Because they were using vandalism as the excuse for why they charged Villa £55 a few years ago

A Villa fan on Twitter pointed out that Blues charged them £55 once

True, and in that sense 2023 was the missed opportunity. As a group of fans, we would've accepted the relegation back down to the Championship, and then enjoyed the first season back down. If we did that now there would be a sense of entitlement from us

You enjoy championship football because we’re now a decent team in this division. A single PL season, done correctly, would cement our place at the top end of the Championship for several years to come

Which is fine. That’s the model. Every rebuild makes us stronger. This squad is far better than the one that got to the playoffs in 2023

It was 23 starts I think, which is half the season. I like Sheaf. On his day a great player. However last season I don’t remember him having a single stand out game. Yet we still got to the play offs. My point is he isn’t the crucial part of the team that he was a few years ago. The Sheaf...

In fairness Mr Bean in goal with Stan & Ollie at CBs could make our goalie and defence look like children

I think after this season the financial regs will start to hit them if they stay up

Good memories for us, but right that he leaves now. Especially if that money is going back into the team Right now we need to improve the defence over having depth in midfield

We would’ve still conceded that goal

Desperately need improvements in the defence

Yes. Lampard needs to explain why he told Rushworth to let in that second goal

We keep signing keepers who turn out to be shite. There is a problem somewhere else
