Doesn't make sense.Only 2 places off my prediction...AM managed to get the team playing even lower than my expectations and 7pts off 14th place! What a muppet!

Can somebody resurrect last year's manager thread, where the Scottish manager arrives - I want to relive that 9/11 moment of disbelief and despair in preparation for this year's bombshell.

Thread from the beginninghttp://www.heroesandvillains.info/forumv3/index.php?topic=43650.0 And I believe this is the stage where AM started to surface. http://www.heroesandvillains.info/forumv3/index.php?topic=43650.5415Quite amusing reading some of it now, some great posts including "Its not bad news, its just a bookie's odds.McLeish isnt going to be Villa manager any more than Barbara Streissand."
Quote from: ASHTONVILLA on August 06, 2011, 10:43:50 AMVoted 16th.The defence is rank bad, and minus the best performer last season (Walker), and possibly minus our best central defender (Cuellar). I have no faith in Eck performing miracles and getting them to play well, indeed Dunne is another year older and will possibly decline still further.The midfield is far and away weaker than last year, having been shorn of its two best players. We have a good signing in N'Zogbia, but that is a very poor trade for Young AND Downing. Petrov is not going to miraculously become a 90 minute player, and beyond him we have no one that can tackle in he squad. EWe will miss Coker this year. Delph seems very injury prone. Makoun may do better, but needs to as he was not great last season. I fully expect Ireland to comtinue to be poor, based on his pre season form being no better than last season. Albrighton looks jaded, though I would hope he will improve.Up front we have Bent, best hope he does not get injured as without him we could be in the relegation mix again.Can't see past a bloody awful season tbh.And the Nostradamus Award for 2011-2012 goes to...I voted 12th for the record.
