they would have been the only team in history to ever even compete for 8  Domestic/Europe/World trophies in one season (1999/2000 was the only year you had double world championship tournaments, the Intercontinental Cup (they won), and then the first ever FIFA WCC (the went out at group stage, shockingly), which (the FWCC) poofed after that util 2005 when the two were merged)

Manure ended up only winning 2 of the 8 (the EPL and the Intercontinental Cup) as they lost the CS, the League Cup (went out in the 3rd round, Villa crushed them 3 nil), the Super Cup (another huge upset, 1 nil to Lazio) the CL (went out in the QFers, choked 2 3 to Real Madrid at OT after drawing nil nil at RM, RM went on to win it) the FWCC (they beat the worst team of the 8 South Melbourne, but drew with eventual the eventual 3rd place club, Necaxa of Mexico 1 1, then were smashed 1 3 by Vasco de Gama, who ended up losing the final on PK's to Corinthians, who also beat us in 2012 in the final as well, arrrrrffff) and of curse they didn't even play in the FA Cup

30 seconds to glory for shitty Villa, lololol

and ironically the team they are fighting with for survival (Watford) plays Arse next

if villa just had gotten one more point somewhere, they could have relegated West Ham (they are too far behind on GD) on the last day too

Gonna be a bonkers final day...

Can't wait for AFTV!

[Vesper 27,336]

this means Arse will go ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL out in the FA Cup against us

its their only way now to Europe

Actually, most Arse fans are probably glad they lost that. They can now focus 100% on the PL without going to the middle of nowhere on Thursday nights all season long.

This is good for Arteta as well. He can try to pull a Conte when we were out of Europe.

They will qualify for the Europa League if they win the FA Cup final...
