We have nothing up front; Gabby and Heskey were clearly injured yesterday and Weimann lacks pace (if not effort).

Im not the slightest bit concerned I think we will beat the Albion. For gods sake they are not that good or even good. A lot depends on Collins being fit. He's hard gets stuck in and if anyones capable in that team of scoring from from a corner he is...as long as Bannan's taking it.

Heskey should also start as at least he knows what he's doing and has a physical presence up front

I woke up this morning actually thinking McCleish might have resigned but no he has no intention of doing so. Said something like the "fans know we are in a bit of trouble" The master of understatement.

Our chairman Howard Hughes does not attend games because he knows he will get abused. Outside Wembley in 2000 I had the pleasure of talking to our great captain Johnny Dixon and his son. Mr Dixon said "Villa are a grand club" and so we are
but with a poor team and a shocking manager who got Birmingham relegated from an impossible position and may well do it with us.

Mr Lerner I assume you have a plaque on your excecutive desk which to quote Harry S Truman says"The Buck Stops Here"

Look at it!

I admire your optimism, but we are at the last 3 games of the season, and Albyun are better than Bolton, Collins is a member of a squad who has helped to put us where we are when he was fit, and we havn't scored from a corner since God was a boy.

Weimanns movement is excellent, and he'll score goals in the Championship. Heskey was excellent yesterday, but his fitness isn't good enough. As for Gabby, meh. Sick of him now.

Don't think we are capable of helping ourselves now with zero confidence .Our fate will decided by results of the teams around us.
AM hasn't had that much grief yet considering the position we are in and the way we have played over the season  so i don't have any pity for him. Look at the grief that Keen has had all season and when you compare what the two of them have had to work with, which manager has done the better job this season ? Keen or Mr. £2 million a year. £2 fuckin million a year .

West Brom (a), Spurs (h), Norwich (a) left.

Can't see a win in sight, a goal even.

36 points, 37 maybe if we manage a 0-0 is what we'll end up with.

Villa too good to get relegated, nonsense, we aren't that good under this Manager who's CV is littered with the 'R' word.

Need 2 draws or 1 win to be safe. 1 point may be enough but i wouldn't like to chance it. Lose all 3 games and we are down. I think we'll just about stay up, and although i generally like contingency with managers, McLeish has to go after only 1 season.

He has proven Premier League experience, proven that when it comes to the end of the season, he has not got a fucking clue.
As others have said, the tile of the thread is wrong, Mc Wankers teams don't do fighting.
