VillaAlex Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Fair play to Wigan, delighted for them. They deserve to stay up, Martinez has worked wonders with the players at his disposal. Half of them are Championship class at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacbuddies Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Are you watching Wigan Mr McLeish? Even if they don't end up winning they are giving it a go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HackneyVillain Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Full credit to Wigan - their last three games have been Chelsea away, Man U at home and now Arsenal away. To get points and pull themselves out of the bottom 3 with that run-in takes more than McLeish could muster thats for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Amazing that, A team that plays football no matter what are starting to win games when it matters. Take note McCleish you **** negative prick, you have never been good at playing defensive football or attacking football so what exactly is it you are playing!

AshVilla Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Wigan... How refreshing to see a side showing that they deserve to be in the division by taking the game to teams such as Manchester United and Arsenal If only we had a manager who had balls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaForever1970 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Villa might benefit from a spell out of the Premier League Aston Villa are a sad sight these days – tired, directionless, timid, miserably shambling through another season of nothingness. What enjoyment is to be had on the Villa Park terraces these days? They are a club that seem overworked, huffing and puffing just to tread water in the Premier League, running to stand still. They need to recharge their batteries, to find some momentum, to stop constantly fire-fighting and find a way to move forward as a club. What better way to do that than with a year or two (or more) in the Championship? Plenty of clubs have found relegation to have a restorative effect. Norwich are probably the best example. Between 2005 and 2009 the Canaries were going nowhere fast, scratching around in the bottom half of the Championship, good enough to stay up but only just. It took relegation to League One in 2009 and the appointment of Paul Lambert after a disastrous start to that season in the third tier to turn the club around. Instead of grubbing around for points – the club won only 56 league games in four seasons from 2004-05 – they were able to strip things down, start again and build momentum, momentum that stays with them today. If the Canaries had somehow cobbled together enough points to stay up over the final few weeks of the 2008-09 season they would not be in the position they are today. Newcastle are another who have bounced back from the drop in style. Alex McLeish – who would almost certainly be replaced in the event of relegation, another bonus for Villa fans – has a very young squad at his disposal, a talented one that is not yet in full maturity. Ciaran Clark, Nathan Baker, Chris Herd, Gary Gardner, Samir Carruthers and even Andreas Weimann, Barry Bannan and Marc Albrighton could benefit from finding their feet in the professional game at the lower level, rather than learning the hard way in the top flight. Indeed the suspicion is that the only reason several of those players are not on loan outside the Premier League is the paucity of McLeish's squad. One step back to take two steps forward? It can be painful but it might just be fun. And Villa fans have not had much of that this season.
