How Will We Do In The Championship?

[Chris Jameson]

I'm a Seattle Sounders supporter and probably won't post here again, as it's your club (though I really like the Villa), but Villa shouldn't go out on the pitch with the mentality of "We're better than all the rest in the league just by existing", but the mentality of "We're going to beat the other bastards today come hell or high water".

Wishing you well next Season,

Daniel.

You're more than welcome to stick around Daniel. We accept all sorts round here, except Stoke supporters.

Am I right in thinking that Wednesday were relegated from the PL in 2000?  Seeing them win tonight just made me wonder again how long it can take to get back if the club is in a shit state from top to bottom.

Yes.

I well remember the game against them at VP just before Christmas in the year of 1999 Anno Domini in which Dion Dublin  broke his neck when we scored. The game was portrayed in the media as a relegation 6 pointer.

16 years including being owned by the likes of Milan Mandaric and Ken Bates. I'd say that was pretty good going.

Benitez looks likely to stay at Newcastle, and they are suggesting they will spend money.

I said months ago about how we should approach the championship - show no respect, and a shed load of arrogance, we need to destroy all before us.

1 win in 11 going into that game, 1-0 at home to Bradford. We lost only 2 more league games all season. Saints away in March and Manure at home last day of the season.

Weird as Ashley himself said there was nothing left after the spending in Jan , more likely his Rafa will be allowed to spend what he brings in from sales.To be fair they have a few decent players to raise  cash from.

Kind related news but Secret footballer on Twitter is tweeting to say Norwich are in  financial in the shit after relegation

Norwich City are in financial crisis. I've heard there will be an imminent fire sale of players.

They've lost main sponsors Aviva - who will become a Premier League official partner. The club's banking credit facility is maxed out.

The owners won't be investing and there is a process underway to remove current owners before new foreign investors come in.

Would help us if one of the other relegated teams is in a bad way

Watching the Newcastle fans on Sunday at St James. That was incredible. I started watching without about 4minutes of the Villa game left, great choice to switch. And have you seen the new rant from that Geordie mush re relegation? Probably took off U Tube by now. Absolute quality.
The geordie fans, obviously buoyed by smashing the Flids 5-1, are all unanimously singing and Barry bannering for Rafa to stay. Showed a lot about what we been missing at Villa, and was extremely commendable. Went on for a good 15 minutes after the game
 Most excited we got on Sunday was getting a fuckin corner.
Still, UTV.

Please don't use terms like "flids" when posting.

[HolmesyVilla]

Why, that's what I call Tottenham fans?

[Dave]

Not on here you don't.

[Ger Regan]

Just to be clear, any more offensive language like that, or "cocksucker", which you used elsewhere, or anything similar and you're banned.

[cheltenhamlion]

Just ban him. He lowers the tone on every thread anyway.

[Toronto Villa]

Agreed. He offers nothing in terms of value to any topic being discussed. We can deal with differing viewpoints but when someone is going out of their way to be outright obnoxious then there's no need for them to be here.
