   VCTM - In reply to your summarising post, Its a shame you feel that way about modern football and in particular, the premiership. And maybe its because I was not around to see alot of football before the premiership but......I chuffing love it! Its a real-life, living, breathing soap opera. I love the drama, the sub plots and sagas. I love SSN, Soccer AM, Soccer Saturday. I love Match of the day and their X-Factor, light weight post match analysis. I love to hate Mark Lawrenson, El Haj Diouff and Joey F'ing Barton.
   This season alone, we have had The crash and re-emergence of Liverpool, Spurs lighting up the CL, little league blackpool teaching the big boys a few lessons, Fat Sam getting the boot, The BEST transfer deadline day ever, a great cup final (the less said the better, but it was a bloody good game), great manager battles like Houllier and Holloway, King Kenny returning etc etc. I could go on, but the point im trying to make is that its bloody entertaining.
   Even Houlliers line up and subsequently this thread has made for great reading and reasoned debate, rather than coming on here to find people discussing technical problems with their laptops and their favourite motown one hit wonders from the 1970's #Yawn#
   It may not just about the football anymore but I hate eastenders and corrie so im going to keep on embracing the madness

Marvellous posts VCTM ! I  respect your opinion ,as a true "non local" supporter,far more than those with  tens of thousands of posts and given moderator status on here ,who never see hide or hare  of Villa Park and subsequently contribute ,presently ,nothing financially to our great club and yet question our current owners !

Yes, VCTM makes a good set of points. By the way, I attend every home game and some aways. I regularly frequent the club shop. Post count does not equate to Moderator status, by the way.

Just as well, else I'd be one!

Maybe those that are tyring to justify GH selection are doing it out of a mis placed sense of loyalty to the Club. The majority of fans are angry because thier loyalty to the club includes doing the best to win and to experience glory. That opportunity was shamelessly denied them by our managers actions. His subsequent attempt to justify his decisions was disrespectful and arrogant.
Those that are now insulting those fans because they are rightly angry and upset is very sad.

That's a bit rich coming from you.
thanks for your contribution, well done

Your just jealous because I've got a shift key and you haven't.

I'd rather have Colonel Gaddaffi in charge right now than that fuckin French surrender monkey!

Forgive me, but I thought our club motto was prepared! Prepared for what? Failure? Certainly aint winning trophies!

Bayern Munich were a collectively better team than us! Did Tony Aston send out a team with the thought, don't worry about it lads - give it a good go, but no one's expecting too much. And when Jimmy went off injured did we roll over and cave in? Did we fuck!!!!!!

No wonder the French caved in in 6 weeks! Their generals were probably saving the legs of their best infantry for the following week!

I shant set foot in VP until he's gone

Still not going again until the surrender monkey leaves!

Your reaction to what you claim is giving up without fight is to give up, brilliant satire.

His comments about the 'danger' of getting a draw at Man City can only be construed as an admission that we threw a 5th round FA Cup tie, which had a home quarter-final tie against Reading as a reward.

I'm genuinely suprised that anyone is trying to defend or justify that decision.

Quite.

It's as though Houllier saw the draw and decided there and then that we weren't going to get anywhere near winning the game, so why bother.

Unbelievable attitude.

Have you ever 'called' McLeish 'Scottish' ?

Why mention his nationality if not to emphasise a point, or to satisfy a cliche?
