Great. I'd have preferred to have lost at Klanfield then won tonight. Three points are better than two.

Obviously, I'd have liked to have won both.

I dont mind being shit or being lower down the table, I mind the fact it's depressing. At least Wigan do being shit whilst being entertaining and provide some excitement FFS. I hate the fucker, I really do.

"I couldn't fault any man at all for the effort they gave. Sometimes the quality can be the only thing that's missing, but at least the effort was top drawer."

I just don't see how it will ever work..
It never will and the sooner the owner accepts it the better.

It is still 1 home win in near on 6 months though, which is not just bad, it is sackable with no room for recourse. I can't for the life of me ever seeing the man being accepted. It is flogging a dead horse.

At one stage today, 7 of our 11 were home grown. This is the most positive thing going on in the club right now.
Do we really want McLeish in charge of their future development as these kids try to establish themselves ? Who would be the best candidiate to bring the very best out of this crop of players we have ?

How many more people are we going to lose next season through having to watch this tripe? Like it or not, football is entertainment, and people and going to throw £40.00 away every couple off weeks just to watch this garbage. I expect next years average gate to be around 25,000 next season if this carries on.

Once again the Villa faithfull have been amazingly lenient towards him, yet the media bang on as if he's crucified every home game.

Looks like we're in a mini-league of one.  Not good enough for a mid-table battle with the likes of Norwich and Fulham, not quite shit enough for relegation.

I'm not a fan of the late, much missed Princess Margaret. She did however once utter words, in a critical manner, to the effect that something/someone is or is not unique. There are no degrees of uniqueness.
