Fucking hell.

[Rotterdam]

Sky Sports had a poll last night with roughly 35% think Man City or Arsenal will win the PL. 24% thought ManUre, just 6% us.

So it's not just the media we have to go for, it's the people as well?!

[DrGonzo]

Chatting with St Peter in the pub last night, he reckoned Newcastle would have won yesterday if big Bruno had been fit. F*in typical angel.

[Gareth]

Shearer on the Rest is Football podcast today couldn’t be more complimentary to us whilst obviously boiling about Newcastles performance

[Brazilian Villain]

I wonder what it would take for some to acknowledge that the media is being very nice and complimentary about us (with some strange but isolated exceptions). Villa fever is sweeping the nation! Can Villa Do It?, the only question on the lips of the masses huddled round the newsstands. Scribes and priests hail the Divine Genius of St. Unai. It's actually a golden time.

Until it's raised at PMQs, I'll continue to feel we're being ignored.

Todsy's Guardian's weekly feature:

Premier League: 10 talking points from the weekend’s action

Points one: Casemeito is thriving under Carrick
Point two: Arsenal lose their concentration
Point three: Newcastle are short of creativity

There isn't a point about Aston Invisible

Someone did an analysis of all the 10 talking point articles and I think it’s something like 80% of the Villa matches have been about the opposition.

Sounds to me like that  ‘someone’ has to much time on their hands.

No doubt. We’re all using our time MUCH more wisely.

[Olneythelonely]

So also removing the advantages that we have over all but six other clubs? A world where it's just as likely that Emery chooses to manage West Brom as Villa because we can't bully them with our money and status and prestige anymore? Where it's a genuine flip of a coin whether Rogers chooses to stay at Villa or sign for Colchester?

To 99% of clubs in the country, we are one of those clubs that have the biggest advantage, taking all the best players.

Yeah. That’s how I think it should work.

She Ra is a fully paid up convert to us in fairness to him, and he's probably alone in pundit world in not being in thrall to the *spits*, 'big six'.

Fair enough. I believe that you'd be in the minority though.

I write this covered in lemon curd and semen, having spent the night yodelling Leo Sayer B-sides to the foxes, and I can confidently assert this: you're all absolutely fucking mental.

You think doing kremlinology on the exact adjectives Danny Murphy chooses to praise Konsa's positioning is somehow a waste of time?

I'm conflicted. I love self-parody, but it's like ironic racism in that you stop being able to tell the difference after a while.

Well, that’s because no one, and I mean this, absolutely no one is as fair as me.
