To win things like er trophies. 24 Fcukin years. Absolutely. Tonight was for a place in the quarter final. Right now there are other priorities, I get that, but I grew up with my dad telling me that winning trophies was in the DNA of Aston Villa football club. I'll get over it of course but I am fucking gutted. Clubs aren't in football to win things anymore. They exist to be in two leagues that haver led us to situations like tonight.

They exist to be in two leagues that haver led us to situations like tonight.I drag myself to Villa Park and around the country when I get chance with the vague hope that one day I can celebrate us winning a trophy again with my lads, both born in the 90's and have only ever seen us win at Wembley the once and that was the play off final. I can't accept that we aren't in football to win things anymore.

I can't accept that we aren't in football to win things anymore. Unless I've missed something the final is going to be played BCD isn't it given it's early March.Perhaps the FA cup final will have some fans back in although it's certainly not going to be a 90k capacity.
Aston Villa boss Dean Smith: "First half we were awful even though we had two open goals. We were better in the second half and I thought we could have had two penalties for a couple of shirt pulls. We were excellent at Bristol City and rightly lauded there but we made too many basic errors."We still had chances but we didn't take them. It's a set-back, but in terms of our priorities, making 11 changes lets you know where we are at. It's certainly a blip and now we have got a tough game on Sunday. I have had these players long enough to know about them but the players who came in tonight certainly did not do themselves credit."
Besides, there wasn't too many complaints about the line up before the game.
I don't recall any penalty shouts but by the second half I wasn't giving it my full attention.
