AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

[Risso]

Once again a team below us is showing us how to play.

The man we should have got instead of McDoughnut.

Except he turned us down.

Why on earth dose'nt he get his side playing like this earlier in the season, it's a bit puzzling.

Which is exactly why he would have been unwelcome here. We'd have loved him for the way he's got his team playing now, but been calling for him to go long before.

Of course.

Wigan's application against Man United, and thus far at Arsenal is admirable, but they've been beyond pathetic for most of the season.

I think for a team their size they're punching well above their weight.

What about Wigwam and their application from August?

Whilst this is true, it also shows up what a piss poor job McLeish has done to be just 4 points behind them.

Ahead, surely?

I think he will become the person that parents say their children will turn into if they don't eat their greens and try hard at school.

Yep my mistake, ooops.

[PaulWinch again]

You watching this game Mcleish you idiot? see what happens when a team attacks.

[PaulWinch again]

It's a sad state of affairs that Wigan have beaten Man Utd and Arsenal in the space of a week. We couldn't even dream of that with this clown in charge. Under Mcleish we are thoroughly embarrassing.

[OzVilla]

AML is right though, it appears other clubs really DO have a different agenda to us.  Particularly when it comes to playing insipid surrender football.

Wigan's performances recently aganist 'The Mighty Reds YNWA', Man Utd and Arsenal (were he raised the white flag and admitted as much) simply highlights it all the more.  That's 9 points they'll have taken while we'd already pre-accepted zero in the same fixtures.

[VillaAlways]

Randy should sack Mcleish on the spot after watching that

[OzVilla]

I doubt Randy watches our games anymore let alone someone else's.

[ozzjim]

Too true he should be gone. Faulkner must be the worst CEO in the premier league for still being behind Eck.

Re Wigan since August, the amount of times I have listened to the radio and heard the match reports saying Wigan dominated some games and could not finish off the chances they were creating.

[David_Nab]

I felt Martinez was wrong for us in the Summer ... regretting that now

See, for me the definition of competitive sport means a side should always give it a go.  Regardless of the amounts spent by the opposition, their calibre of player or their "different agenda."

But if we use McLeish's logic there to explain away defeats and not trying against better sides, why haven't we got maximum points against the likes of Stoke, Swansea and Wigwam?     We've spent more than them, have a better calibre of player than them ergo our agenda should be different to theirs.
