AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

[PeterWithe]

Baker was the player most at fault, whether it was wise to say so publicly is questionable.

[ozzjim]

No, I agree, although the two senior players in front of him withdrew from it, and he took their lead I think.

[TheSandman]

I thought Baker played quite well today. Nice of him to single out a young player though.

"The young lions have come to the Theatre of Dreams, the champions, a world-class club side playing against people like Scholes thinking can we get close to them, can we stop them playing?


He really is the reincarnate of DOL.  I've never heard a Manager use the terms 'Theatre of Dreams' before and I hope I never do again.   

If he has a future at VP then we have no future in the PL.

Haha. That's a good one. For a moment there i thought that was a genuine quote! You were joking right?

[Legion]

Unfortunately not.

[Irish villain]

Unfortunately not.

Oh dear. Truth is stranger than fiction. That is truly appalling.

Afraid he wasn't.

I'm surprised Randy wasn't there today, I thought he'd like to get a group photo taken of him, Feckin' Eck and Sir Alex. Maybe Fergie would give the pair of them autographs afterwards, and a match ball signed by The Champions.

Do you think?  If he’d have gone for it, the likelihood is it would have been an own goal, whereas Collins was in front of the near post so any decent contact = a corner.  He may have had a shout from Given though.  Who knows.

The thing is I do not know what on earth goes on in training. We just don't seem to be getting better in any area. I definitely don't want us to go down, but part of me wants Wigan and one other overtake us. Just so we survive, maybe then Randy will get the message. But I dont think he will

[PeterWithe]

No, I agree, although the two senior players in front of him withdrew from it, and he took their lead I think.

I saw it as the cross evading Hutton and Collins but Baker seemed to purposely leave it, perhaps he didn't see the guy behind him or was concerned about an OG.

Dixon just said mcleish is doing a good job. That's reassured me I'm off to sleep well tonight.

[PaulMcGrathsNo5Shirt]

Serious thought... Do you think McLeish is actually trying to get himself the sack? Surely he knows he's making a right pigs ear of the job and he'll know how the comments went down last year when Houllier had his Liverpool love in, he'll get nothing for walking out on his £2m a year contract but if he's sacked he'll get a pay off.

That's why I've watched MOTD about three times this season.

[ozzjim]

The lack of realism pundits have with fans is incredible, and they go out of their way to protect each other. I would love to know what he thinks Eck is doing a good job at!
