Are you worried?

[Sexual Ealing]

Like Arsenal?! Since we last won a trophy (the League Cup) they've won three titles and eight FA Cups. I'll have a bit of failure like that.

I meant that last few years since Emery left them  - apologies

the Rory Wilson saga worries me.

Who the hell is Rory Wilson?

OK, I'm guessing this is some kind of "in-joke" as I have no idea who that is either.

[Sexual Ealing]

Wilson is a teenager who won't sign a contract. Bardell is a man on the internet who dresses like a teenager.

Cheers, not living in the UK I don't bother with any of the sideshow stuff. Far too many vloggers and bloggers these days.

Don't watch the youth team either. Just don't have the time or interest tbh. If they are good enough, I'll watch them when they make the grade.

Anyway, not worried about much other than how the atmosphere will be if/when we don't qualify for the Champions League. Be it this season, next or whenever, I can't see fans getting excited for a Europa Conference group game against Halmstad after this.

 Not Villa man and boy then.  My youth was VP first team for home games then away games if I could go but if not down the reserves  as we used to call them

Yes, I grew up near VP and used to go to the reserves as a kid in the 80's. Live thousands of miles away now so obviously don't do that anymore.

Over the years I have flown tens of thousands of miles to watch Villa games. (lived in S. America, Australia and Thailand previously to name a few)

With so much football now for the first team alone, it's hard enough making the time for those games, given the time difference etc....

Not sure how any of that means I'm not "Villa man and boy".

The reserves used to play at Villa Park on a Saturday 3pm if we were away , they used to let us in free (Trinity only open)

The Central League I think it was called. Used to enjoy going there for night games. 50p entrance.

I can still smell the Bovril, pipe smoke and the freshly cut grass now.

Yes and they had a handout team sheet . The Youth team around 1980 was good won the Youth Cup

[Clark W Griswold]

I certainly get more tense during matches when we're doing well, as i'm thinking of what could be and i don't want it to slip.

Like today. Fuck fuck fuckity fucking fuckfuck fucking fuck.

[levico]

Yes, today was a classic example of what worries me these days.
The other thing I worry about is the dearth of trophies. It’s been so long and as things stand with our emphasis on a European competition that we’re unlikely to win - what else is there for us?
