I missed mentioning yesterday that Aston Villa won again. That's three in a row and a third consecutive clean sheet. While the fans on the old social media cheer the good run and celebrate manager Steve Bruce as the saviour I reflect on what the last three results will bring: nothing. Except for a higher position in the Championship. As I said a few days ago there is only one reason for being in the second tier of English football: to get into the Premier League. Even little Burton Albion who are already exceeding their own expectations would probably love to go one step further and reach the promised land. I just see another season outside of the Premier League for Aston Villa. Even though I do get disgruntled with professional football and dream of following smaller, amateur teams I do still enjoy watching the best compete. And if I support a professional team (and I do) then I want them to be competing to win something. And that something is not a mid-table spot in the Championship.
And that may be my last public mention of Aston Villa for a while. But I don't promise.
I wonder what I will be saying about them in 466 days from now.
