Manchester City v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[luke25]

Can anyone who went confirm that fans were chanting 'fuck off houillier' at the manager as some people are saying they heard it on the radio?

there were a number of fans, a rather large number in fact, singing 'fuck off houllier, the villa is ours'

Just got back. They were much better technically. Our players are not good enough although I was in the players lounge after the game and the vibe from our players was not good. Bannan was straight into the lobby looking glum. Petrov had a face like thunder and was on his own away from the rest of them. We need a big clearout because the players we have just cannot play possession football. City had a team full of players that can take the ball in tight situations, our players seem to panic and lump it.

Post match press conference

He's looking somewhat downcast.

One thing I will say, is that this is more proof that Carew is a fucking disgrace.

To be fair I agree Gary. Anybody who has ever expected anything positive from Man City is a fool.

Karl would you say the players were unhappy because of the result? I.e. did it seem like they cared or did they come out happy and not bothered?

 He's looked downcast for the last month,apart from at Anfield.

They definitely looked pissed off because of the result, there was no laughing and joking. There was just a weird vibe amongst the players.

Brad had his hands on his head. Warnock gave the away fans a snidey look, the jibbing Scouse twat. Pires and The Fonz clapped the fans- the rest were more interested in swapping shirts.

watching that post match conference

he reminds me of a sub teacher at our school

trying to act as if he is in charge, but knowing that he isnt - when asked about Carew i could feel his embarassment when answering

i was squirming for him

do yourself a favour and walk away

Carew is a piss taking wanker.

I can agree with O'Neill with his antipathy towards the him. He took the piss before our biggest European game in years and was lauded for it and now he’s taking the piss now. Fuck off Carew and take the other wankers with you.

Sounds like he's losing the will to live.

Absolutely correct. He looks utterly defeated. Note the reference to the job being difficult for many unnamed reasons. Managers tell players what to do, not the other way around. Is Carew in charge?!

I have been saying this for ages - he is a disgrace and if he was 'fit' I wouldn't trust him to put a shift in for us.

Some fans think he is a legend because he got caught in a titty bar the night before our biggest european game in years.

Says it all - desperate times.

Can someone please teach him how to do a windsor knot.

The thing always looks strangled ;-)

Whats he saying about Carew, I cant see it?
