You may scoff but I had 5Live on yesterday afternoon and they continually referenced teams that "could go above Arsenal".....
Also, without going full Tim*, I noted two things in the aftermath of our victory against Bologna.
- The morning after Liverpool won, the sports guy on BBC Breakfast said something like "Liverpool won against RB Leipzig to maintain their perfect start to their Champions League campaign, one of only two two teams to do so." Obviously no mention of the other team.
- The BBC Text service had 9 or 10 stories in in its Football Headlines. No mention of our win but there was a story on Girona winning their CL game. Maybe it's just because Girona are more popular in the UK than Villa.
*Never go full Tim.
