Louie Barry - “It feels great to arrive at a proper big club. The experience at Barça was great but it was just a way to get out of #WBA. The whole club is amateurish from top to bottom and the fan base is full of inbreds.” #AVFC [Birmingham Mail]
@dave60776@wusstasorce Villa fans know exactly what we won. You know exactly what we mean. You’re just pretending language has only one meaning because the trophy cabinet at Small Heath has been running on fumes for decades. You lot still go on about winning a second tier competition 14 years ago…
@dave60776@wusstasorce Ah, you see, have you ever heard the phrase “can’t see the wood for the trees”…? Every Blues fan talks that much shite it’s impossible to tell satire from delusion.
@dave60776@wusstasorce 🤣 a high end estimate of our wage bill is €160m so not quite…besides, someone compared Freiburg’s wage bill (just one team we played out of 15) to Rayo’s….which is pretty fucking stupid, tbh.
@wusstasorce@dave60776 We also beat Fenerbahce away, with Skriniar, Ederson, Fred, Asensio, Talisca, Alvarez, Duran in it. Apparently that’s roughly €118m annually in wages.
@VillaLeeAV And…Palace won the FA Cup to fully warrant their place in the Conference League. PL teams play pretty gruelling seasons even if they’re not in Europe. When you chuck the new formats into the mix too, you have players playing 50+ games.
@DanielHensel01@2707KRO@ClintM83@SinceSmallHeath@SinceVilla@AVFCOfficial@BCFC The other thing he missed is, O’Neill had just left Villa and that season was the beginning of our fall from grace AND West Ham were so good, they actually got relegated with the Blues that same year. So alongside the Rochdale scalp they played two pretty poor PL teams.
@2707KRO THE is singular, there’s more than one European competition…Arsenal weren’t the champions of their respective league when they entered it…most of the teams in it didn’t win their domestic league.
tO WiN tHe lEaGuE cUP yOu hAvE to bEaT tHE tOp tEamS - One side conquered Europe over 15 matches.
The other beat Rochdale on a Tuesday, got relegated and acts like they completed football. 🤝
@2707KRO I know Europe is a foreign concept to Blues fans but there’s 3 European tournaments. Arsenal play PSG in the Champions League, the same tournament we are in next year and reached the quarter finals of last year.
