tactically Derby got it wrong this time, Villa far better in first half and looked solid until Derby scored, then too little too late. Will be very difficult for them next season as they will be well into FFP territory unless they sell...
All of the players Derby borrowed will go back to their clubs and probably wont be back there next season. Will FLDC become FLC or will it be JTC....to be honest I don't care!! Villa too big to be in championship....really??? They were there for a reason...or rather 38 of them which and as they didn't win enough they got relegated. Simples. Whilst I am happy to see Dean Smith get his team promoted, how will they do when Abrahams goes back to Chelsea? Might be interesting to see if any previous financial issues will be re-addressed and appropriate penalties (when investigated thoroughly) imposed.
Well done to the original BFG promoted to the Bundesliga after Union Berlin beat Stuttgart on away goals in the Promotion/Relegation Play-Off...
