Can Aston Villa make it into Europe again? The next month is key

Here is a question for you.

Which is a bigger club, Aston Villa or Arsenal? What about Aston Villa or Manchester City?

Well, if you said Villa, you are correct. The Villains have been champions of Europe (once, 1982) more than every club in England, bar Liverpool, Manchester United, and Nottingham Forest. Villa also won the UEFA Super Cup that season.

Which brings us to 2021: Villa is ninth in the table right now with two games in hand, and are a serious threat to make it into one of the European competitions next season.

Today, the Villains get reeling Newcastle United, which might be playing in the Championship next season if things don’t turn around quickly.

Aston Villa has a big chance here to jump up the table, and good teams take that chance.

So will I, on the Villains.
