Well what have we done since 1981? Hmmmmm.

Let me think, has Aston Villa done ANYTHING since 1981. Gosh. Oh Bingo! Just remembered one.

We were Champions of Europe in 1982. I knew there was something!

Oh also:


European Super Cup Winners 1982
Premier League Runners Up 1993
League Cup Winners 1994
League Cup Winners 1996
FA Cup Runners Up 2000
League Cup Runners Up 2010
FA Cup Runners Up 2015
League Cup Runners Up 2020

Suprised as the hatred and ignorance on here from Everton Fans. We're such similar clubs and Everton usually highly regarded on our forums.

Not sure if links work on here but this is a fascinating watch that shows how our clubs have basically dominated League Football (invented by Aston Villa thanks to William McGregor) in this country for most of history, with Sunderland also in and about us for long periods too.

Most of the "big 6" are fairly recent interlopers. It's only since the formation of The Premier League we've really dropped out of that elite group.


Why have you listed finals that you lost?
 
Same reason as why the official Everton website lists finals you have lost and league runners up spots as official club honours. Most clubs do, check out your own website.
Yeah but I think you know the original question when asked what have you done refers to what have you won, nobody really remembers who lost in a final.
 

Villa fan in peace ( I think ? )

Only signed up, due to some of the absolute madness and vitriol I've seen linked on our forum, coming from Everton fans.

I thought that historically, we had a mutual respect for each other, based on the similar history and stature of the respective clubs. We were always pretty much neck and neck ( Until our decline before relegation ) and you lot were a relatively well run club which went on to do much better than us in recent years, obviously.

So i've always had a soft spot for Everton, why the hate?

What's wrong with the club trying to be ambitious? It's a simple yes or no ain't it? Everton and Richarlison can either laugh off and reject the interest, or accept it. ( That is if there is even any truth to this transfer rumour, as most Villa fans don't think it makes any sense ).

Wouldn't you agree that clubs only improve, by trying to sign players which are " Above their station " on paper ?

The owners are ambitious and trying to " give it a proper go "

I agree, Everton and Villa have similar records and are old big clubs
but there is still no chance Richarlison signs for you or Slippy

If Wolves were linked with an £80 million move for Watkins would you not laugh as well mate?

Why would Watkins make a sideways move to Wolves?

Why would Richarlison make a sideways move to Villa?

Theres your answer why we are laughing. We aint a Burnley or Norwich you think you can just come in and take our best players. If they leave they go to a CL club just the way it is.

You finished 14th last season - spending loads of money means nothing look at us.

You get one player from us thanks to the FSW and you think you can sign them all? lol

You only signed the Brazilian because of Slippy G he wouldn't normally even look in your direction. Zero chance of signing Richarlison he would never play for a RS

Hello mate it’s probably from Twitter and therefore I’d ignore it. For some reason there’s some very peculiar people on that app who take enjoyment from winding other fanbases up, proper saddos.

I don’t mind Villa apart from that bad period when O’Neill was your Manager and some of your fans tried to create a rivalry with us despite being a yo yo tribe of slow talking yokels mate. Seems to have passed since relegation brought you some needed humility.

Wishing you well for your new season once your Manager gets hit by a passing Boeing.

Good points.

However in our defense, the final League placing is a bit of a " False equivalency " due to Manager change, performances and disruptions ( Losing our best player, management and coaching changes, injuries etc. ( Since he who I know better than to name on this site, lol , has been in charge, we are/were 9th in the form table, and have actually been unlucky with alot of results. We're a couple of players short of being a very good side, we've had some glaring holes for a few seasons which have not been addressed, until now. IMO ( Yes i know, it's not a great deal better and has nothing to do with the ACTUAL League placing )

I'll be honest about the reasons why players make " sideways " moves. Firstly, as you probably know, agents play a massive part, then silly money, the " The Project ". The likes of Kamara, Coutinho, Carlos all could have gone to CL clubs.

The other part is down to Richarlison himself, he might want to leave for a CL club, but will the interested CL club want to pay the fee and wages he would want? ( Will the " sideways club " ? )

Your board and Manager obviously too, play a part, what if after a poor season by your standards, they've simply decided they want to cash in on elements of your team for a rebuild, and will sell to whoever matches their evaluation?

For all you know, you could have better players than Richarlison lined up to sign yourself, for half the money.

The reasons why we will undoubtedly start to see Newcastle pluck players they " Have no right to be signing " from all over the place. It ain't because they are a CL club is it?
