ciggiesnbeer Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 ridiculous going into yet another game with a failed manager. Wtf??? Even if there is some clause about Gerrard getting less compo after X games or X losses none of that compares with the cost of getting relegated. Every game with Gerrard in charge is points lost. I dont know what they are smoking in the boardroom but they need to come off it for a day and fix the damn football club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The three hour drive there and back is one thing….but the sight of us holding on, scurrying left and right in two blocks of 5 and 4 just to keep the score respectable……is not one I can summon much enthusiasm for if I’m honest. At least under the old regime, I had faith and respect for the manager as a person and knew he was trying his level best to come up with something that might work, might counter the opposition, might play to our strengths. At least then I had Hope the night before. Even when that smacked 6 past us the other year, I didn’t leave early, I stayed because there was a collective sense of being in it together and they were getting the best effort and sense out of the squad. There was a togetherness in adversity or in good times that made the journey and the game fun. not feeling that in any way at all today ^^^^ This is what happens when a terrible manager is kept on past their use or freeze-by date. It makes supporters feel bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not one to stay to end if we are getting battered, if we are losing 3-0 I will generally leave, tomorrow this could be before HT. Just feels like a lot of effort at the minute for what might be 45 mins of football. Does anyone else feel the same or am I just being a knob I think you have to make it fun for yourself regardless of the score. You know we are going to lose so just go there with that in mind and enjoy it. Think of it like a pantomime. Laugh at the non-existent midfield, cheer every time we make a pass, do funny chants every time there is a corner, bring a cabbage, shout at Gerrard, boo at full-time if it’s really bad.

CLARETANDBLUEFOXY Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 I’m really genuinely sad that Gerrard has made some of you guys feels like you don’t want to go tomorrow. Football is the joy we all have at the end of a long week and it’s a joyous peace of escapism for us all and I’m really sorry he’s taken that away from people and it makes me dislike him even more. Myself, I’m really looking forward to going and I’m going to take it with a pinch of salt as I know we will get drubbed. I actually feel quite relieved I’m going into it knowing we will lose rather than the annoying feeling of feeling like you have a chance and then we lose. Also, we can take our frustrations out on Jack by boo’ing 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a m ole Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 The thing I’m looking forward to most about this game is marvelling at Haaland, and that should never be something I say about a Villa game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My family think I should give it a miss for one game, they think I’ve got wound up too much this week from the defeat, expecting the SG sacking and not coming, poor transfer deadline window signings and now the inevitable resounding defeat tomorrow. I don’t miss games even in the worse conditions but my family said it won’t hurt this one game and it’s on tv anyway. It has surprised me that I’m genuinely thinking about it…something to sleep on.

I ended up just not bothering going to loads of games as it was all too much of a faff just to get annoyed. It's amazing how much Gerrard has damaged the morale of the fanbase in less than a year.

Villa are poor at the moment but I love your comment about Haaland. Sometimes it doesn't have to be all about Villa. Watching the world's best players can make the whole experience worthwhile. I'm an old codger so I no longer have a season ticket, but although I could watch the match on Sky at home my son and I will be wearing our Villa shirts and heading to a stunning local pub where the Landlord is a Villa fan. We will enjoy the game in good surroundings with cask ales and great company. Win, lose or draw it's all about the occasion. UTV. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Villa are doing currently, and what Villa could do are vastly different things. Nick, you have a short memory if you don't remember that Villa came within a few minutes of costing Man City the Premier League championship just over three months ago.

It won't be his last match and he'll cost you a fortune before he's old enough to buy his own tickets, but the rewards will be incredible. It's worth it though because my four sons and I built an incredible bond during countless trips to Villa Park .... Our spiritual home. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
