Villa Fans - We Know The Feeling!
Aston Villa fans paid top money for tickets and transport, then arrived at Man City to find their gaffa had decided to put out the reserve side. Oh yes, we've seen the same so many times in recent years, and if the truth was known ... THAT was why Mike Ashley sacked Chris Hughton. We start the season knowing we cannot win the Premiership, but there is always the dream of Wembley and winning either the League or FA Cup. So isn't it 'respect' to the competition to at least go out with all guns blazing? I cannot understand why managers - Hughton in our case - don't give their supporters a cat-in-hell's chance of glory. We have three competitions to go for, so why the hell did Hughton ruin the chance of winning the two we could seriously have a crack at? More than 2,000 Villa fans went to Manchester and saw their team fall behind four minutes into the game, and that was their chance gone for another season.
