I dont want Randy to leave but he needs to act now. The playing staff are losing it and its only going to get worse. He needs to act now and bring someone in who is going to bring some bloody passion to the team, someone who knows how to set teams up for a win every week without it being a **** surprise when we do eventually win before it is too late. Summer could be an actual disaster. 6 wins in 24, coupled with two shit cup runs - sort it out, or lose the fans completely.

The way I see it, (and I mentioned this in today's match thread), we need to get to 32 games having reached 35 points. We can then use the last 6 games to add to that and try and finish as high as possible. If we fail to get 7 points from the next 8, we are in deep shit. I can't see the bottom 3 reaching 30 points in that time, so I think we are safe anyway, but, you never know.

Rafa Benitez - problem solved. Proably more expensive in terms of his salary, but, problem solved.

How many points did we have this time last season vs Bham??

Playing decent at the mo. Let's hope we can take this into the second half like we did the other day. The way i see this season going, we have 8 games to get to 35 points (6 points to go the way things stand), and then we can use the last 6 games to try and get some additional points. I don't think that should be to difficult, but we have some tough battles coming up. At the moment, I can't really see the bottom 3 getting to 30 points too soon, for that reason I think we will definitely be safe. (when you think of it like that, it seems really easy, but, I don't want to jinx it) Does anyone know how many points Bham had this time last season, and ourselves?

Let's go for something a little like this - I used my music skills to come up with these lyrics.... Shisha Boy loves the Holte Watch him pass it, watch him go Watch him crank dat Shisha Pipe Then Superman dat Holte Now watch him move (crank dat Shisha pipe) Now watch him move (crank dat Shisha Pipe) Shisha Boy loves the Holte Watch him shoot it, watch him score Watch him shift it into feet, Then Superman dat Holte Now watch him move (crank dat Shisha pipe)... Etc etc,.....

**** it, I'm gonna get slated here - but Salifou did sweet **** all either... Please don't ban me from the site.... Annnnd Tumbleweed.....

What about Routledge? Pretty sure we signed him - never saw him play, sold him, went missing for a while, then got a goal against us for Swansea? That's pretty crap if you ask me...

Anyone up for scrabble? More exciting than this shit. I wish every fan would just walk out in protest - maybe then will we be heard. No club will like football without fans...

Fast and Furious

Hell, no. If I feel shit, I stay at home, simple as. Guilty? **** that. Ive never wasted a good sick day on an actual illness. Sick days are for hangovers and extra holidays. If im gonna be ill, i may as well be ill at work. Not these days though, no work no money. I get what you all mean - it's the most weird thing calling in saying your sick - iv had one day of since starting my new job in 2010. I even feel guilty when I'm on holiday!! But that's because I get messages from colleagues asking for help on a couple of things, so I just think sod it and end up going in to the office! (obviously not possible if I'm abroard) Haha...... Geek

Hey all, just wondering if anybody here works in Wlefare to Work and is interested in any other opportunities within the sector?!

Hahahahahahahahahaha **** bollox! Does anybody know where I can get the best Pizza in Dublin?

How the hell do people know it is definitely Macron? I'm not saying it's not, but what's makes everyone so sure? It could be Kappa for what we know! If Macron do for us what they have done for Napoli I won't feel too bad about it. Nike have been gash last few seasons. I preferred the Hummel ones to them.

^^Heard this as well from Leeds forums - apparently there is an £800,000 fee involved...

^^ haha - I do that. It's normally whilst swearing at the same time though...

Loving Ultimate team at the mo...my stats are quite good... 41-8-19. Made the mistake recently of risking having good players in the line up without sorting out the formations and not taking note of the chemistry. A combination of Honda and Pastore in the CM with bent and gabby upfront and Arshavin and Reyes on the wings.... Wasn't really working so i sold the lot and started building a Holland squad instead. havnt had much luck with the packs either - I never get anyone good that I can just sell for a lot of coinage.

Unfortunately it won't work like that will it. He was given the job 6 months ago on a bumber 3 year contract. Lerner and Faulkner for **** knows what reason thought he was the right man then and will think he is the right man now. What we could do with is a spate of sackings in the Premiership to help plant the seed and make his sacking look more justified. It doesn't help that managers who have been in their jobs sometime, or at least way longer than McLeish, who are struggling in Kean, Coyle, McCarthy haven't and don't appear in iminent danger of being sacked. The media also don't seem to be reporting that McLeish is under pressure. I would be amazed if McLeish goes before the end of the season and expect him to still be here in 18 months. I would love to be pleasantly surprised though. Of course that then means Dumb and Dumber having to find another manager and as we all know they are **** clueless at that. Oh no, I'm fully aware that that will not be the case, the hierarchy will persevere for as long as they can get away with. It's cheaper to do it that way. We won't be going anywhere anytime soon, and we cannot expect to see any new signings while we are playing like this and in the position we are in (what a great time to go 14th). Plus Randy has **** us over by allowing dickweed to spend money on crap players who have done nothing for this team, and we can't seem to shift them. McLeish is definitely here for the long run. Just hoping he remembers how to manage in the championship because it **** looks like we are heading that way! Everything is a mess. You can probably tell from the tone of my typing that I am angry! - I was backing him 2 weeks ago! How things change after a defeat...

Yea, instead we got a team that's going backwards instead of forwards, a host of shit players in the team, a manager who couldn't inspire a Beaver to build a dam, and super crap football for us fans to enjoy every game. We're 14th now, behind Sunderland. Game over for Mcleish I'm afraid to say. Next...

Two things that have **** me right of today- As soon as I set my sights on a little stat, about 10mins before kick off, I knew this was going to be a total disaster today. The snippet of information read: The swans have visited Villa park 7 times and have lost all of those without scoring... Now, you all know as well as I do, that we always have records broken against us, even Routledge scored his first premier league goal against us. Drogba got his 150th Chelsea goal the other day as well. Secondly, I was a supporter of AMC, I wanted to give him time, and was delighted that we got that win against Chelsea. But, after today, it appears we are simply just competing for points here and there, rather than looking to win every game and get somewhere. How **** dare they give us a shite performance like that against Swansea at home! I have joined the Mcleish out wagon now and I won't be happy until we are in another transition period... I also want about 80% of the playing staff to **** of as well because they ain't worth the money they earn I won't be going to another game after that today until some drastic changes are made. Just feels like I'm pissing money away

Bit of a shame for Alby. Probs swap gabby for him at half time, just to give Gabs a bit of a rest. Good team though. Fingers crossed.

Wayhay, we ain't going to be 'trading' according to sky sports with quotes from AMC. Still on the old wage bill reduction project which will go on forever thanks to various people's incompetence. Exciting time ahead for us villa fans...

I think we know where he is gonna end up in the summer. Absolutely gutted that he is going though. **** hate the squad at the minute. Decent people that are gonna be leaving, and we have clearings in the woods we still have contracted with us for 100 years.

BOLLOX! Nah, only joking. Merry xmas fellow VTer

We'll have to wait and see until after Jan. I'm gonna support McLeish for now.
