Collymore at it again
His agenda right now on Talksh!te is the old City haven't earned it (again!)... sugardaddies... when the Sheik walks away... we were in the Third Division "six years ago" (demonstrating a lack of knowledge about our history)... Villa won the European Cup with 14 British players... bah, blah... drone, drone...
I don't know why I listen to this dross. It appears that everyone who goes on has to agree with him. Does he really want to preserve the status quo? The rags to win everything for every more? Or Liverpool? Or Chelsea? Or anyone? But us!
And why? Because we've bought it. We somehow haven't earned success and never will do in his eyes; most Blues of my age have been to most grounds in the country, not to join some 92 Club, but to support our own club.
Yes, Villa's achievement was great all those years ago, as was Forest's, but only a madman would invest in tired old Villa and I presume that madman is Randy Lerner. His real argument should be with the American billionaire Lerner, who spends next to nowt at Villa, not with us.
But how dare he say that Liverpool and the rags earned it, as if they never bought anyone, including Stanley himself, for a then club record of £8.5 million...
Whisper it, but we really don't care where the money comes from, any more than any other fan at any other club, who suddenly hits the jackpot.
(Memo to Mods: in my seething anger I didn't spot the Talksport thread! Soz.)
