VillanousOne

Wouldn't say supporter. I was willing to give him time to make his mark on the team. Time's up now. Please let the first thing I read tomorrow morning be "McLeish sacked. On the way back from an appalling showing at White Hart Lane, Randy Lerner personally stopped the bus and kicked Alex McLeish on to the side of the motorway, whilst throwing his P45 at him. Reports suggest that as the bus drove off, the players threw handfuls of their own faeces at the clueless disgrace." I think a lot were willing to give him time just weren't very vocal about it, but at least people now see it cannot go on. we will just get more propaghanda from Lerner about what a good choice Eck was and Eck/the club will no doubt post another article soon about how great Heskey is and how Hutton is getting better all the time!

so who here would rather we played Nzogbia and Bannan and just went for it? I'd rather we lost 4:2 and gave it a **** good try than 2:0 an the most inept performance i have seen from a Villa team in decades.

Given: 6 - couldn't do much Cuellar: 5 - From ok to woeful - this was not the game to bring him back Hutton: 3 - can't defend, poor going fwd. Collins: 2 - Elmer Fudd defender liability award winner Dunne:5 - Generally poor but was overun Warnock: 5 - Tried but rarely succeeded Herd: 5 - A passionate but ultimately headless chicken who looks like a league one player Petrov: 4 - Captain useless Heskey: 4 - Never wins 50/50s, crosses when he can shoot and generally offers sweet FA Gabby: 5 - Ran and ran but had no support Bent: 0 - Utterly **** hopeless and the worst striker performance in a villa shirt i have seen since John Fashanu Subs: Bannan 5 MOM - why because he actually completed a pass on the ground Delph: Not worth rating Manager: Eck 0 - If you're going to select 6 defenders you maybe want to tell them to close down and tackle in and around the box, not just flap like a bunch of girls. He needs to realise that playing Herd and Heskey is making him look a total waste of space of a manager. This was the worst game I have seen since the O'Leary and second reign of Graham Taylor. Ireland, Nzogbia, Bannan are the only players who have the ability to improve us, although i doubt anyone believes they will.

surprised Harry hasn't subbed himself on

nice tackle Petrov best thing that's happened all game for us

Thank god we've not got any of the top 4 teams coming up we'd get murdered....... oh.... wait

I thought strikers always score against their former clubs we could play Spurs every week for a year and Bent wouldn't score!

Herd is absolutely useless

i hope Lerner is **** watching and suffering as well

maybe he doesn't deserve a place on the team but i fear no-one would choose Herd and Heskey over Bannan and Nzogbia right now! can't believe how little faith McCleish has in his players that we go away to Spurs and he shits himself and puts out 6 defenders, maybe he will take off Gabby and Bent and play Clark and Beye up front!

Solano had flair but our game has been about pace and wingers for a long time not about the midfield. We turned Petrov into a defensive player!!! do you remember Hadgi (spelling?) flair player and couldn't get a game!

showing off that you have written or own a book is helping no-one and probably off topic!

sigh, bricking it because we are playing Spurs...... how things have changed to win we'd need to actually defend for 94 mins, and have Zog, Petrov and Gabby on fire. yep no chance really.

he hasn't raped or killed anyone, he has acted like a prize tit but leave the courts to bring him to justice. He has been by far one of our best players this term and if he can help us defeat the likes of Spurs I couldn't care less if he'd been captured on CCTV stealing a flat screen from Currys during the riots! I only really care about what he does on the pitch, unless he is doing something directly to another player or staff at the club that prevents them from doing their job properly. Aka John Terry doinking Wayne Bridge's ex. If his head is in the right place i would start him in a heart beat.

He has got better and better in the last three games and deserves a goal. Funny how people seem to forget how utterly ineffective Ash Young could be probably alot of the time, yes he had the class to change a game but often his free kicks and corners and decision making could be terrible, Gabby has been guilty of it in the past to - and people would always say he 'wasn't good enough' and yet now those same idiots rightfully worship him. I am sick of the endless negativity about Ireland, Nzogbia, Heskey and Eck. People are entitled to their opinions but we are stuck with the above and need to get behind them. Alan Hutton you say? Oh erm ok maybe there are exceptions

Given: 6 Warnock: 6 Dunne: 7 Collins: 6 Hutton: 5 Herd: 6 Petrov: 7 Heskey: 6 Zog: 7 Bent: 8 Gabby: 10 subs: Jenas: 6 Ireland: 6 we gave away possession too easily and free kicks in dangerous areas, but i do genuinely feel we have started playing with a lot of attacking promise. Zog looks like the player we signed in the summer - but he's not quite in tune with his team mates but that will come. If i could make one change it would be Herd at RB and Jenas midfield ad maybe Bannan for Heskey although Heskey did ok today.

Gab didn't get booked Zog did so shouldn't be suspended??

er what did Ireland do wrong???

here we go again!

c'mon!

he's no Friend of ours

keep barging them over needlessly

how was that not a free KICK????

how was that not a free KICK????

why the **** was Zog booked? **** off ref you're worse than Hutton!
