he inherited some quality players, the likes of Mellberg, Barry, Laursen, Bouma, Gabby. One by one they have left, and each time they have been replaced by players of lesser quality. We are now seeing the consequences.

Are you suggesting that the squad he inherited was better than the one we have now?

He inherited a handful of decent players, but they were far outnumbered by dross. That's why we were heading for near certain relegation.

(BTW last time I checked Bouma and Gabby were still at the club. And Laursen didn't leave, he was forced to retire.)

What a sickener.

Off to bed to avoid the inevitable hysterics.

Habib Beye is crap!

You think all our players are "crap", "useless" or "shit". We get it.

Cmon Villa see this out.

I was looking forward to watching this game.. now I'm gonna be watching long ball tactics as Heskey flicks it out for a goal kick. Delph and Reo Coker on the bench in a squad that loves playing 4-5-1, especially away from home... but instead we choose Heskey and push our biggest counter attacking threat out to the right wing... I think I might just cheer on Lyon instead and fear the worst for us.

feel exactly the same mate

Well enjoy the Lyon game you two.

These two posts perfectly illustrate the ridiculous fickleness of some of our fans. "I don't agree with the team selection so I'll not be watching."

C'mon Villa!!!

Why you may ask: Because we always bottle it, when we have a chance to nudge up the table, and because we have barely any attacking threat. .

Bottle it by not playing enough attacking players, Errr I think the line up, 4-4-2 with 3 strikers and also Young who is quite aggresive.

I know we have "attacking players" but we don't have any attacking "threat". Feel free to quote me on this if we get more than 3 shots on target because i have actually bet that we wont lol!!!

Yeah. Lol. :|

Why would the feeling that were going to come good tonight make you 'sickly'? :?

Where is Milner?

Injured I tink.

Heskey right back *fingers crossed* At least it will provide a bit of entertainment when i'm bored stiff watching our football.

If it bores you so much then don't watch.

I think this game'll be a 1-1 draw.

W Ham away is always a tough fixture, and we are obviously struggling to score goals at the moment.

Looking forward to it though.

A facking huge spider has run out from under my chair and is now sitting in the middle of the floor staring me out. Big thick jet black mother.

It's between me and the door. I'm trapped!

Stephen Fry,

Ah the interwebs moral crusader telling the masses what to think so they don't have to do it for themselves

...didn't I read on the interweb that he has given up as one poster gave him some abuse (it wasn't me before you ask)

When did he do this?

Family bliss etc.

Scratch this. He's been screaming non-stop since we got home. :?

Happy Monday for me. Still on paternity leave, so we've just been out to a lovely local bar/coffee place for a nice cuppa and cake with the wee one, and then walked along the seafront at South Queensferry.

Now I am going to kick back with a few beers.

Family bliss etc.

Didn't see the game but a point away at Goodison is not to be sniffed at.

Well done to the lads. Also good to see Carew off the mark.

Ref sounded like a clown.

That picture

We are through a tricky tie. That's all that matters tonight.

Guzan *adore*

GUZAN THE PENALTY GOD!!!!!

Who's on the bench? Ask commander!

Two right backs and a partridge in a pear tree.

bloody ET against sunderland with our full strength team, an barely any shots on target. Who reckons we will get top 4 ???

Get Delph an Albrighton on ..

Albrighton not on bench, but we do have 2 right backs. :?

Yeah I think you mentioned it before.

Cmon Villa let's put this to bed.

COLLINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNS

1-0!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Idiot.

CMONNNNNNNN VILLLAAAAA!!

Cummon Villa. Lets at least get knocked out of this competition by Man U in the usual obligatory fashion.

Thats FA Cup mate.

History tells us that we actually do well against Manure in this competition...

I know but it does feel like Man U have knocked us out of every cup for the last 10 or so years.....

If we win tonight you just know we'll draw them at VP, their favourite ground.

Cummon Villa. Lets at least get knocked out of this competition by Man U in the usual obligatory fashion.

From the comments on here I take we are the most useless team in the league?

In the world.
