    WORST ever home record in our long history

    Equalled the most ever draws in PL history

    FIRST ever team to not score from a corner all season

    WORST ever PL points total for AVFC

    LOWEST number of PL wins, could be the lowest number ever

But hey guys, it's because he's from the Blues, right?

Who gives a fuck what Birmingham City supporters think?  They can barely string a proper sentence together!  Just get this idiot sacked, away from our club, take his club car back and burn it. He has no future at Villa.  Don't bottle it Lerner, sack him.
can I have his car please, burning it seems a bit of a waste.

Of course you can sir.  He won't be needing it will he? I apologise for my wastefulness.

Lerner can piss off too! McLeish achieved everything the man wanted. Players out, wages reduced and retention of PL status, just. I know where the blame truly lies and if he does nothing to improve matters then the focus should squarely be turned on him! Football is not like any other business unless you start treating as such; then it stagnates. A Manure mate is lambasting the Glaziers for exactly the same style of management but I shant be distracted by those details.
New blood all round is the way forward for us!

Here's the real dirt you need:
- Win ratio of 18.5% for the EPL season.
- Worst points haul since 1986-7.
- Highest number of draws in the division: 33% more than the next team (Sunderland).
- Highest number of draws in a season since 1975-6.
 - Lowest number of goals-scored in the bottom 6 clubs (and only surpassed by Stoke in the whole division).
- Lowest number of goals scored in a season since 1969-70.
- Worst record in the league for losing from winning positions – 22 points lost.
- Conceded more from set pieces than any other team.
- The only EPL team not to score from a corner all season.
- Villa's worst-ever league home record.
- VP crowds down by 9% this season.

On this basis, McLeish should leave the club tonight.

Mods - please can we have a poll added as to when - and if - the axe will fall.

For what its worth, I reckon Randy 'The Procrastinator' Lerner will do it only when we have had a shocking start to next season - and just as the transfer window closes...

I also think will be at Villa Park in August.  I'm sure of it.
