00:02 - Do you believe in the staying power of Aston Villa?
00:06 - It's a million dollar question.
00:07 And it's a debate that everyone's having at the moment.
00:10 It's a really difficult one.
00:13 I think having seen their performances
00:15 against Arsenal Manchester City,
00:17 I mean, against Manchester City,
00:19 against the treble winners,
00:20 they were absolutely outstanding.
00:22 I've not seen dominance like that for a very long time,
00:25 especially against the Pep Guardiola side.
00:28 So, you know, with a bit of logical reasoning,
00:30 if they're able to defeat two such giants,
00:33 they're probably able to go all the way.
00:35 Having said that,
00:36 obviously the fact that they're relatively new
00:39 to this sort of title challenge,
00:41 it's been a very, very, very long time
00:43 since they were able to sort of,
00:45 to contend with the big boys, if you like.
00:47 And it will be interesting to see.
00:50 I think maybe the lack of experience
00:53 and perhaps lack of squad depth
00:55 might be the difference maker.
00:57 But for me, Champions League is a very realistic goal.
01:00 The Premier League, maybe not so much,
01:02 but very good side.
01:03 And they really are the revelation this season.
