Sense of humour failure I think..we get what we deserve then and make it a crime to want more.
Stalin was famous for his wicked smile.
I want More than I seem to getting; a lot more

We have to make do with what we are handed out then...Long live the King of franchised diluted shinola.
A seachange has taken place here.. We are a different entity now.
Villa the new home of neo-revivalist protestant asperationism..
the New Church of the second awakening of elvis the unconverted.

Hallelujah Lord..Hallelujah!..I's bin saved Lord.. I see it all clearly now like the blighted Damascene..take me to the river Lord; wash a me down!!


Up the Villa. 



John?........(Mooney)

I thought it was gregnash talking about somebody who thinks O'Neill's a good manager.

Until I read 'Up The Villa', obviously.

What a great opportunity for me to waffle about my forum name, when (apparently) at the end of the match Villa 0 Ipswich 2 (Champions season) and Eric Gates scored both goals. Eric was laughing when he walked off.
Ron: I hope your laughing at the end of the season Eric cos its coming here!
I was there that night and had to go back and work nights pondering how we had probably lost the league. How wrong eh.

There is some psychological game going on here..Ron back soliloquising on the lost years and McL becomes the realisation of his potential when lost in the wilderness.
Desperately trying to patch over the abyss that separates the two clubs and the wounded fans disappointment.
It will all go well if we just sit back and imagine the last 30 years never happened.
It is just a hearts and minds game now on Randy's part and the yanks are great at that..Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan..the Alamo.

Brian, I dont doubt your love for AVFC and I'm sure you're a decent human being and that your friends and family love you but whenever I read your posts I get the urge to open my veins in a warm bath. Lighten up mate, it's a game

I have never said a detrimental word against Ron Saunders. He was always the one who got the bad deal that is all.
Football is not about being nice other than when you win a lot of games.

We have just undergone an enforced conversion where our noses have been rubbed in it and now we are expected to say all is lovely in the garden and everything smells of roses.

I know what it smells like to me but then I hope it helps the roses grow.
We are due a radical shift of attitude and outlook. I want it to be good but they are looking at it in a new way.
Maybe it is Randy teaching all those anti-houllier miseries a lesson?
It feels life a more fundamental shift myself.
They made the decision and will live by it.
They had better be right or there will be fireworks.
I ain't been burned as heretic here.

The board didn't ask him who he wanted as manager. Therefore everything the club ever does from now on will be shit. Villa's present is terrible, the future is doomed and if we mention the past it is all an elaborate ploy to smuggle nuclear arms/animal organs/illegal immigrants into Bodymoor Heath while we are all distracted by the Regime Puppet Ron Saunders.

If you can't see it, you're part of the problem.

Hysterical..Great stuff..couldn't have put it better myself cd..
Why should any fan have a say in running the club. It ain't ours we only pay for it.
We have what we deserve in the new regime.
We will see major changes as a consequence of the installing of McLeish.
It is a minor thing transhipping from the other lot on other side of town.
I do not like the vision I see for my beloved Villa..
Average mediocrity will be maintained with the odd highlight to please the deluded multitude.
The fans have a right to criticise as they see fit and I see that criticism increasing again..not that the management will give a monkey's about that unless the revenue slips a bit.
European Cup's I am glad I was around once before when we did it.
I'll be the first to applaud if we get anywhere near it again.

Now for the clearout and the risorgimento.

Lots of fans have had a say in running the club. More than at any other club in the country.

Explain why you think Villa should be the only club in the World (other than Ebbsfleet) where the fans pick the manager?

Realistically the fans will never pick a manager. They can only make their feelings known. Villa is a business and we are the one's that buy into it.

We chose/have been allotted the one who rose to the challenge set by management and their terms and conditions bounded by the financial state of the club funds.

I see a very frosty and cold attitude coming from on high.
I can't do anything bar use my voice to express my concerns.
Keep quiet and they will continue to abuse our undoubted loyalties.
I aam a nobody and have been so for years..other than being a Villa fan and in terms I of that I am a nobody again bar being able to express an opinion.
I don't like what they have put in front of us.
The way things are in football he could get the sack before the season satsrts but in reality he won't and could be around for years playing a sort of football that suffices without excelling and allows us to see the sort of player from other teams we can only dream of having on our side.
Build 'em up from the youth team and sell them on.
I rememeber the arguent last year that we were never a selling club and never will be.  Roll on next tirade.

Explain "how they abused our undoubted loyalties"? Ticket prices generally better than elsewhere in the league, loads of money spent on players despite declining attendances... including smashing the transfer record as recently as January, rebuilding the Holte Pub, delivering some of the best training facilities in Europe, welcoming our greatest ever manager Ron Saunders back into the fold, overseeing the development of one of the best youth sides in the country, and so on.

Did they "abuse our undoubted loyalties" by err... not consulting you on who the manager should be? You seem incapable of listing any other faults they've got.

I do not doubt they have injected money into the club and general facilities. It makes it a better place to go to. Youth team has always produced the goods from way back before Randy's arrival.
We are looking at a few years of dearth in the wilderness while he gets that investment back.
Ashley Young is only the beginning of the exodus.
I will deliberate when I see who we replace him and others who will undoubtedly go, with.
Randy runs the whole kit and caboodle and we pay him for doing so. He better have some success or the Holte pub will be as forlorn a place when saturday comes round as it is on any given weekday evening.
Randy is of the Puritan ethic and the Villa were always dashing Caviliers...
I'm not sure what sort of plough he'll have us pulling next...but I can see the shires being groomed right now.

I have literally no idea what you are on about. Randy is some sort of farmer now?

Have you considered Prozac?
