Unfortunatly its only going to get worse for the villa. Can see us getting relegated this year too. Too many players on big wages who dont perform. Its all good and well going with youth week in week out but theyre not good enough. The only decent signings villa have made this season have been westwood and benteke . Unsure what Bannan and ireland bring to the team bar giving 90% of there passes away. Unless we sign a creative midfielder in january i cant see us picking up many points. It all rues back to the era of martin o'neill which now has taken its toll on the finances at villa park, I was a hypacrit and loving it when villa were up 6th in the league year in year out under o'neill but it's like the board Paul Faulkner and Randy Lerner didn't have the power to say No to him. Remember the likes of Heskey were on 65K. The club won't compete in the top flight until the finances get sorted.

IMO you underachived with the money O'neill spent !!....Massively !!
Villa fans live for the past lots of rivalry where I am being a blue nose and running villa all over the place for the last god knows how many years! They need to wake up and realise just how bad they are, I've spent many a year having the banter with villa fans that just look back at being European cup winners from the 80's about time they were brought back to reality,well done Bradford
Live life to the full and enjoy, try and help people who havn't got as much as you, you never know what tomorrow will bring!!!!
Talking to most fans here in norwich there was always a suspicion that lambert wouldn't hack it at a big club, although to be fair he hasn't inherited a great set of players. Stephen Ireland is the one whom strikes me as a massive under performer looked a good player at city.
Be careful what you dream of it may come up and surprise you.

This fucking balloon embodies how shit modern day football is. He was average at best at City and is now monumentally shite yet he is a multi-millionaire driving around in £150,000 motors with pink wheels. He has achieved absolutely zero in the game and yet lives in a pimped out mansion. It beggars belief.

Have to agree Andy. I remember seeing him in Leeds shopping a good while ago with his little entourage in tow, my first and last impression was what a cock which is possibly harsh bearing in mind I don't know him but hey ho.
Fairplay to Bradford, my thoughts for what they are worth is simple, they wanted it far more. For that simple fact well done and good luck in the Final, I hope they have a great day out and you never know
