Sob On The Tyne, went the bedsheets hanging from the Holte End on the day we left the Premier League. "Goodbye Geordies, you won't be missed," crowed their fans on every radio phone-in later that night.
We might have done the same in their position, but you'll forgive me if I don't feel the slightest bit of sympathy for Aston Villa this morning. A place in lower mid-table and a half-empty stadium await. In a league increasingly based on the size of your owner's sovereign investment fund it's the only place they belong.

I quite like O'Neill, though. The wife worked with his wife, briefly, in Glasgow in 2002 or thereabouts. She's a very nice person. Villa will flounder now.
I'm absurdly optimistic about our prospects. Mind you, I have been absurdly optimistic every season since the late 60s.
I agree, the loss of O'Neill at this stage of the season will be devistating for Villa. Almost as mad as sacking a manager 4 games into a new season...
Lets see if they get villified (pun intended) in the same way that NUFC did...
The answer to that is no.
Not deluded at all, Villa fans, pissed off cos O'Neill couldn't take them any higher than sixth.
