You must work with some fairly unintelligent types then to be honest.

No, not at all. They are just fellow Villa fans and as football fans they are subject to rather obscure emotions over the subject.

They should have known better than to appoint Small Heath's manager.

I still can't believe the club actually went and did that to us. This is what has caused all the unrest and negativity at villa park especially with the fanbase. I don't think McLeish will even be accepted because of his SHA ties. Im amazed the board chose to ignore our rivalry with blues, it shows just how little lerner and co care about the fans. randy can put on all the free coaches he likes but i will never forgive him and i will certainly never back mcleish

Ths post encapsulates what the protest is all about.

Alex McLeish is the former Birmingham City manager.

And that is it!

One post speaks for all? If so, mine does for you.

You're wrong.

I think it is pretty split to be honest, a couple of the lads i work with have said no matter what Eck does they don't want him as manager because of where he came from.

No, but he could have stayed at the same shit level.

I think he has been steadily improving since his red card against Arsenal.

He's had a good game so far today. Done well.

I'm sure that won't stop people having a go at him though.

Agree with this he did not do to badly, although the Taylor challenge should probably have been a pen.

Those two kits would be ace.

Would quite like the middle one with claret and blue stripe as the away.

At work til 4 so will meet you on it at ten. I will just have to work with what I can.

When is the next session planned for then.x

Everyone keeps saying we were crap first half but in that half alone we had 11 shots to there 2.

In my current save I started on the dole and got offered a job as boss of Hangzhou in the Chinese Super League. I joined with them underachieving at the bottom of the table just outside the relegation places.

That first season I tried to adopt a wing-back formation, but that turned into abit of a disaster as I only won one out of 8 and narrowly avoided relegation. The following season with the help of my first transfer window I sold the deadwood and bought in two wingers a striker, left back and centre back so reverted back to a standard 4-4-2 and managed to win the league title by 1 point. I followed that up with a disappointing 4th place and being knocked out at the group stage of Asian Champions League.

I'm back on track this year and with half the games played find myself top of the league and the Chinese u-19 manager.

I'll be up for this. Won't be able to play til after get back from vp though.

It's February, where's our Qatari takeover??

Beat me to it.

Right this maybe a daft question i haven't been on here in a while. What was suppose to happen in Feb then?

Basically one random poster on a different forum predicted a takeover by QAI after the January window and certain people are wishing it ain't some bluenose laughing his ass off at them.

Always liked the look of this kid, but I must say he looked well of the pace at the start of the season, his passing was poor(which in the past was to my mind one of his better attributes) and he was always getting caught dawdling with the ball.

Hopefully if he can stay at Leeds for the rest of the season he might be able to rekindle a bit of the talent people saw in him and kick on next year.

After all the Booing at half time from the Arsenal fans you would think it would be a great lift for Villa to take control from the start of the second, "How wrong was I" I dont know what was said at half time, but i bet it was'nt " Keep pushing lad's we can score more on the counter" as was proven when Bent gave away that penalty (what is he Heskey! the only other striker you'd find defending).

To be fair Bent had tried to track him back all the way from the Arsenal half, one of our defenders or midfielders should have stepped in a long time before it got to the pen situation.

He has bought shares before too.

Not all his investment has been in the way of loans.

That was abysmal.

I have never seen a match where the home team has so utterly failed to defend set-pieces, or string more than 3 passes together before giving it away under no pressure what so ever on most occasions.

Good solid line-up.

Big chance for him to show what he can do over the next few games. either to attract attention for a move or to get an extra few quid put on a contract.

Anyone else see how Faulkner had to explain that a free kick in the first half was given for offside? Lerner looked like he had no clue

Hardly something to kick him over, i have to ask the mate i go down with what happened sometimes, as you can miss something.

I like him.

He is McCool.

You could almost say they were seperated at birth.

What was Megson's Premier League record?

Herd

Gardner Jenas

Bannan Agbonlahor

Bent

I'd quite like to see a skillful and energetic midfield supporting and supplying Bent.

Why does everyone include Herd in these exciting new energetic midfields. He really is not a midfielder. He's at best an inexperienced average right back playing out of his depth and out of position. I was hoping gardener would be the one to displace him when he's given his chance.

He is not out of position he is a midfielder.

Lerner needs to sell up. An absolute joke of an owner.

Perhaps the venkeys could buy us.

Yes, lets bring up the very worst chairman in the league as an example of why Randy is good. Well done.

Now lets make a list of chairman who do a much better job and who don't screw up two sports clubs (and football club by spending too much like a little schoolboy on sweets trying to buy attention of the bullies around him to stop them beating him - and then when it doesn't work, selling his mums best jewellery to make up for it) and also a man who appoints one of the worst managers in the premier league last season, one who has relegated more clubs than any of our past 5 managers and one who has no idea how to set up a football team.

So yes, lets bring up venkeys and use them as a tool to beat people with who do not lick the PR off the current chairmans bollocks.

you have an Un-healthy obsession with me dodgy, posting in poster left right and centre.

So Lerner is a joke of a chairman, but not as much as a joke as an actual shit owner in the venkeys, oh ok. Typical VT depressive logic there..

Season ticket for many a yeah thank you TheDrums lower holte, enjoyed supporting villa when we were doing nothin, supposedly doing something under o'neill and back to doing nothing, couldn't afford it this year

I'll still enjoy it if we win the league or are relegated god forbid, whilst plenty of vt will witness the apocalypse unless PF is sacked along with our current manager and the second coming owner (with a self made fortune obviously) comes along and makes people feel important again.

Oh anyone can say Lower Holte. What seat did you sit at then?

Why should he have to prove to some random person that he goes to games or not?

How do u do the elastic band round the sleeve trick im intrigued

What you do, is you put an elastic band around someone's sleeve.

Which part of the sleeve and does the size of the elastic band matter?
