Banana -> Banana Split.

It's a H&V word joke.

*suspicious facial expression*

Ah, you were all joking. Why not say so then? I'm sure I wasn't the only one to be confused.

You and somebody else who shares the same initials I would say.

Was this not a banana split joke?

It was. Not a very good one apparently

a lot of twitter 'ITKs' claiming the Board is going to fight off the protests and see out McLeish's contract. Mind you it's twitter, and could easily be a wind up for Sundays organized protests. Heads would roll if he stays on board.

Keeping him would be idiocy on an unprecedented scale.

There will be a half empty stadium if he is still there.

There's backing your opinion and then there's cutting your nose off to spite your face.  Keeping McLeish definitely falls in the latter category, if not for football reasons then surely for commercial ones.

Absolutely the only reason the fans have calmed a bit is because we think on the whole that he's going. He will never ever succeed at Aston Villa, and he has given us plenty of evidence of this all season. He has to go.

Crowds and sales down, as well as the team next season if he stays.

Our Board has shown it has this in bundles!

I really can't see him being here next season. A mate of mine has had 3 calls off VP since Friday (he missed the first two but manage to answer the third today) so i presume ST sales are slow at the moment and i can't see them being any better if he's still here.

I doubt it'll be that full tbh!
