Aston Villa v Wigan Athletic Post-Match Thread

[shipscat]

Ironic,that the vast majority of season ticket renewals landed on the post mat yesterday morning,on a day when the sunshine meant you could spend your afternoon  switching Off Your villa routine  and Going Out and Doing Something Less Boring Instead!

There's an awful lot of what appears to be busted flushes on that pitch yesterday afternoon,it was crying out for a little drive in the centre.

As someone said above, there was a total lack of movement off the ball, it was so depressing to watch. That for me was also the clearest sign that these players do not care, they just can't be bothered.

I also agree that there are an awful lot of players we need to be shot of. Heskey for one, with that pathetic display of petulance on top of his usual shitness can fuck off 

How much longer do we have to pay that waster his 60k a week?

55 more weeks.

First chance of posting after yesterday's dreadful showing, but that's it in a nutshell
the majority of the team didn't show up, have one foot on the beach, think their job
is done till next season or maybe thinking/knowing they will be elsewhere.

Perhaps some of the players don't get on with Houllier & MacAllister, but surely they
ought to have pride in their own performance and put in the effort even if things don't
go their way ? Clearly not - from where I was sitting in the Lower Holte

Several posters have mentioned arm waving and disagreements on the pitch yesterday,
which has been evident for several matches now with the possible exception of the
last ditch win at West Ham - clearly they are not singing from the same song sheet and
some aren't even miming.         

They might get away with another poor performamce at the Emirates with the 'away support'
enjoying their end of season party but a lack lustre showing and defeat at the hands
of Dalglish's revitalised Liverpool will make any post match parade cringeworthy in the extreme.

I hope to be firmly entrenched in the pub by the time that starts.

Another great advert for the so-called "best league in the world", where average players can earn in a week more than most of those paying to watch get to earn in a year.
Where the technique is that good that the ball went out for a throw-in by the dugout about 8 times in the first 3 or 4 minutes.
Quality stuff again - well worth £500 a year to watch.

My sentiments exactly
