73% possession for Arsenal so far

Everyone who loves Villa wants the club to win tomorrow. Is it likely? Not really. Would it fix major problems that will haunt us all season, starting with the ineptitude of our manager? Not likely. If we lose, Gerrard should be sacked. Simple as. If we win, it's a valuable 3 points, but many of us will reserve the right to still wish him gone as that's what's best in the long run.

Now that I've said this, they're guaranteed to lose to Fulham. But that's football eh?

They're a great side. Good manager too. Many here were laughing at them barely a year ago.

Oh that's clever, well done. He is a fraud. Still no Champions League without Lionel Messi, still no trophies without lots of money. There are at least 5 better managers than him in the Premier League alone, and yet he is roundly worshipped as some sort of genius.* Which is football fans summed up in 1 post. Sheep. Enough people said it so it must be true.

Of course they wanna be us. It's their whole M.O.

Of course they don't. Football fans are inherently hypocritical, Small Heath would love to be us for instance. But hate us nonetheless. The important point was about the predictability of their football for the rest of us

Is it not just a different kind of predictable though? They've become everything they hated, they're like United under Fergie. Doesn't matter how long it takes them or how the game started, they'll win regardless.

Done

Still a joke we managed to lose to them in week one. Christ, they're awful.

Liverpool - a woman scorned. Could equal the league record win here.

Sorry I thought your question was rhetorical in nature!

Still a bald fraud. All the money in the world, still can't buy the one trophy he wants. He's an ungracious word removed too.

Bald fraud being exposed again. Even though it screws my FPL, you **** love to see it.

Why are our fans even discussing the race for Europe / "best of the rest"? As if we're involved. FFS we'll be lucky to finish 14th again.

Fair enough! Can't really argue with that mate

I don't get the argument that we shouldn't have a round badge because Citeh and Chelsea have one. They didn't invent them. They simply brought them back into fashion. We should pick the badge that's best for Villa. The logic appears to be that we shouldn't be seen to be copying the johnny-come-latelys. I think it's just as dangerous to strive to make the opposite choices to those clubs. Of course we shouldn't lose our identity. I don't agree that having a circular badge will result in that. There is loads that is unique about our club. Having a shit shield (or a floating lion) that only the hardcore traditionalists are happy with won't safeguard our identity.

We're professional, we is.

Horrid.

If Dave Woodhall is on your side, you might be on the wrong side.

Is this satire?

Agree to disagree then I don't want to see the Scouse Fraud given another penny. The only circumstance I'd accept this in is if he's somehow still here in January and we're in the relegation zone. Which I guess, with him in charge and his anal plug Christian Purslow calling the shots, is actually quite possible.

Worst thing we could do is stick with Gerrard much longer. Second worst thing we could do is give him more money. No more incomings is probably for the best just now.

Exactly the problem we had around the time of the Lerner rebrand. "Wow AVFC is a really strong rhyming acronym, great branding opportunity", not at all thinking how iconic the name ASTON VILLA already is. They also heard lion and star and just plonked them wherever - irrespective of how lame and useless the lion looked, and how the star was just floating pointlessly in the top left. All the latest version did was fix the lion and make the rest sharper, it's inherited all the issues mentioned above, so whatever we go with next, it needs to be smarter and have more say from the fans.

Good question that. Really hope it's not a case of "Well, they worked on rebranding Liverpool........."
