Phileas Fogg Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 Not convinced Villa are a sure bet to win promotion back at the first time of asking either. They seem to be cutting costs and any quality players they have (Richards, Grealish, Guzan etc) will probably move on. Would be a hugely overhauled squad if they're relegated and they'll have to spend money to be competitive. Tough times ahead for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidered abroad Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 My first trip to Villa was in 1957 for an FA Cup tie. We lost 2-1 but Big John scored and absolute screamer from 30 yards with his left foot. I know we all keep saying it but with Atyeo in this season's team we'd be knocking on the door of the Prem. I used to go there a lot when I lived in the Midlands. One night against Inter Milan stands out when Villa beat them 2-1. Milan had three great Germans in Matthaus, Klinsman and Brehme. Also remember Bobby Gould puncing one into the net when it was easier to head it in s we only drew 2-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISTOL86 Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 The sad thing is it means we have zero chance of a permanent deal for Baker. Not that it was necessarily on the cards, but you'd think we stand more chance with them as a premier league team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa will have to make a lot of cuts. If the offer is right, I think they would sell. Looks like dark days ahead for Villa. I cannot see them getting back in to the Premier League any time soon.

Lanterne Rouge Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 Well, I`m sure we`ll be kept well informed of how they`re doing next season as I expect Sky will have them on every bloody week. They`re probably gutted that them and Leeds will only play each other twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CotswoldRed Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 Have to admit to feeling sorry for Aston Villa this week. Spent most of Tuesday at the ground and was escorted around the place by a number of their staff. The place oozes class - because everyone working at the club appeared to be very knowledgeable about their history and couldn't have been more hospitable. They were also very polite and courteous about BCFC and wanted to know all about us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offside Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 That 1982 match would have been one of my first City games. All I remember is being in the Enclosure with my dad. I've always wanted to go to Villa Park so that's another reason we need to stay up...although it would be typical if it is an evening match when I've got to work late or something.

My sister is a Villa fan, I bought her a hospitality package for a game vs Chelsea a few years ago as a Christmas pressie. They way they treated her was pure class. They really made her feel like they were very grateful for her support and they phoned her a few weeks after to check that she'd had a good day and to get her feedback. It was brilliant all round, especially as the game had to be rearranged but they were just superb and really valued the support. Villa's off field team is very professional, very well organised and very much premier league. Pity about the guys on the pitch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WOODSY1111 Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 I would put them down to go straight through the league as they have nothing to offer and any, if, few decent players they have will want to stay in the premiership!

I don't get it. Hull & Burnley are doing fine and even Cardiff & QPR that you would have thought would be basket cases have stayed in the division.

sglosbcfc Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 If we haven't played Villa since 1982 there can't be many teams in the football league that we have gone a further time without playing? I don't recall us playing Arsenal or Spurs in the past 34 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
