Current media comments towards us
« on: September 16, 2010, 10:09:19 AM »
Whilst i appreciate we have had a difficult time since MON left us in the shit i find it amazing how the media have really started to talk about us like we are a pub team.

Terms like, chaos, disgrace, shambles, dont know what they are doing

FFS we are 5th in the league losing 2 out of 5 games

we are above manshitty / Spurs yet the slag us off when we dont even have a manager in place yet

Really fucks me off - maybe if they rely on their info from message boards then maybe i should not be suprised as they can get all the nbegative vibes they want from off here for a start

Maybe its time we all stuck together and stood by the management / board and players and see them through this shit time

I bet MON is laughing his cock off as mission accomplished as far as he must be concnered

The club have given them the amunition to shoot us with, but no doubt the owner/management will lean from it.

I love it

haven't read many tabloids lately but have any of them been doing that thing where they show the Villa badge ripped in half with the headline across the top of the page "Villa in crisis...Villa in crisis...Villa in crisis...."

The two games we've lost could have been so different too. Carew scores his penalty v Newcastle...different story. Young scores header at Stoke...different story.


If this is a crisis, I'd like to see a success.

A lot of people in the media saw MON as the golden child, now he's gone they'll use it as a stick to beat us with!

The way to shut them up is for everyone to knuckle down and show the business on the pitch!

The media are saying exactly the sort of thing that has been on here. We're rudderless, kitless, hopeless, crap against poor teams.....

It's different when it's outsiders criticising us isn't it?!

Can't say I'm too fussed about the media. It's their job to make shit up, let them get on with it.

For a club of our standing, we're only newsworthy if we're defying expectations or in turmoil.

True about being crap against the more physical teams.  We've been nuked by Newcastle, surrendered to Stoke and will probably be battered by Bolton, buggered by Blackburn and probably walloped by Wolves, all really Championship sides used to battling.  When do we play a footballing side again?  The Premier League seems to be getting bigger every season in terms of size of player and referees seem to turn more and more blind eyes to 'bullying'. They are more likely to show cards for dissent or shirt pulls than pushing or elbowing and players like Ashley Young are more likely to get booked for complaining than an opponent for chopping them down..  We are just not big enough or tough enough to face teams like this.
