If you want take it back further, Andy Townsend left Chelsea to go to Villa in the early 90s, thats when Villa were a very strong club and they were even stronger in the early 80s when they were European Champions.When I joined Villa, I knew I had joined a big club. I loved being there, I wore the number 9 shirt Peter With had worn and wore it with great pride.Of course Villa was a huge club at that particular time, but if were talking about the last decade no.Ex-Villa striker Darren Bent added: Yeah I agree. Villa are obviously a massive club, but if you talk about right now youve got to say Chelsea.They won the Champions League not that long ago, theyre always winning trophies and have won Premier Leagues.Its not like the Manchester United/Manchester City situation where United are a bigger club because their history is still quite recent, but Aston Villas [success] was a while ago compared to what Chelsea are doing now.Youve got to be honest and right now I think everyone would say Chelsea.Lliverpool’s latest European triumph put them level with Man United for trophies won by English clubs, though Villa are not far behind Chelsea when it comes to glory3
