    Christmas 2014 - Awesome or Turkey?

    in Off Topic

    My favourite time of year.

    **** the haters

     

    Consider me "****"ed then. All I hear in my head when walking around shopping centres with the piped-in bloody humbug carols is "remember, shoppers: spend, spend, spend".

     

     

    It could be worse. You could work in one of those places.

     

    I have to listen to the same 20 christmas songs, on a loop, 9 hours a shift, for 8 weeks.

     

     

    I'm near suicide already.

    What I can't understand about Lambert appointing Keane is after sacking his two best mates for alleged bullying incidents did he go and bring in one of the games most nasty and vindictive players of the past 20 years? Was it that Culverhouse's bullying not up to scratch?

     

    Ok I'll give a more in-depth response: how do you know he's nasty and vindictive? Because the media makes him look like an evil barsteward at every possible opportunity? Because that's the image he's been charged with?

     

    Keano has a cult image. Everyone thinks he's some sort of maniac and he plays the character very well. Again, referring to his latest book, he talks about today's football not having characters and drama that keep fans entertained. He said today's footballers focus purely on the game and there is no real pre and post match "extras."

     

     

     

    "Oh look, Keano's kicking off and being mental again!" Or maybe, as captain, he was defending Neville, who Viera was trying to pick a fight with (we don't see that bit though, eh?). Keano even admitted in that incident that Viera would probably have killed him, but it was his duty to see that Neville wasn't bullied by a much bigger bloke.

     

    So yeah, Keano may flip his lid sometimes, but it's only because 1) it's his character and 2) he gives a damn.

     

     

    Try telling me this guy isn't a good bloke to have at Villa:

     

     

     

    To me, Keano is akin to a Sergeant Major. Yes you may think he's a right c*** but he's only shouting at you because he wants you to do well!

     

     

    Don't believe the media BS! B)

    Starting to think this guy might be more trouble than he's worth.

    Keano has a massive drive to win and succeed. You get a real feel for it if you read his latest book.

    Villa need that more than anything at the mo. I can't think of anything worse than losing such a strong and influencial figure at a time like this.

    I'd put money on his direct influence over the Spurs and Hammers games - ok the result weren't great, but the players look like they had drive, rather than just giving up at the first hurdle.

    And what about the other games? Does he not have a direct influence on them?

    If not, then I really don't want him here as I want an assistant manager who is interested 100% of the time.

    If yes then he's contributed to more bad results than good.

    I really don't see the positives in publicly speaking negatively about a players family member, not do I see the positives of say he'd sack villa off if the Ireland results started to go bad.

    I like keane, think he's entertaining on tv, but he's well known for being disruptive.

     

     

     

    Well yeah, he definitely had an influence over the other games - the undefeated streak at the beginning was definitely "The Keane Effect." I was using the last 2 games as an example of the bad times... and fighting through them rather than giving up.

    No Benteke, no hope.

     

    Which makes absolutely no sense, as our undefeated streak at the beginning of the season was minus Tekkers. Personally, I think Tekkers was very selfish at the Spurs game. During the game he took a punt at goal and fluffed it... if he had simply tapped it to Westy (pretty sure it was him) then he would have had an easy tap-in. Even ignoring the red card, you could see he was getting frustrated with the fact he hadn't scored since being back - that is dangerous for us. The last thing we need right now is individuals trying to prove themselves and getting pished off when they can't convert. The team needs to be glued together and all working in tandem.

     

    As for Stewart Downing:

    - In 63 apps for Villa he scored 9 goals (9 ÷ 63 = 0.142 goals per appearance)

    - In 41 apps for the Hammers he's scored 3 goals (3 ÷ 41 = 0.073 goals per appearance)

     

    Granted, goals aren't the be-all and end-all... but with that kind of stat, I'm not really bothered by him. So what, he's been called up to England... so has Delph and I haven't seen him do much.

     

     

    Diafra Sakho on the other hand has scored 6 in 7 apps - that's worries me like fook :mellow:

    I've been scouring the net and seen a lot of cocky attitudes and arrogance from West Ham fans. Some going as far to say they will smash us 5-0.

     

    Andi... you wanted a hat-trick a few weeks back. Now is the time for you to fulfill that! Batter these colour-stealing mongs! :twisted:

    I took a major positive from the Spurs game: Villa have found the attitude and spitting violence that has been absent for so long. Ok, so Tekkers took it too far, but watching Andi get angry put a massive smile on my face :twisted:

     

    A p*ssed off Weiman and a p*ssed off Agbonlahor, in my eyes are going to be a threat. Ok, so we're not going to thrash them 5-0, but I can feel it in me bones... we might nick this if they channel that energy properly.

     

     

    Disappointing results + anger at being robbed in the last game + Keano effect (attitude / spitting violence) = I predict a riot.

     

     

     

     

    (A lot of people at my workplace are Hammers fans and I'm really gutted this one isn't being televised :( )
