  1. Trolling isn't too bad just as long as it isn't blatantly obvious.

    Do you seriously believe that?

    Believe what?

    Never mind, I was just messing around responding to your post as though you were trolling but not being blatantly obvious.

  2. I can't decide whether the limited punning potential of the name Remi Garde is a good thing or a bad thing. Certainly thus far it doesn't seem to be stopping anyone from trying.

  3. Villa's record with anybody French is just shit, before the influx from ligue1 this season we have had Didier Six, David Ginola, Robert Pires, Matthieu Berson, Aly Sissoko and Gerard Houllier. You'd think we would have learnt by now........

     

    In superb VT style you've written off our new manager before he's had his picture taken.

     

    Ridiculous.

     

    We don't know whether he's had his picture taken yet or not. Pure speculation.

  4. I am also delighted we didn't end up with Rodgers.

    Likewise. This foreign geezer will start with a clean slate at least. Rodgers or many of the other possibles would have had 30% of fans against them from the beginning.

  5. Nothing to see here, just a bit of New Contract Syndrome. He's human, and so the part of his brain that makes him work extra hard has gone to sleep a bit. Drop him for a few games and if his replacements don't perform, he can come back with a bit more purpose.

  6. Do you guys reckon that the fact we are trying to hire a French manager adds weight to what Tim was saying about a lot of these signings not being his?

    Pah!

    I'll raise your Pah! with a Gah!

    I shall call yeour bliff with an enoourmous Hohehaw!

  7. Grealish has apparently Tweeted that he's 'gutted' about Sherwood's sacking.

     

    Yeah I also found that a bit baffling. I've been basing my explanations for the Grealish and the team's poor performances on the assumption that they couldn't wait to see the back of him. A bit of a worry imo.

     

    Because Sherwood showed belief in Grealish and gave him his first real run in the side. It's not baffling at all 

    Yeah, apparently Sherwood loved Jack, played him in most games, so no wonder he's upset.

    Yeah, true, although it was obvious to all but Lambert that he should be given a chance. Grealish and Benteke's form are a big part of what made Sherwood look good last season.

    Interesting. He gets my backing but I now longer find it hard to believe anything good can happen with us.

    :) Yeah, I don't know a thing about him, but just being the Aston Villa manager would suggest he's a "useless clown". Garde Out.

  10. Indeed, Sherwood and Garde seem like polar opposites, especially in terms of intelligence.

    If Garde has half a brain then this must be true. I know very little about football tactics, but I know enough about people to know that Sherwood has said some stupid, untrue, and counterproductive things about the Villa players.

  11. Now that Lambert has had the chance to get his head back together, I'd have him back as a 3rd or 4th choice, provided he agreed to maintain a competent and complete management team around him.

  12. I think GG being billed as our potential saviour is nothing more than Sherwood saying "These players you bought me are so rubbish I'm having to use academy players to try and save you from relegation."

     

    The club might indulge him while they find a replacement, but I think they'll see through it. Still, it'd be great if GG really is all that.

  13. I couldn't care less what a manager's personality is like. If he's focused and driven to win, that should be much more of a priority.

     

    I agree. It'd be nice to have a real livewire who knows how to win games, but to find someone like that we'd have to raid the Champions' League clubs or find someone that 90% of fans would say was too risky. It would have been better if Time had turned out to be that manager, but oh well.
