As anyone who'se been in any kind of relationship would know - be it friend, Girlfriend, Wife, husband, mum, dad, the children!!, etc etc, such relationships naturally go through periods of ups and downs. Some days were all hugging and kissing each other, other times its those dagger looks being exchanged.
Football and football clubs is ( imo) not so much different. There's periods of the ups and immense pride eg League Champions, European Cup Winners, League Cup Winners over the Mancs, and now the low periods ie relegation out of the top flight, or humiliation/ lack lustre defeat in certain matches.
Bearing in mind the previous ups and downs mentioned, & if Villa were one of your friends/associates etc, how would we/fans currently view that personal relationship with the club at the moment?
