I think its clear that there is no real agreement on what is boring and what is not. I think it is completely seperate from the quality of football, for example, Wigan were a pretty exciting side, but utterly hopeless. I am not saying we are a quality outfit in the context of Villa sides of years gone by, but I think that is seperate from excitement. Excitement isn't the reserve of the elite.
I wouldn't have been angered into posting that if your first contribution to the thread hadn't been to describe my opinion as nonsense and akin to propaganda.I am more interested in why you think we're dull than continuing the he started it gig.
More often that not I find us exciting to watch at away games.More often than not I find us boring to watch at home games.

As for the dull stuff, our home form in my opinion is just unacceptable. It's not just the results that disappoint it's the surrendering of so much possession that I find so frustrating. I can't remember a Villa team see so little of the ball, and I find that dull and boring. I'm not the only one either.
I wouldn't say we're boring, just dreary.

Yes, know what you mean. I will be in the pub in Chichester on Monday to see us against you know who and I guarantee I'll be one of about three people watching it. I watched the two Bradford games last season in different pubs in London and Chichester, and on both occasions, I was the only single person looking at the television. As I said, others don't go out of their way for one minute to watch us and that has to be some sort of barometer for me
