  1. Unfortunatly nothing has changed. Smith is still the manager and the squad is still the same. To stay up Villa needed to sack smith and get a new manager bounce. he'd tinkered with formations different players etc. he had nothing left. The players had stopped putting in a shift. If it's cancelled now at least there is a transfer window we can buy better players. or get a better manager we cannot proceed and do nothing but expect things to get better after a few zoom calls.
  2. we've lost 5 straight games only divine intervention saved Smith.
  3. I'm sure I saw on a Villa video the team played in the champions league behind closed doors and a load of fans turned up to do the conga in the park opposite. I will definatly be doing my essential shop at witton lane tesco that day and a bit of excerising in that park.....the conga
  4. Its clearly Pepe Reina the player Smith referred to as "living with his mother in law who is in remission" However Smith made no mention of the fact REina was ill HIMSELF! https://www.corrieredellosport.it/news/calcio/serie-a/napoli/2020/03/31-68374580/reina_ho_avuto_paura_non_respiravo_pi/ This is a massive story when Arteta has it everyone knew about it yet smith decided to brush it under the carpet and do a Les Dawson Why would he omit this? The 25minutes without oxygen is straight out of the david blaine repertoire. This is the sort of ammunition Smith should be using instead of telling everyone "we're ready to play." We are so not. We are totally down if we play matches. Only the health and safety guy can save us now and its not just a case of "put your hard hat on please" I don't want to be in the same stadium as pepe reina never mind jostling for a corner feeling his breath on my neck and those big hands ......daaaaaaaaamn!
  5. I agree. As liverpool are so far ahead and have it in the bag already the relegation scrap would be the only thing of interest to the neutral punter. I see purslow and smith not exactly singing off the same hym sheet. Smith says ready to play, purslow say hell no. Even with home advantage the only way Villa will survive is cancellation. It was widely reported Smith was finished if we didn't beat chelsea. I just hope that next seaons Purslow honours my food vouchers that I have from paying full whack at the liverpool game.
  6. If I had premiership footballers salary there is no way I'd live with my mother in law.
  7. it's an autotune atrocity. my arsehole has made better noises than that.
  8. The fact Smith didn't use the winter break for a team building week is staggaring. Especially given the bournemouth match (last one before the break) was such an on the beach performance. I've just watched the interview with Smith after that game. He blamed the ball boys and then said "no slide it is an isolated result and we would come back stronger. the players have got some time off now to rest" If you switch off you have to switch on again. A real manager would have tore paint off the walls cancelled everyones leave and hastily organised a trip to stirling lines. Or some remote highland location where the players would be forced to live off the land. Waking up to the news Poch is on Newcastles radar is the final straw. he should have been hired at half time at vicarage road back at xmas.
  9. COllymore raised a good point. Chelsea had the home advantage of 30k fans. Villa will be denied the same in the return fixture. ON the other hand. our "training ground players" may perform better in an empty stadium
  10. Project restart. This is bad news. Smith couldn't organise a self isolation. If Villa play football it's relegation. Our only hope is to follow the dutch and cancel the season. The PM must step in at this point.
  11. Will probably sustain another injury whilst picking up the pen to sign the extension. then after no games for such a duration, the first game back....you'll hear the pop of those achillies tendons snapping as far away as the king fisher in redditch!
  12. Sacking smith during lockdown would send shockwaves through world football regarding the ambition and ruthlessness of the owners. As there are no sport stories at all during these wild times therefore Villa would be on back pages from wuhan to Los Angeles. These actions would raise Villa's global profile fiftyfold and enable us to get a real headcoach, cheerleader motivator in. The uniqueness of the situation would bring amazing media attention as the new coach streams training sessions through zoom. They could then upload the content live to season ticket holders on AVTV. Fans could train with the pro's. then charge regular punters 5.99 a go to join in the fun! It would be the feel good story of the year.......until KEnian Davis gets injured in his kitchen by a stray fish knife, and the sessions have to be stopped to "protect the NHS"
  13. Why isn't Smith holding a meeting with terry and giving him the bullet and bringing in Mark Lawrenson as defensive coach? Has Deano got any bollox? That goals against column is not improving any time soon untill those defenders hear a difference voice or get some different instructions. Someone has got to carry the can for the wretched performances. It's nauseating how they refer to him as Jay Tee, he's always posting photos of himself on insta on holiday or from ten years ago in his chelsea shirt, he brings nothing to the table. everything he does is PR for himself. made sure the press saw him going for a jog around the stadium before the cup final. Then during the game the free headers, and migets marking giants calamity reigned in. If I was Smith taking all the flack from the fans, knowing I was going to get the sack soon I would so bin terry to buy myself some more time hire Mark Lawrenson who's the most famous specialised coach out there . Id probaly bin Richard O'Kelly too that wrinkly old baggie does nothing. Get Collymore in he's always offering to help. They'll both be out in the summer unless someone coughs first.
  14. This is the best case scenario: void the season stay up keep super Jack and have another transfer window to add proven class to the squad. the downside is probably stuck with deano.
  15. If the club benefits from an act of god they should never play a match on the sabbath ever again as a token of gratitude for this divine intervention.
  16. can't believe the leagues been posponed! this gives Dunno Deano a stay of exectution possibly keeps him in a job. I bet he's been skipping around whistling another invented disease by manic street preachers all morning
  17. big sam loves the filthy lucra. why do you think he got sacked from england? Im sure his salary was enough to keep anyone happy he just loves making a cheeky few notes through a side hussle. so the as long as the survival bonus is big enough I don't think he would be bothered about a long contract.
  18. Just watched the pre match interveiw with smith on VT (this interveiw was with Villa's internal smoke blower not with press ) and for a man with the noose around his neck is conveying a very relaxed demeanour,although his skin looks a bit blotchy similar to brian clough's when he was on the brink however he's ginger so erm... deano's gone on about our record at Villa Park in night games is 6 out of 7 (most were in cup) and return of McGinn is as big as grealish last season (disagree ) also he clarify's the marking at corners is man to man not zonal and they've done some work on it.(yeah right) also drinkwater has been delt but with didn't say how.
  19. I think they will delay the investigation until they definaly bin smith. The new mananger may think he can get a tune out of drink. to be fair to drinkwater, I've seen guys like jota with the man bun, imacculate beard and sleeve tatoos in pubs on stitch and pitch nights. and I've wanted to drop the nut on them too. however I channeled my aggression into my knitting. I'm suprised he didn't have a pop at lansbury
  20. no managerial experience, never faced a relegation scrap in his career, it would be a baptism of fire similar to when Alan Shearer thought he could save Newcastle. And dont say look at Lampard. He's blessed with top quality squad. players like William (nearly on the same level as Hazard for skills) Pedro, Giroud, Kante, azpilicueta, What I call Foden syndrome: any average kid who looks class playing with top draw players every ball perfectly into stride. always options left and right if you're in the sheight. easy road to the top. Try being Grealish surrounded by deadarses! leave it to the specialists. If you can't afford Rafa (or that slimy clearing in the woods purslow wont work with him) you have to get Sam. I think terry is too smart to take it anyway if offered. 1) it would piss off the smith lovers as would look like he manipulated the whole thing - bad PR 2) he knows the players are mostly bottle jobs. 3) think he likes his easy lifestyle, bit of training, bit of fishing, holidays every month, plenty of instagram, no stress, must have a couple of slags in birmingham on the go, I certainly would.
  21. Smith will say he's been let down by the players. But I think he's been too nicey nicey with them, he can't handle the big egos. the only way he could hit back at them was through the media. Well that worked well didn't it. letting them go on holiday mid season after the bournmouth surrender. disgrace.........then having mings plaster photos of himself on the fake beach in dubai all over twitter? disgrace! These jollys should have been dealt with in a strong arm way. What would chris wilder have done after getting dicked? ........HOLIDAYS cancelled lads we having a team building weekend at lake bala. And someone needs to get hold of mings by his throat and tell him it's defend or homes under the hammer not both. I think he's being distracted by his off the field business interests. look at his twitter feed compared to Grealish. Jack is all about football. Mings is doing this and doing that.........and playing shit!
  22. Now is NOT the time for football philosophys. We need red adair on a 9 game contract.
  23. said many times......Drinkwater + Nkamba is solid. nice protection from the pourus defence. good results with these pair....brighton away and watford home.
  24. The players hate him. he's slaughtered them individually and as a group to the mainstream media. They're not going to sweat a bead against chelsea.... Saturday is going to be an anal massacre.
