I feel nervous about us achieving our aims and hopefully winning something, hanging onto Emery etc.
spurs going down would be nice, but it doesn’t keep me awake at night. But christ, worrying about what supporters of other clubs think or say, there is nothing that could ever happen in my life where I could conceivably give a shit what supporters of other clubs think, let alone be a reason to consider carrying on going down the Villa.

Oh no, a West Ham fan hates us because they're shit and we're resting players for arguably our biggest game in years that could alter how our path as a club progresses the next few years.

Can someone please think about West Ham.

The fact that other teams’ fans like us is proof that we’ve been utterly shit for so long. I want to be hated like Man U.

I live in Surrey, surrounded by Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham and Man Yoo tripe. They can all fuck off. Villa and proud.

Much as we’d all prefer Spurs to be relegated, West Ham going is hardly a disaster with the Pornodwarf connection. Shame Brady’s not still there. Oh and there’s that Sendo to remember the two faced prick.

I can honestly say if I’m to leave this mortal coil before our next one then I am happy.  One trophy, two champions league qualifications, one Europa qualification one conference league qualification.

Just woke up and still feel absolutely livid. Ive been a Villa fan since 1988. I have rarely felt like this in all thar time. This is Emerys Moscow but potentially if we lose the aftermath could be equally as far reaching.
This was a big game. We could have gone 4th and onto the Forest game in a good mood. We are limping over the line . We might finish 5th having only won 5 out of 17 or whatever it is and barely scraping a point in the last three.
You have Emery gas lighting us in his comments as if we were completely outplayed. Yes we were but from minute 1 there was absolutely no pressing, desire or impetus.
If Tottenham went down thats a rival out of the picture. Stay up and next season they could be back above us . And as for Forest weve rested players for a game we could still lose. How toxic VP could get.
The whole nation bar Tottenham and Small Heath would have been willing us on tonight. From a lot of the comments ive read I know we are now on a lot of peoples shit lists and people will want Forest to win. For Villa fans like me that dont live in Brum it might be quite unpleasant when passing or mixing with  other supporters of other teams. I can take banter but this may be a whole new level with people who nornally might have liked us or previously not been bothered about us.
Yes we may win the Europa but i feel so conflicted this morning it leaves a nasty taste in the mouth.
