Didnt once say worthless but oh well..when has that ever mattered on here?
Im saying, we as fans have absolutely no effect on the outcome of a football match except in exceptional circumstances. We as individual fans have never won anything past, present or future, so why is there always this 'retarded' argument on who is the best team?
Its pointless beyond being pointless..until football stops and we have a trophy count, there will never be a 'best team'..
I mean some of the arugments on this thread about pre-season football matches is literally toe-curlingly embarrassing..
I enjoy going to the villa, but im not going to get arsey because another team beat 'us'. I go for the entertainment of seeing the 'best' players play football..
In my opinion theres nothing better then watching the kids come through and make an impression in the first team, because hopefully they're local lads and then they will be doing what most of the readers on this forum dreamt about doing as kids, playing in front of thousands, making thousands happy and earning a bit of money. I also like watching people who have wonderful ability, you know, people like Ronaldo, Henry, Figo, Morientes (one of my faves for some reason), Torres, Drogba, Crespo, Giggs, Keane, Beckham, Shearer, Gazza, Messi, Ronaldinho, Kaka, Diego, Eto, Milito and many others who I have been lucky enough to watch over the last 10 years both at villa and other grounds. Hell I was the only buggar clapping Hugo Rodegella (sp?) when he scored that screamer AGAINST us on the opening day of the season, because it was wonderful! Its what I pay for.
I dont care what other teams have done or are doing. My eyes are only on Aston Villa - if we're not successful, so be it, but i'll still go and watch them because i've invested in them emotionally - the same as every single other football fan.
