How would Aston Villa fare in the Champions league this year? Weâll never know. Just because Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Man United do well every year doesnât automatically mean that the next best team in the EPL will. Look at Everton as an example.
The logic your implying is that Arsenal are a great team because they beat Man United and Chelsea this year and therefore Aston Villaâs form, being only one point behind Arsenal, is good.
In reality Arsenal have already lost 5 games out of 15 this season which actually makes their form, for a potential champion, fairly poor. It doesnât really matter who theyâve beaten or been beaten by.
So, to recap KIB EPL Manâs points:
If Henrik Larsson speaks glowingly of Celtic, itâs to be ignored as heâs telling âporky piesâ due to his bias and relationship with the club but recent Villa signings doing similar at their club is conclusive proof that theyâre a club truly on the up with oceans of potential. No contradiction at all there.
Villaâs quality is proven by coming 16th, then 10th and then 6th in the EPL, whereas Celtic getting to a European Final and to the the last 16 of the Champions League is proof of poor quality.
Being the second best of the also rans behind Everton and getting the better of Blackburn and Boro is more impressive than advancement to the Champions League knock-out stages. Eh, okay then!
Villa should be judged on their result at Arsenal and not on their defeats to Stoke and others.
Itâs selective and subjective and driven by your desire to see Villa do well. Unfortunately, they havenât actually achieved anything of note yet, as opposed to Celtic. Why your frustration at Villaâs awfully modest recent achievements reflects itself in jibes against Celtic (many of them childish and petty - Hartson comment for example) has yet to be established. But there must be some underlying reason and Iâm willing to be your Dr Melfi - speak to me, poor misguided child.
[quote=âKIB manâ]Its quantifiable progress tho Bandage. Im sure an accountant like yourself can understand that concept. Being from the wilds of West Clare I dont really care too much about local Bâham bragging rights.
Maybe my view is biased but what view do you think Randy Lerner, MON, Petrov, Cuellar, A Young, L Young, Carew had of their potential before they signed up.[/quote]
Some basis for supporting a football club!

I thought his point was that Celticâs playing staff were mediocre?
Lads you can hardly accuse KIB of supporting villa for the glamour
Short term glory seeker was also thrown in my direction as well as a picture of a Jewish boy. Very strange
Well Georgy, as mentioned, the Celtic playing staff have advanced themselves to a European final and twice to the knock-out stage of the Champions League in the past 5 years so itâs an odd comment, especially when he constantly references Villa as being superior considering they have achieved nothing of note in years - unless you count tucking in behind Everton in the league as reason to pop open the champagne.
Iâve sent an e-mail to UEFA asking them who is better, Celtic or Villa. Iâll let you know when they come back to me.

Theyâre part of the world too HBV.
yes, part of the world that celtic inhabit maybe
Hoffenheim were leading the Bundesliga last time I checked - having a great season.
On the flipside, Iâll contradict my own argument

Villa in the top 25 but Celtic drop out.
You know what? I couldnât really give a shit but its entertaining reading all the same.
I would but to be fair to the lad he hasnt got one.
The Celtic playing staff that got to the European final?
Is that not significantly different to their squad now. That side wasnt bad. The side at the moment is muck
How many of the current Celtic playing staff would make the Villa side on current form?
That is my argument as to why Villa are miles ahead of Celtic at the moment and this imo only looks like increasing for the forseeable future.
