Looks like they have taken up sucking cock to try and keep us calm.At least they have made a statement.I can think of a better statement though.

Club statement just out from Lerner and Faulkner

Right now everyone connected with Villa is hurting badly.

A win was in sight last night against Bolton after a strong start and the tenacity the team displayed, although ultimately we weren’t able to hold on for the points.

We very openly acknowledge the frustrations of Villa fans and share in them completely.

What matters to us and the Board at this moment is how we, as a Club, handle adversity and the pressure it brings.

Our horizon is the next three games and we continue to be in control of our own destiny.

Young players side-by-side with more senior players are fighting hard for the Club.

They are now preparing for West Brom followed by Spurs and Norwich.

We will continue to support and rely on our manager and the squad and therefore give them our full support.

We are totally conscious, as is everyone at the Club, that this is a very trying time for those who love Aston Villa.

We know that the team will continue to fight through every minute of the remaining games and we hope Villa fans will continue to show their great support.

Stable door open, horse already fucked off.

saying 'we've all got to rally around' is the only thing that they can say - though it also shifts the blame to the fans as though we're the problem not the clueless manager and the players who can't take any responsibility for themselves.

we're faced with 4 scenarios
- stay up, McLeish stays
- stay up, McLeish sacked
- relegated, McLeish stays
- relegated, McLeish sacked

only one of them is a positive scenario... god help us

AM said he was the most disappointed man in the ground yesterday.

Like bollocks he was.

That statement is another nail in his coffin.  He is more disappointed than someone who has paid hard earned cash and supported The Villa all their life.
Fuck off and stop insulting us.
Sack AM and put someone in charge who gives a shit.

Talksport was ok until just now - a Dingle has managed to find a phone box

[Ad@m]

"If he won them ten in a row, they'd moan about the eleventh" is somewhat pointless and facile when you consider we're staring at our worst home season since 1890-91.

Maybe that's what we're bothered about, Stan?

I think you're wrong there Paulie.  It's our worst home season ever as in 1890-91 we won 5 at home.

From only 11 matches.

You know what, this is the response that has been in my head all day.
Fucking top post!

[VILLA MOLE]

I'm surprised SVC is not being more critical. Maybe having his own collumn in the matchday programme has something to do with it.

he is a parady of a journalist along with Robbie Savage I do not know how they get the work 

[Bad English]

Next Villa statement:

"There are no Scottish infidels in Villa Park. Never!"

"My feelings - as usual - we will slaughter them all"

"Our initial assessment is that they will all go down"

"I blame injuries - they are marketing for the Americans!"

"God will roast their stomachs in hell at the hands of Villains."

"Spurs are coming to surrender or be burned with Tom Hanks."

"No I am not scared, and neither should you be!"

"Be assured. Villa Park is safe, protected"

"Who are in control, we are not in control of anything - we don't even control ourselves!"

"We are not afraid of the Wanderers.  Allah has condemned them.  They are stupid.  They are stupid" (dramatic pause) "and they are condemned."

I don't think that suggests they're looking beyond those three games. So Mcleish might be here for the next three games, but I don't believe it says he's safe beyond that.

[TheEgo]

Surely that statement alludes to purely the next three games? "our horizon is the next three games" reads to me like there saying, get behind the team until the end of the season and then we will do something about it "We very openly acknowledge the frustrations of Villa fans and share in them completely" surely means, were as fed up as you, but sacking the manager now will only further increase the unrest for the players etc. You can but hope.....

[PaulWinch again]

Also reading it further and I am clutching at straws. 'Our horizon is the next three games', so their support is for those 3 games. Also 'we openly acknowledge the frustrations of Villa fans and share in them completely.' That would imply they are frustrated with Mcleish.

[VillaAlways]

There's a Liverpool fan on TS at the moment who has the cheek to say that we should be supporting the manager Saggers had to remind him about Roy Hodgson
