Aston Villa v Tesco Bags Post-Match Thread

Perhaps we could find where he parks and shit on his bonnet.

We could have a "What Are You Eating" thread every Friday night and swap tips on brewing up a really good one.

To clarify my comment.  I don't want to jeer him, I don't want to protest.  I just want the excitement for the game to return - a big part of that is the owners apparently waining ambitions.

Pity we're away on Boxing Day - would have been some superb 13-inch peanut-studded pan-crackers

He got an excellent reception this morning.

From who, were they Noses or Baggies supporters?

He was manager of da blues for several years, so is a professional in dealing with turds of all shapes and sizes.

A few thousand Aston Villa fans at the open-air training session. Couldn't hear a word he said when interviewed on the pitch, though.

If anyone knows where he parks im up for shitting on his bonnet

We're not "fucking diabolical", but there are some worrying combinations:

• A paper-thin and unbalanced squad with a lot of players that are either underperforming, past it or unproven (allthough promising)
• A manager who has a record of being unable to stop the rot when it sets in, and who has a minimum of goodwill in the bank
• A owner who seems to have lost interest and who has abruptly changed the level of investment in the playing side. (Fans of Leeds and Portsmouth know that such shifts can be troublesome.)
  

However, the squad has still got some good players -- and allthough the gaping hole in our central midfield is a big worry, there is probably a decent mid-table Premier League side there somewhere. And our manager also has a record where he on occasions has managed to get alot out of little.

This can still go many ways, I feel.

A fair point of view, but I think the way we're going is only down, unless AM can gee them up. However, following his spell as a pundit on the Man City European game, he didn't impress with his sparkling wit, personality or charisma. I don't think he's more than a dour Scot with a limited approach to the game. I'm still regreting we didn't take a risk with a younger developing manager such as Poyet.

If Bent wants out in January, what then? More in the kitty and a cheap replacement !!

We are now 5 points down on comparable games versus last season. You might argue with which relegated teams one pairs up this years new arrivals but the trend is there to see. I quite like AM as a character but I said before he arrived that he's an awful record as a manager and if he doesn't relegate us this year he will manage it next year.

Apart from agreeing with the general opinion that it was fucking torture to watch, I made the following observations:

Walking along the laughably  named Lovers Walk (more like muggers Alley), I saw a dead rat which was the size of a small cat.

The Stripey Filth were bathed in sunshine throughout while we in B5 were shrouded in sepulchral shade.

Our full backs seemed to be under instruction to get forward and overlap whenever they could.

Warnock was very good going forward early on, but all our attacks were going down the left side, to the point where Zog wondered over to the left to join in. Ash and Downing used to swap wings, but 2 wingers and an overlapping full back on one side is a new one on me.

Calling all Villa Fans !!!!!!!!!!!

It is now time to start McLEISH how we feel we are too quiet at Villa Park. What is it with us? Not once has anyone jeered him at Villa Park? Why? We have given him eleven games how much more time does he need? December is going to be the mother of all months for us and how many points will we pick up?

Yeah, I reckon that's the answer to our malaise.

We need to start jeering the manager. Perhaps we could find where he parks and shit on his bonnet. Or throw rotten fruit at him.

That'd lift the spirits.

twat!          totally in my opinion of course!

[Legion]

It's H&V. Even idiots are allowed an opinion.

[KRS]

He is now the first manager for 32 years to lose at home against the baggies what other records will he make ? The first manager to take both Bham teams down. We have had enough of this boring football do us a favour and go.

It wont happen. Fortunately for McLeish there are at least another 3 teams worse than us this season...take your pick from Wigan, Blackburn, Wolves, Bolton, QPR, Swansea and Norwich. Even if we have an absolute shocker of a season, there are no excuses for finishing lower than 13th...unless any of those teams have a change in management and make a few decent signings in January.

[dave.woodhall]

If only we'd sacked the last manager to lose at home to them...

Why don't you start the jeering or do you need the comfort of half the Holte End joining in with you first?
