I've just finished a ten-week course in London, trying to get a professional qualification. On the first day, the lads got chatting, 'who do you support' etc. Told them. Over the ten weeks, it became a running joke that we hadn't won a game (the Birmingham match was the week before I began). Of course, we never did win a match, so every week it was the same, 'so how shit were Villa this week then'. You have to laugh. If you didn't laugh you'd cry.

rubberman Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 So...Amavi: Made a few early mistakes but looked a great signing until he got crocked. Ayew: Took a few games, but looks good. Veretout: took longer, but given enough game time now seems to be coming good. Okore back and had a good game. There is definite, if painfully slow, progress being made. If Jack's kick up the bum has the right effect, who knows - we might be getting somewhere. IF they all start playing well consistently and at the same time....will probably just click in time for the next Arsenal game! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney_avfc Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Gary Monk is a gonner. Moyes or Rogers to give them a lift possibly I guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Surprise result against le Arse and we are one win away from rejoining the pack near enough. Christmas wishes sometimes come true... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 In true Arsenal form they will probably fail to progress tonight with plenty of "Wenger out" comments and bounce back against us to take the heat off him again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 When there is even a debate on whether the players you bought are better than Andi Pissing Weimann you know you done **** up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is ok to want more from these people yknow? Man Utd are battling for the title. Do the fans expect more? Of course they do. I think had laursen not got injured and **** off to a bigger club, nobody would ridicule such an opinion. Let's face it nobody batters an eyelid when Yorke, barry and young come under a bit of scrutiny in here. Yet all delivered much more to avfc than laursen. Yeah and Le Tissier never won the CL for Southampton. The word removed. Edited December 9, 2015 by rodders0223 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briny_ear Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) Without wishing to trawl back several pages to find out, can someone briefly explain what any of this has got to do with relegation in 2015/6?

leviramsey Posted December 9, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted December 9, 2015 Another Monte Carlo round, and we continue modest improvement: we now have a better chance of staying up than we did when Garde was appointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) 20 hours ago, Woodytom said: True Zatman. To try and remain positive I'm telling myself that this is just the average dogshit villa run we've become accustomed to. It just looks worse coz it's happening at the start of the season. Deep down I know however, that we don't have a manager as good as lambert nor do we have players anywhere near the level of vlaar, Delph and Cleverley. Even Weimann. As for benteke, whose hardly setting the world a light at plop. Well he's probably the best player we will have for the next 20/30 years unless something dramatic changes regarding our fortunes on how the club is run. Ayew is better than Weimann. Can't argue about any player coming close to the others you mentioned now Amavi is injured though. Lambert a good manager though....!

abdulaziz1 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 How on earth are people comparing Weimann with Grealish or Traore. Traore has only started once in a cup game and went injured. Weimann was the most player apart from Guzan to feature! Let Traore to play all that then compare him. To give a player less than 20 minutes every game and compare him ti someone who make all exciting you have to go just by seeing him in the team sheet is really unfair. Now that doesnt say that Traore doesnt frustrate by trying to go past 4 players all the times. Anyway I just hope Arsenal to qualify now. Could be better for us to play them than them getting out.

supernova26 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Better for us Arsenal win...they are an odd team that always turn up when they need to and when under pressure....as they won tonight and won their last Premier League match there isn't much pressure to win on Sunday for them...a draw would be fine for them. If this sounds like straw clutching, it's because it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
