if we sign phil brown as manager ill eat my own shit.

didnt he have a heart attack once on the touch line? i think the villa job would be bad for his health.

Ireland is a good player when he's played in the correct position as shown for the first 45 minutes last night and the first 20 minutes against newcastle, when he's shifted into a holding midfielder role like he has been in the past 2 games he's shit but he's not to blame for that its the manager.

petrov - "it'd be nice to know who the manager is" coming from your own clubs captain absolute disgrace

General,

After seeing our team getting humilated 6 - 0 by newly promoted newcastle and now us being knocked out of Europe by Rapid Vienna yet again i feel both disheartened and disgusted.... its now up to the board to match the fans ambitions and get us a decent manager that will match the fans loyalty who turn up to games every week with the kind of football and winning mentality they deserve.

What happened to the Steven Ireland from the first half? Where the hell did he go? One of many things that have gone horribly wrong.

I can't believe it, but Hogg, Bannan and Lichaj would have done better out there - they handled this lot in Vienna!

Kevin Mugdonald playing him out of position all the time same against newcastle.

A.Young after the match

"wheres my **** agent im out of here get on the blower to one eye down at spurs i want to play in the champions league this team cant even beat rapid vienna"

ive always thought curtis davies had the potential to be a decent defender after tonight i dont think he has the potential to clean the VP toilets **** off back to the hawthorns on a nominal fee.

PULL YOUR FINGER OUT LERNER MCDONALD ISNT GOOD ENOUGH

another managerial **** up by macdonald..... Petrov to take the penalty? ive never seen such a blatent pen in my life its so obvious what direction he was going for he had no chance of scoring unless he found the corner heskey is a **** donkey how can you miss from TWO YARDS!

wtf petrov taking the penalty?

Ireland wont be happy being played out of position like this....

The everton scouts watching this game must be rubbing their hands with glee seeing those midfielders easily bypass our defence so easily running from midfield to get into goal scoring positions so easy... they have about 5 players in their squad that excel at that, Pienaar Cahill. Arteta, Osman, Bilyatedinov... im not looking forward to that game at all

Ireland is playing too DEEP!

Playmakers can play deep as well unfortunately ireland isnt a deep lying playmaker he cant tackle.

hopefully lerner will make the correct decision and place macdonald in charge of coaching the reserves its to much of a step up imo

were awful defensively.

NRC is a poor ball player imo gets the odd foot in i can see why oneil didnt rate him

Can't be poor if he's given it away once or twice. Unless it has to be forward all the time for you?

no hes just another average player that some on here spunk over

Average why?

Because he has no flair or dribbling ability? He's a defensive player. He's won the ball and played safe passes, which is exactly what is required. He's not a Wesley Sneijder ffs.

no hes makelele with legs

yeah if we defend like that against everton were in trouble.

lol that bloke with the black mullet is hilarious how many shots has he had into the holte end....

but at least we would have a larger transfer kitty to at least stand still at the moment i can see us just fading into midtable obscurity with a whimper perhaps he's happy with us finishing there every season churning out a profit

he needs to decide which is most important and which is the higher priority, cleveland browns or aston villa he cant carry on bankrolling both his cowboys and this football club if he has been hit hard during the recession like it is rumoured surely he needs to cut his losses and sell one of them

bring back big ron.

the idea of downing playing as a centre mid scares the hell out of me.

Goes invisible more than sidwell cant tackle and wont commit to any challenges and doesnt have the heart to track back and pick up his man ticks none of the boxes required for that position imo

happy birthday ireland

were defending so poorly were making andy carroll look like a 30 million pound striker....
