Aston Villa v Manchester United Post-Match Thread

[villasjf]

Taking 5 minutes to tie his lace then shoot to not even get a corner or goal kick and constantly falling over......

Oh, and a special shout out to the utter fucking morons booing Ashley Young. You deserve to be served up this shite.

Agree entirely.  Really hoped our fans would behave with a bit of class today and pay respect to a player who carried us in terms of creativity for the last four years.  Shame.

I did no such thing and I thought he got booed  heavily after his pathetic tackle on Marc and that was well deserved. There were some mild boos before that and nothing wrong with that.  Both of you gents need to pull out of his arse as soon as you can!

He has to go. We are going only one way. My one son won't go anymore and has a ST. What do I say to him to convince him to go. Still, as Randy says in the programme a conversation with Alex is engaging. Shame the players don't think the same!

So after all it was Doug that caught MoN. Well it won't have been Randy will it?

[Tony]

ah well at least I got one of those Villa Moments T-Shirts!

O'Neill only came because of Lerner.

Its very ugly.
McLeish only knows survival football.

I can't believe we didn't turn the game around when our genius manager pulled his Emile shaped Ace Card outta his sleeve. Oh my God, he put out a decent looking starting 11 but obviously instructed them not to string more than 3 passes together and under no circumstances threaten the opposition goal.

Please let there be some serious changes at our club soon , this is not good enough.

[citizenDJ]

Desperately poor stuff again. It's not the losing, especially not to Man Utd, it's the dismal attitude, approach and application of the team. I honestly thought McLeish would change his approach with us, make the most of his big chance, but he isn't. It's awful, and getting worse. If I could see signs of change, of improvement, then OK. Tricky, but OK. As it is there is nothing. I just can't tell what he is trying to do.

For what it's worth, I think we're going to be in trouble come the end of the season unless we change the manager. And the defence. And a fair chunk of the midfield. But not Heskey. He was "tremendous".

Judging by his record of relegations, he doesn't even know that.

[Greg N'Ash]

Anyone know what N'Zogbia's done. breach of club discipline i heard...tried to pass it in training?

He certainly only came because Doug was going. The more important question, I think, was whether Lerner would have picked O'Neill if it was entirely his choice. Weren't the rumours that Klinnsman was his top target?

If the only two managerial appointments that Randy has solely been responsible for are anything to go by, we should be thankful that Doug was still here, because Randy asppears to know fuck all about recruiting a suitable manager.

Still, at least he turned up for his second game of the season.

He didn't survive 2 out of the last 3 seasons. All he knows is how to take teams down. He is doing a good job in this direction.

[Montys Bro]

'Heskey gave us a different dimension tactically, he has tremendous presence, he made his presence known. He was tremendous.'

'We were much better second half, we had a couple of little opertunities'

Did he really come out with that?? Boy,were fcuked if he did.

It was the ESPN interview, the bbc one was a bit more hinged, as it were. If somebody else could corroborate it that would be helpful, like a witness to a murder I was traumatised and my memory may be fuzzy, but he was definitely complimentary of Heskey's 'presence'.

My thoughts exactly though. I didn't even hear the rest of the interview because I left the room shouting to nobody in anger and despair.

[PeterWithesShin]

I heard it was a lot more serious than that.

He tried passing it forward to a bloke wearing the same colour shirt as him.

[ROBBO]

The problem with Randy is that he had trouble with a character like Martin and wanted someone he could get on with. If i were able i would be a placard carrier next home game to get AM out. To all those who wanted Houllier out well you got your wish and this is what we've ended up with, a manager who has no plan and obviously no authority over the players. A performance that was a disgrace to the club and the shirt, Randy was there to see it.
