A song from McLeish

[Rip Van We Go Again]

With apologies to Squeeze

I never thought it could happen
With me and the club from Aston
But the mess that I’ve got them
Will never be forgotten
I dealt out meagre rations
A team without passions
They said you are lazy
Perhaps I said I may be

I got the job from Randy
He said I'd come in handy
He started me on Sunday
The demos began on Monday
I worked with Peter Grant
Even though his record’s scant
He said he'd been a top star
But that didn’t really get us far

I moved them to basement
With thoughts of relegation
I stayed by the dugout
As many poor games were slug out
I spent my time just pissin'
The good results were missin'
But I had got us fucked up
And all our time it took up

Nothing worked through the winter
The results poor and bitter
I put away a tenner
Each week to make Rangers better
And when the time was ready
We had to sell our Ashley
And make do with the loanee
And little use he turned out to be

Saturday at 4:50
I legged it rather nifty
Down the tunnel lookin’ paler
And thirty minutes later
I gave birth to more excuses
I blamed the supporters’ abuses
I looked a proper ‘nana
As if they needed another

I should’ve been much bolder
I felt the players’ cold shoulder
They left me when my training
Became proper draining
And failure may well take me
From Villa Park to Carey Street
No more nights by the dugout
Being told to get the fuck out

After hearing the fans’ bitching
I feel there's something missing
I'd beg for some forgiveness
Maybe football's not my business
But I won't write the letter
Resignation wouldn’t be better
And so it's my assumption
Villa are really up the junction

Yawn  !......I,m putting ALL my concentration on the positives  ( of which , believe me . there are quite a few ) and Villa winning tomorrow but then ....... maybe its because I,ve grown up ........................UTV !.............Godzvilla!

Whatever you do for a day job - you are wasted

There isn't an 'AM fan club', just a 'WarleyWonder is an idiot fan club'. 

[Clampy]

Warley Wonder, are you really from Warley?

[joe_c]

After the 5-1 win over Small Heath a few years ago I penned the following

There's a Scotsman working at The Sty
He'd like to come and beat us
But I think his team's too shite

It was funny at the time, I thought.

[WarleyWonder]

Brilliant !!

Changed your tune have we ??

[VillaAlways]

Brilliant !!

Changed your tune have we ??

From what?

[VillaAlways]

Warley Wonder, are you really from Warley?

He seems to manage to break into the IT classroom about the same time every day

[not3bad]

Brilliant !!

Changed your tune have we ??

This is the "fellow" villa fan who never says I told you so.

He's giving us individual "I told you so" service now.

Warley Wonder, are you really from Warley?

       

 It's probably because of my locality (e.g. nowhere near the midlands), but whenever I read WW's name and comments on whichever thread, I inevitably think of him tapping away somewhere in the bowels of this 'Warley' a few miles away -
