We're in such a mess, on and off the pitch, that it's almost been overlooked. Lose at Watford on Saturday and we'll have equalled the club record for consecutive league defeats. An absolute scandal that barely registers because of the other absolute scandals going on at the club. And Newcastle could seal the record the week after.
11 defeats in a row. Rotten from top to bottom.
-
I can't see us winning again this season unless we do something drastic with Eric 'Cock' Black's team selections.
-
I honestly can't see us getting another point ths season. We don't even get close to matching sides anymore.
As bad as the Barcodes are they'll have no problems against our lot.
-
I think the Lerner era has smashed just about every shitty record the club has ever had the misfortune to set.
What an appalling time to be a Villa fan.
-
This side deserves the record. Without doubt the worst Villa team I've seen.
-
I think we are all so broken by it that it seems par for the course. I too can't see us getting another point this season, every element of the team is pathetic now. Black seems determined the extinguish any flickering hope of a shock point with his embarrassing team selections.
Six consecutive home defeats equalled a record too didn't it?
-

I'd go one further and suggest that Arsenal may very well improve on the 8 goal humping that Chelsea dished out to us the other year.

Even worse than being the worst, they don't care that they are.

The fact that this isn't the worst of our current problems says it all. It's almost as if the games are a sideshow now

The games probably ARE a sideshow though now, incredible as that seems. The most important thing to the crord now is (quite rightly) just letting these tossers know what they're thinking, while developments off the pitch is currently way more important than on the pitch.
Our remaining games are barely relevant with this team.

Love it. Can't we have Eric Cock Black on the back of the Proud History A4 posters?
It goes on his CV at least as in part he's contributed to this.
-
Hopefully we can stop the run soon or it'll be difficult for us to break the record again next season. Still, I'm sure we'll give it a try.
-
Lose to Newcastle last home game & we'll have been beaten by every team in the league in a single season. Never happened before.

How VERY dare you! He's been in the game 35 years dontcha know.
-
I'd taken it as read that we are going to loose every remaining game, it appears the players and management are of the same frame of mind.

This team is attrocious and have 16 points, 16, 3 wins all season, numerous records broken and you still have people claiming the summer signings were Ok and half the team are good players.

Agreed. The signings were absolute shit. The proof is in the pudding.

Don't talk about Gabby like that.
-
Take Scott Sinclair as an example of the whole clubs apathy. He's considered to be doing Ok right now on the basis that he's not doing anything to piss anyone off or offend. He stands there for most of the game, slightly moving backwards or forwards, day dreaming about playing on his phone when he gets back in the dressing room. He's shit. He's been retired for around 4 years now. A nothing player, another packet of crisps floating around the pitch, one of those paper aeroplanes is more likely to create a goal than him but he's back in the team again, doing his nothing thing.
-
The worst ever team and squad in our club's history.
I'd be very happy if not one of them ever played for Aston Villa again.
And one Mr Rielly is still here?...........

On the bright side, if we can somehow avoid defeat against the fat crying stripey man-children, they will have been the only team to fail to beat us AND the only team to fail to beat that even worse Derby side (also the only side to lose to them).
-
Newcastle will win comfortably at Villa Park.
-
I was only a kid when we lost those 11 games back in 1963 but can remember it fairly well. Never in all my wildest nightmares did i dream i would ever witness i would ever see us beat it,which i expect us to do quite comfortably by the end of the season .
-
I would be absolutely amazed if we didn't lose the remaining three games.
My concern is this losing momentum may carry on into next season. Admitted, much could happen in the summer but I have no confidence in the club making the right decisions and I very much doubt talks about an imminent takeover.

It's more likely that nothing major will happen in the summer. There won't be a big influx and outflow of players. There wont be another complete reshaping of our terrible scouting system. There won't be significant additions to the board to get some know how in to running this circus and there wont be a manager of any note coming in with a strong enough personality to deal with this mother of all fuck ups. Lerner won't be able to sell the mess he's created and we will continue stumbling along like a piss head version of a football club self harming without realising it.
Sounds really negative and it is, but to me it's much more likely than suddenly things changing 180 degrees out of the blue.

Dear Deidre,
Please help!! There are people on this site that are not being very complimentary to Mr Black. They obviously do not understand that he has 35 years of experience in football. I myself have many more years experience than Mr Black and think the teams he puts out are fantastic and so motivated, to the opposition that is!! How many managers do you know that are likely to lose every single game they have been in charge of and, yet, people on here just do not realise that this is an almost impossible feat to achieve and, Mr Black now only has another 3 matches to lose to attain this magnificent record. Also us same people are not listening to his other words of wisdom which, roughly translated, said, he has 35 years experience and so, every one else, the football commentators, sports press and us fans don't know anything about picking a team so should leave it to him as he's the expert!!
Please Deidre, put us wank..s right regarding what a truly marvellous person Mr Black is when picking his team!!
Disgusted with our fans from Halesowen!!
-
I think we'll lose all three. Some of the players seem to be engaged in a competition to see how badly they can play and still get picked.
-
Like most, I think we'll be looking at 13 consecutive defeats by the season end.
I just hope the run stops rather quickly come August....
-
Part of me hopes we lose the next two games just so this barrel of pricks gets the record. Not sure which Villa team holds it at present, but I'm sure they put more effort in than these jokers. They don't deserve not to go down in the record books.
-
I was furious when we lost out to Bradford and Doncaster so atrociously, little did I know that these were the glory days compared to this.

Yes. Total crap under 4 different managers. It's not rocket science.
-
I take it that you do not believe that those four managers had any detrimental effect on the players. Just asking.

This is what I have:

Our current away run is just a meagre 5 on the bounce.
-
Go on lads! You can do it!
-
There's loads of history we can make. Did you know, for instance, that we've never been knocked out of the League Cup in the First Round? We've also never lost to Burton Albion or Brentford.
Anything is possible with this team though. What a time to be alive.
-
Lose to Newcastle last home game & we'll have been beaten by every team in the league in a single season. Never happened before.
Coincidentally, four of the 11 points amassed by the wretched Derby side of a few years ago were at Newcastle's expense and I sincerely hope we do the same.
-
I can't remember how long we've been bottom of the table. It seems like a very long time. It must be one of the longest times in our history when our league position hasn't changed. And it's not going to this season either.
-
Sit back, enjoy it and look toward to the long, lazy days of summer and the pre-season games ...
-
For all the talk of takeovers and managers I still can't see land on the horizon. Best just stay in the life dingy and hope then.
