Yes. You're obviously a lucky charm. Live under the Holte End. I'll feed you scraps. The Boss will buy you beer. What more could you ask for?

You'll have to pay your own £4 to get in the Holte Suite though Dave.  :)

So, every time we have a few months where things don't go right we should be demonstrating. That'll work wonders for our image.   

I think you're misrepresenting the situation.  The widespread antipathy towards Houllier is  about way more than results.

I think you're in danger of over-exaggerating the effect of the fans at the moment.  I work with a load of scousers, and they're laughing at us because of our predicament in the table, and that our manager is such a train wreck, nothing else.

That's because, as yet, we haven't had a load of numpties parading around in front of the cameras shouting for the manager's head and, by association, making Villa fans look like twats.

It's small-time, it's embarrassing and if it was Newcastle, Boggies, Small Heath or anyone else we'd be pissing ourselves at how pathetic it looks.
You thinking of joining in seeing as how you think it's such a good idea?

Completely disagree. If Liverpool or Man U were in our position their supporters would be doing exactly the same.

To my eyes it's the opposite  of small time or pathetic it shows that Villa supporters have some spirit. They're not prepared to take any more of this crap and they're not going to sit back and relax. Rightly so..

 

Demonstrations are for when your club is rotten from top to bottom, not because the first team is losing games and in a relegation fight as we are right now. Does anybody want to compare Randy Lerner and the people around him to the old men who very nearly bankrupted us in the late 1960s. Because if you do you dont know your Villa history.

This is purely about the manager, and the club does not need to be rotten from top to bottom to want shot of a manager who has angered and humiliated our supporters to the extent that GH has.
Why you bring 1968 into it I don't know other than maybe to make some spurious contention about my knowledge of the club's history which I can assure you is far more thorough than most.

The principles of supporting Houllier are probably correct, however it will cost us our PL status

Clearly Dunne & Collins were fit for selection on Saturday and should have been fielded

The players will not perform over the next 8 games for GH so we are as good as down

They were "clearly" fit were they? I though this was just a rumour. Where have you heard the definitive proof that this was the case?

You don't half spout some shite.

Dunne hasn't even been fit enough to train with the ROI squad yet, so how he was "clearly" fit is beyond me.
