    True.

    I'm in Birmingham and watched the Hibs / Villa game whilst knocking back a pint yesterday afternoon. A few Villa fans knocking about getting extremely giddy about the performance and Villa being in Europe (which is fair enough).

    It does seem an age away when they beat Bayern Munich in the European Cup though and thought then how distorted the Premier League is.

    I'm getting all whimsy and reminiscing now.

      Long gone are the days of teams like Aberdeen winning the UEFA cup.
      Maybe we should join, we'd be in Europe every season
      Have you written in the fact we would be getting Scottish incomes into your summarisation ?

          All down to money.

          Cheer on Wrexham but their fairy tale is all down to money . Man City compete with the aristocracy of Europe , money allows them to compete at that level.

                The Old firm are now caught between a rock and a hard place. Way too good for the SPL, but no chance of getting to the latter stages of the CL,
                They are strapped for cash, and even if they had dough, the standard of the SPL would stop big names signing.

                  they've eaten the rest of the SPL, no sympathy at all they keep all the revenue to themselves.

                  similarly to what Bayern have done in Germany, it isn't a healthy situation in the long run
