Plops FA cup semi win has taken the pressure of KK for a bit so the press need a new target ..Stand up Alex Micleish

We have 5 matches left ..5 points would save us ..seems simply enough and yet I am lost as to what game we will win. We have no cmposure on the ball and are completely incapable of holding a lead ..I suspect if we had scored earlier than we did at Fulham we would of ended up standing off and drawing !! Staying up is in the hands of the other teams I suspect

Well now we are really in it..

Good job our manager doesn't think of games this late in the season to stay up being cup finals ...oh

1-2

Jesus !! Is Martinez the new Moyes ..only play in the second half of the season !!

I agree I get the impression Kendrick in particular relises McLiesh is shit but how harsh can he be ,he has a job to do to pay the bills.He piss's Villa off then they won't let him have any stories. The PR from the club in the main when it comes to football matter's is shit.Sponsorship , charity events etc they are fine but from the moment MON walked the messing around getting Houllier in , the debacle replacing him have left us looking like a conference side ..then employing a relegated manager from our derby rivals was so unbelievably bad in the PR stakes.If that wasn't bad enough they organise a get together with some fans and Mcliesh to smooth things over in which we are told Downing won't go for less than 50 mil and we will play attacking forward ,Mcliesh was held back by the players he had at Birmingham all proving to be utter bollocks !!

2-0 down and we still were playing as if it was 0-0 !!! At no point did we go for it , and they were not that good Rooney was awful for most of the game yet still scored twice. Wiemann scores 2 goals so lets stick him on the left wing and leave the 9.5mil signing on the bench for 80mins plus seriously he is beyond clueless

Wigan have the worst fixtures , Blackburn could still pull a few points out of the bag so we are far from safe.Bolton is the big match..either way should not have come to this.

To be honest I would be surprised if Liverpools owners allow more big money buys on english players given the performances of Caroll ,Downing and Henderson

I'm sure he will go to Liverpool how could he turn down those table topping giants .....

Martinez doing a good job there would like them to stay up ..providing it's not at our expense Rubbish!Martinez and Wigan have been in the bottom 3 all year,they finally show some fight the past 4 weeks and youd think Martinez is OUR saviour if he came to the Villa. Where did I say I wanted him to come to Villa ?

I think the fact we could go down is going to stop any new contract offers .. However we have Carlos out of contract and interest in the other first team CB who only have a year on their contracts so I would love to know exactly what the hell the long term plan is

Quite agree ...nothing exciting about where we are just a horrible feeling of impending doom.

I think , quite obviously by the end of the Stoke game we will know our fate.Lose the next 2 and the ones below pick up points and we are down. Sunderland are 3rd in the form league and Man U at Old trafford we might as well send the catering staff so no points from them. We just won't have the experiance to get out of it

To be honest if we can't get at least 5 points from the remaining 24 to play for we deserve to go down

Faulkner might now have a clue employing a manager but he must have something about him to get decent sponsorship and kit deals given the fact the team have performed shit most of the season.Should we just about stay up I can not see how much longer they can keep employing someone so universial unliked by the fans and performing so badly and hope to attract investment. What horrifies me is how bad we are at defending I mean for FFS the third goal on Saturday why the hell wasn't Heskey on the near post ? Honestly the worst I throught we would be this year was grinding out boring 1-0 wins...how wrong I was

Yes I would have throught cycling would be good as its not an impact exercise like running

Remeber how we didn't want to do a Leeds..well we are looking at that situation right now

With all the injuries and Petrov situation IF he keeps u sup I can see him being kept due to keping us up under difficult circumstances..which whilst there is some truth to that the fact is long before the injuries we were poor..

Nzog apparantly 7-10 days so could make the Stoke game.Dunne around the 9th April ,Clark mid April along with Hutton.This is all according to the Physio room website

He employed McLiesh I imagine on at least some part because he won a cup last season.Which was what about 8 matches to win.Maybe looking at the 38 games of failure in the league would have been a better measuring stick.Now you can point to 68 games where he has performed poorly as a league manager. He needs to asses what he wants from Aston Villa because right now the choices being made are very poor and IF we go down he only has himself and PF to blame.The fans warned him he chose to ignore them ..sometimes the fans are RIGHT !

We should of only loaned him for 6 months then we could of recalled him.Loaning him out and getting in Jenas looks like a **** up of epic proportion Ireland aside there is no one experienced to play in midfield.

If we go down and he stays ..good luck getting any fans to turn up ...
