villanwesty88 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Sorry but the time has come for this thread. I think we are well and truly in a relegation battle AGAIN. Very lucky to be outside of the bottom 3 and it's getting really tight at the bottom. Where is the fight in this side? This is the worst spell of watching Villa since I've been following them. We are one of the most famous clubs, not just in English football, and the players look like they couldn't give a flying **** about wearing the shirt. Pathetic. These players need to take a long hard look in the mirror. How has our club fallen so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swerbs Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 We'll be in the battle for sure but we won't go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I think we will go down given our current manager, form and the promise of one loan signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I think the points I made are shown to be valid, almost to the point: http://www.villatalk.com/index.php/topic/9956-relegation-battle-13-14/?fromsearch=1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villanwesty88 Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share Posted December 26, 2013 The lack of ability isn't even compensated with any fight or desire. Too many attitude problems in the team & the body language is all wrong from some - Weimann, Benteke (of late) and Baker to name a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coda Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 There's an increasing stench of relegation about us. In the Houllier January window we spent big and it sorted us out. We won't be spending much this January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limvillian Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 (edited) I said it last year about this year and I still think the same. If we are in a relegation battle come March or April I would rather we went down. Every year for the last 3 we scrape by with little or no improvement. Dropping down to come back up (which I know is very difficult before people start)my be the boot up the rear we need.

samjp26 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 (edited) 3 points off the relegation zone, 6 points off bottom place. My optimism levels are depleted, our squad is not good enough to compete in this league. It makes me sad to say it again but rebuilding from the bottom up whilst trying to be competitive at this level is extremely difficult and unless we turn things around quickly we're going to be in big trouble. I'm not sure who is advising Randy but if we do go down we'll be financially stung and it'll be difficult to get back up again. This Christmas period contained some important games against Stoke, Fulham and Palace - we've lost them all. I can see us losing to Swansea and Sunderland if I am honest, followed by Arsenal, Liverpool, the Baggies at home and Everton. We could end up going up to 10 losses in a row at this rate. We need to invest in some quality in January before it is too late, but do I think that will happen? No, not at all, we've been told we'll make one loan signing IF we are able to afford that. Dark times await for us lot at this rate.... Edited December 26, 2013 by samjp26 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villanwesty88 Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share Posted December 26, 2013 I've taken a back seat with the way we've played over the last couple seasons and thought "it's only football", but today, it's really wound me up. These bastards are never worth the money they're paid. We're Aston Villa ffs! ASTON VILLA! The biggest club in the 2nd biggest city in the UK and we are woeful. We have some of the best fans, facilities and history - that's all Premier League. The side is Championship level and the attitude is what really gets me - that's Vauxhall **** conference. Off to stuff my face with mince pies and rum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayEm Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Still think it's unlikely we'll be going down, as getting Vlaar back will add some stability and Benteke has got to start performing at some point. But our current form really is inexcusable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Lerner spent big as relegation was unthinkable with the overheads at the time. Our current overheads are closer to Championship level. Thing is, our club will be worth a lot less if we were to go down, our attendances would drop, we'd make less money from sponsorships, ticket prices and of course the TV money. Lerner has played a dangerous game and our club could be ruined by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SempiternalVillain Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 (edited) Lerner's poisonous reign needs to stop. Stop moping around, gather fans and ****** protest! Otherwise we'll end up like Cleveland Browns! Who wants that? Edited December 26, 2013 by SempiternalVillain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 The teams shitter than us are winning and will strengthen in January. We are getting worse and won't strengthen.
