It's hilarious to think that one of us is going to be playing in the Champions League next season.
Well with a new proper manager and coaching staff, plus a couple of quality transfers, we can do more than ok in it.

You are so right with the Villa and Emery analogy. In less than 3 seasons they have gone from possible relegation to top 4 and CL while we have gone in the opposite direction. I wonder what Levy thinks when he sees opposite fortunes. I think we all know the answer to that... he doesn't care. He would probably say but are they as wealthy as us?You really can’t see the wood for the trees can you?
Whether Chelsea get in the CL or not they will keep spending. Villa on the other hand are financially stretched. If they miss out on the CL they will have to trim their squad and be a little less ambitious. If they get CL it will ease their financial situation and they will continue to progress.
Two and a half years ago when Emery joined them they were in danger of relegation whist we were in the top 4 contention. Their owners are ambitious and willing to put their money where their mouth is; ours are not. We don’t need to help them to pull away from us.if we get CL and they don’t we have a chance of catching them. If they get CL again and we don’t we are screwed.
