Dunno Richard, I imagine there must be some in the general Aston vicinity.

I'd prefer there to be no protests, banners etc before or during the game. As AM obviously can't do it we need to try and raise the players to the results we need. The cause of the club is more important than AM will ever be. We need to create an atmosphere like the Newcastle game last season, and not one like the Wolves game.

Trouble is I don't think support, however great will make any difference.  I was at Wigan and the crowd gave brilliant support to the team from the first minute to the last, and yet were still treated to a typical performance and result.

But we won that game 0-0!

We might need a draw against Spurs to ensure survival.

I may not think McLeish is the best manager in the world but I still want him to succeed.
I think most of us have that attitude but I will not happen because he is just not up to the job.

We must get behind the team 100% for the full 90 mins.
If we are 0-3 down with 5 mins left then we can cut loose if we want but it will be no use.  Best wait until after the game.

What about that huge one next to the M6 by the Bescot Stadium or better still hire the Goodyear Blimp or small aircraft with banner.

Completely with you. I doubt that'll be the reality of what happens though.

Maybe it won't. But it has more chance than singing "fuck off McLeish, the Villa is ours" for 90 minutes.

I'd like to think people will channel their energy into supporting the team.  Everyone knows how we feel about the situation - fans, media the lot.  We don't need to tell them again, let's just get behind the team and see what we can achieve.  It would be great to play a part in getting the results we need, surely?

After seeing that the top ten posts on the forum are all Anti-McLeish posts, I am completely shocked that no one wanted this job over the 2011 summer...

And if McLeish were to be gone tomorrow, I would be just as shocked when no one else wanted it for 2012-2013

I still think Randy's getting away too lightly, As has already been said on this topic. Everyone knows how we feel about the manager, didn't want him, not good enough etc.

Time to remind our owner that the buck has to stop with him.


"You fucked us right up, You fucked us right uuuuuppp"
"Well done Randy, You fucked us right up"
