That last sentence is depressing but probably correct. But for us to even be in that position we will have won a fair few trophies so I'll console myself with that thought for now.

Yeah, killer of a last line. Is it a Lennon lyric?

Great picture of Villa Park too!

and the end of a season that contained so much hope at Christmas now can’t come quickly enough

This for me is such a disappointment. Before Christmas we were good. We didn't just get good results, we genuinely were good. We played with zip, verve, creativity, good movement.

Then the covid outbreak and since then, well, we've turned back into Aston Villa. I miss that other team from the start of the season and I hope we see it again next season, and for longer.

Spellcheck on.....*Sanson ... Spellcheck off

I don't agree with the last sentence as Leicester have managed it. However, I fear that may be me being optimistic rather than realistic.

'The sad reality of football is that to get to where we want, we have to become what we despise.'

One of the most depressing things I have ever read!

Hopefully the prophetic last line will not come to pass. There's an interesting breakdown on the finances of clubs involved and the Glazer-fication of club finance here


Dave there's a MAaty cash typo on the third from last paragraph.
