The crowd. Decent attendances and not getting on the players backs, moreover they sound like they are sticking with the lads.
I can think of many other teams we're they'd be dogs abuse for what's been going on over the last few weeks (probably years). Despite the media drivel i think the VP crowd rarely turns on it's own, maybe only until it's way too late (see TSM BOLTON April 24th 2012).
Of the signings the stand out is Benteke, he looks like a great prospect but still raw.
Sorry silly me, I meant he's a saleable asset (Randyspeak).
Something can still be done.
Decent crowd yesterday but who would have thought Southampton would bring so many?

They brought more yesterday than they had brought in the previous 20 years combined.
Part time wankers.

There are still 18 days left to buy a few experienced, half-decent players to bolster our squad and provide some leadership on the pitch.

When they built that new crap stadium they seemed to gain another 15,000 fans, they must have dug them up with the foundations or something.
Saving loads of time by not watching Match of the Day
I still haven't watched anything from the Bradford game.Saving loads of time by not watching Match of the Day
This.
I reckon I've watched it about a dozen times in the last three years.
I also hardly ever bother reading the sports sections of newspapers any more, too, and spend more time on the culture and, err, actual news sections.
Are there any positives at the moment?
There are 16 games still to play. What an opportunity to get some points and climb up the table.
None whatsoever. We have just lost two home league games to near rivals without scoring, suffered a record defeat and conceded three goals from corners to a FOURTH DIVISION team. The only positive thing to say is that there are only 16 more league games and two cup matches to endure before this car-crash , miserable wreck of a season finishes.
1) We are starting to get experienced defenders back which will steady the back line and if we keep creating chances as we did on Saturday the goals, and points, will come.Experienced defenders... Vlaar, not bad. Dunne? Shower of shite last season, why are we expecting him to suddenly be a rock this season?
2) We still have enough time and opportunity to climb out of trouble in the League and we're still in both cup competitions.
3) Despite all the knocks and body blows we've suffered this season there's still a chance to have a successful season.
4) However bad things get, however badly we play, we're still the one and only Aston Villa and the rest can F'off.
Dunne is an unprofessional little shit,who couldn't give a damn about us.Just look at the difference in effort,when he plays for us as opposed to his country.I think people are forgetting how many points he has cost us over the seasonsYou forgot to mention he is also fat and overpaid.

It is a positive, but Dunne hasn't shown me much in the last 18 months he can offer us something more productive than what we have already got on the pitch. Vlaar can be part of what we need.1) We are starting to get experienced defenders back which will steady the back line and if we keep creating chances as we did on Saturday the goals, and points, will come.Experienced defenders...

Most of the players were shite last season and he is capable of playing well.
Anyway I said "Experienced", which is what we need. The young players have ability but they need experienced players to make sure they don't get pulled out of position, to keep them organised.
If you want to view a international defender coming back into an inexperienced defence as a negative thats up to you. I see it as a positive.
have we been relegated overnight, the same people spouting the same negative crap that they have for the last 3 seasons. we are the villa, we will fight to the very end!There are 16 games still to play. What an opportunity to get some points and climb up the table.
It's always nice when the drugs really start to kick in. If only we could control what we say.

A free flag,we can't afford any players but can afford flags.I know where I want to put my flag.

We're in the semi final of a cup and still in with a chance of turning it round as long as Bradford don't get a corner. Hmm, that's it for now.
Seriously Risso, did you need to post in here?
I fully support the making of a thread that isn't full of people slagging the club and you gave it 5 minutes before rubbishing an article saying money is available.
Positives for me are:
-we're making chances, we've had a lot in the last 3 games.
-Delph is looking more like the player we hoped he'd become.
-We're getting close to a clean bill of health for the squad.
-We can still win silverware this year.
-We had the worst calendar year in our history and we're only in the bottom 3 on goal difference, getting out of it isn't the huge task it could've been after what we've been through. (that's slightly negative but with a positive twist).
I'm not ignoring the bad things, they just don't belong in here.

Yes i cant see the twat splashing the cash, Prove me wrong then i'll be positive
Sorry to be defeatist and all that a mere one post in, but that article just seems to be taking Lambert's post-match comments and imagining what Lerner might be thinking on the back of it. Anything with "it is understood" in basically means totally made up, there's no substance to the piece at all. Lambert reiterates that they'll try to get "one or two" in, which is what he's been saying since Christmas.

I don't need your permission to post, thanks, but on the understanding that you post in here and nowhere else from now on, I'll happily stay out of it in future.
Nobody wants to kick the club or to be negative. We all want to cheer the team on and help them through the battle in the hope that one day we can add to our illustrious history a few more bright chapters.
Some of us are just deeply concerned that there's no leadership, scant signs of fight and that we are conceding a phenomenal amount of goals and registering very few in response. It's a two way street. We are supporters of the club in thick and thin, it's life-blood. We have given them a lot of support so we are obviously going to be down when things are going as badly as they have been and the clock is ticking in terms of time to pick up the necessary points/bring in the necessary new players.
Club has to give us something to cling to if our spirits are to be raised again. Showing more fight on the pitch and spending some cash to fill the holes in our squad/midfield/defence would help allay the fears and fire us with som optimism.
I think Weimann is potentially the best young player we've had in years. There.
One thing that made me smile no chuckle this weekend was hearing about the head steward in Lower Holte waiting to pounce on the 19th minute on the "ONE STAN PETROV" banner the banner didnt appear and he wore a smug look on his face until the banner showed up on the big screen, lets just say he no longer looked smug! Apparently the banners foster parents said the stewards didn't bother with the banner until the got the screaming through the radio "IT'S BANNED! IT'S BANNED! IT'S BANNED!" ;D

Rissbert is still Rissbert rather than Risstteoor even Rissurbishley
I think we just need a good performance to kick start our season. A performance where everybody does there jobs properly, for example defending corners like you are supposed to,keeping a defensive shape, and taking our chances. When better, than do it on saturday against Smethwick. If we can do that in a local derby and get a win, it could just spur us on for the rest of the season.
We couldn't possibly be playing them at a better time.3straight defeats,having lost a 2 goal lead in 10 mins last time out and they've got an FA Cup replay midweek so we will be fresher hopefullyI think we just need a good performance to kick start our season.

Absolutely! There's nothing like winning a local derby to raise the spirits and coupled with a convincing win against Bradford will make these last few weeks of pain worth the price. The confidence it would bring the team would be amazing.
We all knew this season would see a lot of ups and downs. We're long overdue a big 'up' and what better place to start the away at the Baggies. Bring it on!

Dont really remember a 'good' patch
We had a ok ish patch but thats about it
