    before it came back I was a bit meh but to be honest I enjoyed the return of football

    games almost everyday bit was brilliant, there was a lack of intensity at the beginning but I thought it was picking up the more games that were being played.

    looking forward to next season

    As for Keane, ****ing easy for that **** to say you should only celebrate when you’ve won something. He played in a club side that literally won everything and never went near a relegation battle, he should therefore shut the **** up on that one.

    As Villa themselves thoughts they were as good as gone a few weeks back, and somehow they escaped, ultimately via the only known PL failure of Hawkeye. The jammy ****ing Brummie ****s. However, having somehow done it, only a completely humourless arsehole would begrudge them a celebration - come on down Roy, you sanctimonious ****e.

    You know what the cameraman chooses to show you.


    But you’re right. I probably prefer cricket nowadays. A gentleman’s game. Nowhere to hide on a cricket pitch.

    Agree with that. How many players get to win big trophies, not many. Roy’s employers at Sky to thank in part there. For the Villa players they won their immediate futures and their employer the club won big financially which seems to have become the main aim of football in the modern era

    Agreed. They all got to stay on the gravy train but I think it’d be churlish to suggest that they didn’t also feel a massive responsibility to their fans, who obvs desperately wanted them to survive as a PL club.

    I’m going to have a wager on Dean Smith being sacked anyway btw. That’ll be his reward, just watch.

    Hopefully not. His boyhood club, they were in the **** and he had to buy a lot of players. He may be able to settle them down now. Depends how their fans view the progress of the club. Southampton are an example of sticking with the manager and look how that has paid off, fantastic club.
    I get this is hypocritical as I want Rodgers gone but that if because of him as a person, his ego and blaming everyone but himself. Not the league position.

    The fans won’t have any say mate, the owners have lobbed a good chunk of cash at Villa and they escaped relegation by the skin of their teeth. I doubt that’ll be deemed good enough when they hold their end of season review with Smith. Personally I’ll be surprised if he’s still in post come the start of the new campaign.

    Fair point I’d forgotten that in fairness, but he was about 21 at that point. He then spent his career playing for the most successful club in the land, hoovering up pots every season.
