I agree with you. Not because they're too small to be in the Premier league, but because bankrolling a club's ridiculous wage bill while not investing in their infrastructure shouldn't have been allowed.
We all thought Villa were gone 2 games ago.
To be fair, Watford will probably lose to Arsenal and Villa could well lose to West Ham - both are away. Not sure Bournemouth will win at Everton of course but then again Villa nearly managed it.
That VAR shambles - where the Villa keeper carried that Sheffield United shot about 6 feet over his own goal line - is going to end up saving Villa isn't it?
