I actually remember when we were on a bad run last season, people saying " I can't see us getting another point " etc. Then we won 3 on the spin or something like that. Now we might get turgid/boring performances, but we are certainly capable of getting results IMO JV as I have said elsewhere Man City is no benchmark to anything. yes we can beat Leeds but they are just as likely to beat us. i genuinely have zero confidence in us right now and I haven’t felt this way since the dinosaur was in charge 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can they fire Bilic before he's even managed a game for them? That'd be really impressive. They’ll get through another 10 managers before Purslow swaps Gerrard for Big Sam. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 We can't have our head honcho ballin with mobsters, it brings shame by association on the club, doesn't matter how well or not he's doing, we have to cut him lose just for that asap.

There could be substance behind the scenes but I don’t think any of these links are based on something that is or isn’t going on behind the scenes given how the articles are framed, just seem like clickbait.

VillaJ100 Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Honestly if the crap start continues I can see Moyes going and West Ham being in for him which will be absolutely shit. And we'll end up with Southgate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 All shit-tier links so far but if Poch really is interested but Gerrard stumbles through enough results to survive his availability I can genuinely see this being viewed for decades as a monumental "what could have been". I'd bet my mortgage Gerrard doesn't survive the season but I have horrible visions of us having slim pickings akin to when we got rid of Smith when the higher-ups finally decide enough is enough.

I think Gerrard is here until at least end of the year. Just cannot see Pochettino at Villa at all, we'll end up with Dyche, Farke or someone of that ilk.

Vive_La_Villa Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 What a difference a year makes. This time last year we talking about breaking top 8. Now fans are saying we will end up with Southgate, Farke, Dyche etc. I think everyone needs to relax a little. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have zero faith in Purslow picking the right manager at this time. Can imagine he thinks Southgate is a safe pair of hands compared to Poch Nothing wrong with Farke either but he would not come to us now anyway as landed probably a better job 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If " only we'd taken our chances " we'd probably have 20 more points in the last 10 - 15 etc . A part of football is taking chances ffs. It was a good, solid performance regardless of how people want to catapult hurdles around it. We were as much responsible for them not " taking their chances " as them not taking them. Also, whenever people say " I was there " , as admirable as it is, people actually get a better view of the game on TV than from a certain fixed angles IMO. I'm not really convinced by SG at present but the pettiness is overshadowing peoples objectivity. Deano would have been adulated for a similar result. As a matter of fact he would have been adulated more for a loss if it " looked good " in spells. Great post! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
