dazzyg, do you have an inability to keep your posts in one place or are you such a space cadet that your mind is that fragmented?

Nobody said you had to love the bloke. There's a comfortable middle ground of giving him a chance which you have refused to do. When enough people tell you you're talking utter bollocks, it means in layman's terms it means "you're talking bollocks". That doesn't just go for the threads that you have polluted but life in general. Your joy is coming on here and beating your chest whenever we lose. Like it's some fucking badge of honour that in some perverse way, you consider yourself validated. Instead, you just make yourself out to be sadder and more pathetic than you were the previous time you posted.

You're entire platform is based on the fact that he managed Birmingham, and you have completely ignored the fact that he's had a number of issues to deal with at the club stemming from MON and Houllier leaving, and the club deciding to tighten the purse strings. Nobody, to my knowledge has given him a free pass. Even those like myself have been critical at times, but generally accept that there is a lot of work to be done and he has a tough road ahead of him. You on the other hand, have given him no chance at all. You've also dismissed the challenges that we have in several kids coming through trying to make their way at the highest level of the English game in trying circumstances. That in many respects they are being forced to play because we don't at this time have significant other options.

McLeish is going be here for a while, so better get used to it. The club isn't going to fire him however much foot stamping you do, or tantrums you throw, or protests you plan. It's going to be difficult enough for all of us to see this process through, so for those of you who completely hate the man, you're going to have tough it out. You're much better off getting to a place mentally that you can accept that he's OUR manager, of OUR club.

People like you make me want to support Alex McLeish all the more.

Oh dear ... the rot continues I see. I bet all the AM fan club were getting ready to give me a griling on here today
Yes dazzyg,when the second goal went in and I was jumping round going mental with 5199 other Villa fans,you were the first person I thought of  ::)

I knew it ! you were preparing your replies to my fantastic comments on this site. But then what happened ? Yes Am f**ked up again and we lost (again) I pity you having any faith in him.

did you compliment McLeish at HT when we led 2-0? Did you criticise Dunne and Bent for giving away two terrible penalties, or have you come to the conclusion that McLeish through some form of telepathy, made them make schoolboy errors despite being regular international footballers? It is clear to literally everyone on here that you simply cannot contain yourself each time we lose. Some fan you are.

Well maybe if we won and played well then I could not have a dig could I ?but lets just take a look at the table are we safe? No we are not are we playing entertaining football? no were not.
Please try and come back with something that makes sense rather than just waving that sorry old banner of " we love alex" WE DONT ! Just because you have an afinity for the ginger one doesnt mean we all have to. Loving the manager does not mean that you love the club anymore than a fan who doesn't want him in charge. Do you understand? Have you got problems understanding these simple facts?

I think you are getting overexcited Darren. Have a lie down in a darkened room.

Oh dear ... the rot continues I see. I bet all the AM fan club were getting ready to give me a griling on here today until that is we totally threw away a 2-0 lead. What type of bloke is he? On Radio WM last night he said"WE PLAYED LIKE A TEAM OF INTERNATIONALS DURING THE FIRST HALF" yes Alex and we played like a team from the Blue Square Premier in the second half. Get a grip man the team are playing crap and no one can anything different. Let's not hide behind the bleeding smoke screen any more.

Where, or what, were you before Alex McLeish came to the club?

In reply to Dave McLark Five  - Sorry who are you by the way? I was a happy Villa fan

You have never been happy on this site.
Here is one of your earlier posts that is almost normal, certainly not as demented as you are now:

For those fans going to Stamford Bridge on Sunday (me being one of them) we need to start letting Houllier know that we are not happy it's ok to applaud the players but even they don't give a s**t they
can't be bothered to even come over to us and say thanks for the loyal support.


On second thoughts, it wasn't really normal at all.
As for me. I have had plenty of angry moments on here and hated O'Neill after a while. I got plenty of stick for it. O'Neill went. I calmed down eventually.
We are now into a new regime. I give the new bloke a chance, like I did with Houllier.
You, on the other hand, do nothing of the sort. You are a rabble rouser and give nobody a chance. Fortunately, the rabble aren't listening to you, whoever they are.

I dont know much about this Dazzyg bloke but it would be interesting to hear which manager he would like and if he would have a negative attitude towards him if he was doing the exact same job as Eck at the moment?

dazzyg, ignore all these horrible nasty people picking on you. When I log onto H&V I look forward to your insightful comments on the direction our club is taking. If it wasn't for people like you coming on here and telling it like it is we would all be thinking that AM is a decent man and doing a difficult job under trying circumstances. Thankfully there are people like you around that can speak the truth, and that it's the fact that he once managed SHA added to which he is Scottish that makes the man totally unsuited to be manager of Aston Villa Football Club.

What's a villa fan doing in bleeding Sheffield you already have two teams up there is two not enough?

He might come from Birmingham? Or perhaps has family from Birmingham?

(are you all thick up north or what)...

...SIMPLES

Irony.

I know I'm on the wrong thread, but anyone who explains something and then adds 'simples' at the end ought to be put into room 101. Either that or killed on the spot. It is the expression of a moron. And yes, dazzy, the shoe does indeed fit.

Well, there we go. At least one positive to Villa losing. It made dazzyg happy. Because he's such a great Villa supporter that he actively wants them to lose.

Ah the Sheffield Villain has poked his head up again ! What's a villa fan doing in bleeding Sheffield you already have two teams up there is two not enough?
Anyway back to the story......what makes you think I want my beloved team to lose you muppet? I love my team and alwats want us to win otherwise why I would be paying over £600 quid for a season ticket (are you all thick up north or what) where on here did i ever say I wanted us to lose? My point as it always is AM is not the man for us - SIMPLES !
Sorry for repeating myself, although it is something that you monotonously do, but can you enlighten me in which part of the ground you paid over £600 for your season ticket please?

It's almost like he's making it up. Never mind TRS-T, I think we've got a bluenose troll right here.

In fairness to TRS-T, he's never gone around abusing other villa fans the same way that twattyg has.

Precisely. At the risk of sounding like a 'pwopa nawty' bell-end, you should never turn on your own.

Unless they're like dazzyg, obv :D

Of course, but he has been fairly abusive towards people on here. Look at his reply to SheffieldVillain on the previous page for instance.
