Just two of the many.

Thanks for the memories, and a great big fuck you for screwing us over in the end.

If that's what he has done (and I have reason to doubt it).  Doesn't mean we erase the memories.  He made us feel proud of our
club again.

You have reason to doubt he walked out five days before the start of the season? And I never stopped feeling proud of my club.

Thanks for delivering parity with the JG years.

Those halcyon days.

And for only £120 million spent?

What a legend.

I would like to thank Martin for awaking certain memories.....

....he has left us in the shit. David o'leary took out Doug Ellis!!

Agreed. My pride in Aston Villa had nothing to do with Martin O'Neill.

For the record I'll remember some great games under O'Neill, and of course 4 derby victories over Small Heath. But I'll never forget how he fucked us over and walked out 5 days before the start of the season, which is possibly the most disgusting thing any Villa employee has ever done to our great club.

Aye. And not even a better finish than DOL

Sorry, but after reading that from someone with your name I have to smile.

[Toronto Villa]

Fuck me we can be bitter. I can accept that what he did by quitting wasn't good. But don't write off the fact that we are better today than when he arrived. That all of a sudden we did nothing under him. I'll never deny that I was one of his supporters, but it is possible to look at his time at the club objectively and with some balance. That he certainly didn't get everything right, but he did get a lot right in that time.

100% v The Shit

[KevinGage]

I don't think anyone is suggesting he did nothing.

But he certainly doesn't deserve to be revered either, even before the events of last Monday.

Well I forgive the great man because unlike O'Neill he won us a trophy or two!

the air is so thick with irony you could cut it with a knife

[Trinitymiddle]

I think peoples views of MON are certainly tainted for a while as the shock turns to anger.

It will take a while to be able to realistically assess his reign.

Bittersweet memories for me at the moment after Monday.
