Thirty odd years and better than ever. I don’t know how you do it Dave.

Awww, shucks.

30 years of hurt doesn't sound so good  !!! Are you the albatross on the ship dave ?

As always a very good read Dave. 8 -10th with a cup run would be a solid season for us and offer a springboard to get another 1 or 2 higher quality players next season to help push for top 8.

No offence but that's the sort of thing I was pointing out. With our investment and with all the advantages we claim to have, we can't keep saying next season we might finish eighth.

I liked reading this because I agree with you ( which always helps in appreciation of an article) that Villa need to finish 8th+ at least, this season.  Also, that it looks as if we might have some exciting and effective players in Kamara and Carlos to add to the youth coming through and the wonderful talent we have already, to make this an expectation rather than a wistful dream.


‘8th+‘, where the + means getting better, like 7 th, 6 th, 5 th...

For Gerrard, the owners and the fans, this season has to be special in the context of our recent history.  The debate is what ‘special’ in that context means. It isn’t scraping 8th for me.

We need things to go our way a little bit - tactics, injuries, good form, stability, etc. But if we do have one of those seasons, why couldn't we win a Cup and finish in a European spot in the league? If it goes our way, this could be a brilliant season.

I agree, as the title implies now is the time for dancing in the street.

Lets hope it's to the Martha and the Vandella's version, not Mick and Dave.

Blimey, I’d forgotten they massacred it. Thanks for reminding me!

I like it. No more no more mid table consolidation or look where we were 3 years ago. Time to go for it. Exciting times.

Agree. This is the season to kick on.  7th or 8th is an ambitious but not unrealistic aim.
