Are We Alex McLeish's Claret & Blue Army Now?

[Toronto Villa]

First I have heard of it but well done to the people who have arranged it.........

and you don't think that that might have a negative affect on the team, when we need points and everyone pulling in the same direction? Yes, well done indeed to those of you who are dying to see him fail.

Maybe dazzy would prefer to see Villa relegated than to have them stay up with Mcleish still in charge?

Or perhaps he sees that we are conceding to many silly goals without scoring many ourselves which may ultimately contribute to us being relegated this season?  Definately problems with Ecks tactics/methods/training as its getting beyond a joke now.

I remember a rendition of "big fat ron's claret n blue army" that went on during the whole of half time during an away game at the Baseball Ground

I just can't get motivated to shout for McL yet

Pah! Just for halftime

Everton Away 89/90 - whole of half time and all the second half
Liverpool FA Cup away 91/92 - whole of half time and quite a bit of the second half

There are tales of 2 blokes doing this for the whole game including half time at some long forgotten away game in the early 90's but i wasn't there so it may just be an "old wives tale".

Half-time and through much of the second half. Derby 1990. it was Joszef Venglos' then.

Remeber it well.

You agree with dazzy that we should be demonstrating and chanting for Mcleish's sacking now then?

Putting words into my mouth. I'd love to see him succeed. But as things stand he isnt and won't. If Dazzy wants a protest then it's up to him. I'm just equally fed up of everyone painting a rosie picture of Eck as much as those who hate him. There rarely seems any balance and everyone is more interested in I silting and ganging up on each other. The site just doesn't feel as fun and as friendly as it used to.

[Dave Cooper please]

I can probably count on the fingers of one hand the amount of posts (never mind posters) which are painting a rosy picture of McLeish!
There are people saying give him more time, others saying he is doing okay given the constraints put on him by the board and some saying that they have seen small improvements in the past few performances (Swansea excepted). But there is no 'praising of Eck to the skies' to counterbalance the rabid hatred spewing from the keyboards of DJ Jazzy G and others. None at all.

[dazzyg]

Not sure if mentioned, but it seems since the Swansea game there has been a 'protest' organised. The organiser has spent £100 on spray paint for his bed sheet by the sounds of it.


But we didn't beat Rovers by 6 or 7 did we!!!! The pressure is now on AM ............... 

LONG LIVE THE VILLA  - VILLA TILL  I DIE...............
Here's your link

Sorry for capitals but I quote... MARCH WILL START FROM ASTON HOTEL WITTON ISLAND AT 2PM WE WILL MARCH AROUND THE GROUND FINISHING OUTSIDE THE VILLA VILLAGE. PLEASE BRING BANNERS AND FLAGS AS WE EXPECT MEDIA.

So we're going to be an even bigger laughing stock in the media for a days after this then. Great!

By media I think he means his mates blog.

Brilliant.

I really hope even more now that we turn Rovers over about 6 or 7 nil, followed by a good win against Everton. They would look twice as ridiculous before, during AND after the protest that way.

Is the 2 o'clock at Witton Island protest connected with the 2.45 on Trinity Road one?

[The Laughing Policeman]

The word is that the Trinity Rd. people are the splitters who can't agree on the proper spelling of McLeish.

The one good thing that might become of this 'pot noodle protest' is that for every positive there has to be a negative.  Likewise, for every negative there must be a positive.  That might mean the true supporters of the club actually get behind the manager and we hear the first rendition of AM's claret and blue army.

It's pretty rare I'm embarrassed to be a Villa fan but I fear that this Saturday I might be...

somebody has to be brave enough to start it. The game will dictate the mood, as much as it would be helpful if the mood helped dictate the game.

I'm sure that my fellow inhabitants of L1 would be happy to oblige, but getting it to spread to the whole of the Holte has been a problem this season.
Altogether now...........AM's Claret And Blue Army, AM's Claret And Blue Army, AM's Claret And Blue Army............

I suggest they hold it in the city centre between 3pm and 5pm. The presence of any of these clowns in the ground cannot be beneficial to the team.
