Something is seriously wrong off the field at the Villa...
Every time there is a story of this kind we have everybody dissmissing it as "bollocks", where in reality there tends to be an element of truth, albeit given huge spin by the paper in question.We saw it with the (first) row involving Dunne. "It's bollocks" was the cry until the club admitted there had been an "exchange of views".Something is seriously wrong off the field at the Villa and most of the media will be falling over each other the find out exactly what it is.I'd like to know as well.

There will always be differences of opinion within any group of people but the media are experts at highlighting it and making it 10 times more than it is, that's how they sell newspapers. At the same time, I'm sure there are many positives floating around the dressing room but this isn't news worthy so it goes unnoticed. We are not the only club having a bad season but we are the biggest club in danger and so we have to expect this sensationalist tripe. Take it as a compliment that we are being scrutinised this way, if we were not a huge club then we wouldn't be. Don't buy into the bollocks you read in the press, get behind the boys, as I'm sure you will.

Don't buy into the bollocks you read in the press, get behind the boys, as I'm sure you will.It's true that the press are licking their lips at the prospect of our demise and it's just this sort of thing that should galvanise the players and management into a siege mentality, a one for all and fuck the rest attitude that will produce positive results.It should have happened against Wolves but fell flat. I hope we get the performance indicated by the management this week during various interviews, at Goodison Park but forgive me if I have my doubts.Of course if I were at the match (or even watching in the pub) I would shout myself stupid in support of the team, as I sure everyone who is spending money to watch will. It's those being paid to take part who need to show some positivity on the pitch.

He probably does, but I tend to base my conclusions on what I see and reliable sources such as the club itself.
On a positive note.
