Villa fans

Which is why when people say winning the European Cup was a bigger achievement than the Champions League they are talking utter bollocks, as if 32 league champions represent the best 32 clubs in Europe.
Very true mate, although tbf, back then, players generally played in their own league with a few exceptions, and invariably the top two or three teams (in some cases, the vast majority of the top team) made up most of the national team, so the quality wasn’t quite as poor as it looks on paper in a lot of cases (still agree though).
 
The sooner Villa fans realise that their one and only league title since the Titanic sank was a complete fluke and only came about because the best team in the country at the time - Ipswich - had a fixture pile-up due to fighting for trophies on 3 fronts as opposed to 1 - the sooner we can have a constructive debate with them. No league title in 1981 of course means no European Cup in 1982. In any case, Forest have won the European Cup twice as many times as Villa and actually had to get past the European Cup holders - Liverpool - in the first round when they won it in 1979.
