Three bits of trivia……Aston Villa

Aston Villa V Everton is the most played top flight match in English League history

Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur current tie on having the most England Internationals during their histories (73)

Aston Villa is the only English Club to have won the League Title in the 1,800’s and to have won the European Cup / Champions League

Who know’s it may just work….

 

Some recent bets (no luck so far but not a bad return on 25p)

 

Well is this not, from our humble point of view, not a bad start to the season - this is despite our team failing to register a win yet and the early start to the season.

Chelsea, the reigning champions looking fro from infallible, Man Utd's bad form against Swansea continuing, teams like Leicester having such a good start and our own tip top of the shop with a 100% record.

In other divisions the fun continues with our second favourite team Leyton Orient doing well, and other tips such as Sheffield Utd having a good start. (Although Notts County not so hot at the moment)  For reference our tips for Prem / Camp / 1 and 2 0r 1-4 as we preferred was: Man City, Brighton, Sheff Utd and Notts County.

Fun part

So the season has started, too early for our old fashioned point of view (despite our fist accumulator win) for it is still the summer holidays. Then again English Summer is about as predictable as my footy predictions and makes about as much sense as your average football pundit.

 

Now for our rant….not only such a n early start to the season but the Community Shield hailed as a major trophy please establishment go back to having a less competitive and more Charity competition and played August Bank Holiday as a season opener.

 

Oh how we do pine for the old days, interesting pundits like Clough, Allison and the like, no Champions League but the European Cup – knock out from the start with no doggy lives into the Europa and the Cup Winners’ Cup for the holders of the respective nations cup. As for this Premiership, Championship business – it’s the top four divisions so does it not make more sense to call them 1^st, 2^nd 3^rd and 4^th??

 

Well rant over now for the promised lighter side of the game,,,,,,,,,,,,
