Any Villa fan hoping for a Middlesbrough win tonight should simply be ashamed of themselves. It's as straightforward as that as that. Will you be disappointed if we win? Totally unacceptable stance.

Lord Willard Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Didn't the Leicester players stop playing for Raneri? Got him sacked new manager takes over then they magically look like a side again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel better ? This made me chuckle. It also reminded me that football is still a game, and the sooner we get rid of Bruce the sooner we can start playing the game properly again.

Perhaps if the administering of the aforementioned punishment could be by a leggy temptress scantily clad in leather boots and not much else, then I can make a decision as to whether you are a proper Villa fan or not. As a guide; Miss whiplash as mentioned above = Boro win. You're one of our own. Butch female tennis player = Draw. You're still one of our own Norah Batty look alike = Villa win by six and Bruce stays forever. You're still one of our own but you need serious help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of us can just see the bigger picture than just the next game. I'd rather lose tonight to seal Steve Bruce's fate and hope to appoint a forward thinking attacking managers that goes to win 25+ games this season and get promoted. If Steve Bruce wins tonight, he'll have another 2 games that we will draw and lose. Gaining 4 points out of 9. Bruce is clueless, open your eyes! None of this is factual - you're just making things up (unless you're psychic? Fair play, if so). I can make stuff that can be positive, rather than negative, if you want. Look: If we win tonight, the tables will have turned and Steve Bruce will go on to win every single game for the rest of the season. We'll be Champions. Open your eyes! The only thing I know, for sure, is that if we win, we get 3 points and this helps us move up the table. Losing is worse, we get 0 points. Steve Bruce was a sound appointment after Di Matteo, and look how things are going. There's no way of knowing what may happen after Bruce leaves the club. Thus, how can you actively want the team to lose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 This under 23 side would probably beat our first team right now......SB needs to find a way of utilising O'Hare and Doyle Hayes.....they have the guile to unlock defences with their quick feet and sharp reflexes, they see a pass much quicker than most. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilbertoAVFC Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Hope we get spanked. 0-3, half of Villa Park leaves, the other half stays for a round of "f**k off potato head", Dr Tony finally gets the message, appoints the guy who taught him a lesson at the weekend. Onwards and upwards. Sorry not sorry UTV! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thus, how can you actively want the team to lose? Of course it's hypothetical. Predictions are? Bookies make a living on people making wrong predictions. I was hypothesing. I could be right or wrong. Over the last 11 months Steve Bruce hasn't shown he'll do what you're saying... winning enough games to get us promoted. Hasn't he won 2 out of his last 12 league games? I can comfortably predict the right manager could do better than that. Steve was a sound appointment at the time, we all hypothesed he would get us up and it's looking like we got it wrong. Better to correct your mistakes than being ignorant and saying he still is the best man for the job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you know VB i am not the anti Bruce kinda fan.....but I do think he is doing himself a disservive. That debacle on Saturday and conversely the dismantling of Southampton last night by the under 23's (with them having first team defenders in) would suggest to any underfire manager......give them a go. Assuming he stays .....he needs to be more intrepid, then the players might be. Edited September 12, 2017 by TRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall you saying something similar just the other week about this thread and all the mad Bruceouters, who now make up the overwhelming majority it seems. Maybe it wasn't them that was mad ? As regards tonight you have, either deliberately or due to the intellectual effort required, missed my point. I have not said I " want a thumping big win for Boro". Although I do understand that if that's somehow what you have read I can see you would have found it so filthy and depraved. I said IF losing means we get rid of Bruce and winning means keeping him I hope we lose. As I cannot possibly know that will happen I will approach the game as any other and sing my grubby treasonous insane little heart out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As one who waited for him to change it I can tell you you will be disappointed hoping for that bravery and 'intrepidness'. Shame, because if he did it he could STILL save himself and us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
