Here's hoping.

Lerner's waiting to see how Trump gets on with the elections. If he's unsuccessful, we can expect him here next season as Director of Football.

Is anyone heading down to Portland from Vancouver?

I'm waiting for approval from my boss for Tuesday and Wednesday off work (I live in Vancouver). If I get it, I'll be heading down Tuesday morning, anyone else going to Portland?

FFS tell Randy what a poor Manager McLeish is and persuade him to get rid of him.

We told him. He didn't listen.

Are 2012-2013 season tickets now on sale at Villa Park or something?

There are a lot, who unecessarily imo, refer to him as a clearing in the woods etc.

So what? He's frustrated many people with his negative tactics and bullshit this season. People are obviously going to get a bit irate.

What's your point exactly?

My point is simply there is no need for it.

The guys not the first person in the world to perform absolutely shite at something and be paid handsomly in the process -

try half the Villa squad for a start.

Calling him 'SHITE' or a 'CLEARING IN THE WOODS' its all the same really

Not really, my mums shite at break dancing. Shes not a clearing in the woods

Your mum is not shite at break dancing, I can vouch for that! Oh shit, wait a minute, break dancing is the same as pole dancing right?

Back on topic, McLeish OUT

Kuyt! Hahaha

Since I don't go to games or watch matches on TV and can only occasionally bare to watch a stream, I haven't heard McLeish get a load of abuse at games in the way that Houllier did, or am I just missing it?

Just out of interest...

Nah GH got faaaaaaaaaaaaar more abuse then AMC

Sunderland last season at home was just vile, the hostility towards Houllier was Blackburn esque. I think everyone has just accepted we're shit and we're boring to watch this season.

So why hasn't it got to this stage with McTosser yet . There are two ways to sort this out, make the home games so damn volatile in terms of abuse towards McLeish or just stay away and vote with your feet, yes both ways could have a bad effect on the players but we are pussy footing around in our abuse of this clown, the board need to see first hand some Kean esq kind of abuse.

My Ice Hockey team that I follow in Canada have just changed their coach as the General Manager said it would have been unfair to make him coach another home game due to the fans abuse and believe me they were pussy footing about compared to what Kean was getting at Blackburn, all I'm saying is we need to get a bit nasty now in either go pay the entrance fee and abuse McGinger to hell and back or stay away and make Villa Park like a ghost town, not good for the team but either McTwa.t will step down or thousands of empty seats should see Randy grow a pair of gonads.

Go Canucks Go! :winkold:

I really wish Randy would just sack this MON guy! I am sick of him wasting all our money on average tosh. The sooner he goes the better in my opinion.

Anyway, this Randy bloke, has anyone heard if he'll be in town for any of the remaining fixtures?

Can the words Martin O'Neill (including all abbreviations) be banned or at least restricted to the General football section? We tend to go round in circles every couple of months.

On another note, I also love Mazrim :notworthy:

Anyway, back on topic, I blame MON for signing shit players on high wages. Have we had this debate before?

Voted no - i presume the one who voted yes are probably blosers or Alex McLeish

It could have also been Emile Heskey!

and if it's true that McLeish has money

Where did you hear this Steve?

It was in the Sunday's mate, with quotes from McLeish himself. Sunday Mercury, Sunday Star etc. Have a look on Newsnow mate, it's on there for Sunday.

Denis, I agree about the funding issue but selling Bent would be a backwards step IMO. It's not easy, given who we have as Manager and his piss poor track record in the transfer market.

Thanks mate, i'll take a look!

and if it's true that McLeish has money

like Bent would go to Liverpool, with Downing it's understandable as their wingers were non existent or shit.

they have suarez, carroll and kuyt who unlike a lot of liverpool fans has been one of their best players this year. always scores crucial goals.

not that we ever could but getting rid of heskey and getting kuyt would be the signing of the summer.

Also Bent has been scoring goals. he is scoring 1 in 2 ffs. who was the last striker to do that for us whos played more than a season for us? I don't think there one in the last 20 years.

Even Yorke was 1 in 3.5.

The Mirror were going with story 'Suarez to be sold in the summer'. If thats the case, I would fully expect Bent to join Liverplop.

I think all twenty of them are going to look pretty silly.

and it will probably be the same twenty people that were dancing, sorry protesting, on the Holte End steps when Mcleish was first appointed!

A reporter asked Heskey about this one, he said "its a health risk if you ask me. Its impossible to stand up for 90 minutes without falling over'

So it seems rumours were going around that Rooney might be sold.. Man United were quick to put out a statement :

JournoRich Richard Laverty

#MUFC statement: "Any suggestion Manchester United and Wayne Rooney are to part company is complete nonsense."

Rooney himself :

WayneRooney Wayne Rooney

The independent are talking absolute rubbish my future is with Manchester United and the club and I are totally commited to each other

Now where is AVFCOfficial and DarrenBent's statement ?

Leave him alone! The guy is out shopping for christ sake, he hasnt got time to dismiss rumours.

Can we change the title of this thread to 'who is Randy?' Its been that long since I've seen his ugly mug I have no idea what he looks like.

I heard his wife filed for divorce because he keeps wasting his fortune on donkeys. Heskey refused to comment on the allegation.

Was he injured (again) today? Didn't see him on the bench?

Not that he would've offered anything anyway.

He's gran was probably ill

Who is this Randy y'all speak of?

Zzzzzzzzzzzz

General. Being a regular reader, I'm finding it fairly sickening to read some of the stuff on here directed at you and Randy. Occasionally, there's a voice of reason, but I hope you realise that this isn't necessarily representative of general fan opinion. Some people have very short memories, show an incredible lack of appreciation and totally simplistic views as to how a football club should be run. Yes we'd all like to spend £50m+ net each season, but the club has been run in the right way and it's ridiculous not to expect a level of financial control.

This forum is a great idea but sadly attracts extreme and disproportionate comment. Much as I've enjoyed your presence on the site, I would go so far as to say that if taints your view of the club and fans, it may be better to give yourself a break! How about focusing on attending supporter group consultations where it's more of a dialogue? Realise you're big enough to take it, but pleasing everyone is not going to happen.

Many fans continue to be grateful for the work you are doing and realise there are ups and downs.... a look down the road at our neighbours will show you how catastrophic the wrong owners can be. Thanks for your continuing efforts.

I'd also like to second the earlier excellent idea of 'acorns' on kids shirts.

THIS!

Unfortunately General the Internet can not be controlled and therefore we will get people coming onto this forum to air views when in reality they have no idea how a football club should be run. Keep up the good work and like TMHS says, I hope 'some' posters on this forum don't taint your view of club and fans.

Thanks General!!!!
