Really, why should we care?It happens all the time in football. That's why our interviewers first question to new players is usually "how does it feel to join a huge club like Villa." He knows our fans want to hear it and they player will have been briefed on mentioning our size and history. It's all lip service but harmless stuff, and us fans lap it up.I hate the 'massive club' garbage that they force new signings to parrot.

Do you want that, or do you want Richard Dunne and Stephen Ireland talking about joining a 'family' club. Making us sound like Watford or Fulham. That said, the marketing crew need to up their game. This 'We are Premier League' all over the clubshop is total cringe. I don’t want to hear about those 2 joining our club at all
We are but at times it's feels like we were acting like a small club getting there for the first time. That said I accept a lot of the social media and marketing that the club do isn't aimed at old gits like me.
All this 'we are premier league' stuff makes us sound like Huddersfield or Barnsley being allowed to play with the big boys for a couple of years.Which is why the club were spot on about not having an open top bus style celebration.It's fucking great we are out of that league but we should be mortally embarrassed to have spent three years there in the first place.
Looked to have a great future at the age of 16, but to have an ACL in both knees was megga bad luck. All his loan spells haven't been that good until this one with Blues. The championship is his level and I wish him well and thanks for the goal against Blues and the following celebration.
The fact that both he and his massive cock ring of a brother both had to swear allegiance to that lot and deny our existence tells you not just how sad they are but ultimately how that lot are. That admitting any kind of feelings towards "da Vile" would be seen as a betrayal. And the media said we are the petty ones and all hated McLeish and Bruce because of links with them. No we just thought they were crap.
