No one really dislikes him they just don't understand what the fuck he's going on about and think he and GMac are completely bonkers, lots of head scratching going on in the Villa dressing room

That's a bit harsh dragging him into it

On Sunday some of you were using the idea that none of the players had spoken out backing the manager as proof that he had lost the changing room. Now that one of them does they won't accept it.
And if you believe that a footballer rent a quote means that we haven't got a divided dressing room then you really have lost the plot.

I don't claim to know what goes on in the dressing room, I don't claim to be an expert in body language and I don't claim to be able to tell when a player is being genuine or is lying through his teeth from a 2 line quote on the Internet.
 
It appears that in those respects I am in a minority on this site lately.

Well if it's true they will have to prove it at Everton and after that again and again. I hope it is true.
We just got to stay up and Randy has seriously got to look at what is going on in May. From the fans point of view even Houllier must admit that it does not look rosey.

If I were Randy Lerner I wouldn't sell any players if we go down and make them work for promotion for punishment. So if they lose their place in national team so be it.

I would quite like it if not one single Villa player spoke to a media outlet between now and taking the field against Everton, at which point they'll show us all their undying love for the boss/the club/the shirt/the fans by giving Everton the mother of all thrashings.

In the real world, we'll get all the usual platitudes and a 2-0 defeat.

Sorry Chris, I'm sure that sort of thing for a down well at St Gullibles, but the blind faith defence doesn't wash with me.

Never mind playing for the manager etc,..

How about the people who pay to watch a performance like last Saturday.......

Pride in your own performance maybe ?

Would be heartening to know that we had players who were fully committed
to the club, but those days are long gone and almost forgotten

Just have a half decent mini season of 8 matches with 3 wins and a draw, is
that too much to ask (for some of our players I fear it might be)

Morrissey, you should stick to posting about shit because you're making little sense here.

I don't have much faith in the way things are going, blind or otherwise. But I'm not going to just fall in behind claims based on feelings and supposition.

.
Now, now calm down.
All of this is about feelings and supposition. It's a forum to discuss shit, if you like. happening at our club. When a team is going down rhe pan, a player is always trotted out to show his support. It's tedious and tiresome and i dont believe it.

Bent stick to doing what you do best

Exactly

I'm sick of hearing player quotes about being behind, the manager, all the team is united blah blah blah

Just play football like you look remotely interested is all they need to do


To be fair , If someone asks him the question , hes only answering  it ...       If he said fook off , we would be calling him a c**t   ;-)

I'll tell you who pisses me off: fucking Cher.

Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't thinl you're strong enough
Which is fair enough I suppose and she is entitled to her belief.

But why is she smirking when she sings it?

And what is the something inside her?

It's fucked up.
