[Steve67]

We are Aston Villa.  We used to be famous but now we are half arsed.

[Fergal]

I was prepared to give him a go, but I can't take it anymore.  We have fallen so far in the last 2 years that I don't know whether to laugh or cry.  We need to sack McLeish and hire a young, up and coming coach like Lambert to turn the ship around.  Get rid of the deadwood (Heskey/Warnock to start) and build a future around our young players like Clark, Gardner etc.

[Moorski]

The thing is he says that people expected us to win at Arsenal,he goes on to say that they are an elite club and we have to be realistic! when asked by a BBC reporter is we can beat any of Chelsea,Liverpool,Man Utd, Spurs who we have yet to play he says they are beatable !! Playing like the way we do,I don't think so Alex!!!

The Future of Alex McLeish?

knocking back a case of Don Perignon with David Sullivan and company following a relegation, a sacking and a few million quid in his bank, followed by a taking of the Rangers or Aberdeen job.

[Fergal]

He has to go he is sucking the life out of the club.
I really wanted him to win us over and be a success, not because of where he came from but because he is not a very good manager.

[supertom]

Just when you think he's turned a corner, he goes and puts Heskey on the fucking pitch! Why? He's gone (if there's a god) in the summer, and we need to build for the future, so why did he not play Weimann or Bannan? Fecking hell. What did Emile offer for 60 minutes? When a manager actually states that a player can only play for 60 minutes now, then surely at the top level, said player is finished. I don't care who it is. You have to have the legs to last 90 in this league. I know we say Stan breaths out his arse after 60 minutes, but he still lasts the pace. Heskey you get the impression would literally seize up and collapse. His knees or back would just give out if he stayed 5 minutes too long. He's fucking done. He's not even Championship standard anymore. Get him out to the MLS or let him bow out in the lower leagues FFS.

The guy's an idiot. If Randy's got any sense he'll fuck McLeish off.

And you're know what else? We're not home and dry yet! Pathetic. Why do the players not take some initiative either? Are footballers that thick as pig shit that they can't pass and move and actually push forward without someone telling them too?

When someone from a BBC radio station says Heskey was a joke and is playing down to his retirement. It must of been bad!

Didn't see the game though, not even watched the highlights. After reading the comments on here I couldn't be bothered.

I've been out the last few weekends, so I've either caught repeats of the matches or watched the highlights. This week, I think I'll save myself the headache like yourself mate. It's too nice a day for that.

[TheSandman]

Worse than O'Leary.

[ez]

Its terrible really. I'm not saying its without justification but I've never known a villa manager to be derided by the clubs own fans as much as McLeish is. We're into new territory here.

[villa for life]

still doing better than Houllier, though. He had both Downing and Young and yet at this time last season, we were in the same position.
