I joined this site just over two years ago, and since then its seems to have been all downhill.
I have gone to the trouble of checking back and found at that time my initial contributions were about us being robbed in a league cup final, going to a FA semi final, and the possibilities of making it to the Champions League.
I have also checked and found that I am increasingly using the memories section disproportionately in relation to other parts of the site. My doctor said this is beacuse I'm a grumpy 54 year old trying to relive my youth. Wrong! Its because all the stuff discussed in the main section is bad news.
Its time the moderators of this site got a grip on things and stop the rot. If they cant then get some ones in who can. Whose in charge of this anyway ? Surely the buck stops with them ?

GM is where the positivity is at. OT also makes a pleasant alternative for non-paying members.

It has also become full of acronyms which should stop ASAP IMO

I wish we were discussing a Villa Champion's League match thread tonight because that is where a great club like our's belongs.

FWIW Brian I agree. IIRC it's MON's fault.

LMFAO

There's only one thing that can save us right now - another TLA [that's a three letter acronym for the uninitiated].
-
Not quite. An acronym is a word formed from the initial letters or groups of letters of words in a set phrase or series of words, such as WAC from Women's Army Corps, OPEC from Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, or loran from long-range navigation.

So, it's your fault then?!
As another grumpy 54 yr-old who's just watched the i-player version of yestewrday's TV programme on the '70's can I just say: "it were great back then!".
TTFN.

Aston Villa have never played in the Champions League.
Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Newcastle United, Leeds United, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City and Blackburn Rovers have all played in the Champions League.

I think perhaps it's actually Three Letter Abbreviation.

Are you BE?
LOL ROFL PMP

All this acronym stuff is just a smoke screen for the moderators to hide behind.
Next they will be telling us we should be lucky with what we have got with limited resources, and be grateful that we can even go and read Fanzines of Dreams even if we cannot expect to get close to them.

So it's your fault then, and here I was blaming the management and players.

Oh dear. Were you born in the 90s by any chance?

Don't you think that the Champions league is just a watered down version of the European Cup though?

He's a b-loser. 'Nuff said.

Can't argue with that
Although Newcastle, Spurs, Liverpool and Man City would never have qualified for the Champions League if the qualification criteria had been as tough as when we won thre European Cup .
And I'm pretty sure that the 2 times Man United won the Champs league, they didn't qualify as Champions.
Anyway, who gives a shit

Same competition. Simply far easier to qualify for now.Our achievement was better.

OMG - I never knew that until now.

We have played in it, it just wasn't called that then.

You had to be champions to play in the European Cup so it was much more exclusive and to beat Bayern in the final,who then were the best club side in Europe was brilliant.A far better and more satisfying cup to win.I hope that doesn't reek of jealously to much!

Without wanting to belittle our achievement I'm not sure Bayern were the best team in Europe at that time. They hadn't won the European Cup for 6 years when we beat them and they didn't win it again for almost 20 years after.

Turns out that they weren't the best. We were.
They came second!
Hurray!

Exactly!
By the only measurement available at the time, we were the best team in Europe

by that logic liverpool have never won the premier league so there 18 times are all written off as well as 2 or 3 european cups and so are 1 of man u's
its the same comp with a new name and easier format, how can you justify loosing 4 games on the way and still winning the comp.
the champions league is the footballing equivalent of ann robinsons face lift, looks shit but some how it keeps pulling in millions
