I've read a similar article on the official site; when our own website refers to other clubs as "elite clubs" and "big guns" it doesn't half get my goat.

If Aston Villa consider a midfield of Adam, Downing, Henderson and co an "elite" team then we might as well give up right now. There's no excuses, we have the players to give anyone a game and anyone a beating - it's not just the manager, it's the actual official voice of the club that needs sorting.
