Title: That Note
Post by: kippaxvilla2 on November 05, 2021, 11:54:59 PM
Did anyone think it looked completely ridiculous and unprofessional and like should’ve been sorted during the week?  Apparently it told them to press more.  What on earth is going on?

Is there a GIF or video of it..? I was watching at work and didn't catch it.

If that's all it said why not just shout it to one of the players to pass on?

It was just a note. No shouting needed.

Never seen anything like it before.

Thankfully Mings did his captain duty and picked it off the floor before it was leaked to a reporter.

It’s all about the press. You don’t have access to the statistics that I do.

Bruce (not the ex-Villa manager) has been dead all along.

Brad Pitt and Ed Norton are the same person, but I'm not allowed to talk about it.

Let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater here, I thought it was probably a good move to not let on instantly to Man Utd/Soton that we were changing the approach (or rather, not letting on what that change was).

It's easy to see everything that happens when we're in a slump as automatically a bad idea, but I thought that was one of the few good points this season - a bit of awareness of how we can get an extra advantage, however small.

I can just imagine sky tv sending a runner to grab the note after Watkins threw it down. Glad Mings stopped that happening.

I see it as the sort of thing that teams with poor players and limited resources do to gain an extra advantage, to make up for lack of quality and talent in the side. File alongside "clever" set pieces, long throws, long balls and an over aggressive approach.
We'll be turning off the hot water in the away dressing rooms next or taking the players up Clent with an army drill instructor.

Totally ridiculous  and well done to Mings for taking care of it.

Saying we've got a specialist set-piece coach, it's amazing how much we've struggled to organise at set pieces and defend them.

I'm surprised he didn't send it by second class post - his 'tactical' changes are always so fucking late.

Especially when the team read it, than walk round shrugging and looking confused afterwards.

 :it all just undermines the management and he doesn't need it. I'm absolutely loathing the piss-ripping out of one of our own who wants us to succeed as much as we do. When he goes - which we assume he will - it will be a sad day for the club. We had a Fan as manager and Jack Grealish who's allegiance is well known which was wonderful and its all just soon to be a memory.
