Lerner's Driver

What is it they say, absence makes the heart grow fonder? Hell, some folk even pine for Sadam and that Hitler fella. Bring back Big Eck!

Tending to girlfriend.

It's all so typically Villa. The occasional burst of hope and good form followed by a period of sustained, complete and utter capitulation to dash those hopes. Once you understand that, it becomes easier to accept.

Hogan, motm for his utter pointlessness.

A horrible performance that was vintage Bruce from start to finish.

Defence still ropey, though improved a fraction. Midfield is the weak link now. We don't hold the ball, we don't pass quick enough, we don't look for space or create it and we ball watch. I spent that whole half screaming at the amount of room their players had to run into.

That was pure Bruce style aimless, shapeless, runny, cack.

Quite so, Holmes.

Agreed, Maupay is a suitable replacement and has begged Smith to take him, so this hasn't just arisen, it's been on the cards and we have the matter in hand.

Err, substitute 'Wolves' for 'Massive f****n pay rise' and you become far less emotionally invested in the outcome. That's what Tammy and every other footballer does.

More likely he's been fed a line by his agent.

Shame if so, he was a good source. Perhaps he's finally been outed.

Is it just me or has that bloke's account just disappeared today? I know his account is locked, but I was following it before he did that.

Yeah yeah, that's all very well and rational and that, but as the more emotional among us would have you remember, it's f***in garbage mate because we're Aaaaassston Villlllla, by far the greatest team, you'll ever f***in see. Yeah? Innit.

Maupay basically leant forward and spread his money maker, in a cum 'n' get me plea to Smith over the weekend, so summat's oop.
