Manager Slams Villa Boo-Boys

The Villa boss said: "It's terrible when the crowd gets on top of a player like this.

"There is just a minority element picking on certain players as scapegoats. What are they trying to do? Systematically destroy the confidence of each player? We must work together, not single out individuals for blame."

at 10am this morning was totally hacked off. Got tickets to go but have shagged my back up so couldn't make it. As of now I'm flying on a combination of strong painkillers, stella and 3 points. Awesome

Apparently lots of people put their backs out doing that.

We're in a title race now.

Alan Green keeps banging on about how Villa winning is good for Chelsea and Arsenal.

The thought doesn't seem to have entered his tiny brain that it is bloody good news for Aston Villa.

I see O'Neill got it all wrong again.

Well done on ruining the moment.

Only someone with the mental fortitude of Jane Austen’s most fragile female creation would allow anything let alone a sarcastic comment on the internet ruin a moment such as this.

I see O'Neill got it all wrong again.

James Milner’s first wife was Joan de Arc but the marriage was dissolved following a heated row.

Thought the ref was poor today. The game didn't flow for long periods due to him blowing up when he could have played advantage and to the amount of times the physio came on, mainly for Hull, which must have been at least 5 times.

thought exactly the opposite. the ref seemed to do really well and let the game flow. You cant blame him for the physio coming on, if a players says hes injured the refs are obliged to call on the physio. Good game for the ref.

Yeah, he really let the game flow apart from all those times he stopped it and spent ages talking to the players for no valid reason whatsoever.

the biggest difference is MON has been given what ever he feels he needs financially where as the other managers havet, they were also more succssful in a shorter priod of time, imagine if they had been given the same sort of financial backing?

Taking into account ‘football inflation’ do you not consider that the deals for the likes of Balaban, Merson, Stone, Boateng and Angel are at least equivalent to those of MON?

What I'd like to know is who this person is with a reputation as a friendless, brain-dead, toilet loitering, lying, egomaniac, nervy poor man's Shakin' Stevens who is apparently so worried about protecting his reputation. Sounds like my Dad.

We would all like to know that!

The Mods must surely have the ability to find out the identity of each and every person who has said no and forcing them to say what manager they would like to see in MON's place. I'd say Roberto Martínez by the way.

At about 1.00pm on Saturday would you mind posting "I'd say Harry Redknapp by the way"?

I'm actually a bit of a fan of NRC but I must have missed his tranformation into Zinedine Zidane.

see what happens when you use your subs mon?

I'm pretty sure he knows what his subs to do. Aint MON the bloke that bought on Heskey to set up the goal against Wolves, or the one that bought Carew on to score past Everton? Don't understand comments on here at times. :?

The manager's changes at Sundrewz also seemed to be quite crucial to the outcome.

James Milner is Randy Lerner's favourite player and that is actually a true statement!

Are you by chance implying that some of the statements on this thread might possibly not be true?

James Milner's paper round was Wainwright's coast to coast walk. He did both the morning and afternoon papers.

James Milner employs X Factor winner Steve Brookstein as a butler and odd job man but has banned him from wearing a bowler hat.

Wasn't it just one Mini?

He actually destroyed Celtic in the end giving Balde, Hartson, Sutton really long and expensive contracts before he left which Celtic are crippled by today. He is a good manager but not a great.

Nobody outside of British Isles has heard of MON or think he is a top manaegr they know the top managers like Wenger, Fergie, Hodgson

Why on earth is Hodgson a top manager?

Took Switzerland to the World Cup for first time in a long time,

Took Finland to a whisker of qualifying for Euro 2008 and got 24 points an impressive total for any team.

Took a Fulham team that cost less than our 2 wingers combined to 1 place below us in the league after a miracle survival the year before

Took original Premier League rich kids Blackburn on the road to relegation.

Salman Rushdie wrote the copy for the ‘naughty but nice’ fresh cream ads.

Habib Beye is **** terrible.

I must admit I'm not a fan.

**** OFF YOUNG

Leave him alone you big bully.

Surely Carew should take the penalties.

I possibly saw more people in Small Heath shirts at Tesco's in Shirley at 3.30pm than actually attended the Theatre of Shite.

Heard Heskey elbowed Heitinga, anyone tell me if that happened? Cos I know Heitinga was flat out for a while.

If there's any justice he'll get a ban - video evidence or no video evidence.

I would love to play for Small Heath against Villa.

It would then just be a question of how many own goals I could score before being substituted.

Let me get this right, there was no point beating Liverpool and Chelsea?

I thought beating them was the whole point.
