What a refreshing change from the usual media (and fan a lot of the time) narrative of “they bought shit players last time, they bought good players this time”. Those shit players being Heaton, Mings, AEG, Targett, Trezeguet, Konsa and Doug.

Latest Daily Express final league predictions

I'll be incandescent with rage if we miss out on the title by 3 points!

[cdbearsfan]

They have Liverpool losing only two games all season... both against us.

I would be pretty seething if we lost the league to them by three points and not one other team bothered their arses beating them! 😄

[Lastfootstamper]

Only 9 home wins is a bit shit as well.

[cdbearsfan]

Made up for by getting what would, surely, be the best away record ever? And it is still only one more home defeat. Would take that, I'll be honest.

[Lastfootstamper]

That's a long, long season for the bottom two.

As accurate as their ‘summer will be a scorcher’ and ‘coldest winter on record’ predictions.

[cdbearsfan]

Can just picture Big Sam punching the air when they reach the magical ten point mark.

During the Chelsea game pundit said "Aston Villa look a very fit and strong team".

I read that last seasons recruitment was crap to, and thought wtf? Had to bring in so many players, most of them worked too imo. Injuries to McGinn, the Heaton and Wes were massive too. Ultimately, I do think Covid did do us a favour. We were going down otherwise.

Our first game is upon us!
This thread here is to give comment, discussion and debate to what is being said about us the mighty Aston Villa this season.

For me I think we'll surprise a few people and receive plenty of positive noise . At this moment as we haven't kicked off yet the comments on Aston Villa seem to suggest we'll be battling relegation again.


Gary Neville
"I’m going to say West Brom and Fulham [for relegation],” says Neville. “And I’m also going to say Villa, because I said it a couple of weeks ago, even though I don’t want them to. I just think they’re going to struggle"

Robbie Savage
Says Aston Villa will finish 18th and be relegated

Wow. Only just clicked on this thread.

Yes, I’ve just watched that, Not3bad, it was very refreshing! Hope the respective players feel that way, as well.
