Aston Villa v Bolton Wanderers Match Thread

Oh dear.   Being turned over at HOME by Bolton reserves,  whose first team cannot win for shit.   It doesn't bode well.

The problem is the midfield has not got a tackle in them anywhere. Or a fucking engine. At which point you are inviting disaster. Bannan is a good ball player, but Petrov and Ireland are not enforcers. Ireland needs to be fucked off for a footballer that can tackle in the middle of the park.

We have a midfielder who can tackle in the middle of the park.   He is playing in Greece.

As I say we are a joke now, we are being run into the ground with frankly bewildering negligence. You cannot cut back in the manner we have and hope to have a prayer.

[Bad English]

Fuck this! I'm going to "beat the traffic"...

He need's to be given his marching orders right away, how very loooooooong has he been here, and not decent game out of him

We've been mugged

Irreparable damage will be done by Christmas, so by the time we need to change the team around it will be too late.

We had one who is playing at Bolton as well!

Why did we get lumbered with a poor billionaire when Man City got a stupidly rich trillionaire?  We are going to relegated this year, I am pretty sure of it.

I don't bet on us to lose or get relegated out of principle but I suspect that might be a very good bet and decent odds to boot. I certainly think we are going to be much nearer the lower end of the table than people think...

Brian your views are usually pretty spot on, but Makoun can't tackle to save his life. Should be playing for us I agree, but alongside Reo Coker with someone in front that can playmake. As it is we just have total shite.

Wasn't McLeish brought in to win these sort of games. What a fuck up.

Was he? I thought he was brought in to do a mediocre job on the cheap while talking us down to lower expectations. My mistake.

[Fergal]

Lets be honest...we knew all along that when we came up against decent opposition we would struggle...

We have yet to meed a good team.  we are fucked proper well and truly fucked.  We will soon be wishing that GH GMaC were still with us.

I don't want to let the Carling Cup go. It'd be nice to do it two years in a row
