Why do foreign coaches (even good ones) do this? It’s maybe a bit passè talking about ‘disrespecting’ the competition but it’s a fact that fans (particularly this far into a competition) want to see their team go on. Villa fans would have loved Wembley trip and win. Ha feckin ha.
And yet the final 8 are all Premier League - and I think there were only two non-PL in the last 16 out of it. Gap is a chasm.
This far in?
They got a bye to round 3. They'd only played one game.
Win tonight and they’d have been in the quarters. Pretty close.
bluearmyfactionOh, I don't know why they’re leaving
Or where they’re gonna go
I guess they’ve got their reasons
It’s another trophy blown
Cos for twenty twenty-four
They’ve been getting knocked out by Palace
😂👌
With Man city out that was the best route to silverware this season for vile and they have blown it.
But it’s only a shit trophy … untill they win it like they thought the Europa conference league last year when they was booking hotels for the final thinking they was nailed on to win it the year before they was slagging West Ham off for winning it saying it was a shit trophy
b34bluesHow ironic. Williams team being knocked out by the palace!But it’s only a shit trophy … untill they win it like they thought the Europa conference league last year when they was booking hotels for the final thinking they was nailed on to win it the year before they was slagging West Ham off for winning it saying it was a shit trophy

Three I think. Stoke, Sheffield Wednesday and Preston.
newblueYou’ve got to be in it to win it
You don’t say.
Congrats on knocking out one of the 19th centuries most successful football teams.

Aren't some of our fans booking hotels for the BSM trophy final, talk about arrogance, forget the villa. We can hate them as much as we want, but we have to catch them first.
We can hope in a few years it will be us knocking them out of cups.
Sheep2Exactly. It’s as much of a farce as us playing under 21 teams. Playing in Europe should mean you’ve got a bigger, better squad than most and also under 21 teams who play in a competition to give them a taste of playing senior teams, so use your better ones if needed. Every one in on Round 1. Use byes to get to 64 teams in Round 2This far in?
