I imagine a passing neutral might come to that conclusion due to our always being around in the PL era but rarely actually doing much to grab their attention.

We've done as much if not more than the likes of Tottenham have done in the PL era, but I think people are judging us on where we're at right now, and let's face it we're a non entity at the moment. I look at this forum and see stuff that "Ads" (and others) post about us being "exciting" but I find myself shaking my head in disbelief. I think this is one of the poorest era of Villa teams I've ever seen and so do most if not all of my mates and work colleagues think as well. I just can't see it when I'm told we're "exciting". Perhaps I'm just having a mid life crisis and I'm a grumpy old git, but I find Villa under Lambert boring, and we've become a team who are just happy to make up the numbers.
Why is my name in-between bunny ears? Does your disbelief stretch to my existence? As stated, the initial premise was that we are boring. I don’t think we’re middling, I think we’re barmy and erratic, which is an exciting combination and yet an equally terrifying and maddening one too. Your critique of the side is incredibly harsh and has been for a number of years, sometimes that criticism is justified, often in my opinion its not. Our quality is not the topic of discussion though, it is whether we are boring.

I wouldn't say we're exciting. I wouldn't say we're boring either.

Our quality is not the topic of discussion though, it is whether we are boring. My criticism of Villa started as soon as we started to go backwards. What's so shocking about that? I'm entitled to my opinion and I'll continue to give it. To me your description of this Villa team as "exciting" is just bizarre as I find this era under Lambert and Lerner one of the dullest periods ever. No offence but you come across as a message board version of the sort of dressed up nonsense the official site comes up with on a daily basis. By the way I meant nothing when I quoted your username. It was just a way of highlighting your name.
