Season expectations 2017-18

You really don't understand that folks don't want to bet on Villa failing? Go get better odds piling it on at the bookies if you are so confident instead of asking fellow fans to bet on us being crap in an attempt to score a worthless internet point.

[PeterWithesShin]

Stick a few grand on it and show us the betting slip works just as well. In fact better than asking people to bet on hoping we fail, which no one does want.

That's a no then?

No surprise.

I'll simplify it for you as much as possible, I won't bet against the Villa on principle, and because I actually want us to win the league. I hope i'm wrong with all my doubts and don't want any 'satisfaction' of winning money because I was right and Villa are shit.

However nothing and no one is stopping you from putting any amount you want on at the bookies on any Villa prediction that you fancy.

I have and I will win, just testing the know it alls who won't stake a simple £50 against their professional opinion.

Funny how balls shrink when money is on the table.

But it's easy to say how crap we are going to be just known as being right for the sake of it, but ££ involved it becomes a moral issue...mmmm.

Hopefully that simplifies that for you.

[PeterWithesShin]

Professional opinion? I didn't realise I was paid to waffle on a fan forum. And I obviously didn't simplify it enough for you to understand.

No, i've said how crap i'm worried we're going to be. Stop making things up dear.

Ok I'm taking £50 bets on us going up top 2, any takers? I'm very easy to find.

Easy to find? Haven't you had about 5 different user names?

Most pathetic thing I've ever read on here.

I reckon there's 244 posts that are nearly as bad as that one.

And all the previous incarnations.

There aren't any, he's new and shiny.

edited out as AV did

Can I have a word? Honestly you seem like a real Villa fan, love the team and want to rally around. I love that. But do you really need to take a pop at fellow fans who are a bit more worn down by the past few years? Seriously this is a good solid community. But the mods here rightfully don't tolerate that kind of thing for long (I am not one. Just someone who wants you to stick around and have some good times with us).

Genuinely, keep on supporting the team , its great, but please stop the "did you spill my pint?" nonsense. We are all fans here there is no call for it. I say this in good faith.
 Supporting Villa isn't easy right now. Its made a lot better by fans having some laughs together rather than having a go. Cheers.

I'm pure and simply a fan of positivity and would rather be wrong and hopeful than right and smug.

[PeterWithesShin]

I've never bet money against Villa and never will. It should be easy to grasp that and yet appears not to be for some reason.

Totally cool man, We need that! I would just avoid the pops as other fans who are more worn down. They aint smug, they are terrified!
