Not bad for a Friday night on the box.

Excellent, and to be honest I would be suprised if they had not, they should always be a top 10 Premier League club if run properly, which they have not been for some time.
Looking forward to this game greatly.
Agreed but also many will make the weekend of it, when did they last play Brighton away?
Friday night in Brighton after the game should be fun.

Never understand this, especially not from a BHA fan. By the same token I guess a well run Mansfield Town should always be a middling Division Two club.
They've got the history, the fanbase, the stadium. No way should Villa be dossing around at the arse end of the second division, but they've been chronically mismanaged from the top for years now. I agree with [MENTION=206]Marshy[/MENTION], a club the size of Villa SHOULD be consistently top half of the PL.
Fortunately it doesn't work like that. When you add on all the other big clubs (including Sheff Wed, Wolves, Leeds, Forest, etc) who 'should' be in the Prem, maybe even the top half, there will be no room for the likes of us.They've got the history, the fanbase, the stadium.

That's all very well, but isn't it great that they AREN'T? Can't we embrace the fact that it's great to see these 'SHOULD' teams not being where they're apparently 'supposed' to be for once rather than harking on about some established order being disturbed by teams like Villa and Newcastle having the incompetent audacity to fall from, not just the top half of the PL, but out of the PL altogether?

There's no 'should' about it. Villa are exactly where they deserve to be.

Villa are a huge club for this league.
