-
Christ almighty that's a squad. Oh well come on Villa do it for Remi.
-
Are Gestede and Kozak both injured?
-
Yes. Me too. So excited.
About the only team he could pick
I think I would have had Bacuna in at right back and Lyden starting. Like to see more of Mason too, good pedigree.
-
Is that Victor Moses on their bench??
-
Is that Victor Moses on their bench??
Yes
-
we need moses and Mcgrath
-
How many touches for Gabby? Above or below 10?
-
Surely surely we have 11 youth players who would do better than this tired shower of shite!! Depressed already. I need alcohol now!!
-
Are Gestede and Kozak both injured?
Yup - Gestede's got hamstring twang and Kozak ankle knack
-
Is Mason a midfielder? (sorry, should know)
-

Ive already started from 4 ;)
-
How many touches for Gabby? Above or below 10?
1st, 2nd or both?
-
Are Gestede and Kozak both injured?
Yup - Gestede's got hamstring twang and Kozak ankle knack
13 million well spent
-
Probably the best side he could pick. Oh well
-
Is Mason a midfielder? (sorry, should know)
18 year old defender apparently - had to look it up on Pravda to find out!
-
I'm putting Gabby down for 3.
Pies at half time.
-
Quality
-
James Collins you owe us a few OGs.
-
Payet will rip the piss against that lot tonight.
-
How many touches for Gabby? Above or below 10?
I guess that depends on how often we kick-off. He could get quite a few touches tonight!!
-
Mason can play in midfield too I thought?
http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/aston-villa-portugal-lowdown-18-year-old-9636558
-
11 v 10 with Bacuna in the side I'd rather Lyden given a chance, our midfield's gonna be torn a new one tonight!!
-

http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/aston-villa-portugal-lowdown-18-year-old-9636558
I'll bow to your superior knowledge! Have to admit I'd never heard of him until tonight and had to look him up on the official site to find anything about him
-
Is Hepburn-Murphy not around? Thought he'd be an option from the bench.
-
Its either two episodes of The Bridge of which this shite, cant decide which
-
Are Gestede and Kozak both injured?
Injured and rubbish.
-
I'm gonna suffer the first half then switch to BBC and Silent Witness. More action in the corpses in this program than the fucktards in the Villa boardroom!
-
Nice, reasoned interview with Garde at the moment.
-
I'm gonna start the post match thread now. Wankers!
-
Nice, reasoned interview with Garde at the moment.
What channel ?
-
BT Sport.
-
11 v 10 with Bacuna in the side I'd rather Lyden given a chance, our midfield's gonna be torn a new one tonight!!
Could be worse, at least he's not playing at full back.
-
Is Hepburn-Murphy not around? Thought he'd be an option from the bench.
I have noticed that he hasn't played the last 4-5 U21s games and presumed he was injured.
-
How many touches for Gabby? Above or below 10?
I guess that depends on how often we kick-off. He could get quite a few touches tonight!!
Lol
I like that; )
Poor Remi. I don't think he had any intention of ever playing Flabby. Stuck with him due to the incompetence from AVFC hierarchy on an industrial scale. If Remi is still here at the start of next season he will deserve a medal for perseverance in the face of adversity.
-
How terrible to be dreading the match, please make us happy and win against the odds, god I feel miserable.
-
Nice, reasoned interview with Garde at the moment.
Any chance of a synopsis? Just switched it on.
-
Fight like kittens.
-

I'll see if I can find a link.

The bravest of faces.
-
Fight like kittens.
Spot on. Sadly.
-
The predictable thing about the villa has always been how unpredictable we are....ok so I'm clutching at straws but it seems healthier than clutching at a couple of bottles of rioja right now..
-
Fight like kittens.
More like fat flabby pussies.
-
Fight like lions/cubs.

-
Yet another team flying in the top half that we should have beaten earlier in the season. But for the lack of a competent striker we would have.
Fuck off Hollis and Fox. And fuck Rio the Rodent.
1-0 win. Clearance ricochets in off Gabby's ample derriere.
-
... and to top off the misery, Robbie Savage is co-commentating.
-
Brilliant... Savage co-commentating. FFS!
-
Haven't won there for 5 years and they haven't lost at home since August. Nailed on away win then.... ha ha
-
Chance for West Ham there, 1 minute in.
-
Richards starts well...
-
Jesus.
-
Brilliant... Savage co-commentating. FFS!
David Pleat on my stream
-
Actually, was good play.
-
Brilliant... Savage co-commentating. FFS!
David Pleat on my stream
Which may be worse. Can't stand the bloke
-
Corner for Villa.
The amount of times we have someone cross the ball in and no fucker is in the box ffs!
Get in the box.
-
Brilliant... Savage co-commentating. FFS!
Won't see much of him with Championship games fortunately.
-
No commentary in the pub.
Vintage TV sound on.
Barry Manilow - Mandy
-
Lets see how much fight they show tonight then.
-
Bacuna, showing already how shit he is.
-
It feels like he is doing this on purpose
-
Decent enough effort from Gil.
-
Brilliant... Savage co-commentating. FFS!
Indeed. Though we don't seem totally awful yet.
-
How many times do the commentators have to remind us we're shit?
-
No commentary in the pub.
Vintage TV sound on.
Barry Manilow - Mandy
Oh Randy!
-
Another stone wall penalty.
-
Nobody attacking the ball again for an easy tap in.
Not a pen for me either.
-
That's a pen.
-
Blatant handball - these fuckwits
-
Everyone just stood appealing for handball and the ball trickles across the goal line. Play to the whistle.
Apart from that, we look way better than them so far.
-
Nice to see we're wearing the retro strip synonymous with the golden era of DOL.
-
Another chance for a penalty not given.
-
This is typical us this season, playing quite well, passing it around nicely, not looking like a bottom of the league side.
Within ten minutes we'll practically ejaculate one straight into our own net for them and that will be that.
-
That's a penalty against us.
-
Nobody attacking the ball again for an easy tap in.
Not a pen for me either.
Definite pen, there's absolutely no reason for his arm to be out, shocker of a decision.
-
It would be given against us that's for sure.
-
ANOTHER clear pen not given
-
Blatant handball - these fuckwits
It would have been harsh - but i've seen them given - particularly against us
-
Penalty not given.
-
Nobody attacking the ball again for an easy tap in.
Not a pen for me either.
Definite pen, there's absolutely no reason for his arm to be out, shocker of a decision.
I must be the only one who thinks that'd be a bit harsh then. More ball to hand imo.
-

throw in a solid penalty shout that gets denied and that's been our season. I fully expect them to get a penalty and be allowed to bring on a twelfth man. Probably a goalkeeper.
-
Que WH getting a cheap pen
-
If that was a pen that Leicester were given against us, then that one just was nailed on.
-
cf Cissokho ?
-
Nailed on pen, so 4 nil Hammers.
-
ANOTHER fucking penalty not given. Yes, we're shit, these decisions aren't doing us any favours though.
-
Blatant handball - these fuckwits
It would have been harsh - but i've seen them given - particularly against us
Absolute joke decisions like Cissokho's are given against us and we get stonewallers like away at West Brom turned down.
Shit refereeing all year.
-
You can guarantee if it was the other end it would have been given
-
Def penalty in my eyes.
-

Agreed. If some of the decisions we should have had were given then maybe, with the increased confidence results can bring, we wouldn't be so far adrift.
-
I can see why he didn't give it, as clearly the refs have been threatened with waterboarding should they award us one.
-
Another Villa corner nick a goal lads.
-
'Bacuna to curl one in.'
More like curl one out!
-
Have a feeling we won't get anything from the ref tonight.
-
Don't expect anything from this ref tonight folks.
WTF Ayew
-
Heavens - Gabby is getting involved
-
Ayew you stupid fuck.
-
Fucking hell Ayew you massive twat.
-
Well what the fuck just happened.
-
Ayew you fucking wanker.
-
Perfect, for fuck sake.
-
Jesus fucking christ Ayew
-
What a fucking idiot.
-
Oh ffs
-
Fucking hell, you absolute fucking moron.
-
Fuck this.
-
Oh well done Ayew. Straight red. Twat
-
Ayew, you stupid, moronic fucking prick.
Decent start, ruined. Wanker.
-
Seriously WTF. I'd just looked at the table and seen that a win could take us within 6 points of safety and then he fucking does that.
-
Ayew straight red as well now brilliant. That was so stupid.
-
fucking idiot
-
Jesus Christ, words fail me, what the fuck is he doing?
-
Fucking hell. We were playing too well for something not to go wrong. Fucking idiotic.
-
Idiot Ayew. Good start we'd made as well
-
This ref is appalling, clear pen and an obvious 2 handed push in the back not given.
Oh for fuck sake Ayew, don't give the ref the opportunity to give things against us.
-
Fantastic. 3 game ban too. Fucking idiot.
-
Unbelievable, self destruct button pushed yet again.
-
Honestly, talk about shoot yourselves in the foot.
-
What an absolute twat.
-
Silent Witness it is. Ayew, you fucking clown!
-
wonderful from Ayew, absolute clown
-
Are the players on a bonus to get us down? Playing well - unprovoked
-
Possibly the most moronic moment of the season so far. Fucking idiot, I hate these players.
-
Fantastic. 3 game ban too. Fucking idiot.
Yep, just realised this. Furious.
-
He can fuck off in the summer now for all Im concerned.
-
Can't believe Ayew.
Is anything going to go right for us this season?
-
I hate every fucking member of this "team".
All of them can fuck off.
-
you couldn't make it up could you? What an absolute idiot, 3 match ban. We've gone from dominating the game to guaranteed to lose it.
-
Fine him his entire fucking salary for the rest of his contract.
Little prick.
-
Well, there's tonight's gift!
-
Unbelievable.
No. Strike that. This is Villa so anything is possible.
-
I just despair
-
Well that's this game gone. First the ref fucks us over and then out own stupid player.
-
If I were Garde, I'd be tempted to go into the dressing room and smack him in the face.
-
The game has flipped already. We are now already on the back foot.
-
Different game now.
-
Brainless moron
-
what a fucking shambles of a season.
-
I'm getting my red pen out for Ayew ;)
-
And a fucking three game ban, too.
-
Garde must know how Blackadder felt in the trenches now...surrounded by fuckin idiots.
-
Fuck him off at the end of the season , disgraceful
-
Don't think Ayew fancied it for tonight.
How else to you explain a daft decision like that.
-
Bacunas having a good game so far.
-
In all fairness, Bacuna Matata is getting stuck in for once
-
Turned the match off.We were on top and then he did that the stupid prat.
Last thing I saw was Garde grimacing and shaking his head
-
Oh just fuck off Ayew. Wasn't he watching the game? The ref clearly don't intend to give us anything and he does that?? Clueless fuckin idiot.
-
I've turned it off, too, I've had enough of this fucking idiocy.
-
This season cannot end soon enough.
-
Bacunas having a good game so far.
Bacuna and good in the same sentence. Oxymoron
-
He got himself out of the game.
The cowardly little prick.
-
I doubt we'll have sight of their goal again tonight.
-
Don't think Ayew fancied it for tonight.
How else to you explain a decision like that.
Frustrastion, a couple of piss poor ref decisions and a bit of "here we go again" and he lost his head. I'm not condoning it but you only do something like that if you're playing angry.
-
I reckon Ayew has had enough of Villa and this is his way of showing it to the club
-
John Moss is always biased against us but Ayew is a moron.
the pen decision though, yet again, is a decision that changes the game
-
There is zero chance Ayew will play for us next season.
-
I've had enough of this shit. He can fuck off now too. Petulant twat
-
I can't watch this now, I feel sick. 'The Mighty Reds YNWA' v Leicester NBC.
I am not sure if I can imagine a more stupid thing to do than what Ayew just did.
Absoloutely complete Dickhead.
-
What a fuckin knob
-
I'll persevere watching for now, but if the game was next Tuesday, it'd take a flaming miracle for me not to turn over for Happy Valley at 9pm.
-
Don't think Ayew fancied it for tonight.
How else to you explain a daft decision like that.
Exactly. That was a deliberate way of showing he didn't want to play and a get out for the rest of the month.
He should pay the fans the transport and admission costs for that. Disgraceful!
-
He's supposed to be a fkin professional for gods sake earning fuck knows how much money and he does that..wanker
-
If I were Garde, I'd be tempted to go into the dressing room and smack him in the face.
I honestly couldn't blame him if he did.
-
What a fuckin knob
And he looked one of the best of our signings and our main goal threat - such as that is. Now missing for three games - twat
-
John Moss is always biased against us but Ayew is a moron.
the pen decision though, yet again, is a decision that changes the game
Exactly, whatever happens from here the ref has fucked us over, and that's a clear yellow for Noble that he's ignored as well. I hope Garde puts in a complaint, this is a truly pathetic showing form the ref, Hoddle and Savage have already both pointed it out so it's nothing to do with 'villa glasses'.
-
If I were Garde, I'd be tempted to go into the dressing room and smack him in the face.
I honestly couldn't blame him if he did.
I'd actually hold his coat while he did it
-
The defender wasn't even doing anything to him.
-
I wouldn't pick the ****** again
-
Sorry, the guy is a gutless c***.
Promote an U21 and never play him again. Shit head.
-
Ayew is a cock end of the highest order. Fucking twat. And that's 3 clear penalties we've been denied now, 3 games running.
-
Don't think Ayew fancied it for tonight.
How else to you explain a decision like that.
Frustrastion, a couple of piss poor ref decisions and a bit of "here we go again" and he lost his head. I'm not condoning it but you only do something like that if you're playing angry.
Yes, this for me. Wouldn't have happened if we hadn't been fucking robbed of another penalty.
-
Can someone please pinch me so I can wake up from this eternal nightmare?
-

Its not the first time he has acted like this, getting booked in injury time at Norwich so he could miss the next game springs to mind. We had actually started well and his actions were a fucking disgrace. Petulant fucker.
-
This is the most up for it some of our players have looked all season. And yes I know we're playing in yellow.
-
Fuck sake will some of you get a grip, wanting to drop our best player this season because he got a red card, yes it's stupid, he'll get his ban for it, but lets not throw him under a bus in a tantrum.
-
I expect he or his agent is already drafting his "I want to apologise to the fans" statement. Fucking idiot. What has Garde done to be stuck between an idiotic board and an idiotic team?
-
when's their first goal coming? I'll go for 42 minutes
-
We were on the front foot for once and then a couple of poor reffing decisions followed by a moment of stupidity completely screws us. West Ham were poor up til that point.
-
Probably an offer for him in January that was turned down - payback.
May he never play for us again
-
don't think it will change much up front mind
-
Bunn is shite
-
The only thing the red has got right so far is to send off Ayew!
-
We should have had three points tonight. Much the better team, now it's all in our half. Shocking thing to do from Ayew.
-
Do not trust Bunn at all, but in the kingdom of the blind the one eyed man is king.
-
Bunn is shite
Yup but we all know someone worse.
-
Fuck sake will some of you get a grip, wanting to drop our best player this season because he got a red card, yes it's stupid, he'll get his ban for it, but lets not throw him under a bus in a tantrum.
There's 3 and a half games now he won't be the fucking best fucking player, because the fucking idiot got himself sent off, the massive fucking idiot.
-
I know it was a deserved red and all that, and all the pundits will agree and say how stupid he was. And he was. But then I think of Huth doing it twice and not even getting a foul........aaaargh!
-
when's their first goal coming? I'll go for 42 minutes
46 minutes in true Villa fashion
-
TW*T! (http://www.flashscores.co.uk/match/K4mR7IQ3/#video)
-
when's their first goal coming? I'll go for 42 minutes
I'll be impressed if we last that long
-
Well the players are going to have to do what we all do...graft hard...I did it for 10 hours today so there's no excuse for them.
-
Just realised I accidentally uncaptained aguero tonight. Why is God such a c***?
-
Agbonlahor's f***ed already.
-
Chants of "Randy Lerner, what a wanker" coming from the away end.
-
Can someone please pinch me so I can wake up from this eternal nightmare?
I think you, me and everyone else will be waiting for a long time for that pinch to happen.
-
TW*T! (http://www.flashscores.co.uk/match/K4mR7IQ3/#video)
What's he shaking his head for the fucking prick? Shower of moronic c***s.
Sunderland and Norwich both losing as well. Fuck sake Villa.
-
Ayew joins the board and KMac in my list of non-people.
-
If you sat down at the start of this season and tried to write a film or a play about the worst possible season a football club could have, with eveything going wrong and eveything conspiring against them, and it turned out like our season is now, people wouldn't believe it, they'd say it was too far fetched.
-
We have literally no outlet and they want to take potshots from thirty yards.
-
Agbonlahor's f***ed already.
He was fucked in 2012
-
Greetings from up an Alp, should I head out and try to find the game or not bother?
-
No yellow for Noble? Again. Why not?
-
Refs useless again
-
In a season where we can't score goals at all, having our best forward get stupidly sent of is exactly what we should expect to have happen to us. The trap door cannot come soon enough. I'd like to be induced into a coma please and woken up with my new Under Armour Championship kit. Looking forward to that first home loss to Nottingham Forest.
-
No yellow for Noble? Again. Why not?
Should be off now
-
This ref can just fuck off, cheating bastard, Noble has stopped 2 breaks and got fuck all to show for it.
-
That not a booking ref?
-
What the fuck is going on with this ref. Why doesn't he just start tackling our players when we have the ball the cheating cock.
-
For some dadt reason I still think we are going to win. I am on my 4th beer mind
-
Another yellow not produced.
wasn't this ref the cup-final ref? He gave us f..k all then as well
-
Greetings from up an Alp, should I head out and try to find the game or not bother?
Stay up there, mate.
-
Greetings from up an Alp, should I head out and try to find the game or not bother?
I would head out and find a cliff.
-
I'm biased, obviously, and I admit the red was indeed a red, but the ref is a massive twat.
-
For some dadt reason I still think we are going to win. I am on my 4th beer mind
You crazy bastard.
-
Its like one thing after another and its like every event is destined to take the worst possible route as its unfold.
1) First that ref twat can award a penelty for the handball and ...he doesnt (making tempers flare).
2 )Then Bacuna could just take the throwin and the game would continue (and we started well)...but he decides to leave it for Richards.
3) Richards then can just throw it with the same effect ...but he delays...creating the static moment where Ayew has time to figure out just how he is going to screw Aston Villa for the reminder of the season.
Any of these 3 things go the other direction and fate takes a path for the better. But no....we must suffer!
-
The season will almost certainly get worse. There is only so much Remi Garde can be expected to endure.
-
He always screws us this guy. Mike Dean 4th official too. Could not make it up.
Noble should be off here
-
Ayew, yep right decision. Compare that to Huth the other week...
-
In all fairness, Bacuna Matata is getting stuck in for once
Seriously? He is not even a championship player. He's garbage and goes to show how far we have sunk if we have people who think he's anything else. He took a free kick and a corner and neither cleared the first man. Hoddle called it right. Unbelievable.
-
This has become Shakespearean in its absurdity now. Just can't decide if it's a comedy or a tragedy. About to start a night shift, too. Cheers, you twats.
-
He always screws us this guy. Mike Dean 4th official too. Could not make it up.
Noble should be off here
I imagine Mike Dean raised both arms in the air to celebrate the red card
-
Good play from Agbonlahor and Bacuna. We've played well considering.
-
Song should have a yellow as well - that's 3 or 4 times he's fouled to stop us in the middle when we could break forward. Not that we would of course
-
For God's sake, Collins had the beating of Benteke last season, why the hell would lumping it up to Gabby on his own be the answer tonight?
-
The right call happens on the penalty the sending of never happens. Ayew is a dick and should get a big fine but the ref is culpable
-
Fuck sake will some of you get a grip, wanting to drop our best player this season because he got a red card, yes it's stupid, he'll get his ban for it, but lets not throw him under a bus in a tantrum.
No. He's a millionaire ****** acting like a ******. It's not a mistake. He'll probably be banned for 5 games. Violent conduct.
-
Ayew, yep right decision. Compare that to Huth the other week...
yeh how about it. He does exactly the same to Kozak and we get nothing. Not excusing Ayew in any way off course. And as someone mentioned before the penalty not given is no different to the one given against Cissokho.
-
Watching villa is like watching a Final Destination movie.
-
Evening.
All going well then.
-
Kouyate just clipped Gabby when we could break and no yellow yet again, this really is pathetic.
-
Are all the teams down there with us losing at the moment?
-
Just got in and hear we've been denied a pen and just seen Ayew being a twat. Don't think i'll bother listening on the radio.
-
Bournemouth a goal down.
-
Add in Ayew not getting the pen against the Albion.
-
Somebody up there hates us.
-
Greetings from up an Alp, should I head out and try to find the game or not bother?
No, you'd be tempted to throw yourself off said alp.
-
This division is corrupt. I am sure of it.
-
Fuck sake will some of you get a grip, wanting to drop our best player this season because he got a red card, yes it's stupid, he'll get his ban for it, but lets not throw him under a bus in a tantrum.
No. He's a millionaire c*** acting like a c***. It's not a mistake. He'll probably be banned for 5 games. Violent conduct.
So having money means you're not allowed to do something stupid with a rush of blood?
-
Just got in and hear we've been denied a pen and just seen Ayew being a twat. Don't think i'll bother listening on the radio.
Good decision
-
Evening.
All going well then.
Also got in late, post Ayew meltdown.
-
Gabby gets an arm in the face.
-
Add in Ayew not getting the pen against the Albion.
fucking nailed on too. It really does add up doesn't it. Not saying we haven't been lucky at times ourselves, but I don't recall a lot of big decisions coming out in our favour.
-
Somebody up there hates us.
Yes, Randy Lerner does.
-
Somebody up there hates us.
Yes, Randy Lerner does.
shouldn't that have been your answer to someone down there hates us?
-
Gabby gets an arm in the face.
He ran into his arm really..........
-
Add in Ayew not getting the pen against the Albion.
fucking nailed on too. It really does add up doesn't it. Not saying we haven't been lucky at times ourselves, but I don't recall a lot of big decisions coming out in our favour.
The way we have stunk out the league the last 5 years you cant blame the powers that be that we should be finally relegated
-
Finished the half well there. Could escape this with a point
-
Bacuna's crossing is just abysmal.
-
I blamed Kouyate when it was Song but that arm across Gabby's face could easily have been a yellow as well.
-
The refs a wanker and he was a crap drummer.
-
Just got in and hear we've been denied a pen and just seen Ayew being a twat. Don't think i'll bother listening on the radio.
Heard we were playing ok, denied a pen (again), walked in to see Ayew sent off, TV off, wake me up in July....only so much Villa fans can take. FFS.
-
Good half....considering our position and 10 men
-
Garde must be thinking "What the hell have I done to deserve this"
-
Fair play to them they've shown a lot of fight. Shame Ayew and the diabolical ref have let us down.
-
Garde looks like he's enjoying his job at the moment.
-
Gabby gets an arm in the face.
He ran into his arm really..........
Yeah he did, I hadn't seen the replay when I posted.
All our remaining players on the pitch deserve a lot of credit for tonights performance. I think Gabby has given us a bit of belief going forward actually, not that he's seen much of the ball.
-
Bournemouth just scored a belter.
-
might be worth throwing on Grealish for Gil at half time, Grealish might be more comfortable on the left
Bar Bunn's brainfreeze we have been comfortable defending even with 10 men, West Ham have been really poor
-
Not sure about the penalty, his back was turned, maybe that was how he had to jump on the run, etc. No doubt about the red card though, perhaps the most stupid and most obvious sending off this season.
-
This has brave defending let down by a tired defensive calamity written all over it. Shame, really, because with a bit more time on the ball and a better outlet it could have been a smash and grab even with ten men.
-
Crap game
-
Crap game
You could have cut and pasted that from any of our match threads for the past four seasons.
-
Fuck sake will some of you get a grip, wanting to drop our best player this season because he got a red card, yes it's stupid, he'll get his ban for it, but lets not throw him under a bus in a tantrum.
No. He's a millionaire c*** acting like a c***. It's not a mistake. He'll probably be banned for 5 games. Violent conduct.
So having money means you're not allowed to do something stupid with a rush of blood?
He's paid not to be stupid. Nothing "angry" was going on. He won't care.
As I said the other day. Top to bottom in all top flight football, failure is rewarded. Get on that gravy train and it doesn't matter whether you have relegation in your CV.
I don't usually care so much, but I'm upset about other stuff in real life not football, so I'd laugh it off another day.
Of course, hr should be played again.
-
Not sure about the penalty, his back was turned, maybe that was how he had to jump on the run, etc. No doubt about the red card though, perhaps the most stupid and most obvious sending off this season.
He moved his arm back.
-
I blamed Kouyate when it was Song but that arm across Gabby's face could easily have been a yellow as well.
Kouyate arm across face - nothing. Last season Benteke puts hand on face of Mason against Spurs and gets Red for violent conduct!!
The refs in the Premier League are ****ing unbelievable.
-
The pots take is Garde had got us drilled into a style of pay that actually looks solid and gives us a chance now. Until the madness we were easily the better team. We were last week too. And second half against Leicester. Beat Palace too. Those two pens go our way as they should last 2 games we are possibly sitting on 18 points tonight with Norwich at the weekend. As it is it will be 13 without our best forward. Garde must have had enough.
-
So...who do we put on up front to try and change it? Forgive my ignorance but who is Mason?
-
The ref has been diabolical yet again.
-
Think it was a(nother) clear pen - as the pundits say, his arm was at an 'unnatural angle'. Not for the first time we're been denied a stonewall pen - Huth can decapitate Kozak and it's not even a penalty let alone a red card. There's a conspiracy afoot
-
Pretty proud of that display under the circumstances, Ayew apart. Discipline, fight, sharpish passing, should have had a pen.
-
Have to say, I hate this trend for low camera angles for televised games. Makes the pitch look so crowded.
-
With Ayew banned, Kozak and Gestede injured, it's a good job we signed a striker in the January change wind........
Oh shit it!
-
A booking fucking hell.
-
At last a yellow for Song - and no, David Pleat it wasn't his first foul, it was about 5 in the same part of the pitch
-
Bacuna's delivery is horrible.
-
Have to say, I hate this trend for low camera angles for televised games. Makes the pitch look so crowded.
Wait till next season. Some of the highlights on that channel five show look like they were filmed by Michael J Fox on a Nokia N95.
-
Bacuna. Pathetic.
An opportunity to get the ball in and he does that.
-
Phew, that was close.
-
Great defending Richards and great save Bunn.
-
That was a superb save.
-
Bacuna's delivery is horrible.
Has it ever been different?
Nope
Shit footballer. Always has been, always will be
-
Imagine this. We bought a winger and a striker in January.
-
Great work by Bunn and Richards there
-
Another shit decision by the linesman
-
Fuck me this officiating is diabolical.
-
Fucking hell linesman!!!!
-
I'd get Grealish on for Gil.
-
Great stuff from Richards, marking four players there.
-
Fucking BT commentators desperate for West Ham to score and 'get what they deserve'.
Fuckers.
-
Bacuna's delivery is horrible.
Has it ever been different?
Nope
Shit footballer. Always has been, always will be
It was different for a few weeks when we had Benteke up top. Oh well.
-
How is that a free kick??
-
Where was the foul then?
-
There's fight there, at least.
-
Oh fuck off - never a foul
-
This ref is just embarrassing.
-
Is this the referee who denied us a pen against Spurs when Helenius or whatever his name was had his shorts pulled down Have a feeling it was
-
I'd get Grealish on for Gil.
Sinclair. Need someone with pace if we get a chance to break.
-
Never a free kick. I missed the 1st half. WHat was Ayew sent off for?
-
the ref is a cheat, plain and simple, there's fuck all unbiased about this performance.
-
Last minute booking vs Norwich, ayew then misses 6pointer vs Sunderland
A deliberate and needless sending off 2nite ensuring a3-5 game ban.
I wonder what the odds are that ayew has a release clause in his contract and will activate it should
Relegation happen as seems likely. I wouldn't bet against it!
-
Never a free kick. I missed the 1st half. WHat was Ayew sent off for?
Assault and battery
-
Not sure about the penalty, his back was turned, maybe that was how he had to jump on the run, etc. No doubt about the red card though, perhaps the most stupid and most obvious sending off this season.
Yep I agree with this comment.
Handballs are getting ridiculous the ruling has to err on the side of being deliberate. People don't jump or throw themselves in the way without arms flailing all over the place.
-
Never a free kick. I missed the 1st half. WHat was Ayew sent off for?
Being a dick.
-
Jesus we can't even get the throw ins we deserve.
-
I'd get Grealish on for Gil.
And Trev on for Gabby. Has he even touched the ball this game?
-
You can tell the team feel hard done by here, good to see this spirit
-
If scores stay the same we are a point closer to safety. Just trying to be positive.
If we can nick a goal late on 8)
-
This ref needs fucking shooting
-
I'd get Grealish on for Gil.
And Trev on for Gabby. Has he even touched the ball this game?
Are you watching the game
-
Oh fuck off ref - you're just taking the piss now
-
Not sure about the penalty, his back was turned, maybe that was how he had to jump on the run, etc. No doubt about the red card though, perhaps the most stupid and most obvious sending off this season.
Yep I agree with this comment.
Handballs are getting ridiculous the ruling has to err on the side of being deliberate. People don't jump or throw themselves in the way without arms flailing all over the place.
nonsense, his arm was almost straight out behind him right where the ball was clearly going, it's 100% deliberate and that's clear.
-
Never a free kick. I missed the 1st half. WHat was Ayew sent off for?
Cresswell pinched the skin of on the back of Ayew who then threw an elbow into his face.
-
Im convinced we wont concede tonight. Just convert the one chance we might get and its three points
-
We haven't been shit, in fact we have actually been quite good.
I suspect Ayew allowed himself to get wound up by the pen decision (criminal), Okore getting an unpunished push and Cresswell giving him a bit of a shoving. No excuse at all, but if we had the pen we should have he would still be on the pitch most likely with a goal to his name.
Ayew needs his arse kicking, but we have been robbed.
-
Off the post now. Or Bunn was. If we don't lose this it's a fucking miracle.
-
Bunn in no mans land
-
Im convinced we wont concede tonight. Just convert the one chance we might get and its three points
Great timing.
-
And there it is
-
Here they go.
-
And there it is.
-
Gil has to do better at holding onto the ball. There's the game.
-
What the bollocks was that?
-
Never a free kick. I missed the 1st half. WHat was Ayew sent off for?
Cresswell pinched the skin of on the back of Ayew who then threw an elbow into his face.
Thanks. Good grief.
-
That's that then
-
Shit.
-
Predictable.
-
Goodnight.
-
Cross by Noble who should be off.
-
Meh.
-
Oh and that goal was offside btw.
-
Guy in the centre is a yard offside
-
Im convinced we wont concede tonight. Just convert the one chance we might get and its three points
can you take your mindless optimism elsewhere please.
-
Fuck. Right on his head.
And it had to be offside. Standard.
-
Shouldn't Bunn have dived there?
-
A player was well offside.
-
Bad defending cost us there. Nothing to do with the red card.
-
In afraid Carles that's your fault
-
Given the way it's been reffed if we'd crossed that it'd have been given offside.
-
Hey ho.
-
It's just endless misery. Make it stop.
-
It's just endless misery. Make it stop.
Not long now, another few weeks and it will all be like a bad dream.
-
Im convinced we wont concede tonight. Just convert the one chance we might get and its three points

Oops
-
Need to replace Gil, he's had a shocking few minutes here.
-
There was an opportunity here tonight.
That petualant little shit has cost us any chance.
Why shouldn't he be "thrown under the bus". That's exactly what he's done to team mates and fans alike tonight.
I'd let the fucker hitch hike home.
-
How much worse could Garde's week be? The answer's none, none more worse.
-
Tomkins can fuck off with that smirk.
-
Looking across that pitch, you can see players now just going through the motions. Bacuna, I'm looking at you.
-
I thought we have looked ok in places. Micah richards esp.
-
It's just endless misery. Make it stop.
Not long now, another few weeks and it will all be like a bad dream.
Fuck it, knowing my luck I'll wake up and realise it's just got worse and I support those twats in blue rags.
-
Why was Ayew sent off? Just got in.
-
We've not been lucky that's for sure. Looked good for 15 mins, and solid for the rest of the first half. But away from home with 10 men for 75 minutes is asking a lot. Stupid sending off. Penalty 50/50 in my view, "seen 'em given" type incident.
-
Can't be bothered with this now.
-
Is this the referee who denied us a pen against Spurs when Helenius or whatever his name was had his shorts pulled down Have a feeling it was
yes that's one of his specials
-
Bacuna's delivery is horrible.
I'm sick of saying it but I'll say it again anyway.Bacuna is rubbish and should never be playing for the Villa. It speaks volumes that he gets a regular game.
-

because he's a good player that we need to paly to get as many points as possible, he was stupid and he'll be punished for it but the over reaction from some is just as bad as his over reaction to a little push.
-
Why was Ayew sent off? Just got in.
Swung an arm. Blatant red. Blatant twat
-
How much worse could Garde's week be? The answer's none, none more worse.
I wouldn't blame him if he walked tomorrow and I wouldn't raise an eyebrow neither..
he didn't deserve this
-
Cissokho has lost his marbles
-
The piss take is 11v11 we were all over them
The ref simply looks to which way they appeal to give the decisions.
He might as well go over to the bench, to his knees and suck Bilic off for ten minutes. Fucking corrupt fat fuck
Ayew should be made to cup his bollocks in the process for his idiocy. Cock.
-
Bacuna's delivery is horrible.

Come on. That's not quite fair.
He looks a premier league player.
He's got tattoos, including neck ones.
-
Shit still 24 mins to go.

Correct. I'm sure plenty of Villa players have done something similarly stupid. It's not one act if petulance that's got us into this mess and he has been one of the few, tiny, glimmers of hope that we might somehow get out of it.
He needs to learn from this and grow up. He's still easily our best forward so talk of disowning him is ludicrous.
-
Why was Ayew sent off? Just got in.
Swung an arm. Blatant red. Blatant twat
And we were easily the better side up to then.
-
There's a very long time left to hold out for a 1-0 loss.
-

We were better with 11, but the sending off is nothing to do with the ref.
-
Saw a young Villa fan at work today in reception waiting for his treatment - he smiled and said "well it can't get any worse now can it?"
I laid a fatherly hand on his shoulder, looked him in the eye and said "Oh it can with this shower, you just watch..."
Afterwards I felt like I'd kicked a puppy.
-
Moss is probably on a promise ;D

He wouldn't have to hitch hike. He would just hire a chauffeur driven limo to take him to his million pound pad.
-
I did not say it was Vegas
It is the only call he has got right all night
Noble AGAIN!!!
Fucking cheat. Should be off now. What 4th bookable?
Moss is a ******
-
That's three yellow cards Noble should have had.
Appalling officiating tonight.
-
Noble booked!

I normally ignore the knee jerk stuff but tonight it feels like, for some, all the frustration over the window has been directed at the guy who is probably our player of the season.
and there's Noble's third yellow card, first one the ref has given though.
-
Is this referee watching the game?
-
Jamie Vardy, fucking hell.
-
Fuck me Remi
is this your resignation letter - I had to throw Richardson on lol!
-
Thank fuck Richardson is coming on.
-
Collins and Noble could easily have been sent off for west ham.
-
Bloody Richardson!!
-
Richardson? I hate to use text speak, but 'lol'
-
If Kieron Richardson is the answer we're asking the wrong questions
-
garde must not rate Grealish one iota, Richardson first man on
-
Remi couldn't look more pissed off
-
I tell you what, that push from Collins is a clear yellow off the ball but after seeing the Ayew one they all miraculously that.
-
Great, shoring up a defence for a loss.
-
Oh ffs what is Richardson going to do, fucking appalling player who should be in an american retirement team.
-
They should be down to nine men....the referees actions have given them the feeling they are not going to be punished.
we should make sure that we inform the f.a, like pulis did, that we don't want master moss.
defended with spirit and application..deserved better tonight.
-
Booking for the dive Moss? Nah plays for West Ham
-
Three in three for Afobe at Bournemouth.
Who knew signing a forward could increase your chance of scoring goals?
-
Richardson, on thirty seconds, gets caught in possession with nobody around him. I'm going 3-0.
-
Bournemouth take the lead, not that it matters to us any more.
-
Fuck me Gabby is being held like a vice there ref.
-
Bacuna and Richardson, players I actually fucking detest (and Sinclair).
-
Bournemouth's new striker puts them ahead.
-
Gabby couldn't trap a bag of cement
-
Oh ffs what is Richardson going to do, fucking appalling player who should be in an american retirement team.
He is in an American relegation team...isn't that close enough?
-
Saw a young Villa fan at work today in reception waiting for his treatment - he smiled and said "well it can't get any worse now can it?"
I laid a fatherly hand on his shoulder, looked him in the eye and said "Oh it can with this shower, you just watch..."
Afterwards I felt like I'd kicked a puppy.
at least you would have made contact
bacuna would have miskicked the fax machine
-
Well this is about as abject as possible really. Nice touch from Richardson there.
-
Three in three for Afobe at Bournemouth.
Who knew signing a forward could increase your chance of scoring goals?
Wanted him in the summer. We would be about 15th had he signed him.
-
Oh ffs what is Richardson going to do, fucking appalling player who should be in an american retirement team.
I reckon Remi wants somebody to put a tackle in.
-
David Pleat implying Moss has favoured West Ham!
-
I'm sorry, I know it's been said, but Kieran Richardson is a really poor footballer.
-
Just seen sending off. Utter utter dick!
-
Richardson: two interventions, two fuck-ups.
Why did he not give Lyden a run-out?!
-
Great save by Bunn.
-
Just seen sending off. Utter utter dick!
Blimey mate, your stream's way behind ;)
-
Did Bacuna just completely shit out there?
-
Lyden or Mason.
I reckon Richardson coming on is a point being made to the board
-
Defence has played pretty well tbf. Absolutely no hope of scoring though.
-
Did Bacuna just completely shit out there?
Yes
-
All the frustration over the window has been directed at the guy who is probably our player of the season.
The title "Player of the Season" is hardly valid, this campaign. Also, that peevish, theatrical elbow has cost our fucking olympian hero three games. I can understand the reaction.
-
Gana and Veretout are doing their best to get some passing going and move it up the pitch. But every time they pass it to Gabby or Richardson, they give it away with their first touch. Absolute bollocks.
-
Fucking Valencia should be booked again for diving! Fuck me that was awful
-
Did Bacuna just completely shit out there?
Yes
He has that in his locker.
-
And that was a dive
-
Should that have been another booking for a dive.
-
Valencia should've been booked for that one, shocking dive that he got away with because noble got a shot in.
-
West Ham should have filled their boots tonight. All the more frustrating when you note we were the better team.
-
Think we've played well tonight. The players have defended well and shown lots of fight. Bad refereeing and ayew to blame
-
Like the board give a flying fuck?
-
Let's face it tonight Garde has probably had the worst bench of any prem team this season.
-
Bacuna is a spineless sort isnt he, jumping out of every challenge since half time
ducking responsibility for tracking runners etc
-
Keiran Richardson really is a truly awful player.
-
I put £1 on Ayew scoring a brace each game. I like him.
I'll get over it.
-
Isn't it depressing?
-
Sinclair on then
-
At least Richardson on the pitch is making Bacuna look half decent.
-
Got to say I think Gabby has put a shift in tonight
-
I thought Gabby was ok tonight considering its his first start for months and was all on his own.
-
Bacuna is a spineless sort isnt he, jumping out of every challenge since half time
ducking responsibility for tracking runners etc
A Nancy boy no doubt. Poncified, so yo speak.
-
Think we've played well tonight. The players have defended well and shown lots of fight. Bad refereeing and ayew to blame
Been saying it for weeks, Garde stabilized us, made us hard to beat and those f**king W**kers in the board room have hung him out to dry.
-
Three in three for Afobe at Bournemouth.
Who knew signing a forward could increase your chance of scoring goals?
I give you Aston Villa who signed two (count 'em!) forwards in the summer. We have been treated to a cavalcade of goals from Messrs Ayew and Gestede. Thank goodness for such foresight! No relegation fears for the magnificent Aston Villa this year!
-
Fuck me, 2 more Veretouts instead of Bacuna and Westwood and we would have a midfield.
-
I put £1 on Ayew scoring a brace each game. I like him.
I'll get over it.
Thank him for saving you the next £3 then...
-
The Ayew red
https://streamable.com/4dft
-
I take back what I said about not wanting to keep anybody. Veretout is a very useful player.
-
BogEyes losing against Swansea, they are being dragged right into the mire.
-
When you have player like James Collins doing ole passes around your forwards as they jog about, you know you're in trouble.
-
Think we've played well tonight. The players have defended well and shown lots of fight. Bad refereeing and ayew to blame
Ayew ruined the game for us.
-
It is pretty staggering, though, isn't it, that we've managed to become *this much* of a shambles.
Last season (and the several before) was fucking horrible, but even compared to that, this is all significantly worse.
-
Corner!! YAY!!
-
Pathetic
-
From our corner.
-
You couldn't make it up
-
Nowt new to say is there?
-
Roll on, Saturday.
-
Fin.
-
And they go straight up the other end and score
-
Fucking classic Villa corner that. Absolute fucking classic.
-
Whoooosh there ya go.
-
Fuck off.
-
T'ra a bit.
-
Virtually every single game we make some sort of fuck-up. Totally unprofessional.
-
Fucking hell, I feel so sorry for Remi Garde.
-
Bacuna is a dog shit player.
-
New low - the opposition popping it in our net from our corner.
-
Corner!! YAY!!
Say everyone we play.
-
Virtually every single game we make some sort of fuck-up. Totally unprofessional.
We had every man up for the corner, you can't really blame them for that, it's the only way we were ever going to get a shot on goal.
-
Nothing we could have done about that. We were after the goal, left ourselves short. Fuck off though, they're celebrating like they've just won the European Cup.
-
from a corner again. it used to be that a corner against us was a goal, bow its our own fucking corners. fuck off you utter utter twats.
-
Done on the break. Still we had to send everybody up for that.
-
Great counter by Wet Spam though.
-
It is pretty staggering, though, isn't it, that we've managed to become *this much* of a shambles.
Last season (and the several before) was fucking horrible, but even compared to that, this is all significantly worse.
It has been coming for years!
Why are people shocked? Randy has been fucking us since 2011. We have only surpassed 40 pts once in the last four seasons.
-
Remi: offer your resignation, and I'll be happy for you to do so my son.
You don't deserve this shit.
-
I don't mind that goal. We are 10 men, losing and threw everyone forward for a corner in the last 5 minutes. Not much to blame
-
I don't think Garde will stay til the end of the season and I don't blame him one bit.
-
Nice of Bunn to lie down in front of the West Ham forward there
-
We really are the gift that keeps on giving.
Two games in a row the opposition score in seconds from OUR corner.
-
rm -rf Villa
-
I am also more and more convinced that allowed the summer to build his own side, Garde will bring us back up at a canter.
-
Garde can go with his head held high and the good wishes of most of the fans.
-
Bunn, since the booking against Leicester, is routed to his line
-
rm -rf Villa
I see what you did there.
-
I do fully expect the resignation.
-
Remi: offer your resignation, and I'll be happy for you to do so my son.
You don't deserve this shit.
I absolutely, totally agree.
I said earlier today, he should walk, purely on principle and to highlight the complete and utter ineptitude of the people above him who are running and ruining our club.
-
I don't mind that goal. We are 10 men, losing and threw everyone forward for a corner in the last 5 minutes. Not much to blame
Exactly
-
Poor Garde I bet he didn't realise it was going to be this shit... I thought we played okay in places. We certainly are playing better than we were under sherwood. I'd say its a bit late for us to stay up - hope he is around to get us promoted next year.
-
I agree with ozz....rather we were caught on the counter after having a chance to put it in.
See the tesco's are losing at home to Swansea..the championship party is open for them lot potentially too
-
I don't mind that goal. We are 10 men, losing and threw everyone forward for a corner in the last 5 minutes. Not much to blame
Exactly
Yup, we were doing the right thing.
-
We look pretty tired now
-
I've long since reached the stage when I just laugh at the latest incompetence. One day - perhaps a long time hence - when we're winning matches again, we'll look back at all this and try to comprehend as to whether it really was as bad as it actually is. One things for sure, the young uns won't believe us.
-
Nice of Bunn to lie down in front of the West Ham forward there
In his defence we look so much more composed with him in than Guzan. He has made 3-4 really good saves tonight as well, in a 1-1 like that I reckon the keeper would probably stop maybe 1 in 10?
-
Richards has had a surprisingly good game tonight, probably our best
all have battled pretty well, with the exception of Bacuna and Gil to mention two who seemed to leave their bottle behind at half time
-
I get the Garde comments (head held high etc) and I get that it's because he's been shafted by the board and all. BUT, the appointment of him has been a fucking disaster from start to now.
If he left tomorrow I'd barely blink.
The club is a total, unmitigated shambles at every single perceivable level.
-
Garde can go with his head held high and the good wishes of most of the fans.
Why are so many Villa fans wanting our first decent manager for years to walk away, have you all got some sort of fucked up football related stockholm syndrome?
-
Just think, lads! We've got a loss to Norwich at home on Saturday to look forward to!
-
No shame in this tonight. We've given it our best and that's all we can ask for.
-
I don't mind that goal. We are 10 men, losing and threw everyone forward for a corner in the last 5 minutes. Not much to blame
Yeah you have to risk something at that stage and with only 10 men it was likely that we would get caught.
-
Mark Noble man of the match, someone who shouldn't even have been on the fucking pitch.
-

If Gestede and Kozak are injured, and Ayew is suspended, does that make Gabby our only available forward this weekend?

He won't walk. He wouldn't get paid.

Could cry for Remi
-
Didn't catch much of this. How did our new signings do?
-
Garde can go with his head held high and the good wishes of most of the fans.
Why are so many Villa fans wanting our first decent manager for years to walk away, have you all got some sort of fucked up football related stockholm syndrome?
To prove a point to the board I guess - classic cutting off nose to spite face.
To me, our only hope is somehow they get Garde to stay on through next season. Promise him the moon. He could SGTmkI v 2.0.

I assume we'll put Rushian on the bench.

Because it would be a more effective protest than anything the fans can put together.

One thing I won't be happy with on Saturday is calamitous defending. They can do it, even a 2-0 loss showed that.

Only problem is Garde now knows what the board promises and what they actually deliver are two very different things
-
We were worse than shit, & Ayew's a pillock, but we haven't got our fair share of decisions either. Noble MoM when he shouldn't have been on the pitch.
-
Remi has shown he's a man of integrity. I'll actually be disappointed for him, if he doesn't offer his resignation this evening, based upon principle.

That did make me chuckle. But I'm struggling to see how Garde has been decent? Decent would've been a league place or two up. A string of wins. A signing or 5. I know that isn't completely in his control, but he has to take some of the blame for where we are now, which is a worse position to when he took the job in terms if points adrift at least.

Except what good does it do for us to be looking for our 4th manager in a year, from the fans point of view? For me it's just wanting something else to be pissed off about.

Remi looked like a man on his way out. Shaking all the players hands seperately

I said it last night because I feel sorry for him. Would it be the best thing for the club, definitely not.

That's about right, I would walk if I was Garde though.

That's what it looked like to me as well. Godf'kin'dammit.

I agree.
The only thing that could make this season worse than it has already been would be Garde leaving.
-
If he does walk, Saturday's game will be a rather lively affair. Off the pitch.
-
We battled tonight. Not seen that much this season. Similar level of effort on Saturday and we could close the gap to 7 points with Norwich dropping like a stone.
Not saying we'd survive but I'd take just having the possibility of something to play for in the remaining games.
-
"We'recommend having a party when Lerner dies".
Already on the tube. Load of fucking shite.

Decent because you can see that with a good forward in the team we'd be a far better side than the results are showing right now. I've said a few times what Garde has needed for a while is to get a couple of cheap wins, someone to have one go in off his back or something similar just so the players feel a little less like fate is against them, Ref performances like today are the absolute last thing a club in our position needs bu they get them all too often.
-
We were worse than shit, & Ayew's a pillock, but we haven't got our fair share of decisions either. Noble MoM when he shouldn't have been on the pitch.
Ridiculous, we were on top until Ayew went off then I thought Remi had the players well organised, very hard to get a result with ten men for most of the game.

And that's my point the fans should be praying he stays, not exclaiming to everyone that they'll understand if he walks away. I fucking won't, I'll be seriously pissed off just like everyone else should be.

I don't give one tenth of one single shit about that lot, seriously. It's all about us.

I agree there was plenty of spirit there and quite honestly West Ham are no better than us but our ability to self destruct is unbelievable

Hmm, not sure I follow.
I'll understand if he leaves because he quite clearly has been fucked by the board. That doesn't mean I want it - far from it - I can just understand if it happens, because he has just cause.
-
The look on the players faces as they walked off was the look of dead men walking.

I can't argue with the fact he's been unlucky. But when boiled down to results, he's been a disaster. Can a manager survive that? Maybe if the playing staff gets a total upheaval. Looks like that isn't happening.

I've said before, I'd rather not play them at all. It's their big game not ours

Perhaps I was harsh on the team as a whole, but maybe it was just me who saw Bacuna strolling around & not defending, & Richardson's appalling control. No fault on effort, but not much quality. It's all just so, so sad.
-
Jordan Ayew, thank you for putting the final nail in our coffin.
Hopefully you never pull on our shirt again and if you do then I hope our fans boo you any time you touch the ball so you are bombed out of our club as soon as possible. I have been following The Villa for nearly 50 years and have never ever slated a player of ours while the game is on but would make an exception in your case. You are a prime example of a spoilt brainless overpaid shitbag of a footballer who has aboslutely no understanding or conception of the sheer bloody hurt and heartache your sort causes to us. I hope your career nosedives down to nothing you complete and utter f**cking scumbag.

I'm more complaining about the 'go with our best wishes' style comments but even the 'I'll understand if he walks' stuff I won't I want what's best for the club and him walking isn't that, reagrdless of how justified it may be, I want him and the players to decide to go out with a fight and set us up for a summer of building to come back first time, we're clearly down so lets think about what we need in August and for me Garde in the dugout is on that list. For that reason I want him to stay and he won't have my best wishes or understanding if he leaves, he'll be another in a long list who put themselves before the club.

Exactly the sort of ridiculous over reaction that was pissing me off earlier in the thread.
-
Fuck me, 2 more Veretouts instead of Bacuna and Westwood and we would have a midfield.
Veretout plus 2 traffic cones would be better than those two useless twats.
-
What about playing the McGregor statue up front against Norwich instead of Flabby Agbonlabollocks? I think we'd get better movement and ball control and he'd certainly stand a better chance of scoring!
Talking seriously, Gabby should have been put out to grass years ago and his continued overpaid presence at the club shines a light on the sentimentality and ineptitude that has eaten away at the club like a cancer these last five utterly dreadful years. He's been taking the piss out of us for a long time and while he was once a good player, any half decent coach would have weeded him out long ago. Ditto countless other mediocrities still clinging on to the club like slugs and limpets.
We've become a laughing stock, rather like a pissed up and clapped out old uncle at a wedding prattling on about the good old days. An utter embarrassment, stinking out the Premiership. I say this with a sadness in my heart because I love the Villa and have followed them for 53 years. But I hate Lerner's Villa, the bastard child of a criminally useless owner. I don't recognise them as my Villa. Colourless, clueless, spiritless, owned by a stayaway American and run by an American hopelessly out of his depth. The players are people I can't relate to or admire. Nobody wants to play for us and nobody wants to watch us. Lerner's Villa is effectively dead. It's over.
Who can give us our club back and how far will we sink before someone does? I haven't the faintest clue but it's getting very very scary for my beloved Villa now.
