Are they going to be in deep doo doo, with regard to non compliance with FFP over the three seasons culminating in their promotion?
Will we be held responsible and have to pay their fine? [Post edited 8 Dec 2019 15:42]

Having told everyone that they definitely "weren't going to do a Fulham", and seeing loads of people in the media assuring us that Villa definitely weren't "going to do a Fulham" it's good to see them doing so well, having only spent sixty-eight quid. I haven't checked the table in a while, but are they still top? |  |

Has anything, ever been Dean Smith's fault? All United's goals last night were dodgy penalties were they? Fcking whinging bstrd. |  | | |

Watched most of the game last night and the penalty was suspect to say the least but for 80% of the game Villa were chasing shadows and were totally, totally outplayed. I really cannot understand how they have spent over £150 million and be such a poor team.
Even in other games I have seen them play they look very poor and how Mings ever gets called up for England I will never know awful defender and waste of money.
I pray they go down. |  | | |

I thought Mings was ok tbh, rumous OGS is interested in him for Manure...
Next season would be difficult Mings and Grealish will go, but thinking on it the money those 2 alone would command would see them right I'd imagine for a while. |  | | |

Fair play - I bet a lot of people laughed at him when he came out with that, but look at them now - flying. We had the same when Al Fayed said we were going to be the Man Utd of the South - and look at us now. | |

They believe they have the a God given right to be in the top flight and belittle other teams and are not shy in letting others know that. Deluded fans. Also, want them to get done by FFP but that'll only be us, I'd imagine.
Add the racist Terry and whinger Smith to that and it all becomes clearer. [Post edited 10 Jul 2020 11:48]

Same with us with the '4 year plan'.
IIRC, when Briatore came on to the pitch with mic in hand, he said the 4 year plan was to be playing Champions League football. I recall everyone pI$$ing themselves laughing.
History has been re-written that the 4 year plan was to get in the PL, which happened. |  | | |

Its true Briatore said it when he took over, but not sure it was ever part of teh Four Year plan Documentary.
It certainl was laughable when you look at what a joke Briatore was at running anything, and in many ways am amazed he ever ran a successful business in any walk of life - but he did.
He was also thought well of in F1 at one time I think, but again made a mess of things. | | | |

It’s a recent thing with me , stemming back to our recent premier league duels where from what I can remember we have played them off the park every time we have played them but somehow ended up losing or drawing , a certain 3 -2 loss at their place when we should have been 4 up by half time still p!sses me off far more than acceptable for any sane person ! |  | | |

His business model of selling jumpers with the Benetton label and telling everyone that they were getting luxury items did not transfer very well to football. | |

Cannot wait for the episode of Dean Smith's Justice League after they've been relegated, with Captain Jack jumping ship before they sink. |

That current bottom three has a doomed look to me.
Interesting that after the first game back everyone was saying how fit Palace looked - they have gone on to lose 4 on the bounce. Others saying Spuds in crisis but they have lost one and drawn one of the post lockdown games- more that Jose has bored everyone to tears. |  | | |

I used to like Villa - they had no Zulus, great away trip and there was once a brilliant piece written by a Villa fan (Tony Elms( about being a Villa fan in a book of collected writings by various fans.
But they employed a proven racist, made him captain and then made him assistant manager.
I have no respect for them right now. They can not get relegated enough this season. Once will not do me. |  |

He's just so fcking shameless.
I would think, and as we know I know nothing about it, it's the exact opposite of what you want in a manager isn't it? Isn't a 'no excuses culture' what you're going for? You want your players to take responsibility for themselves and the team, to be brave and decisive, not to always be blaming this referee or that injustice or the other, coming off defeats thinking they're ok because some weird and wonderful stat says actually you should have won.
Before we get to expected goals and VAR and referees maybe ask why he's spent £100m on players and Villa are no better than they were 12 months ago in the Championship.
Maybe ask why Jack Grealish is still being indulged and allowed to ponse about 60 yards away from the goal where he can't hurt teams, allowing sides to deliberately trip him up in neutral positions limiting his affect - Smith has been bitching and moaning about referees protecting him more for literally two years now, park him on the edge of the box and they can't do it can they? Somebody else's fault again.
I'll never forget that 2-2 at ours. Dominates the whole game, 2-0 up, still slinging strikers and attacking midfielders on ten minutes from time, concede twice in injury time and come out afterwards basically blaming QPR for pumping it up to Matt Smith, like it's somehow cheating and not allowed. Another one he laid squarely at the referee's feet if I recall correctly.
I like a lot of his philosophy and how his teams play but my god he drives me up the bloody wall. | | | |

Smith, who is like every Villa fan I've ever met, encapsulates my general antipathy to them. Pss and moan and whinge endlessly while being ludicrously defensive about any reasonable criticism. Also know fck all about the wider game outside their delusional big club bubble. Brum are nastier cnts but at least they're down to earth, so pick your poison it's all the same really.
(I appreciate pre Taylor Report impressions will be very different though.) [Post edited 10 Jul 2020 14:35]

So far the only times I've really felt Warbs sliding into it was Cardiff away when he insisted a 3-0 defeat with 70% of the ball was actually not such a bad thing because we were doing the right things. I guess he'd tell you we subsequently beat the same team 6-1 playing the same way. And on Wednesday, when he seems to think we were one Ilias Chair miss away from a glorious and deserved victory. | | | |
