United lost to Southampton 6-3 in one of the seasons they won the title. You also had teams winning the league with 75-80 points in those days and some would get relegated on 40 points so it was more competitive back then. I do think in last few years the endless TV money has started filtering through to mid table teams so middle of premier league has never looked stronger in terms of first 11s, I mean ours is pretty decent if we actually had a competent manager. Plus you always get these results at start of season anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinebro Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Can't see Potter being willing to work under a regime where the CEO has so much power in terms of footballing decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLARETANDBLUEFOXY Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Doesn’t this piss you off though? Leeds 2nd. Great 3-0 win. Fans Singing away to Kaiser Chiefs like they’ve never felt happier. Why can’t we have that? Why do we keep appointing shit managers who buy shit players and why can’t we ever have a moment like this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpTheVilla26 Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Fair to Leeds & Brighton. Both have recruited well and appear to have managers with a clear plan of how they want their sides to play & are not scared to have a go when playing so called 'bigger' teams. Hard to look at that wistfully from a distance. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had it first half of 20/21. Just didnt get to be there to enjoy it. Imagine the scenes and atmosphere for the 7-2 or at the Emirates That was our momentum and good times, shame it was all behind closed doors.

We haven't had any performances like that since the time football was behind closed doors. Very few signs we are on the verge of anything like that again any time soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In true Villa fashion we then lost our next five and sacked our most popular manager in over a decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was still beating Man. United at Old Trafford. Considering our history v them over last 30 years it was a very memorable day and probably the best ending to a game involving us in recent times with the Fernandes penalty. The last hurrah for Smith. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
