The only constant is us fans. We expect better and have zero patience with low standards. This tells.
-
That's Jimmy's preferred approach, apparently.
-
Spot on. Feels like we've finally replaced some key players from years ago. Absolutely, totally, utterly ecstatic with these signings! What a window.
-
First his gates were bust, then Bruce took offence. Exposed.
-
I think so. But there's a new sheriff in town.
-
Hopefully. But a public tribute goes a long way. GT certainly deserved it.
-
Haven't read anything from Dwight Yorke yet. Does anyone have anything?
-
Came here to write something but it's all been said, and better. It's Interesting what isn't said about Mr Taylor, and speaks volumes. To a man, people have spoken of his decency and of being a gentleman through and through. A top man. Rest in peace. Damn it's sad. Wolves Villa will be emotional.
-
This might have been mentioned, I'm playing catch up, but these signings are also good as they're Bruce's. I like it when the boss is accountable, rather than making the best of someone else's choices. True shaping begins, and summer can't come soon enough.
-
This, squared. Also, it shows Bruce is a man of his word, to fans and players alike. He said clean slate, and that's what it has been. To do otherwise when Gabby's kept his end of the bargain - by getting fit at least - would've been unwise and bad for morale. Is Gabby the future? Of course not. But he can help us now, and Bruce is enabling that. Fine management.
-
What I like about the Gabby situation is that it shows Bruce to be a man of his word, a strong signal to send. Adds to the all-in-it-together vibe we've found. It was also great to see how properly chuffed Gabby was for Baker after scoring - there's good stuff in this team, and bags to come. As for Bruce, I just think there's something very, very special percolating at Villa and he fits us perfectly the way Big Ron did. Calderwood will bolster us no end. Lovin this.

Do you remember Vera, who I nearly married?
-
Think only getting Gym Jones in could be more exciting. Top stuff!
-
And if we feel like that as fans, imagine how the team feel. Cannot underestimate what this result will do for us. Tonnes of training time to come and to improve further. One step, but a big one.
-
My 2p... Don't care if he's likable, I care if he's good. Team spirit is irrelevant if you're losing. We were completely ****** under Lambert. This cannot be worse. His contract length is of no consequence, but he may have insisted on longer - that could be viewed as ambition and commitment. Let's give him a chance. UTV. VTID.
-
I have to tell my son we lost - again - in the morning. Depressed beyond tablets. Time for bed. Talking of which, how can Lambert sleep? No amount of money can compensate for performing poorly at work. I'd have thought he's ok for a few quid, so resigning, giving us a chance to survive and taking a load of pressure off himself seems a win for all concerned. There's bravery and commitment, then there's just being stubborn and evading reality.
-
A poll is not required. I would think only a very small percentage would still support him. Lerner & Fox, sadly.
-
Not even the solace of him getting fired. We are gone, without a fight.
-
Plus there's the confidence difference to factor in. We're flying at the mo, full of belief.
-
Dowsed in petrol, Zippo at the ready...

Any else remember 2006 when Sky got hysterical about their "scoop" that Lerner had bailed out of the Ellis sale and was flying back to the States and how everyone (well, me anyway) thought Ellis had somehow **** it all up for us and what a **** he was and blah, blah, blah... We know nothing about what goes on. Even info that it's off would be suspicious in light of the above. It's only fun to speculate if you accept we know absolutely jack shit about any of this.

It'll be the Kumar brothers...

I see what you did there - the return of Herbert! I thenkyaw! I'm here all week...
-
I've always dug Ellison.

No Longer Interested: (Ole Gunnar Solskjaer - Molde FK)
GrassyNoel replied to VillaGoMarching's topic in Villa Talk
The most excited I've been about events at Villa for ages. OGS arrival would give the place such a buzz, and make it hard for the media to ignore us as usual. So thanks to TheTrees for the info! Got your Rush tickets yet mate?! Got mine yesterday, swept away on a wave of positivity!!
