Arsenal v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Matt C]

One-off performances aren't unforgiveable  but looking beaten before you kick-off is.

McLeish is going nowhere so a case, I'm afraid, of muddling through until the summer and replacing some of the senior players who look far too comfortable just to pick up a salary with hungry players who want to play for Aston Villa.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

Did he not learn from the home game? We tried to win that game and, even though we lost, the fans can accept that. This was pathetic.

Just fed up now, fed up of the club becoming a laughing stock, fed up of knowing the result before it happens, fed up of not being excited about watching the club I love play, I want my Aston Villa back, the team I loved going to Villa Park to watch, the team I knew were going to go out and give there all, because like me they lived for the club.

[Villanation]

Others are getting some momentum. We could end up in the shit yet.

Robbie Savage made a good case a while back in his prediction that Villa will be the surprise relegation, I thought at the time he made a good point, regardless of who he's played for, and I still think the same, Villa are playing the worst football in the division, we are truly playing like a relegation side.

Correct - it ain't over yet.

At least the bloke reading the scores on Final Score gave the result as 3-1. He must have felt sorry for us. But why does he read them like it's a reality show. Sounds like he's straining for a dump everytime he says the score. 

[mrfuse]

well might as well make a poignant statement being as this is my 1000 post....Fuck off McLeish

[lovejoy]

Calm down. What we're we realistically expecting. Win the targeted games. That is our lot now.

  Much as i'm not a McL fan, you can't blame him for Gabby being shite, Petrov trult woeful, and Albrighton frightened.

  Gabby needs to go for me.I can't remember the last time he played well tbh, and he certainly does'nt put a shift in.

  Only positives for me were Ireland, Collins, Carlos apart from the goal was ok.Gardener and Weimann put some effort in when they came on, but we don't keep the ball well enough, and have too many lazy players.

Every time this season he has had something, no matter how tenuous, but something to build on, he has fucked it up.

That comment about picking Heskey every time we play someone in the top ten is absolutely spot on, too.

The guy is a coward, and totally not up to the job, I'm afraid. Sadly, the same goes for the chairman, so we are stuck with it.

[Chris Jameson]

I understand Heskey started today.

How well did he play? He is ace.

I blame McLeish for the tactics and the football.

Both are fucking abysmal.

His misses told me he's suffering from piles.

If relegation gets rid of this ginger vermin then so be it. The club is a laughing stock top to bottom.

Yep he shoots himself in the face all the time. Heskey, fucking Heskey. Our board and manager are about as incompetent as it gets.
