Are we going to do ‘a Fulham?’

If Tom Ross says our business is done, that's good enough for me. After all, the man has an intravenous drip into the veins of Villa Park.

All those saying/hoping we will "do a Fulham" are just bitter. Most have no idea about the plan our owners, manager and coaches are in the process of implementing. This is not some kid in the newly opened sweet shop approach but a clear, thought out and calculated approach. Those looking on with envy are hoping we will do a Fulham because they are worried about the threat we have become. As for the likes of Big Sam, or hemorrhoid head Brazil I couldn't give a toss what they think as they don't know shit so can only speculate.
None of us know for sure how the season will pan out but my god it makes a nice change to go into it feeling excited about our future.

Think it's ridiculous this 'doing a Fulham' has become a thing in the same way as doing a Leeds, or many of the other football phrases.

Fulham were not the first team to spend lots of money after being promoted.

We are going to “Do a Villa” and next season they will all be trying it......

I've seen that on Twitter. Darren Gough in broken clock syndrome. Fair play.

Gough has a mate who supports Villa and has a box at Villa Park. Gough goes to a few Villa games with his mate over the course of a season. If you listen to him on the radio he supports four teams. His home town boyhood club Barnsley, MK Dons because he lives in Milton Keynes, Villa because of his mate with the box and Chelsea because his two sons support them. Forget half and half scarves, Goughie needs a four quarter scarf.

He's still fitter than Ross McCormack

Hah! Brilliant

He’s a Spurs fan too.

Fulham started last season with a 3-1 defeat to Spurs, a defeat at home and won their third match by a two goal margin at home.

The buggers were clearly right.

[Risso]

Still no.

[kippaxvilla2]

I think we are.

[Tuscans]

Not really, they were 19th after 27 games. 17pts with a minus 35 goal difference. They has absolutely no chance of survival and as bad as today was, we can. (hopes)

[Three Spires Villa]

But the end of season table will probably have us relegated, in that case we will have done a Fulham

Yes but it's not about exactly emulating Fulham last year, down to points and goal difference.  It's about money spent + recruitment + net effect.

No I know that but what I'm is our position looks more promising than Fulhams this time last season. I get the comparison about the spend but I just think there's a lot of differences in position, points etc and surely "doing a Fulham" can only be pointed at us if we do get relegated.

And like I said, today was shitty, a few results have been proper brown...but, we can still stay in this league and hopefully, "not do a Fulham" and put that shit to bed.
