Aston Villa's Champions League prices should put all the Man Utd squabbling into some perspective...for one afternoon at least.
Aston Villa ’s Champions League prices should put all the Man Utd squabbling into some perspective…for one afternoon at least. Aston Villa got into the top tier of European competition, the Champions League, for the first time in 41 years. The club is celebrating its 150th anniversary. The team are on the up, the fanbase is the most excited it has been in a long, long time and everything was looking good.
And stop bitching about “progress”. The only progress Arsenal have had is winning the FA Cup in year 1 to not winning jacksh*t for 3 years. Liverpool also were “progressing” for 30 years till they actually won the league. City progressed from an FA Cup win to a league title under Mancini, that’s actual progress. Chelsea did the same under Mourinho, Liverpool under Klopp. Success means actual real tangible success like winning. Not made-up nonsense about always being oh so close.
I have spent a good 11 years watching crap at 3am on working days every week when playing in Europe at all levels, and happy to watch them do it for the rest of my life, but doesn’t mean I’ll accept that failure is good mate. Have some standards for f***’s sake. I would rather see Arsenal win than City take 5 in a row, but you gutless lot ain’t winning sh*t.
Man Utd have the resources and then sone to follow suit, they just haven’t had the patience to build properly. The constant pursuit for instant success is our biggest Achilles heel and has resulted in huge wasted expenditure for an unrealised hope of short term gain. Of course, you should have bought Allison, R Dias, Saliba, Rodri, Odegaard, Salah and Haaland managed by Pep *and* Ancelotti except none of them would have gone anywhere near you!“What’s that mate, I can hardly hear you.”Tbh, I thought the writing was on the wall when you couldn’t hang onto early prime Ronaldo.
Crazy thought – maybe constant savage criticism doesn’t lead to optimum performance? Maybe give them a chance to get a settled first team together and things should improve? People forget how good his first season was, and how bad the season was before he arrived, or the fact we hadn’t won a trophy in five seasons prior to his arrival. Sure, he could have finished 8th with an FA cup win & came 8th with no trophy the next year, or 8th and two lost finals his first year, followed by no trophies and fourth his second, but he’s doing alright all things considered.
Before thoughts quickly turn to Nations League stuff, may I express how amazed I was by the wild spectrum of cascading takes on Liverpool’s recent visit to Manchester? But beneath so much good there is also some god-awful tripe lurking in this mailbox, like some whom decidedly troll and add very little nutrition, and others innocently misguided but managing to condescend all the same. Then still, there are those who seem overly and/or consistently emotional, deluded, unhinged even .
Yet the same ownership had priors with Schweinsteigers of the world , yet also recently shipped McTominay out under pretense of supposed PSR constraints. And now some PSG cast-off is meant to play savior and perform a Harry Potter, as one would say. It’s incredibly shoddy all round, but I love that people write in arguing one sole rationale or the other, as if zero sum opinions are the height of insightful analysis.
