Oh gawd, these columns get harder and harder to do. It’s a miracle this column has run for around four years considering how useless Villa have tended to be. How can you spin anything positive from an inept 4-0 defeat at the Etihad? Well, the fact of the matter is you can’t.
Manchester City paraded the League Cup around the stadium as if reminding Aston Villa fans what their club used to be about.
