Love this line “ which will probably lead to a complaint to some international court that deals in such horrendous miscarriages of justice”.👍😁

Fantastic article Dave. You're right, why shouldn't we believe.

It will be extremely interesting to see what we do in the January transfer market to strengthen the squad, if we believe we can challenge for the title.

Great read. I can't remember feeling like this before about the Villa - that we are here to stay - and I was at Highbury and Rotterdam!

Re the why not question. Martin Jørgensen (former Danish international) was part of the postmatch review last night and was asked "can Aston Villa really challenge for the title?" His reply was "with the way they're playing and that home form you'd have to be an idiot to say they couldn't."

Good stuff Dave. Playing football is about winning. We should be looking to win a trophy as it's been almost 28 years since we last won one. We are third in the league and that means we are in contention for the Premier League as I see it.

I didn't have time and no-one else did one.

A shame, I was looking forward to your elegant words on an elegant man.
