Europe, Europe, here we come

Of course being sixth, with few injuries all season, its to be expected those more prone to high expectation are looking towards a European qualification, even in some cases, a top 4 finish with Villa beating Liverpool to the last position.

Hee, hee.
Back in the real world we await Mart's latest transfer shenanigans, as we approach mid January. Mind as he recently reminded those of a doubting temperament, he did sign 3 very valuable players this time last season, so by implication, hold your breath with expectation.

Players are needed of course and how, we do have the smallest squad in the Premiership, which makes our sixth position all that more laudable, if just a touch fortuitous. Picking the same players each game has its advantages, they get to know each others foibles and weakness' and compensate and as many keep saying Saunders achieved much, with a similar squad size.
It was back in the 80's though and football has changed a wee bit since then, boy has it changed.

Still enjoy while you can, next month we might have lost barry with a hip injury for a few weeks, or Mellberg to illness and then lets see how optimistic Villa fans are of Europe then
