Too true! Ive ticked Ecks box. I do like the man, and i really do believe that with the right backing, he would do well for us. And if does not get it, then how will we ever know? I think the man has been put in a very difficult position.

Also, remember the reasons which he stated for signing for us? Well, if i were him, i would be thinking ive been taken for a prize prat. I wonder if the manager was told a similar pack of waffle?

Agree. I think Zoggy will be better employed in the Heskey role. Trouble is, besides Albrighton, we are struggling for widemen.

Told you about bringing your boots along to our next home game :winkold:

Not to worry, we have Ivanhoe the terrible. Stand up lord Heskey!!

Barnstormer coming at Everton then!! Hope im not to pissed to miss it :oops:

With Zoggy, you get one good game in 4/5, but those good games are usually really good. Its a bedding down process at te moment and a little bit of a learning curve for both the Zoggy, the manager, and his team mates. He will improve as the games go on, as i think we are witnessing. He was not brilliant on saturday, but it was not as bad as he was at Fulham. I think Saturday he was trying just a little to hard to show us what he can do. If he had released the ball earlier on certain occasions, we would of won the game, and singing this guys praises!

Great post. I think it's about time fans woke up with regards to the board. They're treating us like mugs. The fact the general has gone AWOL on Villa sites, but has the time to speak to students on facebook should tell you something. So much for being busy with his job. The fans who still go in that thread and suck up to him when he clearly doesn't give a shit about what anyone thinks now is the most embarassing part. Have some **** dignity. These mindless posts don't relate to anyone really. Most sane people will care about 'whether Randy lerner has a Villa tattoo' about as much as Randy Lerner cares if they themselves have a Villa Tattoo. Seriously, what are you guys on with? Im not falling for the PR bollocks. I just never took it seriously in the first place, and therefore dont get upset when theres a chance it could actually be bollocks. Of course their treating us like mugs. Of course they want to make money. They see us coming a mile off. Its their job As for Makoun, its not worked and I see no problem with getting rid if it allows us to bring someone in that were more likely to use. FWIW, though, if we don't sign someone else my 'neutral feelings for Randy Lerner will not alter, as I am able to accept that the guy doesn't want to lose money. Mindless posts and what are you guys on? Man, you really are full of it. I mean, your "neutral feelings" for Vampire Lerner, does not stop you and a few other of your lemming mates, jumping down the throats of those that question him, so maybe not so neutral eh? So get off your high horse, because at the end of the day, you know no more or less than the rest of us, certainly not enough to jump down peoples throats, cos you think you know better.... "Neutral feelings" lol

Woody, I seem to have hit some deep seated nerve with you, regarding denial. Im ever so sorry. Embarrassing ourselves on the Generals thread? People are concerned about the club they love, and have a right to ask him questions, however hard. They are afterall paying customers whom actually love the club more than our absent friends seem to do. No, whats more embarrassing is the odious arse licking that goes on. "Oh General, let me smell your underpants, you are lovely" The sooner that self centered egotistical buffoons like you, wake up and smell the coffee, we might progress. Otherwise you, may still be licking Randys arse when we are playing the likes of Hull City next term.... "Oh Randy, your doing such a wonderful job" Just because we have an owner with a Porn star name, does not mean he has the right to treat this great club as a plaything, and its hard pressed supporters as pricks. Oh, and whilst im at it. If you wish to "embarrass" yourself on the Generals thread, ask him if Randy has heared from a certain Nicholas Padfield over the last month or so!! Bet you dont get answer, even if he did manage to climb out of his pit. Thats all im saying on this for now, but please dont get too upset when others like me, point out your living in denial, when it comes to that nice Mr Lerner, with his Villa Tattoo :oops: (Bet you still think hes got one )

What? The way hes treated us? Were letting him? Its a football club. A business. Get with reality!!!! I could reverse that Woody Sometimes that sky you see out of the window, is in fact.....just that. sky. Denial is a bigger problem than the cause of the problem :winkold: Jeez, im starting to sound like eric cantona, so im off :oops:

He looks better than last season, but its still not at his best. Still looses a little concentration here and there, but i guess he always has done. Not at his best yet, but hes getting there. Also, have you noticed how Dunne plays better, when we have a solid left back beside him? Warnock was shite last term, as was Dunne, Warnock has improved so far this term, as has Dunne. Connection???

General, Is Randy prepared to let us get relegated in order to get his loans back?

I think its getting pretty close to the Lerner and Yank go home banners being hoisted up around Villa Park. Problem is, the treacherous vampires are never at the game anymore, which kinda shows you just how much they care. Would Doug have treated us like this misfit is doing? We are being well and truly shafted here, and the embarrassing thing is not that hes doing it, its that we are letting him. I guess we have what we deserve, and i can tell you this, you aint seen nout yet, otherwise General Napalm would be on here spouting his bullshit :winkold:

Un **** believable..........another one goes out the door. Lerner is a vampire, and will bleed this club dry until people start to wake up, and stop kissing his arse!!!! Get ready for others, because General Napalms continued absence points to worse news to come. Never mind, Lerner is a nice man :oops:

Second bottom in the championship i hear!

Once Randy sees precious, he will grab it. I bet that was in the back of his mind when he bought him. Not as a team asset, but i financial one that he can chip in when he desires, and proberly make a little profit on top. If the right offer comes in, he will be off.

Think the lad deserves a thread of his own 8) Did well against Hereford, and stepped up to the mark once again today, and at a higher level of opposition. Looks hungry, has a good engine, brave, and comfortable on the ball. Money saved?

If this is what Randy's ambitions are, then its time he fooked off. Boring, shite and stagnent Football that will only have the bankers happy. Oh well. at least i saved my entrance money, just like our absent leader. The struggle has begun.........

General, On top of Faulkners letter telling him how disapointed he was that my 12 year old has not renewed, he is now recieving phone calls from the club!!! What is the law in this country, about pestering children for money? If that does not piss me off, my experience of tuesday did it for me. Firstly, we were told that their were only four seats left together in one section of the ground, the family stand. Suprising that when we got there, there were literally thousands of empty seats left, all rows of them. When i buy i ticket general, i want to sit where i wish to sit, and not where some ticket office staff wants me to. You see General, we go home and away, week in and week out, and dispite my 12 year old not having a season ticket anymore, our loyalty is unquestionble, dispite what your lapdog faulkner says. But it did not end there...... My eldest son queued for a bottle of beer, and only got to the front of the queue as the second half kicked off. He was then refused to be served because of that!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ive now decided that you won't see me at our home games for the rest of the season. Im reigning in my expenditure on the club, and will be concentrating on the away games, where we are appreciated and treated better...... That is all

He was an attacking midfielder at Celtic. Thats still an option for us, if we can find the right blend in the middle. But i guess time has just moved on.

Proberly fund Lerners leaving party in New York

Its amazing how a win can make people forget just how small our squad is. Its size makes it virtually impossible for people like Ireland and Makoun, not to get a chance. Its up to them to take it when it comes. One will, the other wont, no guesses in whom.

He will get his chance. We have a small squad, and i think the gaffer has settled on a formation that will evolve as the season progresses, and that progress will include Makoun. Its been important for him to get off to a non losing start, and thats due to the pressure from us, and the media. He has had no honeymoon, and will not get one. His team selection reflects that..... Like i said, a little patience is needed.

Makoun will be a revelation for us. A little more patience, people.

Both played along side Petrov and neither have reach the level of consistently good performances for their new employers - maybe just maybe it was Petrov doing all the unpleasant things that allowed these two to play to their full potential.
