Seeing as how Lerner will be gracing Villa Park with his presence for the Arsenal game, I think protests should be focused on him.

I wouldn't say they are needed, personally.  The state of the club will be played right in front of his face.

Good post Ozz

I dont expect Villa to win every game , I have never done since my first game .

But at least I would like to see the players try and be interested and try and entertain me at least a little bit .

Just done the predictor covering the next 3 games...we will be 12th-14th depending on the results of other games. Worst case scenario is 15th if Sunderland pick up more points than expected.
You're welcome to look through tinted glasses at our performances and results,

What are you wearing then? Blinkers?
Nope...I'm not even wearing shades! How about you try the predictor yourself and see what positions you come up?

Yep this, we know football has gone crazy and we cant compete with United, Chelsea, City financially but its not an excuse to go into games against united, Liverpool and Spurs with a defeatist attitude!

All fans want is passion pride and commitment If Villa players show it then the fans respond accordingly

Randy Lerner are you listening, to the song we're singing, you're taking us down, with this bluenose clown, so both get the fuck out of town....

Indeed. If Hutton had gone through Downing last week, they would have been shouting 'encore'.
A good barometer of crowd satisfaction was when the old wooden seats in the Trinity used to rumble. An indicator of displeasure was the slow hand clap. Where did that go?

For those who want McLeish out, who REALISTICALLY is going to replace him? Remember a relative nobody like Roberto Martinez wasn't even interested in being interviewed!

McLeish is a terrible manager who should never have been appointed.  His tenure is turning out exactly as 99.9% of people thought it would, so you can't blame people for wanting a poor manager who nobody wanted in the first place, who is serving up awful football to be dispensed with.

It will kick off soon enough. The ABAM brigade have been biding their time since the start of the season. They couldn't get him out then because a)Lerner would have looked a plonker if he'd sacked a manager before he'd had a game and b) because their argument against AM wasn't based on anything logical, but performances and results are rapidly changing that.

He's onto a loser basically. Unfairly, he'd have to finish at least the same position as last season with a crappier squad to survive longer than May. And even if he managed that, it would all start again next season as soon as we had a few bad results

If we do end up in the 15th-16th area of the league come January then Lerner will have to decide whether to try and keep him on till the summer against the fan's wishes and then quietly let him go or make a switch in January. An unpleasant decision for Lerner to make either way, but seeing its totally his own fault, i haven't much sympathy for him.

Perfect summing up of things gnasher!

The argument against McLeish wasn't based on anything logical???????????????
Track record is perfectly logical to me and even the blind can see that now surely.

Yeah, I agree, but a) Who the fuck would come in and b) our problems are bigger than changing the manager.

Alot of people could see this when McLeish was appointed. We had the big debate, decided we support "The Villa" and to get behind the team and give McLeish a chance. Worryingly all is turning out as expected. How long do you support the bloke for? I really wonder what happens in training and would love to hear what Sid Cowans makes of it all. I'm left just shaking my head watching Villa this season.
