We Can't Even Succeed At Failure!
« on: May 05, 2016, 04:58:25 PM »
Typical Villa - even in this direst of seasons we fail to top the ineptitude table:-

Quite amusing to see who is top, mind.

Am I reading this wrong?  We appear to have won. A magnificent performance from the squad!

Yep. Five points clear of our West Midlands rivals.

No, it's me who can't read - I thought I'd got to the end and Albion were top but I  now see there was some more.

We are top of the league say we are top of the league so we have succeeded at failure

I think the ineptitude of my reading skills means I win, so Villa only finish second.

Which paradoxically means I was right in the first place.

It was rigged.

One of the categories was yellow cards for removing your shirt after scoring a goal. Given that we've barely troubled the scoreboard this season we had a category where we didn't have a chance to pick up any points.

Wow, considering we have hardly scored we're high up the chart for removing the shirt. We must have had a player booked for about 80% of our goals!

Edit. I think I've done a 'Richard' and have not read that section very well.

Let's hope Gabby &Micah are presented with a trophy  on behalf of the team for this achievement ahead of the Newcastle game. I'm sure supporters would show their appreciation.
