Only catching up on this thread. Villa have won 1 league title 1 FA Cup and the European Cup in the last 95 years. Their trophy haul consists of a bag full in the 1890's - to consider this an indication of size is ridiculous.

I think that's not correct they've won more than that.

true but misleading - they are one of the oldest and most successful football clubs in England, having won the First Division Championship seven times and the FA Cup seven times; overall, they have won 21 major honours.[2] In 1982 the club became one of only five English clubs to win the European Cup.[3]

Another week and they could begin to look at winning next season's Championship! I wonder if the guy who was flashing a pile of Monopoly money when GazBaz was takin' that corner still goes and watches!!

Yet cretins still listen and fall for his wind-ups, then get angry on Bluemoon.

Collymore isn't bright enough to manage a wind-up, in the same way that Parry & Durham do. I suspect he genuinely believes the shite he spouts.

 

[I'm no cynic but...]

But then he started saying that Bolton were a bigger club than Leicester based on their points in the PL since inception.
He asks questions about a minute long and then cuts off the caller after about 10 seconds when they try to respond.

This big club small argument is irrelevant in the real world as proven by the success of Wanderers in the 1800's. They were a dominant force in the early days of the FA Cup, winning it five times. This equals our own haul and is great than the vast majority of the football league's 92 clubs and using Collybore's own reckoning, this would make Wanderers a 'big club' even though they went into decline and went around 120 years without playing before reforming in 2009.

 

[moenchengladbach blau]

I think the first use of the expression 'big club' emanated from our dear friends down the road as a trumpet blowing exercise.

Big club = implement to hit Collymore over the head with.

Misleading ???? Villa have won the league once, the FA Cup once and a European Cup once during the last 90 years. They have averaged an attendance over 40,000 once in the last 75 years and that was 40,039 !!!!

One of the oldest clubs yes....one of the most successful when the game was starting out yes. Lets see how their attendances pan out next year.
