Didn't Mcleish get a good reception? I hope so, there's no point in complaining about it now.

Aye. seemed premature to me to get on his back in pre-season. Probably the usual press hatchet-job.

You've gotta love this comment

As a Blues fan for many years, i was sorry to see mcLeish leave, but with the club imploding and likely to go into administration, I like many other Blue noses will follow Mcliesh across the city and adopt Villa...Up the Villa we're going into Europe

Just an observation from half time at the game...

Bannan, Beye and Clarke were warming up knocking balls around; Bannan looked class with good skill and ball control, Clarke not so bad but not great, Beye couldnt even control the ball most of the time and looked like he couldnt be bothered.

Beye isnt good enough to wear a Villa shirt, let alone be in the squad.

A Newcastle fan mentioned that we signed Beye injured and he was amazed he passed his medical.

Did anyone else see two lads get chucked out for squirting ketchup into the crowd at half-time?
