At the end of the day Villa have 8 first team players out injured. 2 season Enders. Fielding a weakened side and then playing so openly was never gonna end well.

👏👏👏 my thoughts exactly. I think we’ll likely see a drop off but the media talk this summer has been borderline insulting to Newcastle. We’re a decent team. We look like we’ve been smart in the market. We’ve been in top 4 form for 1.5 seasons now. We finished the season before last in the form that Villa were in but no one was saying we’d do anything last year. Suddenly the pundits are all hyping Villa for CL. Villa are a good team but it’s unnecessary pressure on them (rather them than us though). Carragher on the Overlap downplaying our transfers because we spent £40m on a proven PL winger rather than £60+ on a foreign unknown. I don’t think we’ll repeat last season but I do think we’re capable of it. Whoever gets those 5 CL spots it’s gonna be hard won for sure. City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Man U, Chelsea, Villa, Spurs, Brighton and Newcastle……buckle up. We’re in for a silly season of football.
