David Ginola is making a passionate speech live on Canal +. He is speaking as one of us. He says that the players are to blame, this great club doesn't deserve this. He says he will not congratulate Citeh for beating Aston Villa 4-0 because the players are not doing their jobs. He feels for Rémi who came to accomplish something but has not been backed.

We've lost 4 in a row and taken 3 points out of 18, and are still only 9 points from safety. Considering how gash the 3 above us are it's taking a special level of shitness to be in this position.

Oh they're going. They are every bit a shambles as we are. And that's on top of lashing out £30m in the window. They will fire McLaren tomorrow I imagine but that dressing room is every bit as split as ours with absolutely no leadership at the top.

I couldn't help but glance at the table at half time, and was surprised to see we were still only & points from safety. It shows that if we had just fluked a win and a draw from somewhere earlier this season we'd still be in it. It shows that in a season with 3 of the worst teams in memory in Newcastle, Sunderland and Norwich we will be cut adrift at the bottom. Embarrassing.

MON would no doubt comment, "I thought we played some scintillating football at times and feel unlucky to come away without our share of the points".

The reality is we are useless and deserved nothing. Worse than that, we went out of our way to make it easier for them. It's incredible to think we spent £50m last summer. We'd be lucky to get £25m for the whole squad today.

This club has NO CHANCE of comming back up anytime soon. Losing is too ingrained in these players, especially those who've been here for years. And if/when we did/do get back and Lerner is still here, we will be exactly back where  we are  now, pretending we shop at Harrods but actually shopping at Poundland.

Totally numb to the whole thing now. The only point I now look out for is to see how many goals the other side have scored - the rest is sadly predictable.
Anyway, I'm just about to watch Watford vs Leicester - two poxy clubs with mediocre players who are both doing very well. Good organisation on and off the pitch, great team ethic and players who aren't scared of their own shadows. Unlike watching Villa, it's nice to start a match without knowing that it will be a humiliating trouncing.

Only 2 things annoyed me today. Firstly Richards was picked ( note I didn't say play) and secondly Bacuna came on. Jimmy Armfield said that there is already a division between these 2 clubs and he is right. Look at the cost of their squad and ours. Realistically we didn't have a chance. However other teams 'realistically ' should have had no chance against them but through better management and commitment they have got results against them.

What continues to make this worse for me is that the teams around us keep losing as well. It makes our January surrender even more galling. If we'd have picked up two or three more wins since the window closed we could be out of the bottom three. It's unforgivable.

Completely agree.

Yup maddening.

Yes this is my view as well.

Despite our appalling form, we're still not much further adrift than we were in January.

The owner shows a continuing unforgivable dereliction of duty, the board are unforgivable, the players are unforgivable (albeit untalented), and in the last month the manager as well ..unforgivable.

I don't want to see any of them at the club next season.

Apparantly Richards has a £5mil release clause , frankly if anyone watching him this season thinks he is worth that then good fucking luck.He is ab absolute liability I have no clue , not at all why he continues to be picked he offers the sweet FA.

Gana again ran himself into the ground but had zero help.The midfield as it has been for years is far to lightweight as as ever is always bullied off the ball.Sanchez is only player in there with strength so despite is dwaddling on the ball at times  is a big miss.

Lescott gets abuse but again he is the one defender holding it all together the rest of them were all over the show.Clark produced his usual poor tackling giving away a pen.

In the eyes of the board any money we spend on players going forward will resemble a gamble. The problem is none of them are gamblers. They only understand spreadsheets and cash flow forecasts. Putting forward a business plan to spend money on players will be beyond their understanding. Like any business you do have to balance the books long term but football is not like a lot of businesses and therefore you need to employ people who know how football works. That could well be where we are going wrong perhaps.

The more desperate the club's position gets the more desperate the fans get, so I find it understandable some call for Pearson.
If we had anything about us we'd go cap in hand to Moyes in the summer, but I'm dreaming with that one. It ain't gonna happen and we'll end up with another nobody who is willing to work under Lerner's austerity.

Not sure what fans expect. This is just desserts for years of mis-management at the top. Keep firing managers in the hope the "next" one will reverse fortunes, and we shall keep dropping like a stone. Pearson, Pulis ..... Guardiola, Mourinho - they will all fail under this regime.

The ONLY solution to our ails is a change of ownership. That isn't going to happen soon, which is why we are in a whole world of trouble irrespective who the manager is.

I really don't get the outpouring of contempt for Bacuna. he is severely limited, yes, but that is his only fault. He does try and does put in a shift. But is just out of his depth. My contempt would be saved for those I expect better from but are constantly letting us down by cheating. Richards, Lescott, Gabby etc I like Bacuna but he isn't good enough for this nor the next division. That alone doesn't warrant an outburst of hate.

Got there early this morning to watch City's U18s v Chelsea at the new Academy Stadium just over the footbridge. There's a little Spanish lad in midfield for City, Briham Diaz, who really did look something special. £3 to get in and a good game (4-3) with some decent young players as you'd expect. But Diaz looked a class above everyone. Loan him to a Championship side next season is my advice!
Nothing to say about the afternoon game though, all pretty much as expected. Is there any other ground where Villa have been so consistently bad at? Away ground I mean.

I think we'll end up With the record amount of goals conceded in the prem.

I am no mathematician, but since the 7-1 drubbing at Chelsea in MON's last season, we have been on the receiving end of some absolute thrashings. The alarming thing has been the regularity with which they have occurred. We must be averaging about three 5  or 6 nil thrashings a season since 2010 (not to mention the 8-1 away at Chelsea), and that's a really conservative estimate.

To cut to the chase, have we ever had such a poor defensive record, over a sustained period, before in our history? Genuine question.

They get paid. They are not Professional.

I'd like our 3 club captains to be subject to 2 minutes in a ring with Carl Frampton in a make of break situation. Try or fucking die. They can put their car or gold studs on the line.

On top of those 3 we have Guzan, Clark, Bacuna, Westwood who all need to be binned. Hutton too. Oh and Sinclair. Richardson will be.

Lol, its late, I've had beer! I forgot and other such excuses... :-[ :-[

On the plus side, I smashed the bejeezus out of my poundland radio that kept zoning out of the match and every time I got a signal we seem to have shipped another goal. In hindsight, it was the radios way of a) warning me against listening to that shite and b) a good way to avoid the cretins on WM.
Seriously pissed off but numb to it all. However, I feel we will survive the championship, I really do if Garde is backed and we get rid of the cardboard cutouts masquerading as villa players. I would keep Gestede the Ent and get players who can cross or better still, get in the oppositions half. I doubt we will get more than 20 points this season though. Shocking and shameful

Decided to watch MOTD as i'd only listened to the commentary on the radio. They showed a clip of Gabby that summed up all that is wrong with too many players at the club. Lazy fucker just stood there and made no attempt to close down players on the ball. That's nothing to do with tactics, coaching etc, it's just being a lazy fucker that can't be arsed to move your fat arse.

I said I'd take 4-0 in the pre match thread so on that basis not too humiliating.

I think we'll end up With the record amount of goals conceded in the prem.

I think that's one record we'll miss out on, well unless those bunch of muppets really go all out.  Swindon have the record - 100 goals in 42 games, Derby 89 in 38 games.

I honestly don't know who could manage our 'professional 'players and get decent results. Many players we have had in the past have looked like they would die for the cause but none of the ones we have now give me that impression.

They get paid. They are not Professional.

I'd like our 3 club captains to be subject to 2 minutes in a ring with Carl Frampton in a make of break situation. Try or fucking die. They can put their car or gold studs on the line.

On top of those 3 we have Guzan, Clark, Bacuna, Westwood who all need to be binned. Hutton too. Oh and Sinclair. Richardson will be.



Can I swap Frampton out for David Haye please. At least he would have the power to knock the 3 of em into next fucking week.

Went to bed at half time, scoreless, but I could see what what was in the post for the second half. Very angry at that point. However, I woke up with an attitude change. It's now reality. We're fucked, it's happened, and it's here. The anxiety and dread has gone, to be replaced by a numb acceptance, and an idle curiosity of just how pathetic and embarrassing it could get. There's nothing to salvage from this uberklusterfik of a season, so I hope the lads continue to go about their pursuit of crapness records in a truly professional manner. Another 8-0, or more, thrashing perhaps? Three sent off in one game? A new record for consecutive 5-0 defeats? If we're gonna hit rock bottom, let's do it in a geologically subterranean quality way.
Come on guys, you know you can do it.

In our bar was the Villa game, in the other bar was the Wet Spam game, they managed to do 3 goals against Everton and sounded like a great game, we didn't manage a shot on target and have let 14 in for 1 in return in or last 4 games.

Remi if you ever let that lazy, no good arsehole that sums up AVFC this year, by someone within the organisation who has allowed him to have the honor of wearing the captains arm band, Richards, backed up on the same pitch by that fat overweight useless piece of shit Flabby that still remains as club captain, if you allow them to play please do not come out with crap that they are not trying enough, they are not listening to me in training, etc, etc, because you are the person who names 11 players to go on the pitch and represent Aston Villa, no one else but you, you also allow them to remain in the honored position of being captain and club captain of Aston Villa, this sums you and them up perfectly, you could not give a fuck.

It's hard to believe that if the incompetent management had invested in two or three decent players in January we may have got away with it because all of our nearest rivals are going just as bad. We do not have one genuine leader at the club all we have are weak pricks who surrender after the first shot is fired.
I normally wouldn't dream of playing youngsters in a situation like this but Garde has to make a stand and let the non triers stay away completely, at the very least if the kids put the effort in the crowd will get behind them.

I honestly don't mind Pearson that much. He went a bit loopy last season but he's done a decent job wherever else he's been I think. Pulis would be horrible.

I don't think he's a bad manager, I just think he's a nasty piece of work. As shit as we are, I expect us to be better than employing  a walking timebomb as manager. Let's not forget he told his own fans to fuck off and die, a number of press bust ups including calling a reporter a prick, grabbing an opposition player by the neck.

It's a firm no from me to that scumbag.
Yeah and Remi's a gentleman and look where that's got us. We'd be lucky to find a manager better qualified than Pearson to take us back up.

I suppose you'd have Adam Johnson in the team as well.

The best this team can do is desperately hold on to a goalless first half with two centre forwards playing halfway inside our own half before capitulating as soon as the inevitable happens. They really are the most pathetic collections of has-beens, incompetents and lazy arses I have ever seen.

Special mention to a few though. Richards for surely being responsible for more goals conceded in a season than any other player in history. Gabby for strolling around the same 20 yards of space, making no attempt to support our attack when we broke (as exemplified by Hutton's burst in the first half, which could have led to a chance if Gabby had broken with him). And then Westwood, who at times in his time at Villa has taken disproportionate amounts of stick but put in one of the most pathetic performances I have seen from any player in my time as a fan. He needs to be taken out, he has no confidence left.

You know the team is shit when Hutton looks like the best player every week. The 'upturn' in form over the winter was down to Ayew, Gana, Veretout, Lescott and Okore improving. They have all reverted to shit now as well. Just a woeful, cowardly and incompetent bunch of no-marks who are exactly where they deserve to be.

We need to get rid of the following before we ever think about winning:

Guzan
Hutton
Richards, unless he agrees to be coached into becoming a proper right back
Westwood
Bacuna
Gabby
Clark

I'd also throw Baker in to the mix, as I do not want to see him in the Championship next year. He's rubbish,must because he makes foolish, blood and thunder tackles doesn't mean he's a good player.
The capitulation yesterday was appalling, as a Villa fan I was actually happy that we only lost by four which really is a damning indictment if what we've become.

An earlier post mentioned the only solution is a change of owner. It would help but first on the agenda has to be the clearing of the decks of those that are masquerading as footballers in the Villa squad.

We have to take relegation as an opportunity to start again and get it right so that we do not end up in this situation again. Quick fixes to satisfy impatience is not the way to go. A methodical rebuilding of a balanced squad is the only solution.

I would rather see us spending a bit less on transfers and use it to get rid of the wasters in the squad.

I don't think it's fair to describe Gabby in the same way as you'd describe normal people and their attributes and motivations.

I think that if you were somehow able to get into Gabby's head it would be like looking down the wrong end of a really big telescope. He is so dumb, he is only a conscious being in the sense that dogs or monkeys are.

not sure why we just cant sack a lot of those cruds "by mutual consent"

take the fourth goal for example, Cissokho fails to block cross, both Lescott and Richards pull out of attempting to block the cross, Hutton has no idea where Sterling is.

We have 10 players inside or on the edge of our box, City have three and walk the ball into the net.

For their third goal, four of our players are done by a simple flick over the top by Silva, not one tracks the run by Aguero. Lescott half heartedly comes across, Guzan beaten easily at his near post.

genuinely shameful efforts from players with Villa shirts on

<UToob clip>

Its a very interesting clip, but I am not quite sure what to make of it. One thing that struck me was how down to earth the City players seem to be despite all the money that is flying round. None of this walking past support staff as if they weren't there, which in truth is what I would have expected.

I have no hard reason for believing so, but I suspect that Richards and Lescott detest each other. We have scored something like 23 goals so far this season, compared to just 15 at the same stage last time out. Contrary to what seems sensible, we have yet to miss Benteke's goals. We are where we are because our ability to defend has well and truly gone down the shitter. 8 goals better than last season should mean a comfortable place well clear of the third from bottom we were last time out.

Having Richards play alongside Lescott has more likely as not cost us more than anything else this season.

That clip is hardly an indication of the players dedication to the game on either side. We are just a shit and have no team chemistry or spirit. That's why we lost.

Richards and Lescott-cant they be put down? Calamitous smegma clumps.

What did they do wrong?

How long have you got?

In this video, they seem far too happy. If I was doing such an appalling job at work and my company was tumbling to lower depths, I'd probably look a little bit more sheepish than they do. That pair look like they've just walked onto the balcony of a Tuscan villa after a stroll in a vineyard.

On the pitch? They've both been shit.

Off the pitch? They've been ****** on Twitter.

Do you honestly think they are ever going to feel the same as fans? And even then they are not allowed to smile or laugh? I hope you still laugh and smile despite us being bottom of the table because it's not THAT important compared to lots of things in life. And they were just being polite to someone they obviously knew. They would have been bigger wankers just ignoring that lady for example. There's lot of things to smash this lot for without having to manufacture content.

Like TV has said, they were both back at a club where they know people. Have a go at their performances on the pitch, not for acknowledging old friends and teammates.

That's fair enough.

I'm just longing for the back of them.

Agbonlahor was that rubbish yesterday, he tripped over my stuttering Internet stream at one point.

Nice one - not much Villa related can make me chuckle

I long for the day that Abgonlahor gets shown the door. He's a parasite.

This.

Yep - totally agree. Should have been shot of him in the 2013-14 close season.
