Yep, sadly this is tread water time for Villa. We ain't gonna challenge for any European competition, unless the players play out of their heads in the Cup and win the **** thing. But would you place a bet on that happening?
The only drama we're going to see this season and for the forseeable future is whether or not we stay up. Thing is, we're probably just good enough so that relegation will never really make us sweat.
So we'll be mired in the purgatory of 9th-15th place, playing negative football and watching empty seats multiply by the month.
