Aston Villa

Watching all the buying clubs line up to pinch your top players last year was pitiful and shows all that is wrong with the EPL and their Sky money.
The fact that you built a new team and finished 7th was great to see. I think there are many UK football fans cheering your team on.

I think that you are an exception to the rule, I cannot remember too many clubs promoted in the last 5 years that have stayed up for more than 3 years.

Why is it "pitiful" ?!

That's been football for years - players do well and will always look to move on to bigger clubs

Swansea can be added to the list of clubs promoted and staying up
 
You obviously didn't see villa under lambert.

As a season ticket holder of 20 years the difference between Lambert and Sherwood is night and day. We would have been relegated by mid march if lambert had stayed - lost the fans and the players in the end.

Over half of Villas points gained were after Sherwood took over - 23 points of the 38 they got - as well as reaching the FA Cup final

They were only heading one way under Lambert

Swapping manager kept the club in the Prem and got them into the FA Cup final

Actually it was 22 points under Lambert and 16 under Sherwood.

Oh dear dear dear. A Wycombe fan. LOL.

But, my post was not for you. It is for Premiership teams and also about the fact Villa panicked, swapped managers, and still just stayed up by the skin of their teeth. They probably would have stayed up with Lambert at the helm.

Something Positive happened with Benteke [sp] tho didnt it ? (& possibly Adebayor at spuds ) he wasnt firing at all , then all of a sudden boom . Good /Better with the players maybe ?
Not a villa fan but if they win the FA cup would your opinion change ? just curious
 
There is no chance in hell Villa would have stayed up under Lambert. Sherwood has given the team a new lease of life, yes Benteke finding form is a massive part of our upturn in fortunes, but even if he goes this summer, I don't think we'll be in a relegation battle next season.
 
Tipped Villa for the cup ages ago, before the QF. :thup:

Not sure what they think they're doing........getting to the final, tsk.

No your place Villa!!

:)
 
Sherwood got the Villa dressing room back onside and they played much better after he was appointed. I always think the newly promoted sides are on a hiding to nothing, certainly judging by some on here but the fans won't care a jot. To be honest, there are six or seven sides at the lower end that could be in a relegation scrap

Dumped their manager for Tim Sherwood and escaped relegation because Hull City were rubbish. I just do not know what these piddling little teams think they are going to achieve in the Prem. Tim Sherwood, as far a I care, didn't do much at Tottingham City and certainly will do even less at Villa. And whilst I'm on, just what have Norwich got to celebrate? A season of checking the fixtures to see where the next win MAY come from. As well as watching their friends at Ipswich stomp the Championship.

Is it worth it?

How much do you actually know about villa ?

For the record villa are not a "little team" in the prem .

Villa survived because we have a team good enough of survival , sherwood just brought back the belief that lambert didn't give .

The performances we have put in , except the last 2 games deserve to be staying in the prem, not because hull were **** .

Tim sherwood actually had a higher win percentage than any spurs manager of recent times , so to say he didn't do anything with spurs with the time he had in management there is great knowledge of football 👍

Historically one of the more successful English teams are they not? 4th or 5th is it?
 
What brought this rant about? Could think of lots of teams before the FA cup finalists and relegation survivors to have a go at. The change of manager has clearly worked so to start a Villa thread is just fishing for bites surely!
