Love the club, utterly ashamed of the cretins and charlatans running it and playing for us. They are a disgrace to the name Aston Villa and a stain on the clubs history. Please, somehow, let us be taken over in the summer and let Lerner and his concoction of ****** fuck off from our doors forever. The man and his goons should be ashamed of themselves.

Gestede, Cissokho, Ayew did well, Hutton (and for once) Westwood Gana were passable. The reason we are down is because we never have more than 3-4 players who play well.

I live down in London - so didn't go. Watched the second half. I recognised the stadium, I even recognised some of the fans who the camera era panned to. But I did not recognise the team as the Aston Villa I know.

Going to the stadium, seeing it on TV or even passing it on stage used to make the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end and give me a buzz of excitement, anticipation and hope. I have so many happy memories of Villa Park.

But watching that game felt like I couldn't quite recognise what the club has become.

I feel like crying!

Thanks Mr Lerner.

If you have players who think it's fun to fuck the club over (even just a few) and no chance to make any changes then I think anyone would struggle.  It's almost impossible to make up for even one player not trying at this level.  I want him to stay but he'll need to be allowed to ditch the bad apples even it means having bomb squad mk II.

In sporting terms, 2015-16 has been a total annus horribilis for me. Apart from the Villa, Worcester Warriors are almost certain to sink back into the division below and Worcestershire CCC got relegated. Even the local basketball team blew their league despite being one of the best in the county.

That's why I don't watch my school's football team.

Was it 2008/09 when we had those two brilliant games against Everton? 3-2 at their place and 3-3 at VP? God, even Luke Young scoring the winner in a total backs to the wall job in 2010 was manna from heaven compared to now. It seems these games are a good barometer of our fortunes, but even at their shittest in the Premier League, Everton didn't drop. Horrible times.

Well we're heading for oblivion. We've deserved to go down for the last five years and now it's as near as confirmed. Worst season to be relegated in terms of the financial windfall coming.

We'll be relegated from the Championship of we're not careful.
The whole club from top to bottom needs ripping up and starting again.
The owner is an absolute fool who just doesn't know how to run a successful sporting business. Bad decision after bad decision of poor managers culminating in Garde, who to be honest hasn't a clue either
We may as well have stuck with McLeish.

The player recruitment policy is an absolute joke. Paddy Reilly? How does he justify his salary? We won't get a decent fee for any of these players and the majority need replacing.
Thankfully I can't see any of them forging a decent career elsewhere. Aston Villa will have been there peak.

Not sure why I'm writing all this. We all know the score. Doom and gloom and the sooner relegation is officially confirmed the better.

Aston Villa. Once a big club. Sadly no longer.

I don't know who has been responsible for the defensive side of things at Villa for the past few years, but how is it possible for at least three consecutive combinations of defensive options to be lacking in such basic skills? It's not just Richards and Lescott, it's Dunne, Collins, Baker, Clark, Warnock and the rest of them. Utter drivel, the lot of them.

Like others, for the first time in my living memory (am nearly 47) I didn't track the game tonight beyond an occasional flick onto the BBC website & H&V. Not that I don't care, nor that I don't love this club with a passion, simply what is the point at the moment. I commend those who went, those who walked and stayed after 74 minutes, this is our lowest point in my living memory and I lived, breathed and naively travelled the length and breadth of the country the last time we went down. That team was young/naive/not good enough; this team don't give one in the main and their leaders on and off the pitch reflect that. I feel for Garde but ultimately he hasn't changed cultures or found a way to break the malaise. For that alone, accompanied by his glum staring into space bewilderment, I can't see a way forward under him. No one can succeed under the ownership we have but he is too damaged a set of goods now, as results worsen and undoubtably won't get better this season, to turn it around this summer. Sorry if that is defeatist

All the words have been said.
All the superlatives have been used.
All the analysis has been performed.

We are a poor excuse for a football team, we are going down and getting our just desserts for the last 4 -5 years of mismanagement.
There is very little more to say.

The only thing that REALLY worries me is that the 'team' we saw there tonight will be pretty much the nucleus of the team we will see next season.
Not many of them will move on because no one will buy them. None of them are worth buying.

The thought of many of those wasters representing us again next year is very,very scary.

I guess not bothering to check on the results of Sunderland and those teams fighting relegation just about sums up tonight's performance.

Everton, as their league positions shows, are just like Stoke, crap. Two games against relatively poor teams and we make both look like bloody Barcelona. A team fighting relegation would have picked up 6 points from them. Us? We just bloody roll over. There's no fight in this team, just a group of overpaid tossers.

Not our worst performance of the season.

There was a decent response to going a goal down I thought but as soon as it got to 2-0 that was it.

We have gone back to being piss easy to score against either with the ludicrous 5 at the back so going to be a struggle to get much over 20 points now.

The issue with Dunne is that we would not have got him unless he was flawed.

His propensity for drinking and his disciplinary problems were well known before we bought him.  MoN's exit and Houllier's arrival more or less ensured what would happen. Ditto Warnock, and Collins. All potential piss artists waiting for an excuse to go the piss. New training program, switch from zonal defending: Bingo!

Don't forget that Warnock got into the England squad on the basis of his performances for us.

Pure, unadulterated shite. Embarrassingly poor players with only one or two - Gana and Hutton - showing any fight and pride - and only Hutton came to the Holte End at the end to applaud the fans and give a youngster his shirt - all the others just wandered off. Good to hear Tom Fox starting to get some 'feedback' at last. Off to the single malt.

Didn't we have a decent defence with Dunne, Collins and Warnock in the team? Unfair to throw them in with that other lot.

Well, for one season, we did, at least until Dunne came back from injury the size of a fucking house. Let's not forget what an unprofessional fat fuck he was.

Good player though, and immensely better than the shit we've had since.

For one whole season.

THat's precisely the problem with this club for the last ten years plus. One season. Any other club would regard that as a dreadful failure, but we're so used to fucking shit, he's seen as a great player.

And as for being better than the shit we have had since, that's the faintest of praise.

The issue with Dunne is that we would not have got him unless he was flawed.

His propensity for drinking and his disciplinary problems were well known before we bought him.  MoN's exit and Houllier's arrival more or less ensured what would happen. Ditto Warnock, and Collins. All potential piss artists waiting for an excuse to go the piss. New training program, switch from zonal defending: Bingo!

Don't forget that Warnock got into the England squad on the basis of his performances for us.

Moral of the story. Do not swing widely from one managerial style to another without considering the players on the ground.

Dunne and Colins were good defenders, the latter still is. He was easily better than any of our own a few weeks ago at W Ham and I know that is faint praise so will add to that by saying he annoyingly dominated  Benteke in our last victory of last season.

Our defence was a lot shakier under Houllier than under MON, and that may have been due to their attitude or it may have been due to a manager not playing to his players' strengths.

If you were to somehow gain access to Villa Park at about two-o-clock tomorrow morning when everyone has gone and take up your seat, the noise you would hear would be deafening.  Would you be imagining it? No, what you would be hearing is the sound of my father and thousands upon thousands of long gone supporters and long gone heroic players who actually gave a shit sobbing their hearts out at what is happening to their club.

It was the same old story. The opposition don't have to do much to win. I think it was two efforts on target from Everton first half and two easy goals. Ultimately it's about lack of quality, we have full backs who try to get forward who rarely deliver decent crosses, midfielders who get shots away but very rarely score, Gabby who is past it, poor goalkeeper(s) and central defenders who cannot organise themselves to do the basics. I think we will be stuck with most of this squad, I doubt whether they are capable of much in the championship.

I thought tonight that we have the feel of a house that has a rotting kipper down the back of the sofa and no-one can quite work out where the stench is coming from.

I don't want him to sell us for 27p to any passing cowboy, but he really does need to concentrate his mind in leaving now.

Only just summoned up the energy to post after being at the game earlier.  Yet another spineless and pathetic performance.  We made it so easy for them that it looked like Gareth Barry's testimonial at times.  Barry could have played in an armchair tonight it was so comfortable for him in midfield.  I thought Gana and Ayew were the only ones who showed any kind of fight, but Ayew was rusty after his lay off and Gana makes errors that belong in Sunday league football.  Bacuna and Westwood starting in midfield together says it all really.

What is classed as ridiculous? Everton are valued at £187 mil at the moment with the amount the majority person just paid for half.

Was out at a residents meeting tonight, so got home and watched the "highlights" on Match Choice without knowing the result. Or to be more accurate Match I-really-don't-want-to-watch-this-but-feel-like-I-have-to.

I don't care what the statistics say, IMHO we are the worst side in Premier League history. Everton turned up, played badly and still won comfortably. Average teams are beating us without even trying.

The defending was an insult to parks football. There is not one player who I would be even slightly bothered about leaving. I thought the manager was moving us in the right direction but now it looks like it was a couple of freak results and tonight he's dug out Tim's tombola.

Total incompetence in every area. I really do worry how far we are going to fall before we hire someone who knows what good looks like and give them the tools to get us there.

Collins has made a mockery of our decision to let him go. Has been excellent for West Ham, tough guy, character everything the likes of Vlaar, Richards and Lescott are not.

Dunne made the premier league team of the year at AVFC, he will be the last player for many years to do that. His blood and guts partnership with Collins was very solid. Turned up in disgraceful nick the next season alright but under McAllister he was very solid as the team improved. His injuries under McLeish were part of the reason we faltered badly that season. Injuries finished him but he was a very solid central defender for many years, at least one of which was covering for that moron Richards,

In summary, a pissed up and swelled duo of Dunne and Collins would be comfortably better defenders than Richards and Lescott.

I don't know who has been responsible for the defensive side of things at Villa for the past few years, but how is it possible for at least three consecutive combinations of defensive options to be lacking in such basic skills? It's not just Richards and Lescott, it's Dunne, Collins, Baker, Clark, Warnock and the rest of them. Utter drivel, the lot of them.

Compared to now, Dunne and Collins bring back memories of a better time. That's how bad it is.

The third goal is humiliating. We had about 8 players in the box yet Funes Mori ends up in 15 yards of space to pick out a cross for one of the best strikers in the league who just strolls in behind 3 static defenders for an easy tap in. Another absolute car crash of a goal.

Lennon's goal was a joke..

How the hell they reckoned there were 29k in the ground is beyond me - I know they count STs whether you attend or not but it looked more like 25?

The "European nights/relegation fights" song on 65 mins started the best bit of the night for me - nice to see the Everton fans applauding it. Looking forwards to abusing Randy/Tom/Paddy et al for the rest of the season.

The walkout seems to have been picked up by the media which is a good thing although we could have done without the "we're the real fans" stuff by some of those who stayed. I only go for a sing these days (sure as hell isn't the football) so will probably not join walkouts in future but I applauded those who did something.

The seat banging was fun and reminded me of the days the Trinity would join in - feel free those of you who sit there.

Oh and apparently a football match took place?

Enjoyed the singing.  Enjoyed hearing Fox get his share of the blame at last. Enjoyed seeing Hutton and Veretout give their shirts to fans.

Concluded that the worst of our worst squad in living memory is Richards because he actually chooses to play badly. Our team captain.

Even the food in Charlie's chip shop was disgustingly cold, slimy and priced on their seemingly new scale of fans pay more than locals.

Great song Jordan; as Dave said earlier it may have taken 2,000 attempts to write a good one but this is pure class - shame I was the only one in the Lower Doug singing it but I'm sure it'll catch on. Sorry to the little lad in front who my sister says was frightened by my loud voice.

Thing about that song is, Randy Lerner wants out himself......

Yeah and he wants a ridiculous price to rid himself of the club.

What is classed as ridiculous? Everton are valued at £187 mil at the moment with the amount the majority person just paid for half. Forgetting league position at this moment and looking at the clubs sizes and histories, the last speculated sales figures were somewhere between £150 and £200mil. Yes, this will take a major hit now but I wouldn't have said ridiculous.

Our income will be probably half of theirs next season with investment needed and being in a lower division then Lerner can't seriously expect anyone to pay much more than the £60 odd million he paid for us. The rest of his money is down the pan, he's mis handled the club from top to bottom and his investment is blown to pieces.

Such a damning fact and one I noticed this morning. To compound it, we are 11 points from safety. The difference spending 15m on Austin, Rhodes, Afobe or even a proven striker from abroad could have made to us. Looking at it now, at the start of Jan, if we had gone for someone like that and bought in a couple of midfield generals I honestly think we would be back in this with some key players coming back from injury. We wouldn't have even needed to spend a lot on the midfield, just get in a couple like Nolan, Darren Fletcher, Flamini, Joey Barton even just on 6 month loans who would not stand for their team mates not giving 100% or hiding from the ball. And please don't say it is because we are bottom we didn't get anyone in, you can't tell me that if we matched Afobes wages at Bournemouth  with a 30% increase if we stay up and a release clause if we go down he would have chosen them over us.
Absolutely galling and whether it was Lerner or Fox that threw the towel in they should be stoned in the streets.

Agree with this, why didn't they boo those that walked out after Lukaku's goal/Everton's 3rd? Did they boo anyone who left early in the last home game as Liverpool put their 4th, 5th etc past us? They can do one.

I'm not sure it's forgiving, because it seems pretty clear he does not respect quite a few of them and would rather not play them. The issue seems to be his reluctance to play the youth. The Mail, Kendrick I think, published a story a couple of weeks ago where Garde was said not to want to expose the young players to a situation which could scar them/affect their development. I'm waiting for the point when he decides there's sufficiently few games left and the learning experience won't be a sufficiently negative one.

I didn't walk out last night, but did consider it and have no qualms with fans choosing that way to show their displeasure.  Another thumping against Man City and I can only see a bigger walkout against Spurs.  If it is on TV and they show footage of the protest outside then it might help to get the message across to the wider public.

We want Lerner out; Randy Lerner out
I just don't think you understand
From European nights....to relegation fights
We want Randy Lerner out

Repeat until the whole ground is singing

Great song Jordan; as Dave said earlier it may have taken 2,000 attempts to write a good one but this is pure class - shame I was the only one in the Lower Doug singing it but I'm sure it'll catch on. Sorry to the little lad in front who my sister says was frightened by my loud voice.

Can someone give me a clue to the tune - I thought it was excellent also but cant remember how it went :(

Achy breaky heart

That's reason enough not to sing it

Sounded good to me last night, easy for media and other clubs supports to hear the lyrics, no swear words so quotable. It's fine with me as long as we don't have to start line dancing to it and wearing silly hats.

My god that would be even better

Fuck off scousers with your bed sheets and candle light vigils

Look at the Villa fans with their mullets, cowboy boots and chequered shirts

All we need is Dolly Parton to lead the singing before a match from the centre circle. 

I'm sure we'd all lower the tone by singing get your t*** out for the lads!

Shame on the "supporters" that were booing us that walked out on 74 minutes. They have no conception of our strong feelings and, how helpless we feel with being in the state we are as a Club. At least it got people talking about us on TV and radio

I'm not usually one for tears but, was almost moved to them as I was watching our poor excuse for a football team and, just how far we dropped.

Mass walkout v Spurs is essential as it's live on TV and, I think will generate much needed airing about the once proud and mighty AVFC

We have nothing else to lose so, please back the walkout!!
