Saturday 9.4.16 3pm KO at the Factory of Absolute Shiteness
Just like the vast majority of our first team squad, I don't know why I'm bothering.
0-2.
Championship here we come.
-
Excellent opportunity to test ourselves against a team with championship players.
-
It's Hammer time.
-
I think we should take time to applaud the team. Not many would have predicted that we would get to nearly mid-April before finally succumbing to relegation. Well done everyone involved and bloody good attempt. VTID.
-
Getting relegated at home to Bournemouth. It would be a kindness at this point.
-
A point, prolonging the agony for another week as Naarich lose
-
After Saturday's fun and games, I'm 50/50 about hacking it down the M6 again. Wallpaper stripping in my Dining Room is looking like the better option currently.
-
I never WANT us to lose.
But, in this case I really don't want to prolong the agony.
We have accepted so much shit over the last few years. I accepted we would go down back in January.
So, I am more than prepared to lose on Saturday and put an end to this bloody charade of looking like a premier league team.
Routine 2-0 loss - Norwich to win.
Appoint the new manager on Mondayand the rebuild can start.
-
Chance to do the double over them. We'll lose 0-3 and Westwood will play a lot of square balls.
-
Agreed. While never wanting to lose I kind of want us to go down next weekend.
a) No point prolonging the inevitable
b) Bournemouth away support will be more bearable than Man Utd's home support.
c) I kind of want a big blow off to let these players no exactly what I think. I am not someone who boo's Villa players, although this season I've no issue with people who do. I feel like Saturday will turn nasty and I think we might need that in order to just let the last two home games be almost enjoyable... particularly if Newcastle are in big trouble when they turn up.
-
I'm torn on this one - if Black picks a team similar to the one on Saturday then we'll lose comfortably and be relegated before The Grand National starts as all Bournemouth need to do is score first and we crumble
However, if he shows some balls/brains and drops some of the shit like Guzan, Lescott, Sanchez, Westwood and Gil and plays Bunn, Clark, Okore, Lyden, Grealish and Traore then I think we can win this one
Hutton being suspended is a mixed blessing in that it unfortunately necessitates one of Bacuna and/or Richards filling in at right back but at least means we are spared his comedy defending
On the plus side there's only another 7.5 hours of this rubbish to watch after next Saturday...
-
In a very weird way i am really looking forward to going Saturday.
Agree with other posters that i never want us to lose, but i don't want this to carry on anymore. Just want it all to be official and done and dusted.
What i am intrigued about is what kind of reception our 'players' will get come the final whistle!? I think the majority are just numb to all this now and it will just be mooted boo's and renditions of "You're now fit to wear the shirt"
Roll on the rebuild and planning of trips to Rotherham on a friday night :-(
-
I'm glad it's not on the telly.

I don't know... think if we are relegated on Saturday, it could get very very nasty. That said, the main culprits will be down the tunnel before you can blink.
-
I'm taking my 8-month old son to his first game on Saturday. If nothing else I'll be doing a good job of managing his expectations.
-
I mentioned on another thread, but I'm using this one to take my 8 month old son to his first game! If nothing else, I'm setting the bar fairly low for the rest of his Villa-supporting life, but I am starting to feel a bit guilty about it now!
-
I think it might have been on your previous post!
-
Whoops...!
-
We WILL lose, our players have given up and so have I, Let's put the final nail in the coffin and then beat newcastle 9-0
-

Really? Are you mad?
-
He's playing in goal.
-
He's playing in goal.
Hmm we might win
-
This will be one of my infrequent visits to Villa Park and in a strange way I'd like relegation to be confirmed. The alternative, i.e. a draw or a win, would be dreamland by this season's standards. Knowing our luck we'll get hammered and so will Norwich.
-
Routine humiliation.
-
I'm going for a glorious draw, Perhaps a 1-1
-
The only side we can do the double over. We won't lose and Bournemouth will have the humiliation of not beating us this season. Southampton and Newcastle are the only other clubs that could have that dubious honour. If we count league games only as we lost to Saints in the cup.
-
If we are to get anything out of this game then we need to change everything, starting with our entrance music. It's embarrassing. We play music that invokes an image of God's entering an arena and then we get Billy Smart's Circus.
We should play something more appropriate like the Steptoe and Son or Laurel and Hardy theme tunes. We could all point and laugh instead of applauding. Shame them. Publicly humiliate them. They may just respond.
2-0 Win.
-
I think we will do a goal but only once 0-2 down and in the 83rd minute.
-
We can't compete with the likes of Bournemouth. And this time it's not a joke.
-
Coming down with my son as a delayed birthday 'treat' for him. It will be the third visit this season, all under different managers and I always enjoy a trip to Villa Park with him but for the first time ever I'm looking forward to letting the likes of Richards, Lescott and in particular the gormless one (if he's selected) know what we think of them. Whilst I'd like to see Grealish, Traore and some of these mythical youngsters given a game I think those who have got us in this mess should be held up for public ridicule until relegation is confirmed.
Just hope the place that does churros and chocolate at the railway station haven't run out this time.
-
I suspect that a fat lass will be in full voice by the end of the game...it may also be Gabby in a dress - my eyesight is not what it used to be.

I leave the match when the opposition score their third goal without reply, I'd like to see the end of this game for once.
The Impossible Dream.

Where in the ground are you sitting Chris ?

Family stand.
-
2-1 Bournemouth.
-
Agree with the previous posts, please let us be relegated and get it out of the way. We can concentrate on giving these wasters what they deserve. Once we are officially down we may get the new manager in, so that he can start the rebuilding process before the end of the season
-
Pretty exciting to be posting in a thread with "Final" in it.
-
Draw. Stay of exercution.
-
I want us to win, we're relegated any way, doesn't really matter when it's mathematically confirmed we may as well 'enjoy' another win or two. Plus, I never want Villa to lose.
-
If we don't drop any defensive bollocks then I reckon we could get a win..listen to me...if we don't drop any defensive bollocks ! 1-3 it is then.
-

I'm confused. :o
-

It won't be if Norwich win will it?
Anyway, it will be quite ironic if Saturday is the game that relegates seeing as after our win there on the first day of the season many were tipping Bournemouth to go down and said they couldn't see where they were going to get wins from.
-
2-1 villa.
-
Watched by 48 000 Or whatever the capacity is nowadays? Anyone know what the capac, nah don't worry.
-
42k
-
Don't laugh, but I've got a good feeling about this one...we've beaten them once already this season and we surely can't go down having not done the double over any team?
Villa 1 Cherries 3
-
I'd love to know what these managers get paid to do. Drop the lads that don't want to play and play the lads that do. Simples. We might get something from this game then. Villa are 5/2, at home, and depending on what the starting 11 looks like,I might have some of that.
-
I'm sorry but this lot couldn't beat an egg at the moment. A comfortable 0-2 defeat.
-

We'll probably get beat 4-0 again though.

This is the match I have selected to take a couple of youngsters to their first at Villa Park outing as part of tickets for schools initiative. Do you think it's a good idea?

No. It could be construed as child cruelty
-
I don't think we'll be relegated on Saturday, I think that will come the following week at Old Trafford.
2-1 home win, met with much apathy.
-

If it's their first match there is a good chance they will be Bournemouth fans by 5.00pm on Saturday.

All out attack fuck it
Guzan
Bacuna Okore Lescott Cissoko
Gana Westwood
Traore Grealish Ayew
Gestede
-
Nah. Destined to lose all remaining matches maybe with the exception of Newcastle when we might get a point.
0-2
-
0-2 defeat and finally some relief as relegation is confirmed as we turn our optimisim toward August 2016 with a new Board, new manager, new league, new away grounds to go to, new signings, new teams to watch at VP, a new kit and new hope of a successful season.

I'd go for the closing 'Benny Hill' tune. Guzan can lead them out in double time and they can all slap him on the head.

Does anyone know how to start a poll? A petition could also be handed into the club requesting our new "theme tune" to be played as chosen by the masses.

It needs to be something we can all boo along to

The theme from The Dam Busters can be booed along to quite easily.

Booooooooooooo there he is, boooooooooooooooo there he is, boooooooooooooo there he is. Booooooooo there he is.

If we do the double over Bournemouth then they need to take a long hard look a themselves. We won't of course.
1-2, hopefully Norwhich get what they need and it can finally be confirmed.
-

Yes, it's a form of character building.
-
I think we will find out after this game which players want to play for the mighty Villa and which don't. I want Jack to flourish but I'd also love to fear in the eyes of some of our other 1st teamers.
Yes Saturday will be the day we see who is with us and who isn't

B-Muff 2-0 & a less than warm welcome to relegated status to those still left at the end. Bag o' shite.

3-0 down with 10 minutes remaining and Black sends Agbonlahor on to a level of abuse never heard at Villa Park previously from the few that remain. In the 89th minute an attempted clearance at a corner hits his fat arse and loops over the keeper, he 'celebrates' by 'shushing' the Holte End and whips out his phone to take a selfie of himself looking angry and gormless with the hashtag #forthehaterz
He is immediately hailed as the man to build a new team around.
-
If memory serves me right, the last time we were relegated, it was confirmed after losing to man united
Think we will score Saturday, and not lose 1all for me, and then the big R will be confirmed the following week
After that our theme tune should be "the only way is up" can't remember the group who sang it. But I am getting on in years!!!

A goal for us?

Play Adama & Andre Green on the flanks, Gestede up front.

I don't think we'll be relegated on Saturday, I think that will come the following week at Old Trafford.
Me too. And then in a twist or irony, we'll appoint their former manager.
-
1-0 we're Aston Villa innit.
-
Not so long ago we could compete with teams like AFC Bournemouth.
-
We'll lose on Saturday. Will it be 0-1? Or maybe 0-4? To be fair the margin won't matter. Even if Norwich don't pick up a point at Palace to condemn us there and then, we'll run out of games the week after at Man. United where, ironically, I don't think we've won since a current villain of the piece (Agbonlahor) scored the only goal with a header back in, was it 2009?
-
Play Adama & Andre Green on the flanks, Gestede up front.
There is something to be said for playing all of the dross that us put in this position in the first place. Especially at home. Let those fuckers face the music.
Keep the youngsters out until after its all confirmed, then 'give them their heads' as we used to say.
Guzan
Okore, Richards, Lescott, Richardson
Bacuna, Westwood, Gana, vertoute
Agbonlahor, Sinclair
It's not entirely fair on okore, Gana or vertoute, but there are no other tossers to put in, and they have been pretty shit on the whole anyway.

This. I'd even have N'Zogbia in the 18 just so he can cop it when (pretending to be) warming up on the touchline
-
AND, I'd make Bacuna captain!
-
45% think we'll get something, I'm not convinced, Bournemouth are a competent side and knock the ball around really well under Howe.

Practice for when he takes over from Iniesta next season

Guzan
Bacuna

They're busy supporting Man Utd & Chelski

I'd have Vertoute as captain until the end of the season. He works his balls off, shows pride in wearing the shirt and it would be a beautiful two finger salute to our pathetic twat of a captain.

Family stand.
I'm there too with my 6 &17 year old!
-
I dont know whether i'm fortunate or unfortunate to miss this one, i hope we don't lose and lose our place this week as i'm absent.
I'm down in London at O2 Arena for Joshua fight, particularly hope i'm not doubly disappointed.
So Villa and Joshua to win.

To be honest, I thought Veretout's effort levels against Swansea were pathetic and wasn't surprised to see him dropped to the bench for the Chelsea game. Shame because I think he is a talented player.
-
A Draw imo.
And 0-0.
We can't score, but under the ex-bluenose-Black, we can be stubborner.
Like Bruce.
We'll get tighter in defence.
But not score....unless Westwood puts in a curler from his corner.
Yeah!
I think my brain is turning to liquid :(
-
I expect Black to pick more or less the pathetic lot who took to the field against Chelsea .So i can not see anything other than the routine defeat .2-0 to the Cherries
-
It's been death by a thousand cuts over 4 years now.
I just hope the fatal one comes quickly.

0-0 is actually possible if we put up any sort of positive effect. I see Bournemouth dropping off the pace the last month of the season, and their passig style does lead to a defenisve approach from them sometimes. There's a lot of IF's of course, but guess I'm just hopeing for a positive performance and result ;)

I'll be there with my granddaughter with the tickets for schools scheme. This will be here 5th game and she has yet to celebrate a goal, never mind a win. She looks forward to her half time hot chocolate more than the game itself.

Great, says it all about Villa this season when your granddaughter's highlight at B6 is a cup of chocolate. Perhaps this time she'll see a Villa goal and a drawn game.

Can't see why anyone would cry it's not like we haven't had months to get prepared for it.
-
It may be a sign of madness, but I'm really looking forward to the football tomorrow.
Maybe it is because the pressure is off in a way and also I don't particularly dislike Bournemouth, even if their fans have an air of being daytrippers.
-
I have a feeling the atmosphere could turn a little poisonous

A little?

A big little

So our club captain has a 'virus' then?

I do hope it's nothing trivial.

I hope Grealish, Traore and Kozak all start this weekend. Nothing at all to lose. Okore needs to be recalled with Veretout.

Because you can't recall players on season loans.

An attacking quartet of Traore, Grealish, Green and Ayew. Gana and Sanchez to sit. Clark and Okore at centre half, Bunn in goal. Cissokho and Lyden at full back.

That's almost exciting. Why do people on here post without having the first idea of a press conference that happened 8 hours ago and the the steadfast rules of English football?

Well playing with a fractured ankle he will fit right in there with his team mates.

Nice day for you Bernie. I was hoping to road test my youngest grandson Dan in the Villa shirt in which I invested two days worth of the state retirement pension. Unfortunately his dad is covering the Grand National so the lad's debut is delayed.
This will be a good first game for the nippers. A win that will start a sequence of wins over the coming year. One for them to remember.
-
My son will be there with 7 year old Bea for her second match and 4 year old Ted for his first match. I am very happy to say that both my grandchildren will be wearing Villa garb purchased by their grandfather.
Really hope your Son and your grandchildren see a rare Villa win, Up the Villa.

Loving your optimism Brian!
Have a great day Bernie!

Just to let you all know I'm not feeling very well this morning so I'll be phoning in soon to say I won't be there today. I will probably be feeling a bit better tomorrow.
I think it's probably just a virus or something.

Don't think I am. This pretending to be poorly is quite hard work. Oh shit, rumbled!
Funniest thing about pretending to be ill was my brother giving it the full 'I'm really ill, I don't think I can go to school routine'. My mom later asked him if he could manage to eat anything. The reply of "I think I could manage egg and chips" still makes me laugh out loud today.

Woke up this morning with a hint of a sore ego so rang the club and said I may not attend today. They were very nice about it and said "oh don't worry we already have your season ticket money so take the next two matches off as well if you want". I thought that was a nice touch.

That story villabear reminds we of a visit we paid to an old family relation on the way to the Norwich away game. She had been on a coach trip to Yarmouth. When we asked if she enjoyed it she replied in the negative. I was feeling ill when we got there so I had egg and chips. They made me sick. We took our leave of her without having the courage to ask why she ate egg and chips if she was not feeling well.
It was that that sort of day, the Bacuna orchestrated surrender to Norwich effectively sealing our fate. The day had a surreal quality.

Well today may be the day. Hoping for some positive team selections. Somehow I can't see it happening though.
I live in hope....

I normally go through a futile routine of wearing 'lucky' clothing, earrings, watch etc. Today my selection was based on total comfort.

I would love Black to start the game with Green and Lyden, us fans need something to hang onto and playing our youth would give us a boost in these dark days, what the fuck have we got to lose.

EB to start the game, Steve? Sod it, why not?? At least it might provide some comedy value (in addition to our defending, obviously). :)
-
Pick Adama and give the crowd something to cheer.
-
I have a feeling we'll win this...
-
I'm sick of this season and would prefer it to be finished today. Play the kids when the pressure is off.
-
Never thought I would say this but I hope we get beat badly, crowd amps it up against the players, and we never, ever, ever see the so called first 11 anywhere near VP ever again.
They are an excuse for a soccer team and an embarrassment to our history and tradition

Me too

Come ten to five, if results go as expected I hope it'll be the last time some of this sorry bunch are ever allowed to disgrace our club.
-
I think we'll win today. Prolonging the misery
-
To ensure the nail in our coffin Black has recalled Kieran Richardson. Fucking ace.
-
Not with Bacuna and Richardson in the team we won't
-
Has he been ordered to put us out of our misery? That midfield?
-
Black out.
What a wanker-what a shit team. Fuck off you dour ******.
Guzan, Bacuna, Lescott, Cissohko, Westwood, Richardson, Sinclair-FUCKING SHIT.
What is it with us having shit managers making shit team selections. Fuck them all.
