The General C. Krulak Thread XIV

[OzVilla]

General, I agree totally with your comments.  

The 'doom merchants' have been going like a broken record all season and quite frankly it's boring.  Some of the negative comments after the Blose game are ridiculous.  Some of these posters must have very short memories - 03/03/03 anyone?

[OzVilla]

General. why are you having a go at Pauliewalnuts? Probably one of our most loyal fans. Someone who follows the club home and away.

We were utterly cack (a Midlands word for shit) for most of the game today, we are allowed to mention this on an internet forum aren't we?

General, I have the utmost respect for you, but please do not come onto OUR forum and tell us what we can and can't say about the club we have invested a huge amount of our time and money following.

'Our site'.

FFS, I suggest that you take that comment back - a foolish thing to say.

Out of interest, which are these negative comments? The general consensus seems to be "who cares what it was like, we won".

Almost as foolish as

[OzVilla]

Well for me, it is boring though, Dave.  

Some of the comments are imo crazy at times but I don't suggest that somehow it's 'our site' and these posters have no right to have those opinions. We are all Villa fans arn't we.

Especially on a day like today (yesterday) I think it'd be nice if we took a day off the negtivity imo.

Read the post match thread then, there are plenty on there if you go through it.

If it's boring you can alway ignore it. And yet again, there is no 'negativity' on here tonight. There are a few opinions which not every agrees with, although that seems to be becoming a crime in many eyes.

I have read it. A lot of people saying we didn't play particularly well (second half, we didn't, let's face it) but then saying we don't really care, so long as we won.

You'll find pretty much the same type of posts on other Villa sites today.

[Reformation]

General,

May I add this season has been one of my favourites. We certainly have not been as 'pretty' as other seasons and other teams, but we have been very very 'efficient'. If 'efficient' performances mean guarenteed european football, contesting a top4 place, highest points tally, FA Cup semi-final and League cup final long may it continue. We've held our own within a season that has been one of the most competitive in recent memory.

Long may the current regime continue, UTV.

General you wonder what Villa fans want after this seasons results, when you ask such a question it brings you into areas that you will not discuss, an example of this is, nearly all of us want a right back playing at right back simply because we have a centre back playing there who is a great player in the wrong position while having two right backs on the bench. Care to comment on the positional pro's and cons? Ashley Young has gone backwards since he won the young player of the year title, care to speculate on why this is?  These are issues we discuss and argue about all the time, i am not saying you are not as fervent a suppoerter as all of us but we have been doing it for a very long time. Finally it's easy to spot you are not from Birmingham General, when we are topping the ladder and playing great football you will still get us moaning and whingeing, don't take it to heart that's the way we are.

Funny how we all see things differently. I rarely post anything too optimistic any more as I'm fed up of it being jumped all over by other posters who seem to patrol the site to stamp out positivity, as if it's a 'crime' or something. I'm afraid I've been worn down by it.

I love how stating the obvious about the deficiencies of the team has now become being part of the "haters", "naysayers", "doom merchants" etc.... Truly amazing. This is a football messageboard where people post opinion on what they see out on the pitch and on matters relating too that. If the football isn't pretty and we only win 8 out of 18 at home, drawing some pretty woeful games of football, they will moan about it. Beating the Blues was great today at home, and we have the Generals countryman to thank for it. 7 minutes from time at 0-0, people might not be happy that he was already man of the match. Delighted we won, but the moaning is only discussing things that are in essence facts of the season.

General, just an observation. We dont seem to be making much of the villa youth team getting to the F.A.Youth Cup Final this season and i wondered why that was ? You'd be hard pushed to find anyting at all on the clubs website about this achievement yet its all over Chelseas equivalent. There was the smallest piece possible about it in the programme for the blose match and we dont seem to have put out any ticket details despite the home leg taking place in 4 days time. It would also be a good idea to announce somewhere that the away leg is all ticket according to the chelsea website and that tickets need to be bought in advance as Im sure I wont be the only one planning to travel for the match.   A large crowd at VP for this would really help the lads no end particularly as they then have to play the second leg away from home. It would be a shame if the crowd is a poor one as a result of the lack of promotion.
