No is is disparaging the FA Cup win. Just that it was easier for Sillett to take an established top flight team and win the cup than it was for Robins to take a club on the verge of extinction back to the PL. The top ten thing is a bit silly. Bobby Gould & Phil Neal were only 1 point off...

One thing I would say is Robins got lucky as to when he took over. Sisu were so hated that almost all frustration over a bad performance was directed at them rather than him

But the thing is JH didn’t have to deal with that. We can’t judge on hypotheticals. Otherwise we could say that Phil Neal would’ve coped just as well with what Robins has had to deal with

Not after we’d already been in the division for 20 years. Thinking that an established top flight team finishing in the top 10 is a success is exactly the mentality that has held us back for the past 50 years

Sorry, not 24, I meant 25 & 26

Evidenced by the fact that Wimbledon won it the year after. Didn’t Oxford & Luton win the league cup around that time as well?

24, 25, 13, 4, and 5

I’d say Robins is the best. Jimmy Hill did a great job, but he was backed by a supportive chairman. Plus it was in an era where money wasn’t so important. Sillett again did a great job. But we were an established top flight team. Winning the FA cup was something that we should’ve been...

Block 31 down to single seats already

Blues will have 6-10. 11 & 12 will be segregation. But no reason at all that 13 can’t be opened up for home fans

Looking that way. Block 31 is not far off full already

I get that opening blocks 11 & 12 will be difficult given how many tickets they’ve already allocated to Brum. But as you say there’s no reason at all for 13 not to be open. Or blocks 4 & 5.

Just looked it up and West Midlands Police have allowed Villa an average crowd of 97.6% this season. 96.7% of the CBS is 31.5K So unless they are showing Brum bias, I really don't see why our crowd won't be 30k+

You are drunk mate. He's not the best manager in the Championship. He's the best manager in the entire 92. Not a single other manager has achieved anything under the circumstances that he has had to deal with. Once he retires he needs a statue, and I think I have found the perfect image. How...

I think those Boylesports banners must take up more seats than we realise

Tell the Police to Foxtrot Oscar. The stadium has a valid safety certificate to allow 32k football spectators in. It is up to the club as to how many tickets they sell providing they stay within the limit in the safety certificate. The Police only advise. They're useless anyway. They all...

Nerves can sometimes affect the atmosphere. Those games earlier in the season didn't really have anything riding on them, so we could just enjoy it. Today meant something, and you could feel the tension in the ground. The noise at the final whistle was immense. JD was reading out the scores and...

So technically it’s a sell out right now, as in all available tickets have been sold 😂 They need to clear those Boylesports banners, open blocks 11, 12, & 13, and get 31k in there

Once Block 31 sells out I imagine they wil

Up there with "battering people in court"
