Wigan Athletic v Aston Villa Match Thread

[Fergal]

Fuck me.  Bent off on a stretcher, we are fucked proper up the arse greased up and penetrated fucked.

[boboonthecorner]

I cannot put into words how much anger I feel towards Randy Lerner for employing this clueless fucking dickhead as our manager.........

[PaulWinch again]

Bent is fucked.

[Tuscans]

All these subs way too late

[Compass]

We are fucked.

[pauliewalnuts]

And with that substitution Mcleish should be sacked. The clueless fuckwit.

He has about 20 minutes to save his job. Already the Villa fans are singing "You don't know what you're doing".

No he doesn't.

Lerner thinks he's doing a good job - good job meaning "prepared to get the wage bill down, nothing else matters"

The thing that worries me the most about this whole situation is precisely that - that Lerner thinks things are ok.

[Chris_Jephcott]

N'Zogbia to come on, Heskey and Agbonlahor to go upfront...

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Looks like Bent got his studs caught in the turf and badly twisted his ankle/knee.

[berneboy]

Bent out for yonks sadly.

Right, we're going down.

[Irish villain]

Will the happy clappers now appreciate that we are well and truly in a Relegation dogfight? We should have had more points on the board by now. We should never be depending on finishing a season strong because injuries do happen.

Fuck fuck fuck

[NeilH]

Of course Lerner thinks we're doing ok. We're not losing and we're cutting costs. I'd say that Lerner's very satisfied, not that he's watching

[adamski villa]

see, McClown is a tactical genius, he knew Benty would get injured and had Emile on the pitch ready

[Fergal]

Should we reset the poll on whether the Should AM be sacked thread?
Surely after this display and looking at his tactics and decisions any support for him must be dwindling?

[PeterWithesShin]

So as usual we don't try and go for it until the last 10 mins or so. Alex, we're playing fucking Wigan. Not Barcelona, fucking WIGAN. They are shit and you seem terrified of trying to win the game until the death.

[themossman]

Come on then gabby time to step up.
