With the squad assembled they SHOULD be 10-14th fairly comfortably. But we can all pray

they SHOULD have been mid table last season. We SHOULD have stayed up when we had players like Krychowiak and Sturridge. Good teams and good players can easily be relegated by failures elsewhere.

They're not going down. Last season was massive for them and as usual when they needed the breaks they got them. When do they not?

This season they look much better equipped. They'll be comfortable mid table.

theyve also faced Fulham and Sheffield, both of whom look completely out of their depth despite themselves only playing weaker teams so far. Weâ€™ll see what they do when they come up to an actually competent team and from what Iâ€™ve seen of Villa so far, Iâ€™m not impressed.

I've never know a luckier team.

FFP? Goal-line technology? No problem, the rules don't seem to apply to them. They're like a pooh Man United.

Actually think they are better than Wolves this season the sale of Jota and Doherty has weakened them badly imo

Unfortunately, I think that Ross Barkley will be a good signing for the Vile; he is the archetypal thick footballer but quite good a t his profession.

Barkley is a good signing for them. But they still dont have a particularly good cb mings best of a bad bunch. Their left back makes Townsend look like vintage maldini. Watkins still hasnt shown he can do it at top level. They will still be in and around the bottom.

I like your style... but wishful thinking in my view. They will be mid table I reckon.

He's played 2 games for them, now if he still hasn't scored by Christmas you may have a point.

Sadly I have to agree with KN22 that they will be mid table.

No comment on todayâ€™s result? Watkins hat trick, Kloppâ€™s biggest defeat as a manager, and Liverpoolâ€™s worst defeat since 1963. Having emigrated to London 40 years ago my attitude to rival West Midlands clubs has somewhat mellowed and I can tolerate them doing well. Watkinâ€™s hat trick may not help our negotiations with Huddersfield over the Grant transfer as it was suggested that the fee Villa paid for Watkins was the reason Huddersfield upped the fee for Grant.

Have they spent enough to buy the title? ALA Chelski or Chity who have done in the past?

Nocky · « **Reply #8962 on:** October 05, 2020, 08:59:33 AM »

I genuinely think only Pereira or Diangana would get into Villa's starting eleven yesterday instead of Trezeguet. They are better than us in every single other position. Quite a chastening thought.

Not surprising though really when they have spent Â£250m in the space of a year and a few months.

Massive result for them, but again the luck was with them. Half their goals were massive deflections.

Absolutely. Villa's owners have ploughed over Â£100m of their own money into the club. Our owners have no appetite to do so. We just can't compete unfortunately.

Precisely that, sadly. We are in a league where we cannot compete.

Modern football. It's not for me.

Same here. If only we could turn the clocks back but we cant.

Dealing with the here and now the gap between the Premier League and the Championship is growing ridiculously and the gap to the next tier is obscene. Liverpool put out their kids at Lincoln and put seven past them. There used to be such a thing as cup shocks.

We are only going to fall further and further behind Villa and Wolves. Our only hope is we too get bought out by a mega wealthy owner prepared to invest.

If that doesnt happen the gap is going to get so big we may never compete with them again. That's what hurts so much.

The vilers could have gone top of the Premier League for the first time since October 2001 had they won last night.

But did anyone else hear that loud !!POP!! over Aston at about 10:00 PM last night?

I note with interest that the darlings that are the Premier League are awarding The Vile Fergie time now. Extra seven minutes today to give them a shout.

I just love the Prem, it's such a balanced and non-biased playing field.

Indeed, do you think Dean Smith has suddenly become a top premier league manager given their improvement this season or is it he has a club behind him that has an ambition to succeed.

I know what I think.

Hes been backed very well. Imagine what our results would be like if we had spent what they had on a decent keeper and if we had brought the striker in a month earlier...
