Oi, Loser! You're banned from starting Math Threads. ;)
-
Alan Hutton?! At least Elphick and 5 at the back have been abandoned.
-
Looks better, but if it is 4-4-2 strange it's not Greene. Maybe 4-3-1-2
-
I think we'll go Four Four Bloody Two.
-
4-4-2 at last
-
Attacking line up, key is the two central lads working their bollocks off. Still think grealish is wasted wide but much better than the abomination of 3 5 2 or 5 3 2
-
Splitting up those 3 new midfielders is the right move IMO. I would've dropped Thor as well. I think he'll work out a good signing in the end though.
And the absence of Elphick is always a positive.

We were so flat in attack on Saturday I can understand recalling Grealish.
-
I'll be avoiding this, so hope it gives us the impetus we need.
-
Subs?
-
Subs?
Bunn, Elphick, Bacuna, Davis, Gardner, Green and Bjarnason.
-
so he brings amavi back with 4 4 2
but does not play when he played with wingbacks
strange
-
That looks like such a decent, attacking side. Please Lord let us click tonight. Come on Villa.
-
Subs?
Bunn, Elphick, Bacuna, Davis, Gardner, Green and Bjarnason.
No one to change it on 73 when we're listless and the crowd begins to turn.
-
Midfield looks unbalanced to me.
-
Well we're certainly not defensive tonight. Hopefully.
-
Subs?
They're under the first 11 Mr Magoo.
-
so he brings amavi back with 4 4 2
but does not play when he played with wingbacks
strange
Or Taylor is injured so has to play him.
-
That line up looks more like it. Although I'm nervous about typing that as it doesn't always read in real life as it does on paper.
Sad to see Hutton getting a start. Surely Bacuna is no worse.
Attack attack attack attack attack attack attack!
-
I like it. It's 4-4-2 and the two lads in the midfield have the engine to get up and down. Get the ball wide have them also attack the area. Tonight is where it comes together as long as Hutton doesn't balls things up.
-
Pity Bree is out.
5-3-2 abandoned.
Kodija to be his usual selfish dick self will come off for Greene.
Jack fades, Taylor in for him and Amavi pushes forward ?
-
Hutton and Adomah, the weak links on the right.
-
Those very naughty chaps on Facebook look like they'll have their phones with them tonight.
-
I suggest we don't try to use Hutton as our main outlet.
-
Hope the middle of the park doesn't get over run. Glad to see Jack back, Hutton...ffs. If we don't score in the first 25 minutes, we wont win. UTV
-
Those very naughty chaps on Facebook look like they'll have their phones with them tonight.
I assume you're talking about Facebook Live. The club will work out who they are and ban them and probably fine them.
-
I think the win will finally arrive tonight. 3-0, a couple of goals from Hogan and a screamer from Grealish. Come on, Villa, make it happen!
-
Well it's a bit more positive. Time for Jack to step up to the plate tonight. I feel a bit more optimistic now.
-
I would suggest that midfield looks a bit lightweight, but what do I know?
FTF!
-
Anyone going live with radio link for us expats?
-
If we dont win tonight,at home, with that line up, I can safely say we are fucking rubbish and in a right royal relegation dogfight.
-
4-3-3 Kodjia on the left. Fuck it, who cares! Just win!
-
Will periscope have the game?
-
Need Jedinak back in that midfield. Difference will be massive when he's fit.
-
Those very naughty chaps on Facebook look like they'll have their phones with them tonight.
I assume you're talking about Facebook Live. The club will work out who they are and ban them and probably fine them.
Piss easy to work out where he sits. In fact, I was that bored on Saturday, I worked it out!
-
Please just FTF.
-
Those very naughty chaps on Facebook look like they'll have their phones with them tonight.
Bet they are the sort to go to a gig and watch the entire gig on their phone. More than likely Coldplay or Adele.
Saw a lad at Harrogate Town this season film the entire 90 minutes on his phone, didn't see him avert his gaze from the screen once. Bizarre.

On what basis do you think the club has the power to fine people?! If they really want to punish them, they could just make them watch the match.

Seems an odd way to get your kicks. Do they make money from advertising? Maybe they're not even filming just watching a movie to take their mind of the unrelenting agony that is watching Villa.
People filming at gigs really pickles my beetroot. Enjoy the gif in real life high definition and buy the bloody record or DVD after if you feel the need.
-
Any radio commentary this evening, anyone know?
-
Well the team looks good, can't complain with that. Pitty we're still stook with Hutton. Personally I'd try Bacunna.
Come on, early couple of goals to settle the nerves please. Actually 4 or 5 might do before I've regained confidence.

High definition gif?

It's not exactly packed.
-

Do a Twitter search for:
Villa Radio
Villa Commentary
Villa Periscope
You should be able to find one.
You don't need a Twitter account either.
-
Only two fit senior strikers. Crazy by Bruce to offload Ayew in particular.
-
I'm happy as I can be with what we've got at the moment. I maybe would've taken a chance on Bacuna over Hutton, but both are a crap shoot. I'm glad Grealish is finally in the squad, and it's a 4-4-2.
SCORE SOME GOALS

No money changes hands, it's just love of the Villa and sharing with fans across the world that have no other way of watching or at times even listening to the game. Dog bless 'em, I say.

Hopefully tonight will be more of a treat for the eyes. I understand that the onus on clubs to report people streaming or filming to the Football League who may pursue legal action. Eviction and banning are within the clubs powers.
It's not clear cut though, this is on the subject - http://m.bristolpost.co.uk/are-you-breaking-the-law-when-using-a-mobile-phone-to-film-footage/story-29806415-detail/story.html

Where is this Facebook page?
-
Can't access AVTV, brilliant ::)
Thanks for the periscope link.
-
so he brings amavi back with 4 4 2
but does not play when he played with wingbacks
strange
Or Taylor is injured so has to play him.
oh the new signing injury jinx ..fair enough
-
A shot! Sort of.
-
https://www.periscope.tv/paul_1874/1gqxvqwjDwjJB
Thanks Nelly
-
Depressing to see the ground half empty
not surprising after Ipswich
-
Some decent pressure and play
-
save from Lansbury shot
-
https://www.periscope.tv/paul_1874/1gqxvqwjDwjJB
Thanks Nelly
My pleasure, Boz! Fingers crossed it's worthwhile..! We seem to be doing okay so far. Just had a shot from Lansbury.
-
Blues one nil down vs PNE
-
IanJ, Aston Villa Live From the Stands. It's shite tonight. Not worth bothering with.
-
Ok thanks Rudy.
-
good effort shot from adomah
-
Corner after a good hit from Adomah. Come on Villa.
-
Here we go!
-
Another good effort
-
Blues one nil down vs PNE
Someone called Callum Robinson scoring.
-
Hello lovebirds!!! How we getting on ? X
-
Don't let off.
-
Come on you bunch of useless wankers! Win a fucking match!
-
Come on you bunch of useless wankers! Win a fucking match!
That's the spirit. Bravo.
-
Score a goal, you overpriced, overpaid, pampered arses.
-
Playing pretty well so far. Still worrying at the back though.
-
Sounds like we've had all the ball so far. We're geving ourselves a chance.
-
Put the ball in the net you preening, over polished arse candles.
-
We are always fuckin worrying at the back...even more so once we kick off.
-
More good play.
-
Come on!! Sounds promising
-
Just opening a nice Burgundy to see me through the game.
-
Pen Barnsley
-
Penalty to Barnsley.
-
FFS
-
pen to barnsley
-
Nobody for Baker to pass to.
FFS: Penalty.
-
We just cannot get a break.
-
Come on you bunch of useless wankers! Win a fucking match!
That's the spirit. Bravo.
Save the fucking pen!
-
Not convinced it was from my view.
-
Pen to Barnsley.
Dear oh dear.
-
FFS all the pressure and we give away penalty
-
Blummin hell. Cork back in.
-
Scored.
-
It's almost funny. Almost.
-
0-1 Barnsley.
-
Just opening a nice Burgundy to see me through the game.
How nice?
-
When's it going to end
-
Bollox x infinity.
-
Fuck it, we're playing okay, we've got a 3 goal salvo in us. Come on Villa.
-
Just opening a nice Burgundy to see me through the game.
How nice?
I can't even get a bottle of wine open without us letting a goal. FFS
-
Was it a pen? What gave it away?
-
Another decent effort.
-
Fucking rubbish Amavi, £25m my arse, 25p fucking clown.
-
kpdja getting on my tits greedy
-
Things have to get worse before they get even worse
-
Fucking pitch, fucking dimensions
-
What's the betting this is the final score?
-
According to Sir Morley, Amavi just left his leg out a bit and the chap tripped over it/was fouled.
-
Just seen the penalty, at full speed it looked dodgy, I'm not sure.
-
Come on. Still in this, we have goals in us
-
Fuck it, we're playing okay, we've got a 3 goal salvo in us. Come on Villa.
I'm not sure we have, at least not in one game
-
When do we get to leave this parallel universe that we've been inhabiting the last four years or so? I would weep but I'm all out of tears.
-
Barnsley fans singing "going down" to us.
Not sure how much more of this I can take.
-
Sounds like Kodjia is still hogging the ball when he should pass. WTF do they do at Bodymoor all week? Just play him DVD's of it happening and show him the players in better positions.
Surely that's basic?
-
Come on, you craven fucking weasels!
-
Fuck it, we're playing okay, we've got a 3 goal salvo in us. Come on Villa.
I'm not sure we have, at least not in one game
Yeah, okay, you're probably right. It was more petty defiance than logic. We seem to be playing quite well though, lots of ball, lots of chances and shots.
-
I'm going for a shit....I may be gone some time
-
Come on. Still in this, we have goals in us
Have you seen us play lately Ian? Or noticed the fact that other than the two bottom teams, Wigan and Rotherham, we're the lowest scorers in the division? About the only thing we have in us is another shit defeat!
-
I've come to hate football these past few years
-
Still no clean sheet. We are incapable of keeping clean sheet no matter who is playing back four.
-
I'm going for a shit....I may be gone some time
Good luck getting your pants down before it's 0-2.
-
Barnsley are now 13 points in front of Villa, so perhaps we shouldn't be surprised they're one up
-
Come on. Still in this, we have goals in us
Have you seen us play lately Ian? Or noticed the fact that other than the two bottom teams, Wigan and Rotherham, we're the lowest scorers in the division? About the only thing we have in us is another shit defeat!
Ha ha!! Eternal optimism. On paper we have.
-
We are going to get relegated, aren't we?
-
We are going to get relegated, aren't we?
Might win a few then
-
We are going to get relegated, aren't we?
Might win a few then
That's what they said last year.
-
Dr Tony needs to go Rambo with his SPAS12 and a small fruit knife.
-
Don't bet on it.
-
We are going to get relegated, aren't we?
Might win a few then
De ja vous
-
We are going to get relegated, aren't we?
Might win a few then
We said that last year
-
We are going to get relegated, aren't we?
Might win a few then
We said that last season.
-
Still no clean sheet. We are incapable of keeping clean sheet no matter who is playing back four.
We couldn't keep a clean sheet in an Andrex factory.
-
At least we might win some games...
Ffs... popping a beer
-
We are going to get relegated, aren't we?
Might win a few then
Still not bottomed out as a club, so, doubt it.
-
Well Ads did anyway.
-
We are going to get relegated, aren't we?
Might win a few then
We thought that last season
-
Amavi ain't no defender.
-
We are going to get relegated, aren't we?
Might win a few then
the good thing is the team will be well and truly gelled in by then
-
We are going to get relegated, aren't we?
It's a distinct possibility. Even Blackburn have scored 6 more goals than us. If we can't stay above the likes of Rotherham and Burton, they should shut the club permanently and call it a day.
-
Fuck sake. Corner. Come on Villa.
-
Dr Tony needs to go Rambo with his SPAS12 and a small fruit knife.
They've probably locked him into his 'anger room', he's bouncing off the walls manically, screaming obscenities
-
all Villa
-
Somebody is due to get a hammering.
-
So when do we hit the bottom of our dip?
-
I'm going for a shit....I may be gone some time
Let us know how you get on. My money is on pebble dashery since you're entering trap 1 so soon after Villa 'went behind' (so to speak)
-
We are going to get relegated, aren't we?
it is very, very possible.
-
We are going to get relegated, aren't we?

Yes, in League 1 somebody might get that "overdue thrashing" that's been overdue for the last few years.
-

I'm not sure we have, at least not in one game
Yeah, okay, you're probably right. It was more petty defiance than logic. We seem to be playing quite well though, lots of ball, lots of chances and shots.
I used to try to be positive like these statements and in adversity, but it's really draining now and ultimately, you don't get three points with any of the above statistics .
Sherwood got us points in desperate times, no one else seems to be able to do that
-
Come on you useless bunch of wankers! Win a fucking tackle!
-
Amavi ain't no defender.
but maybe a wing back
-
Deflections, posts, super saves... always against us, never for us. Stupid mistakes the other way around
-
Didn't our youth team win by 6 or 7 the other day? Our ritualistic tonking of someone might have gone under the radar a bit.
-
Taikin de pish again. Brother on phone from HK.. doing well mite no problims. Sleep well an I'll call in the morning. We're gonna Winn big. I hate lying.
-
If we lose tonight surely the noose has to be tightening around his neck. I'm all for long term plans but I'd be reaching for the phone to get Rowett in.
-
Well Ads did anyway.
Obsessed?
-

Is this the same Sherwood who hired an alcoholic as his assistant and some fat bloke to get our professional footballers fit?
-
As it stands Barnsley are 13 points above us. Thirteen fucking points. Barnsley.
WTF.
-
Amavi is shit.
-
Who'd take a draw now?
-
Barnsley must have cost about £15 to put together, if we can't beat these tonight that's it, shut up shop and call it a day, it's pathetic and draining. No joy watching these wank stains at all, Amavi is absolutely shit by the way, he's terrible.

and even he was better than this fella
-
25million for Amavi? Muhahahaha.
-
WM (or whoever this is) making a big deal of the formation. One up top to accomodate Grealish they wonder?
-
This is the villa. Love it or move to Hong Kong. Brother did. Son loves leicester ffs
-
Overall playing pretty well. Just lacking a sodding goal.
-

Can't agree more.
I've posted something like that at least two dozen times over the last five years. I honestly might be coming to the end of my football fandom. I'd rather be with my family or fishing.
-
We did take some absolute mullerings under Sherwood though.
-
If we lose tonight surely the noose has to be tightening around his neck. I'm all for long term plans but I'd be reaching for the phone to get Rowett in.
I was for Bruce until the end of season, but if we're in the bottom three in March Dr X might have to think again
-
If we are in the bottom 3 at any time the manager should be sacked, this league is shit and we've spent more in a few months than most of these tin pot outfits have spent in their history. It's laughable what is going on, fucking amateur hour.
-
Two
-
Fucking hell.
-
FFS!!!!
-
Goodnight all.
-
2 0 barnsley
-
Fuck me, this is nuts
-
This shit is crazy
-
That's it
-
Good night and god bless.
-
Utter shit. 2-0 down at home to fucking Barnsley. Wankers.
-
Tell me this is a joke
-
We can't defend and we can't score.
-
fuck off
-
Fuck off Bruce on your bike you clueless conman.
-
Bruce has taken sides into the PL with a fraction of the resources as he has now. And we are getting worse by the week. We're cursed aren't we?
-
anything on TV?
-
Fuck off
-
We can't go down again, right?
-
Goal
-
gooalllll
-
2-1
-
Clowns
-
KODJIA!!!! Hutton Assist!! Come on!
-
kodja
-
Yesss!!! We score a goal!
-
We're like a graveyard for football managers
-
Lost 6 of the last 7 and 2 down, edit 1 down to fucking Barnsley.
-
anything on TV?
I've just put the last episode of endeavour on. Great so far. A bit of a wicker man homage. Night all.
-
At last, a goal
-
This is a fucking disaster.
-
Wheres the fucking quality in the side, lacksidasical defending, panicking and shit up front im seriously losing my shit about these cretins now I'm fucking raging with the club.
-
We should definitely stick with Bruce though.
Promotion specialist. He just needs a dozen or so seasons to get us out of the Vanarama League.
-
Christ we needed that.
-
Shit!!!! Grealish should have scored!!!! Fuck!
-
grealish misses chance
-
Grealish dummys instead of shooting
-
Bruce can suck my balls the panicky bastard. Grealish is shit, mid table chumpionship player at best.
-
We're like a graveyard for football managers
Why not? We've been that for players for years. And chairman.
-
We should definitely stick with Bruce though.
Promotion specialist. He just needs a dozen or so seasons to get us out of the Vanarama League.
You have to laugh...
-
When Holloway said that we would finish about 16th everyone took the piss, myself included. The way it's going we might be happy with that at the end of the season just to stay up.
It's fucking bleak.
-
get grealish off
-
Why do we keep missing those chances
-
We should definitely stick with Bruce though.
Promotion specialist. He just needs a dozen or so seasons to get us out of the Vanarama League.
Gallows humour. Actually made me laugh Dave. Makes a bleeding change ;-)
-
Christ, what must we do to turn this malaise around? Marry a gypsy? Slaughter a goat by moon light? Push the panic button and eject Bruce?
-
Green on Grealish off. Donkey.
-
Perhaps Morley should be manager, he has plenty of observations about what Villa should be doing
-
get grealish off
He's played ok. Played a part in our goal.
-
Could be worse - you could be a Barcelona fan. They are losing 2-0
-
get grealish off
???
-
Green on Grealish off. Donkey.
But he's the messiah.....or a very naughty boy....
-
Dont think i will ever watch sky again. They are about 3 to 4 mins behind the actual action
-
I'd go three at the back with attacking wing backs second half 😳.........
-
Christ, what must we do to turn this malaise around? Marry a gypsy? Slaughter a goat by moon light? Push the panic button and eject Bruce?
I'd be tempted to have the goat at RB.
-
Surely if we fed the goat, it might score?
-
I'd go three at the back with arracking wing backs second half 😳.........
Bruce is changing everything ever two second, I wouldn't put it past him. He seems to be having a meltdown at the moment.
-
the comeback on chaps and chapeses
-
The funny thing is if we were 2-1 up at half time you could bet your house we'd lose.
-
This Barnsley team lost 3 of their best players, Winnall, Hourihane and Barnsley and are still beating us. This season is a complete nightmare, every bit as bad and as embarassing as last season.
-
Alternatively factually speaking I should point out Newcastle are losing, this is a golden opportunity to close the gap on the leaders.
-
If we were playing as bad as Barnsley we'd be 4-0 down.
We've been by far and away the better side. First time they come into the box they fall over and get a penalty!
Plenty of possession, crosses and efforts at goal, time to make the dominance count.
-
The funny thing is if we were 2-1 up at half time you could bet your house we'd lose.
If we were 3-0 up I'd take that bet.
-
Why is he even playing Grealish? He cost us at least a point in Nottingham...hasn't come close to earning his spot all season and Bruce put him right back in after suspension?
-
Christ, what must we do to turn this malaise around? Marry a gypsy? Slaughter a goat by moon light? Push the panic button and eject Bruce?
God knows. I hope we can though. While we still have fans who care, I have to imagine people are going to be drifting away if this keeps up :(
-
It sounds like we've played okay. We need to come out on fire though, show some intent.
-
Could be worse - you could be a Barcelona fan. They are losing 2-0
My heart bleeds for them.
-
We've scored a goal and Hutton had put the ball into the box. Are Villa fans never happy?
-
Well that's a weight off my mind....now back to the football....oh shit
-
KODJIA!!!! Hutton Assist!! Come on!
Adomah assist.
-
Could be worse - you could be a Barcelona fan. They are losing 2-0
My heart bleeds for them.
Apparently PSG play a snatch of Uptown Funk by Bruno Mars when they score.
*shudder*
-
Make or break time for Bruce now. A repeat of recent second half performances will not be acceptable. He has no choice but to go for it. If he does with any luck he might actually stumble on something that works 🤡
-
KODJIA!!!! Hutton Assist!! Come on!
Adomah assist.
Apologies, the radio said Hutton. Twice!
-
Whats sad is I have zero belief we can win any game we go behind in. Even if it is Barnsley at home.
-
I'd go three at the back with arracking wing backs second half 😳.........
Bruce is changing everything ever two second, I wouldn't put it past him. He seems to be having a meltdown at the moment.
He has walked out before so there is hope.....
-
anything on TV?
Sky showing all the goals as they go in. Will be online later.
-
KODJIA!!!! Hutton Assist!! Come on!
Adomah assist.
Apologies, the radio said Hutton. Twice!
They did, but easy mistake to make as they do look alike......
-

Yeah I heard that. Sky showed the goal, Hutton was about to cross ( would never of reached Kodjia if ) but passed to Adomah who put the corss in and Kodjia stabbed it in.
-
get grealish off
He's played ok. Played a part in our goal.
He has and we have been OK in general. Shape looks a lot better and although we haven't created that much, we've still worked the keeper quite a bit. Just look a bit low on confidence. Couldn't see from the North Stand whether it was a pen, but it looked soft.
-
Could be worse - you could be a Barcelona fan. They are losing 2-0
My heart bleeds for them.
Yes, but they can hardly be bothered to clap when they score.
-

They both have eyes sooo....
-
Bruce cant hack this anymore, tonight he should walk.
-
Make or break time for Bruce now. A repeat of recent second half performances will not be acceptable. He has no choice but to go for it. If he does with any luck he might actually stumble on something that works 🤡
The problem with Bruce is he'll take off Amavi and Hutton only to put on Green and Bacuna. In doing so create a completely unbalanced side but an offensive initiative. We KILLED RDM for doing it, Bruce should be no different.
He hasn't created any sort of system in his time here, even with all of his resources and buying power. VERY worrying.
-
I'd go three at the back with arracking wing backs second half 😳.........
Bruce is changing everything ever two second, I wouldn't put it past him. He seems to be having a meltdown at the moment.
He has walked out before so there is hope.....
It would force our hand I suppose.
-
We need a goal in the first 15 minutes.
-
No idea what is wrong at our club,it seems to me that neither does that nice fella Mr Bruce.
Such a shame,its looking like a long walk off a short plank time.
-
Those very naughty chaps on Facebook look like they'll have their phones with them tonight.
I assume you're talking about Facebook Live. The club will work out who they are and ban them and probably fine them.
On what basis do you think the club has the power to fine people?! If they really want to punish them, they could just make them watch the match.
I love your posts Risso hahaha Brilliant mate!
-
KODJIA!!!! Hutton Assist!! Come on!
Adomah assist.
Apologies, the radio said Hutton. Twice!
Sitting in upper Witton end i confirm Adomah.
-
After bedtime in HK a long time.. brother frank thinks life is sweet. Tomorrow and tomorrow and petty pace eh.. villa snails pace!
-
'Right lads. That's a solid half they've got two we've got one, so if I see anyone crossing the halfway line they won't play for this club again. Let's keep it respectable, eh? Now go and show them what you're made of.'
-

After all TONY has tweeted, he had to stick with him till season end I think. Play offs def not. Tony's also recently pretty
Much said he's resigned to another season in championship . So if we stay up , Bruce will be here. If not in top 6 by next xmas after summer window he'll be gone .
-
No changes for either side accoring to the radio. Who apparently have been wrong before. Expect Adomah at right back and Hutton Right Midfield then.
-
Haven't we equalised yet ?
-
Haven't we equalised yet ?
lol
-
No changes for either side accoring to the radio. Who apparently have been wrong before. Expect Adomah at right back and Hutton Right Midfield then.
Tony Morley sounds like he's eating carrots whilst rolling over cobbles in a trolley.
-
I wonder if this will be GOOD half or BAD half.
-
Great position and a shit cross from Albert.
-

He does! But it was the other chap: slightly sleepy, children's narration type voice.
-
I'd be giving Albert the hook soon.
-
Lansbury is a good little player. Hourihane has been quite poor tonight, Adomah is hit and miss, Grealish anonymous.
-
Tony Morley - "we're not hurting them, we're too deep" - he can see the problem, we can see the problem, why the fuck can't Bruce?
-
We've let them settle and they're on top at the moment.
-
Adomah wank cross again.
-
Another poor cross from Adomah. Seems like two or three now.
-
Although that was a decent run and cross
-
This Barnsley team lost 3 of their best players, Winnall, Hourihane and Barnsley and are still beating us. This season is a complete nightmare, every bit as bad and as embarassing as last season.
I don't know for certain, but I'd guess that they have been together as a team for a long time and they all know what they're doing.
Leicester have shown you don't have to be the best to do well.
We need a consistent formation and team.
-
'Adomah', 'loses the ball', and 'doesn't beat the first man' go together like egg, beans and chips.
-
3-0 psg... it happens to the best, so calm down
-
We've not got going in this half as usual.
-
Surely time to bring on green
Bruce always seems to leave it too late to make a change
-
'Adomah', 'loses the ball', and 'doesn't beat the first man' go together like egg, beans and chips.
Almost as much as 'Villa ruin good player' goes with 'again'.
-
Barca 3 down
-
Bruce just doesn't seem to have any motivational skills at half time. We're so crap in the second half.
-
Clyde 0 - 1 Ayr
-
Just stupid decisions all over the shop.
-
3
-
We ain't that clever in the first half
-
3-0 psg... it happens to the best, so calm down
Leicesters name is written on that cup.
-
Fucking hell.
1-3 Barnsley.
-
Ooops
-
People leaving already
-
Fuck a duck. Night chaps.
-
Fucking stupid bastards.
-
We've shit it
-
Bruce out
-
Fucking hell!
-
This is beyond a fucking joke now.
Fuck off Villa.
-
4:3
-
Clyde 0 - 1 Ayr
Shocker.... bit like us winning this
-
Get rid of this clown.
There, I've said it, I've cracked.
-
Bruce just doesn't seem to have any motivational skills at half time. We're so crap in the second half.
We may just becoming crap enough to win this. Cunning plan
-
At least we are 1 goal better than Barca... calm down
-
Shit all over the shop. SHIT defending to give the free kick away. Shit attempts at clearing the ball. Attrocious football this half from Villa, all over the shop, getting pissed on by a tin pot outfit.
MAKE SUBS NOW YOU FUCKING POTATO.
-
Something is seriously wrong.
-
Bruce out
Can we swop Bruce for Barnsley's manager
-
Shocking defence
-
bring on Newcastle :-\
-
3 quick goals and we're right back in it
-
I am out of patience. FFS why are we incapable of improvement? WHy is it never us who smashes some other team? Why is it never us whose signings make an immediate positive impact? Why is is never us whose players settle into a greta solid team, why is it never us who hires a manager who really fits the club and brings positive results?
<irrational and angry
-
I don't buy all this about other teams being better as a unit, knowing eachother etc. etc.
If you've got loads of money you can get a better manager and better players than the other teams, so you are better at football than them and you win. It's not fucking alchemy. How we are managing t make it look like such hard work is a huge anomaly in world football.
-
how many pts above relegation
-
We should have come out firing on all cylinders.
-
Kodjia, offside, put it over anyway.
-
Something is seriously wrong.
It's called Bruce
-
Come back Remi, all is forgiven.
-
After we get fucked at Newcastle we are well and truly in a relegation scrap, fucking woefull Aston Villa, disgrace to the name. Make a sub you fat twat.
-
It's getting really hard to excuse Bruce and the Villa players.
-
bring on Newcastle :-\
Real 6 pointer that
-
1 Point this year, taaraaahhhh Bruce, you first class dangleberry.
-
how many pts above relegation
6
-
It's kind of sweet how positive Morley and the commentator manage to be when the reality is right there before them.
-
Serious question - are we the biggest joke in English football?
-
Maybe the players we buy are not good Footballers.................
-
Newcastle next then Derby.
Gulp!
-
Gone from anger to humour for me. It's just ridiculous. Valentine's day massacre two years on the trot. Relegation very much on.
-
And still no fucking subs. We're 3-1 down you ******, do your fucking job.
-
Bruce has to go, there is not going to be any improvement with him in charge.
-
Serious question - are we the biggest joke in English football?
us and Coventry
-
Maybe the players we buy are not good Footballers.................
They may not be footballers at all.
-
After the 30 thousand players we have bought, I still don't think we have bought the right players. No one compliments each other in this team.
-
Serious question - are we the biggest joke in English football?
If not we are in the top 1.
-
How have we got into this position since the Boxing Day win?
-
Still no subs
-
6 defeats in 7 games in a shit house of a division. Garbage Bruce, garbage. The midfield is missing this half, the defence are all over the shop, we have a couple of players totally anonymous wandering around the pitch. Fucking fight you fannys.
Make a sub, make a change you dickhead.
-
Serious question - are we the biggest joke in English football?
we will be renamed aston vanilla we get licked every game
-
It's getting really hard to excuse Bruce and the Villa players.
There is no excuse especially when you consider how much they are paid
-
I should be fuming. Somehow the apathy has grown to my spine
-
Well done, Villa. Thanks for justifying my decision to not use my season card tonight and instead spend more time this evening with my little boy.
-
How have we got into this position since the Boxing Day win?
Burton were better than us that day as well.
-
Calderwood must be the one whos fecked us
-
How have we got into this position since the Boxing Day win?
We were playing shit anyway but then entered January with no strikers at the club, fatty McCormack taking the piss, fat ****** Agbonlahor trundling around looking as threatening as Mrs Doubtfire and lost all momentum.
-
We're not very good, are we?
-
Calderwood must be the one whos fecked us
Did Brighton ever make subs before he left?
-
at FT just keep on walking Brucey
-
thor coming on
probaly for the goalie
-
It's getting really hard to excuse Bruce and the Villa players.
There is no excuse especially when you consider how much they are paid
Agreed again, Boz mate. I want to see some inspiration/leadership from the management. We still feel like a rudderless and listing ship.
-
meltdown?
-
Anyone still think this charlatan isn't the issue?
-
We're back !
-
suprised the site hasnt gone down with this disaster
meltdown
-
#relegationbattle
-
We need Stability?
Stability can fuck off.
-
we winning 4-3 now?
-
at FT just keep on walking Brucey
Good idea. Let a manager spend a load of money then get rid. Just like RDM. Why not let Bruce work with the players he bought and actually give someone a proper chance, not a few months.
-
Agent Potato-Head is doing a great job...
-
It's getting really hard to excuse Bruce and the Villa players.

We've bought how many captains though?
For every (presumably good) Championship player we've bought, their old team has turned us over with ease.
-
we winning 4-3 now?
:)
-
Anyone still think this charlatan isn't the issue?
I'm struggling to see what the issue is any more. Despite changing managers and entire squads, we just seem to get worse.
-
We're back !
from the old third division the way we are going
-
Anyone still think this charlatan isn't the issue?
How many charlatans are we going to get through?
-
Hogan has been wank. The abuse Grealish got when subbed was ridiculous.
-
Come on you bunch of useless wankers! Complete a pass!
-
Grealish finally taken off, cack player. Lansbury, our best player for me, again, tonight, subbed. Potato's game management again, terrible.
-
Fucking groundsman, shorten the pitch
-
Get a fucking grip you useless wankers. Sooo shit - the worst shit
-
bruce can feck off after this
i thought he would get us up in play offs , this is just embarrsassing
Hes nicked the best players of the teams around us and made them shit
-
At least Hogan has shown he can put the ball in the net, even if he was offside. For me, play him not Kodjia for a few games and see how he grows into the role when players pass to him !
-
How much worse can it get?!?
-
Bruce is a shithouse he can fuck off.
-

So don't play our top goalscorer who's got another tonight?
-
Albert misses. We've had more than enough chances and good positions to win this. And yet we lose again.
Att 26K
-
We really needed a centre half in January. i thought that would have been palpably clear.
Fucking hell. Another season of this shite. When will it ever fucking end?
-
at FT just keep on walking Brucey
Good idea. Let a manager spend a load of money then get rid. Just like RDM. Why not let Bruce work with the players he bought and actually give someone a proper chance, not a few months.
Lie down twice at home, to Ipswich and Barnsley, how many fucking chances do you give him?
-
Barcelona getting stuffed 4-0 by PSG..... pfff Barcelona are no Barnsley.
Fek sake we are sh1te.
-
Are they doing this on purpose?
-
I feel sorry for anyone who has a ticket for Newcastle
-
After the 30 thousand players we have bought, I still don't think we have bought the right players. No one compliments each other in this team.
They're all the best players, motivators and several club captains.....then they put our shirt on
-
Anyone still think this charlatan isn't the issue?
I'm struggling to see what the issue is any more. Despite changing managers and entire squads, we just seem to get worse.
Me neither, it don't make any sense. I said it earlier but we are a graveyard for managers.
Bruce has a great track record, what's going on?
-
Bruce is a shithouse he can fuck off.
Swap Bruce for the Barnsley guy
-
We have to be one of the most consistent teams in English Football - what more could you ask for ?
I have to admit I was secretly hoping the crowd would sing "You don't know what you're doing" when Bruce took off Lansbury.
-
So its a relegation battle. So many chances, no luck.
-
Aston Villa are relentlessly bad. We will approach the tipping point soon, after 6/7 years of what seems like almost constant poor football and defeats where the fan base starts to be affected. Youngsters particularly aren't going to want to support a club that is seen as a laughing stock.
-
Can I still call MON a ****** for starting all of this?
-
When was the last time we scored a second half goal? It's been so long I really can't remember off the top of my head.
-
Bruce is not the answer. He is Alex McLeish Mk2.
-
This is where Bruce's record in relegation battles becomes relevant.
-
Back to hoping there are worse teams than us to fill the relegation spots.
I thought we'd finished with that.
We probably haven't even Reached our low point yet.
-
I feel sorry for anyone who has a ticket for Newcastle
Oh I don't know, tens of thousands of Geordie feckers are probably looking forward to it.
-
When was the last time we scored a second half goal? It's been so long I really can't remember off the top of my head.
29th December, according to ceefax
-
Barnsley. Fuckin Barnsley.
Sort it out.
-
Wigan have scored, the gap will be down to 6 now
-
Morley must be close to the wheeling and dealing at B6 and he's been pretty scathing about Villa's second half
-

This is a very good point. I know people who are struggling to keep their young sons interested. If we had been this shit when I was between the ages of 9-13, I don't know how I would have been.
-
This is where Bruce's record in relegation battles becomes relevant.
He's not that good at them.
-
4 minutes injury time.
It could be 104 minutes, with Barnsley on the Motorway Home. We still wouldn't win.
-
We are not a team in transition, trying to integrate and gel with new players.
We are a fucking train wreck, with something deeply wrong at the club.
The problems is, as many have said, no one knows why or what the answer is.
-
After the 30 thousand players we have bought, I still don't think we have bought the right players. No one compliments each other in this team.
They're all the best players, motivators and several club captains.....then they put our shirt on
...but they're the wrong types of players to fit into what we have. 2 forwards who hate each others guts by the looks of things. 2 midfielders who look like it's the "You can't play Gerrard and Lampard in the same team" conundrum. We just buy players and hope they work without any thought about do they compliment who they're going to be playing next to.
-
When was the last time we scored a second half goal? It's been so long I really can't remember off the top of my head.
29th December, according to ceefax
So not one second half goal this year? We really are shite
-
Car Crash Villa.
-
Can I still call MON a c*** for starting all of this?
If you want to but it's not the answer. He didn't.
-
Barnsley. Fuckin Barnsley.
Sort it out.
And they're 13 points in front of us
-
We've scored 9 in our last 13 under Bruce now, bastard get your act together. Subs again, shit. Formation, shit.
You brought the players for 4-4-2 so play them in 4 4 fucking 2. I'm sick of panicky, desperate managers, flip flopping from one thing to another, looking to chance upon a winning formula.
Bruce is getting close to the line here.
-
We will go on losing until our young players get a chance. If nothing else they will put pressure on the lazy tossers who consider themselves actually above trying to win.
-
Boooooooo

All fair responses, but that means it's deeper rooted and it's STEVE Round and Keith Wyness for bringing their players in ?
-
We have bought a load of individually good players who do not play as a team, Bruce is another manager who has come to realise the job is too big for him, he is thrashing around without any clear team plan hoping things will come good.
I did not criticise him before the trading period because he had no say in the players in the squad but these are now his players and we have gone from bad to worse.
Do not wait any longer things will not get better the Villa job has claimed another victim.
-
I am done. Time for Bruce to go. Sorry, lovely guy, like his sanity but enough is enough.

You have to think it's a management problem. We're not cursed for fucks sake. It's just fucking stupid. Fucking football.
