Villa have had a total of 105 seasons in the top flight, second only to Everton with 113, and 28 consecutive seasons since 1988/9 behind only Arsenal, Everton, Liverpool, United & Spurs. That is a considerable post WW1 and WW2 achievement.

The demise of big clubs is not uncommon, just the way it is, but we should look at previous European Champions like Villa, Leeds, Newcastle and Forest in particular and reflect. Sic transit gloria mundi.well they wont be in it next year hehe hehe

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.
Fairs Cup winners like Newcastle.Leeds?
and when Ron Saunders was manager (after he was manager with City when we lost to Wolves in 74)They also won the League Cup when Sir Joe was their manager.
Don't think anyone's arguing they're not a big club, just that Collymore makes himself look stupid by regularly banging on about them being up there in the top five when 90% of their achievements were before WW1. Collymore's main point is that they've won the league more times than all but three other clubs but fails to point out that six out of seven of their titles happened before anyone under 105 was born.Villa have had a total of 105 seasons in the top flight, second only to Everton with 113, and 28 consecutive seasons since 1988/9 behind only Arsenal, Everton, Liverpool, United & Spurs.
