After reading the comments throughout this thread I think the overiding theme coming from the posters is that we need success (4th, a cup, etc) at any cost otherwise we cant be happy or enjoy Villa. I think we need to take a step back, appreciate who we have playing in the team, accept there will be good results and bad, good seasons and not so good seasons and get back to enjoying Aston Villa. I remember when our biggest star was Nobby Solano (albeit a good player). Now we've got people like Bent, NZogbia, Gabby, Given, Delph, Albrighton. People need to enjoy what we've got, watch the young players grow and each season hope rather than expect and demand success. As long as the club is stable finacially (unlike Leeds), will be around for ever (Wimbledon) and doesn't compromise it's identity (Man City), i'll be happy.

Maybe there is a link there Who mentioned anything being criminal? ItI agree.

i wouldn't say we're playing badly at all. However this season has been so frustrating you could just cry: conceding a goal from a corner = standard Villa this season conceding a goal 2 seconds befor half time = standard villa this season bad habits

United have beaten lots of quality teams over the last decade with last gasp comebacks...it's something they will always do with Fergie in charge. It's just belief and attitude. That is why taking 3 or 1 points from Man U is such a good result. The young Villa lads looked great today and, when the dust has settled, this performance should give them great belief and confidence. This season will be up and down and I reckon we will finish mid table, but the future is very bright at Aston Villa

i abhor this thread...MON has brought nothing but good times since his arrival and frankly i find this very disrespectful and reactionary
