It's not how you start, it's how you finish and we have finished the season superbly, particularly the last week.  If we can add some quality to the edges of the squad, with a couple of definite first team starters, we will be up there again.  One thing is for sure, Aston Villa are a top 6 side, thanks to King Unai.  It has to be a 9 out of 10 for me.  4th, won a trophy, what more can we ask.

Compared to the last 30 A++

Compared to what I hope we go on to do, B+

Even though I was living in my Villa kit from around 4 years old, I never understood or realised the importance of the league and being European champions and I didn’t really watch any of the games being so young, so this is by far the best season I’ve had, surpassing second place 89/90, the cup wins in 94 and 96.


Incredible season, cup win, fourth, the double over Man City, completely outplaying the champions for the best part of two matches. Beating Man Utd and Liverpool.

I think the game against Forest was the most complete and perfect performance I’ve ever seen and the noise at Villa Park sounded unreal. I’m so jealous of those who attended that game!

We’ve so many heroes in our team and the best manager in the world. Amazing season.

I just hope this is the start of something rather than the peak before beginning of the end as has tended to be our way in my time.

77 that great attacking side
81 Super Ron
82 Tony
94 Atkinson
96 Sir Brian

Best season we’ve had since 1996 at least and probably better than that because 4th gets CL football these days.

At times euphoric, at times woeful but ultimately magnificent. Best of all it really feels that we are only part way to what we can achieve and realistically can get stronger. After nearly six decades of following the Villa, I'm more optimistic than ever!
