Like MON never left. Clueless.

You really are infatuated with MON arnt you...........

He is?

Like MON never left. Clueless.

what are you on about you tard? I thought MON had taken the club as far as he could but we were never this frankly disgustingly poor under him.

We werent even this spiritless under DOL's worst season

What's a tard?
We weren't spiritless today, there was loads of effort, the problem is we were clueless with the ball and played into Blackpool's hands. The only difference between today and the majority of games under MON is we didn't sneak a lucky goal. The fact that we play like headless chickens, so bloody disjointed, no plan, despite the significant funding and talent available is unacceptable.

Still, if pub football is what turns you on, good luck to you. As I said so many times over the last few seasons, we're not as bad as we pretend to be and the responsibility falls with the manager and coaches. Today was a return to last season. It was horrible.

Could have been very different. Can settle for the point 4 points from a possible 6 from them, it isn't a disaster.
-We were remarkably poor at the back again but going forward we looked promising.
-The final ball is crucial for Bent or he does spend the game as a passenger.
-Would like to see Young back out wide again, if that is at the expense of Gabby then so be it.
-We could've lost, we got a point playing for 30 mins with 10 men.
-Until he got sent off I thought Makoun had had a good game. Far more productive than Petrov, it's a pity he is not going to be sble to build on it due to suspension.

I am a big fan of his normally but today....my word.  If Downing had scored his one on one we would have gone on to win I reckon.  Couple that with his shocking service and I lay a lot of the blame at his feet for having one of his worst days in a Villa shirt.  Honourable mentions for Clark and Walker who were also useless.  Must beat Blackburn now.

Much more of that and you'll be going down with the Baggies.

[WikiVilla]

SHA above us with 2 games in hand.

Well...Randy's going to have to make a decision soon....I reckon GH has got till the end of the month to put some distance between us and the bottom 3. I don't think the money spent in Jan was Randy's way of backing GH. I think it was Randy's way of backing Aston Villa.

Second half - shit going forward, shit in the middle, and shit at the back.

Anyone who thought (or thinks) we are out of the relegation scrap is living in cloud cuckoo land. I also don't believe there are necessarily three teams worse than us.

West Ham came back from 3 down at Albion. Wigan came back to draw at Anfield. That takes spirit. For every Man City at home, or Chelsea away, where we show some spirit, there are five matches when we are utterly, utterly spineless.

I think you are totally wrong.

there I put it nicely, which is more than the comment deserved

Okay malc, don't worry. You're still the champ.

[Nastylee]

Promising first half where quality in the last third let us down. I personally thought that the defence (goal aside) weren't that bad. There were some great last ditch blocks in a game that was very open and probably a defender's nightmare.

I thought Makoun and NRC vroke play up well and played it sensibly to the players who are supposed to be out attacking outlet. Unfortunately, they couldn't produce a ball. Bent was total crap and has been in most games TBH. There is an element of truth that all he does is score goals and offers very little else. You'd have thought that he'd be full of confidence after England and up against a defence that gives you chances but nothing.

Once Makoun saw red then the best we could hope for was a point and we can be thankful the much maligned defence stood firm. Don't remember Brad having much to do. The reason we dropped points today was down to the attack!!!

Hopefully a week off and a home game against Blackburn will see some of the shit ironed out.

[willywombat]

A poor result nevertheless, against a side on such a bad run, especially as the competition around us including Blues did ok. Time for the knife sharpeners to be brought out of the draws perhaps.


Cant see how that will help in any way , shape or form

[CJ]

Blackburn up next, Bolton away then Wolves.

Its gonna be horrible horrible horrible

There again - win those 3, we're clear of a relegation battle, and with a cup win over Notts County it suddenly looks good! I feel better already

(Really shouldn't have had that second large gin and tonic so quickly after the game on an empty stomach) 

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Do results mean absolutely nothing to people on this site?

Would you be happy to only shag ugly slappers? Afterall, a shag is a shag, no?

[Phil from the upper holte]

I thought Walker played well on the whole

What on earth are you talking about?

[Matt Collins]

I thought we attacked very well in the first half, but defended poorly. Second half was really poor.

Oh sorry, you're not allowed to have a balanced view are you? I mean utter fucking shite, clueless gubbins, we're going down, Houllier needs to go, it's like MON never left, we're the worst team in the league, I hate football, Bent was a waste of money, Downing is the worst player to ever wear a villa shirt, I would take £8m for Young, Dunne is too fat, Friedel is too old.
