[Football] Aston Villa - Probably the most powerful football team in the world...
Ok well I was bored and I thought hey lets switch on the news. Upon switching it on I saw the ever charismatic David Cameron speaking about how he like real ale, the occasional ciggarette and he supports Aston Villa. Now lets put aside for a second hes an old etonian, I for the first time found myself warming to a tory.
Next we have the future king of england. Prince William. He has publically stated his is a villa fan, which once again makes me support the royals, hell if he supports villa that can only be a good thing right?
Finall we move onto Mervyn King, the top bloke at the bank of England. Once again another famous villa fan.
So IF Charles died on the plane back from the USA today, the queen dies and a new general election takes place in a couple of weeks with cameron as the tory leader and if he gets elected then Aston Villa fans have some control.
We will control the Houses of Parliament.
We will control the Royal Family.
We will control the Bank of England.
Three institutions that make England. So do you think these villa fans will get togehter and abuse there powers?
I can imagine prince william getting on the phone and going
"3 pnts today or your all in the tower"
or Mervyn King going to Doug Ellis
"Step down as chairman or ill ask to look at your accounts"
or David Cameron saying
"Im going to push a bill through the commons whereby Aston Villa get a public budget of £100 million a year plus get a 40 point advantage in the premiership"
Ohhhh this is so much more exciting than the thought of being taken over by some irish or a vodka drinking russian billionaire.

Deadly Doug is obviously keeping away all those people who'd invest billions in villa!
Seriously, he's not the best chairman in the world, but Villa are unlikely to find anyone better.

I know hes not the best, and to be honest I respect him to a certain extent. Hell Aston Villa is a great club. We arent in debt, we make profit and have a shit load of assets, the management of the club is good. And in all fairness he is giving D'OL rougly 10 million a season to spend, which could be worse. But he lacks ambition. Its as though he doesnt want the club to go anywhere, but border on mid table. However I hope we dont go down :/

Re: [Football] Aston Villa - Probably the most powerful football team in the world...
what was that joke where a kid was removed from his house because his parents beat him, refused to go to his aunt, grandparents or any other family because they also beat him, and ended up being looked after at Aston Villa because he said that they couldn't beat anyone?

Much better and bigger teams have been relegated before than Aston Villa. Theyre a good bet for the drop, theres usually a "suprise"

When Villa take over England, Abramovich will move Chelsea to Chukotka and the FA Cup will become a contest for Anglo-Russian supremacy

Arsenal, Liverpool and Everton have always avoided the drop since being promoted to top flight football.

Re: [Football] Aston Villa - Probably the most powerful football team in the world...
I was more thinking of Leeds. They were a more interesting team to watch and actually achieved something above mid table mediocracy (if only fleetingly). Or if you want to talk historically, Man utd.

Well that says something.
I won't bother to argue why Liverpool or Arsenal are much better than Man Utd historically.

Well to be honest Historically Aston Villa is one of the bigger teams in the country.
1 of 4 teams in England to of won the European Cup, the other 3 are Forest, Liverpool and Man Utd.
We have won the league 8 times.
We have won the FA Cup 7 times.
We have won the League Cup 5 times.
We were also one of the teams who founded the Football league, which incidently was founded in Aston.
As far as Leeds Utd go, they
They have won the league 3 times.
FA cup once.
Im sure you can say that Aston Villa is considerably a bigger club than dirty leeds, whos reputation as team which uses the tactics of fouling, being rude and unmannered sitll today. Good riddance to them.
Aston Villa is one of the biggest teams, just our recent performences dont back that up. Hopefully in the future it will change.

Forest/Weymouth for HT/FT is 25-1.
Knowing how we've played this season it's worth a flutter...

Re: [Football] Aston Villa - Probably the most powerful football team in the world...
Weve had some shite displays but weve also played really well some matches where we shouldve won, against Tottenham etc.
I got full confidence that we will move up the table once we can get a settled first 11 with McCann, Baros and Bouma.

Re: [Football] Aston Villa - Probably the most powerful football team in the world...
just dont rely on mcCann, tommy and kev keeping u up. To my mind villa are hit and miss, they can be brilliant or awful, there doesnt seem to be much in the middle. Atleast its better than being consistantly awful...

And there was me getting annoyed by Arsenal for losing a game they should have won (v West Brom) and the fact they can't compete in the transfer market or sign anyone super-ace for the squad like everyone else (pointing at Chelsea).
I wonder how you Sunderland fans feel losing week in, week out......

Re: [Football] Aston Villa - Probably the most powerful football team in the world...
we play birmingham pig, so i expect u to support sunderland in our search for a win!
it would be good if you beat charlton too as we play them in 3 games time.
Villa away is sunderlands last game of the season, so hopfully u'll be midtable by then and not needing to win too much...
Arsenal are great, thierry henry applauded us (sunderland supporters) when u beat us 3-1 at highbury... i liked that

Re: [Football] Aston Villa - Probably the most powerful football team in the world...
bumping this thread to make it easier for NB3 to find, not for any particular reason of course, I mean Aston Villa allegedly are "the most powerful football team in the world" while Doncaster Rovers are but a lowly league one outfit.
