Mantis Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Really looking forward to the Bolton game. Going with a load of mates from work (none are Villa fans) and they can see how shit we are under McLeish. They also think he's gash and are ready to abuse at will.Excellent. If it's another shit performance or another draw or loss then McLeish deserves it with both barrels. I mean, he deserves it anyway but I think it'd be a bit silly to shout too much abuse after a win.

Zatman Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 If he has sense he can get a result on saturday. Sunderland are a tired team and are there for the taken and could also motivate the younger players with a speech like if he was still in charge their is no chance you would be near the 1st team. Doubt he will do either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumstopdogs Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I see Mcleish has been talking about that O'Neill will be fired up coming back to Villa Park. Already he's trying to look for excuses and worrying about the opposition! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeps Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Only 3 more home games to go and then my time spent going to VP on match days comes to an end. Well done Lerner, well done McLeish, you have achieved in one season what no woman has managed to ever achieve, you've stopped me going to the Villa. I heard this said by so many supporters who go back some way in there support for villa. I have to decide on renewell for next season . What the heck is going on. Last season I went to many games home and away. Under MON I went to god knows how many. The day I got home from work and AM was announced as manager I sat there and watched his presser and was disgusted. I turned to who ever was with me in the room and said "I will not going to a villa game with him in charge. Randy and Paul won't get a penny out of me". It's killed me as I've stuck to my word and even thou we are shit I really miss it. But if this idiot is still here next season I will still stay true to my word. But that's just me and were I lay and how I feel about bein let down by the appointment. #gettheECKout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Oddly enough I've been to a lot more games than usual this season. Don't know why. I think it's because there have been so many draws/defeats and a lack of goals, so I keep on going just so I can finally get to celebrate some goals and a win. That and I've been sitting in the North Stand Lower, which has a much better atmosphere than most sections of the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bose Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 We've won one game in the last three months and a whole two in the league in 2012. That's some feat there by McLeish. He's certainly taking his time "winning us over". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read the comment in brackets, it's clear who I mean by that. I remember in O'Leary's last year, Sven had annopunced he was leaving the England job, and We really wanted shot of O'Leary. There was a massive banner at the last away game saying ' O'Leary for England'.:-) As you say club before country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overdubber Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Was thinking back in Jan if this thread would hit the 1000 post mark. Now seems it will go way beyond that. Basicly 1000 odd posts about how negative our football has become.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 First lines defending him last lines attacking - Graham Taylor... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17746583 The 67-year-old, who led Villa to second place in 1990 before becoming England manager, explained: "I just think it's better to lose a game by trying to win it. I don't expect everyone to agree with me but it's better for the supporters, spectators and the game as a whole. "If you are preparing your side not to lose - and I'm sure Alex would disagree, but that's how it looks - then, if you don't win that game, you come in for a great deal of criticism and that's what's been happening at Villa." Discussing the atmosphere at the club, he added: "It's created a very downtrodden air when you go to Villa. "It's quiet at the moment in a situation where people are worried, they're not happy, they're gloomy and that doesn't help trying to get results on the pitch."

You can almost tell when he realised there was no defending him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
