It's just not meant to be for Villa
We can talk about Premier League corruption, VAR being unfit for purpose, the vile, negative tactics of opponents being hailed as progression, and all of that can be true. Still at the end of the day, it's not meant to be for Villa and probably never will be again. So we just have to enjoy the journey, even if it ultimately leads nowhere.
