Went to the game yesterday and as my family and I were driving down Electric Avenue, some Villa lads laid Blues kit onto the road and my brother did a wheelspin and ran it over to loud applause...

If anyone was there and took a video, I'd love to see it!

Bollocks to Huddersfield and Wagner... I too hope that they take repeated hidings next season!

I can't agree with that.

I rated most of his signings including the ones which didn't work out.

The only players he signed which I didn't rate at least to an extent were Bowery, El Ahmadi and Richardson. 

Benteke, Vlaar, Gil, Okore, Bacuna, Westwood, Senderos, Kozak, Cissokho, Lowton and Sylla in my eyes were all very good signings with a lot of potential.

We were also consistently being linked to quality players during that period.

My view is he assembled a seriously underrated squad - probably better than he realised himself but failed to get much out of them. I think he lacks a degree of self confidence or self belief which holds him back from becoming a top quality manager.

 

Really?

Young family moving to a new country, about to have their firstborn, not speaking the language, so depending on (apparently close to non-existent) support from the club.  Manager won't give him the time of day, not speaking to him for a month and then when things went belly-up publicly washing his hands of him and the other foreign players, saying they were not his choices, despite claiming he'd been scouting them for a long time at the time of their signing.

UK-based overpaid and underperforming players doing their anti-French Secret Santa video, showcasing an obvious dressing room split.

New French-speaking manager not given any support at all during the next transfer window, but instead left to struggle with a badly malfunctioning squad (I believe Garde was the wrong choice at the time - a Frenchman brought in when there were an obvious English-based vs. French newcomers split in the squad just swapped the us/them stances, but I still believe he might have been a good choice given a pre-season and some money to bring in the players he wanted.).

At the time of relegation, there were Villa fans on this and other forums worrying that Villa might indeed face a second relegation due to the abysmal state (and team performances) of the club. If he actually have said what DeadlyDirk claimed he did, I don't blame him at all.

Doesn't a lot of that first paragraph remind anyone of what happened with Matieu Berson??

Love Big Chris...

Really happy for him to be back to scoring and being cheered by fans again after his big move went sour and he got shat on...

Would have him back in a heartbeat...

If he can get Small Heath and Hull both promoted twice on poxy budgets, I have faith he can do the same with us.
Its been a big transitional season with almost an entirely new squad purchased in both windows - We have a lot of dross still kicking about and almost an entire first team of players who might still be useful out on loan.

Its worth giving the guy a shot at next season, he is a veteran in this league. He was putting out fires to start with, made some of the changes he wanted to make and the work continues from there... To kick him out now and get another manager in who could do a Di Matteo would be, in my opinion, a kneejerk reaction

I hope Huddersfield lose in the playoff finals on penalties...

If they wore a Blue & White scarf I am sure they would be labelled as scum by pretty much everyone on here......................................are we saying because they are fellows fans its just banter...really!

Scum

To be fair though, a blue & white scarf is a prerequisite to being a complete word removed

The troglodytes from St Andrews are calling Tony Xia a 'grass' and a 'snitch' for reporting Paul Robinsons attack on Chester...

Apparently assaulting someone because you are an utter mong is completely fine with these people...

Definitely not. I don't get this let's lose to help send them down thing. It's small time and imo we are better than that. If they manage to stay up then fair enough, and we will have another sold out Derby next season. What's not to like about that?

They might get jammy and win... Just like they did in 2011... And then it'll take bloody ages for them to shut up about it...

Nuclear fallout would dissipate before Blosers stop gloating about that lucky-as-**** cup win...

He's good at getting things off his chest is our rob.

But to do it so eloquently... It brought a tear to my eye

Agreed. First thing he said when he rejoined the scummers was "we need to finish above Villa". Obsessed.

Well that didn't quite pan out did it, you square headed shit-spewing retard.

I nominate you for Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom...

That line was a work of art!

Quite right too, none of this new man, bloke hugging how's your father. It's bad enough with the players hugging and kissing when they score. Although we seem to have managed to cut that down considerably over the last few seasons.........

The hugging and kissing?

or the scoring?

Nose on facebook kicking off about Radio WM bias till it was pointed out he was probably listening to the Villa version of the commentary (they split their coverage today on FM and DAB).

Thats legitimately hysterical!

Like I've before though I don't want them to go down, I enjoy the Derby matchs and think it's good for the city for have teams playing each other. So for me I want us to beat Blackburn after we beat blues.

I prefer being at least 1 division above them... I think that display of superiority is better for the city...

Lets them know their place... Like the inferior organisms that they are..

No I hate seeing this. I never want my team to lose

Neither do I...
But I also never want to see a Small Heath fan smile... So you take the rough with the smooth... If them going down is the only positive thing to come out of this season and we have to roll over to Blackburn to get it, then I will take it...

Has Zola been sacked yet?

He resigned mate

Such a shame

Ludicrous....
He was doing fine... The Scum fans were just expecting miracles overnight... Feel sorry for him that he felt so much hostility that he had to resign...

Managers just don't get enough time these days...

I hope they don't win the league...
Genuinely dislike how about 10 years ago we were so similar and now we are so far apart...
I'd rather Chelsea won it again - just to keep the status quo...
This whole business about having different teams winning the league has lost its appeal after seeing Leicester do it the year we got relegated...

Not a big enough name, though.

He would be once he got there and started scoring mind you...

He would rip that league a new arsehole!

What is an Evostik?

Judging by their name - im inclined to believe they make either adhesives or chew toys for dogs...

The idea of loosing friends over the team they support is completely alien to me. I have friends and immediate family who are Birmingham City fans, it means very little. 

Most of my mums side of the family are Blues...
Thought it was hysterical to be the first people on the phone to take the piss when they first got promoted and we couldnt get a result against them for a few seasons... Then suddenly its not quite so funny when they get relegated and I am on the phone giving them shit back...
Then they decided to go mug my brother off by going to Majorca/Alicante/somewhere in Spain instead of his wedding - so I dont speak to any of them anymore... The fact that they are Bluenoses means nothing; they're just tossers... 

One of my best mates and his old man are Cov fans. Lovely people who I have some to-and-fro football banter with that hasnt involved any malice, spite or urine/spit/foreign objects being aimed at me. So im sad for them that such a shitty thing is happening to a football club that they love and have loved for many years.

Just a shame people like them are very much in the minority when it comes to supporting certain football teams

I know its an easy one but Luis Suarez

His dive against PSG was tragic, especially when he was holding his throat afterwards! Taken the gloss off a great comeback by Barcelona.

 

The way he cheated to put Ghana out of the World Cup and then celebrated about it...
He is a grade A piece of shit!
