Relegation Possibility

[claret and blue blood]

just think how many Villa fans haven't seen us win at home at all this season if they either missed those 4 games or left early as in the Fulham game, that stat confirms why I can't remember a worse season and I've been to most home games since 1967.

by the look of things there is no way we are going to pick up more than maybe another one or two points

Just like there was no way we were going to get any points from our last two games?

If we get relegated this year, not only should Mcleish be sacked on the spot, but I also think that for his own safety he should never ever return to the West Midlands ever again! Has a manager ever had a worse managerial record? If the worst comes to the worst how could he ever work in football again with a track record of relegating the city's two teams three times in total. Even if we don't go down his record is so grim, he literally has become the grim reaper of football.  He's like a footballing plague! Sorry I'm ranting now! I just can't think of anything positive to say about him. Just want the pain to end!!!!
UTV.

I wouldn't call given a bargain when he's earning 60k a week for 5 years. that's 15m outlay. thought his fee was 5m as well?

We need 3 more points,

So assuming we lose at Man U, that 3 draws in the last 5 games.
McLeish must work even harder to instill the fear of losing in the team, so we do indeed lose just two of the last five.

The thing that keeps bothering me (all year nearly) is I seem to remember that Blose were similarly looking safe or at least very unlikely to go down and had about the worse finish possible before they did go down.
That was probably their best team for a decade too-so it was quite a feat to get them relegated.

Without a doubt, he will act all I am if we stay up on the final day. The reality is he should be given his marching orders within 20 minutes of the final whistle at carrow road. Paul Faulkner should be doing his homework now on the next man in.

Judging by how satisfied he looked after we scraped past Fulham the other week, then I am certain he will extremely pleased with himself if such events happen on the final day. 

That is no where near as shocking as his thumbs up and punching the air after achieving the heroic home draw against Stoke.

That was horrific.

His salute to the executive seats reminded me of a previous manager of ours.

Yep, it's nightmarish. I can't wait till we get beat by Charlton in the LC next season and McLeish bemoans how we can't compete with the likes of them.

Yes, I remember O'Leary doing it, but at least it was after a victory against The Dog shit.

As various posters have said, if we stay up he'll be telling us what a genius he is.

He really is a pisstaker of the first order.

McLeish celebrating after a home draw with Stoke gave me a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.  Especially after we'd been winning.  The utter ******.

Yes, they didn't looklike they could go down. To be honest, being from Ireland the Blues rivalry doesn't mean a whole lot to me. I just assumed they were safe until near the end of the season. The first I realised that they could go down was when somebody posted a link to the clip of villa fans at the Emirates singing 'Going uo, going down'. I was amazed that they had got sucked in.

It surely is a rare skill to take a good squad, capable of mid table, and relegate them! How much more rare and amazing to relegate two clubs with decent squads in successive years......, it is a quality much to be........................ despised! A bloke with any conscience would resign, but there is faint hope of that.

Depends which Charlton, bet Bobby has still got a shot on him but if it's Jackie then he really is taking the piss if he thinks we can't compete with him.

I think he'll settle for a low scoring defeat at Old Trafford rather than chase an equaliser. Wonder if he'll celebrate that and give a thumbs up to his imaginary friend.
