  1. No complaints about the manager or the ten who finished - they mostly gave their all and were the better team early doors. Ayew may be our most gifted player but if the club sacked him tomorrow then I'd applaud them for doing so. A totally selfish act that showed no consideration for his team or our club and I would seriously question his attitude after that.
  2. Best team he could pick. Once again, no faulting Remi whatever the result !
  3. Not sure there has ever been a more depressing match build up on the OS than "Richardson is battling to be fit" !!!!!!!!!
  4. Surely there is no story here. Money and "backing" is irrelevant, players will not sign for a team in our position no matter what.
  5. We played it like a training game and I'm not sure that bothers me to be honest. We kept the ball well and looked pretty comfortable in possession but they had world class strikers and we had pub football strikers and that meant we were always going to get spanked. Meaningless and nothing game and will be massively eclipsed by a 1-0 win at west Ham on Tuesday !!!
  6. I thought that ..... until I saw us play them. Now I'm just confused!!!
  7. Defence was brilliant, solid and organised. Midfield was energetic, solid and quite creative. Forwards ..... what forwards ? Great performance, full of effort but no forward threat. I said it last week and I'll say it again, we COULD do this if we invest in one or even two strikers.
  8. Nor am I - the point was that surely you don't go to VP to support the chairman or any off-pitch official ..... do you ?
  9. I was ready to give up on this division but if I was a Villa money-man then I'd go get - at any cost - a lively goalscorer because that is all we are lacking at the moment. Ayew can be that man but he insists on wandering back up the pitch to get on the ball which leaves us limited in the box. Just one player MIGHT do it but it has to be NOW !!!
  10. Need another fully committed performance today with plenty of ambition and positive football. If we still lose then at least the underlying form continues to improve. Leicester are near top of the league and if our best is not enough then its important we, as fans, don't start ripping into the players or manager for the result.
  11. Seeing him struggle to hide his passion for Villa on TV lunchtime makes it all the more painful that he is playing for the Mules and not Villa. Maybe he'll return one day !
  12. For me, going along and supporting the team doesn't equate to "being positive and simply accepting what is happening" ...... I'm not going to cheer on the chairman, owner, past managers or anybody that is ACTUALLY responsible for our demise. I'm supporting the players / the team as that's what I thought being a fan is all about !
  13. That doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me ..... in any respect ! So having no fans there is supposed to scare somebody and change something ? We are 95% (at least) certain to go down and we should get over it and stop being so negative. No amount of protesting at the ground or behind a keyboard is going to change anything, never has and never will.
  14. All I ask is anyone but Sinclair and Richardson ...... absolutely anyone !!!
  15. Club absolutely MUST do something big for the fans with this one. Massive discounts, maybe even free entry for anybody who attended the first game or maybe anybody who has a 5+ booking history this season. If they leave it at full price, there will be more stewards there than fans !!!
  16. Could we not get this contest on the big screen so we have an option as to what we watch ? May even get a stream for it !
  17. Love to go on Tuesday but ..... doing my hair that night !
  18. I take it that you'll be following some other more "successful" team next year ..... maybe SHA if they come up ? Yes the players have been shite as have those who own the club but its still Villa ..... you don't (shouldn't) just pick and choose when to support them. Have a word with yourself.
  19. Thanks for the advice but I'll be setting off shortly and supporting my team !!!!!!!!!! PS: Cheap Chelsea shirts going on Ebay if you are interested !
  20. Last time down they put up a marquee in the car park for away fans to have a beer or six ..... I gather that's a tradition for them on big games. EDIT: From contact at WWFC - " There's a beer tent on the left just inside the main gates. It's specifically for away fans but haven't seen any news yet on what will be on offer beer or food wise. "
  21. Word has it that Adama Traore will be driving so expect a very fast journey without any guarantee of stopping at any station, anywhere !!!
  22. Still remember going there one evening in the Cup and going in 1-3 down at half time ...... fans were trying to get on the pitch to batter the players as they left at half time. Second half we came out and scored seven !!! If we go in 1-3 down this time, I seriously doubt there will be a second half LOL !!!
