It's not a given though, they cant win the CL and liverpool either beat them to the title or push them close every season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not actually that fun or rewarding and gets boring quickly? Like great you win a title… but I mean it’s almost a given you’re going to win it regardless, then surely it gets a little stale and dull after. I'm assuming you're kidding. We can all say it's "boring" from a distance, but I think we'd probably be pretty happy spending loads of money on players, having one of the World's best managers in charge, winning the league consistently whilst having the CL as "the Holy Grail". Villa being in that position would be utterly sensational. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah anyone saying that they would celebrate winning their 4th title in 5 seasons because its boring is lying to themselves Same with the suggestion that it's "only" a league title and they're not clean sweeping the cups too Man City will still be like pigs in shit and so would we (apart from we'd obviously sell out our cup final allocations) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool may be insufferable, but City are plastic, tinpot and destroying football in this country I agree - City are a sportswashing entity for the human rights abusing UAE and that makes them irremediably bad. No great love for Liverpool but c’mon. By every metric Plastic City are very bad for football. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 City will win the title unless West Ham can beat them and we get a point against them or the other way around and next season they will be even stronger. Its really depressing for Premier League. Ok its a much better product than the 70s or 80s but at least it was a more level playing field then. The same team, winning the league season after season is boring and Grealish will get his medals but even for him it must be bittersweet as hes not playing a major role. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think it's a touch of a mixed bag - on the one hand, the ones I see on social media are all extremely chuffed to be doing so well in the league, are loving the rivalry with Liverpool, and generally seem to be pretty excited about the PL and the CL. On the other hand, we can also see that they don't alwas sell out their stadium, and their fans have developed a rather sad habit of leaving cup finals early to beat the traffic. So, my assumption is, we would be basically the same - loving the league, desperate to win the CL (if we hadn't already won of course) and bored by the FA Cup and especially League Cup.

But they "need a striker" Yeah it is very good but not quite: Although with Haaland next season they could be breaking some goalscoring records. Hopefully not though! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a Villa fan, who's team is not winning three trophies a year due to years of financial doping, it is boring. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
