Villa ignorance
I'll start this by saying I love SC (have been a subscriber since day 1) but I am genuinely getting to a point where I would consider giving up.
As a lifelong Villa fan I have gotten more and more pissed off with the lack of coverage, lack of respect to Emery's achievements and downright ignorance to a huge team who have been steadily rising year on year post Gerrard under very ambitious ownership.
Ken basically spits out their name with contempt. The 96% revenue to wages tripe is so out of date at this stage. Villa are working towarda the Uefa SCR ratio hence being quieter in the market by nescisity. No mention of the Uefa spending sanctions that they are working to exit this year, instead of 3.
Then Kens brainwave is for Newcastle to buy Ollie 11 days before the transfer window closes. The only senior striker the team who finished 6th, (on goal difference behind Newcastle) made it the the last 8 in the CL and FA cup semi final with no replacement lined up as they aim to get in CL again and win Europa league.
Give me a fucking break and show something more than the Sky 6 + Saudi chat.
Like balance isn't even possible, it's basically a united podcast with a good chunk of Liverpool for good measure, but come on. Give some more balanced opinion. There are plenty of Villa fans in Ireland, similar to Leeds and maybe more Irish fans than Spurs id say.
Anyone else feel increasingly irked by this?

Everyone wants more of their team. How much talk have Wolves, Bournemouth, Brighton, West Ham gotten in recent years when each of them had their good season.
