Vauxhall Conferencetastic (or whatever that League is called)
Slaughter.....the....to ...lambs
-
I'm not sure what is a good side anymore, but no Gabby or Richards is a positive start.
subs: Richards, Clark, Bacuna, Sinclair, Green, Bunn, Lyden.

Fair play in dropping richards and hope to never seeing gabby by again
Sitting in a bar in spain waiting for game to start surrounded by unhappy gooners lol

hopefully they will find a ray of sunshine if we can beat Spurs for them
-
No Gabby, Richards and Bacuna. Looks like the best line up we could hope for.
Not sayings it's a good one but happy to drop the naughty trio.
-
Might as well just assume the position now, this is going to be another shit 90 minutes.
-
Doesn't matter who he picks nowadays. Another loss either way.
-

Just need Sanchez in for Westwood and we'd be pretty much at full strength. Saying that, not sure about Gestede as we provide such little service to our strikers and apart from his heading ability he offers nothing else to the team. Right now I'm just happy Richards is out the side.
-
Didn't even realize Bacuna wasn't in there. I have similar thoughts when he's playing.

Stick Amavi in there and a focused Traore and Grealish and you suddenly have options. I know he's injured now but what a waste Grealish has been, and a shame.
-
Did not know Grealish was injured.
-
Don't embarrass us too much Villa.
-
Did not know Grealish was injured.
Ankle injury apparently.
-
Probably our best side (injuries anndd Westwood aside)
-
Would've liked to have seen Sinclair given a run, how gash must he be in training not to get a start in this side though!
-
So will Gabby have another injury to explain his complete absence or will they be honest and say he is a bit poo?
-
I think he is having bouts of vertigo.
-
Good to see two poisonous fat wasters dropped.
Hopefully we won't lose by more than four.
-
Fuck the fuckers!*
*Migrant Richarse, Flabby OneGoalaYear and Letyourmango Bacauna.
-
I naively assumed that a 4pm Sunday kick-off meant Sky were showing it.
What the fuck are they playing at with this kick-off time? TV can't be blamed for once.
-
Even if Grealish was fully fir I think it is clear Garde just doesn't fancy him.
I don't see the point of playing Gestede with no width in the side. Long hoof balls from defence are easy to defend and he doesn't play well with his back to goal. He needs to be attacking crosses, where he is a handful.
-
Even if Grealish was fully fir I think it is clear Garde just doesn't fancy him.
He certainly doesn't seem to pine for him.

He clearly larches around too much.

You need to spruce up your puns Bad.
-
Was that a foul on TV?
-
Spurs hit bar.
-

This according to Physioroom
Gabriel Agbonlahor injury - Fat & Lazy - All Season
-
Terrible start that.
-
Was that a foul on TV?
nah, I'm ok.
-
Oakay, I make one jet lagged typo from Acasia and now we have a punathon ( insert your own deadwood comments here)
-
A matter of time....
-
Christ they are ripping us apart
-
Christ they are ripping us apart
You sound surprised. The only surprise is we're not losing yet.
-
It's a surprise to me that the PL allows us to play in games anymore. Just mail in the 3 points to whoever it is we are supposed to play and be done with it. We don't even try to close teams down, tackle let alone attack until they score. And then we aimlessly knock it around in the middle third, not hurting anyone, lose the ball and concede again on the break.
-
Christ they are ripping us apart
Watching it and its not quite that bad although they are very dangerous on the break
-
We seem to have the perfect storm. We created a team who's indivduals can hide and make themselves look good in part whilst playing for other clubs, now we bring them all together. Looks like some kind of scientific experiment.
-
At least most of them look like they give a f##k this week.
But then not having Richards and Gabby wasting 2 shirts must give the rest of them a bit of a lift.
-
Doing ok last 5 mins
-
Anti Lerner songs are up and running...
-
Doing ok last 5 mins
Isn't this the Villa way though? A little hope opens the legs, leaving sufficient access before a boot comes flying in?
-
Doesn't seem to be on any TV streams.
-
Good save Bradley
-
It does at least look like we have a plan to get crosses in to Just-Head, if only he wasn't such a fucking donkey it might work.
-
Saved by Guzan.
-
Doesn't seem to be on any TV streams.
Plenty out there in the usual places.
-
It does at least look like we have a plan to get crosses in to Just-Head, if only he wasn't such a fucking donkey it might work.
It's actually got to land on his head though, anywhere else and he's fucked
-
Worryingly Jores and Lescott go after the same man leaving Kane all on his lonesome. Good save, Brad.
-
Another good save.
-
in a few moments at both ends you saw exactly why we miss Amavi. Providing crosses like Rose to Kane. Providing better service than Cissokho just did into the box.
-
How did that not go in?
-
They hit the post, this is a matter of time
-
We're riding our luck.
-
It's the Brad Guzan show so far
-
Gana has all the energy in the world, just zero quality when it matters.
-
Guzan's kept us in it so far.
-
Is Cissokho capable of making a challenge?
-
Is Cissokho capable of making a challenge?
Or a decent cross
-
Guzan's kept us in it so far.
Did I read that correctly?
-
Is Cissokho capable of making a challenge?

When you watch him you just wonder how he got through all of those trials and levels to not just become a professional footballer, but con all those clubs into spending serious money to sign him.
-
Shit ball Veretout !
-
SGT sounding very, very old on the radio.
-
SGT sounding very, very old on the radio.
AVFC looking very shite on the internet stream.
-
"Oh no, we might lose Westwood," said no Villa fan, ever.
-
...and there it is.
-
Aaaaannnnddd there it is. Kane
-
Nuts
-
Fucks sake right on half time, game over. Hutton's fault again.
-
Dozy fucking twats
-
And the winner of these week's how-will-we-concede-a-daft-goal-to-throw-a-game-away raffle is 'switching off from a simple free kick'.
-
Sigh, shrug shoulders. Just inevitable.
-
Enough already....To bed .
-
I hate this team
-
Guzan's kept us in it so far.
Did I read that correctly?
No
-
Fucks sake right on half time, game over. Hutton's fault again.
Hutton's fault - how do you work that one out?
-
He wasn't tracking.
-
I thought you was supposed to take a free kick from where a foul is committed, not quickly from 5 yards away.
-
He wasn't tracking.
And Jores was where?
-
Watch the floodgates open now
-
lol.
-
I may be flamed for this, but giving away that goal pained me much more from me wanting Leicester to win the league than from my perspective as a Villa supporter.
-
It has be maddening for Garde having to manage this lot.
-
I feel sorry for the fans who go home and away. I used to be one of em. the lengths we used to go to, getting time off for midweek away games and having hardly any sleep when we got home because of early starts at work.
The number of half of half day holidays booked to get to Birmingham City centre to get on Goughy's coaches. How do they manage it now with the end goal of loosing but just how many goals will we loose by?
-
Fucks sake right on half time, game over. Hutton's fault again.
Hutton's fault - how do you work that one out?
The entire backline switched off. A perfect example of how horrendous they've been all season, and how shite the management team has been, because we persistently fail to sort these basic things out.
-
And that kids is why you don't move away from a free kick until your team is ready.
Lescott moved away when he saw the ball being placed down, he should have stood on top of the ball to stop the free kick being taken so quickly
-
Just like to say how proud I am of the lads holding on at home for 44 minutes before conceding. #fightlikelionpussys
-
It's terrible when you sit here and wait .....wait for opposition to score and sonnet or later they do! Never ending nightmare
-
It has be maddening for Garde having to manage this lot.
I've lost all sympathy for him. He's as hopeless as the playing squad and he's all but given in to boot.
-
I may be flamed for this, but giving away that goal pained me much more from me wanting Leicester to win the league than from my perspective as a Villa supporter.
I'm afraid it's the same here. You can't kill a dog twice. But I'll say one thing, Villa have done me a favour this season. I no longer give a fuck when we lose. My day won't be any worse for this.
-
And that kids is why you don't move away from a free kick until your team is ready.
Lescott moved away when he saw the ball being placed down, he should have stood on top of the ball to stop the free kick being taken so quickly
It's basics. That's the worst part. You could teach an under 9's side to do that, but no fucker seems to be able to teach the Aston Villa first team squad.

And really, should a 33 year old former England international with 500+ senior appearances need to be taught that?
-
Crap
-
Let's have a few shots at goal. Its something to do.
-
Fuck me. Pathetic twats.
-
Fucks sake
-
In fact it's almost funny. Why don't I bet on this every week?
-
quite good for 2 minutes, then they score
-
An absolute disgrace

His 600th league appearance today. 'Appearance' being the operative word...
-
Comedic, just awful.
-
What a shower of shite
-
Didn't know Gill was on the pitch.
-
There is not a single player on the pitch today that I ever want to see gracing our shirt again. If we start next season with the U21s and the kids I'll be happier than watching these turds continue to humiliate us.
-
We really are fucking useless.
-
Zzzzzzz
-
What a shower of shite
We're not that good
-
I hate this team, and I hate what's happened to our club. It feels like sabotage.
-
Another home thrashing now beckons.
-
This team and set up will see us in div 2.
-
I think everybody will be out the door on 74 regardless
-
It's just not even remotely worth getting our hopes up, it is the same thing week in week out.
-

Never mind next season I don't want to see them in a Villa shirt ever again
-
The only slight positive is that relegation has been certain for so long when it mathematically is confirmed it won't result in a massive outpouring of grief.
-
I think once we're mathematically doomed, Garde will start playing the kids. Most of the seniors are an absolute disgrace.
-
How many pages did a match thread used to have?
Be interesting to compare the amount for this game ane one 5 years ago.
-
Rinsed and repeat.
-
Garde must be wondering what on earth possessed him to join us.
-
I think once we're mathematically doomed, Garde will start playing the kids. Most of the seniors are an absolute disgrace.
True, but I think Garde has played his part in this mess as well. He's contributed absolutely nothing to the cause, and his "I'm not getting much out of them in training" thing the other week was absolutely amateurish.
What a sorry mess this club has been turned into, but let's not forget it's been nearly 6 years in the making.
-
Are they planning to walk out on 74 again?
-
Garde must be wondering what on earth possessed him to join us.
I'm wondering why we appointed him.
-
Stewards taking 'Lerner Out' banners down.
-
Never heard of Andre Green.
-
Are they planning to walk out on 74 again?
I decided not to walk in
-
Positivity re Brian Little doesn't replace the negativity on the pitch from the worst group of Villa players I've seen in 46 years of supporting Villa. Ross County have just won their first ever trophy and the pride, passion, determination, effort, joy and sheer hard work in their play would put all of our overpaid t-ats to shame!!!
-
Are they planning to walk out on 74 again?
The players have already it seems.
-
Garde must be wondering what on earth possessed him to join us.
I'm wondering why we appointed him.
Indeed.
-
Never heard of Andre Green.
At a guess I'd say he's one of the two guys from Oukast.
-

I decided not to walk in
I decided against it too. Had half an excuse to not go and took it.

For me it all started to go wrong during the latter days of Martin O'Neil. Having successfully f**ked off our better young players and replaced them with over-payed non-entities he completely dissilussioned Lerner when he threw his toys out the pram, quit and then won an indudtrial tribunal against the club. Nothing has been right with the owner and, hence the club, since then.
-

Indeed.
Yep, going through the motions and clearly doesn't give a fuck
-
That cross from Hutton was even funny.
-
what I absolutely hate most about all of this is that we will go down without a fight. It won't even be close in the end between us and the 19th place team let alone whoever finishes 17th. That is a disgrace whichever way you look at it.
-

He's good on FIFA, which is what I thought our transfer policy was based on so I'm surprised he hasn't played before.
-
Good luck to Andre. To be honest he's the only reason I bothered watching the game. In the hope he'd come on. The result thus far was fully expected of course.
-
Garde must be wondering what on earth possessed him to join us.
I'm wondering why we appointed him.
Indeed.
Same here. Dismal excuse for a manager.
-

Very true. The club threw the towel in in January. Utterly, outrageously disgusting.
-

Agreed

Whythe fuck are stewards being used as an ersatz SA outfit to get rid of dissenting banners? Disgrace

Agreed
No manager can ever be excused for the results he's been having. Not at this level. We're not San Ma-fucking-rino, even if we do play like it sometimes.

This has to be one of the worst teams ever to come out of the West Midlands. For all the multitude of Albion, Small Heath relegations over the decades I can't remember anyone quite as bad as this team, and I never thought I'd ever hear myself say that about Aston Villa. It's truly shocking.
-
At a hotel in Heathrow, flying the furthest I have ever flown in my life tomorrow. It's still not far enough away from these clowns.
-
Garde seems to be of the 'says a lot of good things but does fuck all' ilk. I won't be sorry to see the back of him even though he was shafted.
-
The usual then. Fucking hell I used to hate the ManU game because of this feeling of inveitable loss, now its EVERY game.

He doesn't even say good things any more. Everything seems like a defeated sigh now. In some regards you can't blame him, but he's failed dismally to get these players playing for him. I think he should be gone by monday morning.
-
Garde is not a winner. Bye bye.

He's played his part alright but the man truly responsible for this debacle is our disgraceful owner.

David Moyes was the man for the job and we bottled it.

Give me overpaid nonentities any day of the week. I'd settle for 6th from bottom never mind 6th

This. That fateful evening in August of 2010 set into motion this downward spiral that now looks to have left the club at its lowest ebb in a quarter of a century.

Me too.

beating Spurs was always going to be tough. It's just the manner in which we go about giving these games away. Not just today but pretty much all season.

Every manager in the professional game has to deal with what they are given and every single one of them has to get results to keep their jobs. There's of course no debating who is the major reason we're in this mess, that rests on Randy, but Remi has run out of excuses now and he's clearly not the man who is going to take this club forward. Too many bridges have been burned. I don't even see the point him going through the motions until the end of the season.
-

The organisers called it off apparently, but it's back on for the Chelsea game. Piss ups and breweries spring to mind.

I agree, his position is now untenable. But it was made so by the board.
There's working with what you've got, and there's being misled, lied to and betrayed by a club that has completely given up.
-

From what I heard at the Trust AGM was that we spoke to him and Moyes asked for things the club weren't willing to give him.

Indeed. He's definitely not whiter than white. Highlight was shipping out Gary Cahill and replacing him with Zat Knight?! Then there are players like Salifou, Sidwell, Curtis Davies, and the ultimate.... Habib Beye!

Bad miss by Gestede.

Hearing the new Lerner Out song at VP, it almost brings tears to my eyes. It's like the final cry of a mortally wounded animal. so, so, sad.

There's of course no debating who is the major reason we're in this mess, that rests on Randy, but Remi has run out of excuses now and he's clearly not the man who is going to take this club forward. Too many bridges have been burned. I don't even see the point him going through the motions until the end of the season.
I agree, his position is now untenable. But it was made so by the board.
There's working with what you've got, and there's being misled, lied to and betrayed by a club that has completely given up.
Not that I'm trying to excuse the club but signing anyone in January was always going to be an uphill task anyway. We lost out on several players who went elsewhere and we were refused a permit for that Keeper. We did try. Not that hard I grant you, but even so, Garde has to suck it up and get on with it. Sometimes a manager goes beyond the point of redemption at a club. MaClaren's position at Newcastle was untenable, even having spent a shite load on players.
Garde doesn't command his squad. He hasn't got control. No matter what you're given to deal with, if you can't get your players performing in unison, or even identify a system you feel will make the best of your situation, then you're failing.

Sinclair reminds everybody just how pointless he is.
-
Gestede you terrible donkey.
-
Garde is not a winner. Bye bye.
David Moyes was the man for the job and we bottled it.
Must save money to pay the wage for Fox-Twat...
We spoke to him. He turned us down.
From what I heard at the Trust AGM was that we spoke to him and Moyes asked for things the club weren't willing to give him.
Such as being given the chance to add to the squad to keep us up?

OH FOR FUCKS SAKE JOLEON LESCOTT

Andre Green gets my vote for player of the season.

Give him a chance! It was a massive 3 yards out!
He's a Donkey

We've just missed too good chances. The technical ability just isn't there.

You know what, that's actually an idea.

WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY DOES WESTWOOD STILL GET IN THE SIDE!!!????
Why???
-
0-2 would almost be like a victory.
-
from what I've seen the main difference between the teams has been that they've made Guzan work when they've had chances (and taken a couple) we just can't hit the target.

To be fair to the lad, that was the best corner that anyone's delivered since Cashley Young bastarded off to Utd.

On a wider point, I'd love to vote player of the season to someone who's not stepped on the pitch this year, for a laugh.

This has to be the last straw - I demand another boardroom appointment
-
With a striker or 2 we'd be at 2-2 now.
-
Garde sat their motionless. What a gutless plonker.
-
I'll say this again, sooner or later it's going to kick off at Villa. Things might have been better channelled into a peaceful, organised protest.

Pathetic.

I'm in too.

Spurs manager should be sacked for resting players midweek. Why?

Put Sir Brian in charge for the last games. Don't worry about results. We're down. Garde is gone in May anyway, he might as well go now. Play some kids. Results actually can't get any worse anyway, so we might as well.
-
It says a lot about previous perfomances, but the work and effort put in today was a marked improvement. However, still not anywhere near what an Aston Villa team should be delivering.
-
I wouldn't want Sir Brian's reputation soiled by this shower of shite.
-
Why did I keep Agüero as my Fantasy captain, and not put Kane in with the Triple Captain option?
-
It takes some special kind of skill to hit the woodwork from only a couple of yards.
-
Gana again very good but he just surrounded by shit , Veretout , Westwood and Gil alongside him all tidy enough but no strength and no pace.
We are so physically lightweight and not just this season its been like this for a while.
Gestede is a donkey , he really offers so very little no one can get round him as he can't hold the ball up and he can't run in behind.High balls into box he might be a little effective but really he is not up to this level.
-

I don't think it would be soiled. We'd just give him 8 games with a free pass. Then come the summer he and the board can get together and work to identify a manager who could actually pull us together. Garde clearly wants out. It just seems pointless him staying and half the squad clearly won't lift a finger for him.

Agreed. It doesn't help having a donkey up front playing alongside a spoiled schoolboy. The less said about Sinclair the better. At least Green showed great promise.
Overall a hard working performance from all but against the quality of Walker and Kane, we were never going to get anything today.
-
The effort was there, the quality as ever, was not.
-
If there's one thing worse than being bed-bound with a slipped disc, it's watching this shite while doing it.
I suggest you take Tramadol and Diazepam to manage the pain.
As for the slipped disc..........
