Not sure we should be getting on our high horse about whether the area around the Boleyn isn't the most salubrious. West Ham has decent tube links and is always a decent atmosphere so one of the better London away days.

Staying at Wigan: Roberto Martinez (Wigan Athletic)
KT3AVFC replied to VillanousOne's topic in Villa Talk
Seem to recall something similar being said about McLeish last year! -
Saw this on the Guardian twitter feed and thought it wouldn't go down well in VT world. Have to say that if this is a sign of things to come it doesn't bode well for next season.
-
Completely agree. Had we finished mid table, as we should have done with the players we have, then this could have been written off as a transistional season. If we had finished mid table I reckon there would have been a 50/50 split amongst supporters as to whether or not he should be given more time as opposed to the near 100% who wish to see him gone. Getting ourselves embroiled in a full scale relegation battle was completely unacceptable and has made the manager's position untenable.

Plough Lane, the original Dons home, is most definitely in Wimbledon. Loads of flats on the site now.
-
Wouldn't surprise me if 1 point proved to be enough. If we still have a 3 point advantage over Bolton and QPR going into the spurs game then I am confident we'll be staying up.

The, he's finally GONE! Tell us your thoughts Thread
KT3AVFC replied to Richard's topic in Other Football
He's finished! His relationship with the supporters has irretrievably broken down and his sole goal is to salvage what's left of his reputation by keeping us up, which I think he'll just achieve. Everything that has been reported and said since Tuesday, including the club statement, suggests he'll see out the season and then he'll be off. -
The time for protest with a view to effecting any menaingful change passed weeks ago. It's clear the manager won't be going anywhere before the end of the season so save for the understandable desire to express your frustration I can't see what you hope to achieve from any protest at this stage. With the spectre of relegation now very real it is difficult to see how protests will help make things better - if anything it'll only serve to undermine the already very brittle confidence of the team at a critical time.

I don't recall that Maybe not out and out threats, but definitely a few "come and say that to my face" type comments. This reminds me of those fans who yell all manner of abuse at players and then run off bleating to the nearest policeman when they get a mouthful back. Bearing in mind some of the abuse he has taken in the past couple of years I wouldn't have blamed GK had he called out some of the keyboard warriors.

We're coming off the back of 2 distinctly underwhelming seasons (with no guarantee that we won't be strutting our stuff in the Championship next season). During MON's last 2 seasons even though we were chasing a CL spot the football played at home was hardly the most exciting; most of our decent football was played away from home. It would be a shock if ST sales didn't plummet.
-
Bolton have lost their last 2 including a 3-0 home defeat to Fulham, who even we managed to beat so it's not a given that they have any results in them! I aslo think Wigan are still firmly in it. I believe that the 3 who will go down will come from the current bottom 5. It's certainly not impossible for us to go down but it would require us to lose all our games and for 3 of the teams below us to put together a run. I wouldn't discount 1 or possibly 2 of them catching us but can't see 3 overalling us. Reckon we'll finish 15th which is obviously better than being relegated but that's about it.
-
I was just about to post this. I believe villa are the 18th best team in the premiership and it was only an average first 2 months which has kept the club above the drop zone. villa deserve to go down. Why do only games since November count. The bottom 3 teams at the end of the season deserve to go down. We may be shite but if we don't finish in the bottom 3 then we don't deserve to go down. It's the same warped logic that says Wigan are a decent team because they find a bit of form after being shite most of the season.
-
if they win their home games that's 6 which is 37 points which will be a point more than we will finish on. Qpr will probably win at citeh on the final day as man ure will have already won the title by then. 36 is what we will finish on. we are shit And the teams below us aren't even worse? Seeings as you can see into the future don't suppose you could let me have tonight's lottery numbers?
-
If we get 1 point from our remaining 6 games then we deserve to go down. I'm confident we'll get more than 1 point.
-
It's not inconceivable that we won't win another game this season - though personally I reckon we'll get at least one more win - but I don't see us losing the remainder of our games either. A lott has been made about our failure to beat L'pool or Stoke but we didn't lose those games either. 2 or 3 draws would be enough. It won't be pretty but we're scrape the points needed to stay up and I suspect we'll be safe sooner than we were last season. In terms of the relegation scrap I'd much rather be in our position than any of the teams below us.
-
I looked at the line up pre match and feared the worse so am well chuffed with a point in our present situation. Bit surprised at the level of criticism post match bearing in mind most people thought we'd get mullered. Liverpool may be shite but they've only lost 2 at home all year, they were near full strength and we had a team with a number of players tha most Villa fans would struggle to recognise let alone supporters of other clubs. Anyone who expected us to take the game to Liverpool and dominate is living in fantasy land.
-
Definitely feeling nervous but still reckon we'll be ok. If we can't 5 points from Stoke, Bolton, Sunderland, WBA and Norwich (which should be more than enough) then we deserve to go down.
-
Seeings as we're officially skint suspect we're not going to be signing too may proven top premiership players any time soon. Like all the other mid ranking teams with limited funds it's the Newcastle model we'll br trying to emulate. Know zip about Mr Holman. Wish him all the best for nex year.

I got one no problem at 11. Sounded like there were still tickets available.
-
You previously complained that the problem was Randy was not communicating with the supporters. When he does speak you complain about what he says and where he says it. No wonder he doesn't bother most of the time.
-
Money is the be all and end all in the CL era. We could replace Paul Faulkener with Davod Dein and it wouldn't make a difference as to whether we could challenge the top 4. Spend Man City type money and we'd be pushing for the top even with Paul Faulkener and AM in charge.
-
I wouldn't suggest for one minute that football in England is not without its problems and your point about homophobia is one I completely agree with. I was really just referring to the issue of race where English football has taken massive strides on and off the pitch. Even there it is arguable there is work to be done at a managerial level.

The, he's finally GONE! Tell us your thoughts Thread

Punditry was ok but his brown speckled suit was a shocker! -
If you were walking through Aston and a group of black of Asian lads were to refer to you as a white so and so it would just be general abuse and not have any racial connotations? As soon as you bring colour into the issue then you're making it a racial issue. It's why Steve Williams' comments about Tiger Woods were racist and why John Terry will be guilty of racism if the allegation agains him is proven. Football in recent years is one of the few areas of life where race, religion etc have been truly unimportant. Let's hope it stays that way.

I suspect that the Americans are sick of wars and that getting into a new one, especially one as messy as Iran will be, it is unlikely to be a vote winner.
