Kind of fear the likes of Barcelona or Madrid will take notice over the next 18-24 months if he continues in that vein.

Dear Aston Villa,
I’m not sure where to start... so many memories and so many fun ones at that. You were once the giants of English football. You had William McGregor on your board, who was the founder of the football league way back in 1888. In recent memory we beat Bayern Munich to win the European cup. Hell, the season after, we were the European Super Cup winners as we beat Barcelona...YES its true... BARCELONA!!!!
We were one of the founding members of the Premier League too, back in 1992. The first season of the Prem league we finished runners up to Manchester United. In 1994 we beat Manchester United 3-1 in the league cup final. I remember Saunders and Atkinson scoring the goals and we thought we were amazing. We then won the cup again in 1996 against Leeds, with Taylor and my school boy favourites Dwight Yorke & Savo Milosevic scoring. Once again we thought we were on the up.
I defended and stood up proudly for you in front of all of my cousins and friends as they all supported Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool. They watched Champions league football and cheered and smiled as their teams triumphed whilst I sat their dreaming that one day we may be there. They used to cuss the Villa team, the players and the managers we had, I still stood up for you.
We had mediocrity, but it was my teams mediocrity. WE were not that successful, but you were my unsuccessful team. We didn’t go into Europe and win cups again, but you were my underperforming team. However, somewhere along the way, you stopped being my team. You stopped trying, you showed no heart, no passion and no sign to us fans, that we deserved something better.
My team wouldn’t go 19 games without a win. My team would run their hearts out to just get a corner. Tackle in the opposing penalty box, not just when defending their own half. Jump higher than any other opposition player, just to win that header. They would hold their heads up high when the going got tough and not cower under pressure.
It is with a heavy heart that I say good bye from the league we ultimately founded way back when. It is with a heavy heart, that deep down I know it is what needs to happen. The players that are there do not care about the club as much as the fans do. I don’t expect them to, as for them it’s a place to work. What I do expect though, is for the players to respect the fans and the club and show ambition to want to do well. I have not seen that.
These players will leave when the season is over and I hope we will give the youth academy a chance. These are players that want to prove their worth and want to do well for Villa, not just for their pay packet.
I want to see the determination and stature of McGrath. I want to see the composure of Laursen. I want to see the passing of Cowans, the smiles and goals of Dwight Yorke. I want to see the skill and flamboyance of Morley and a manager who gave as much as Brian Little.
This is our chance to change OUR club for the better. To get rid of the owner who doesn’t really care anymore. To get rid of the players who do not care anymore and to BRING BACK the passion and fight that made us fall in love with this wonderful club

What a pass though, Alderweireld has to be the best CB in the league this season. Its no coincidence that we have the best defensive record in the league after his arrival. £10m or whatever it was is a steal.

Him & Koscielny are the best in the Prem atm imo. Smalling was up there but I think his purple patch has ended (despite still playing well).

Got to say, they deserve to go down. I know I say this a lot, but they have some absolute tossers of fans. And a big majority of them. Went to a couple Villa games last year and the impatience and stuck upness (couldn't think of a better word and it's late), is so annoying. For some reason they believe they should be playing some Barca style football, behave.

I'm sure it's not exclusive to an set of fans.

Sunderland are having arguably there biggest period of sustained success ever, and they're fans are moaning. Swansea fans are moaning about the board, how Jenkins is an idiot etc., I'm sure Southampton fans will be unhappy when they probably limp to 15th.

All fans are like that. Fans of your club would be absolutely insufferable if you were threatened with relegation.

Curious that Liverpool got linked this morning with Mario Gotze, who in a seemingly new LFC tradition is injured atm.

Probably about as annoying as when they were going to win the Premier League for the neutrals or something.
