I wouldn't put money on that at the moment achilles.

[Fergal]

I can't see where the next goal is coming from let alone the next win.

[PaulWinch again]

We are definitely in trouble, I don't see how anyone can say we're not.

[Monty]

On today's evidence, I'm really not sure there are three teams worse than us. This is getting really, really worrying.

I think we can safely rule out from a corner.

Troubled, yes
Doomed, no

McLeish needs to change the shape around.  We could play another 5 games and not score a goal (let alone 2).

Let's face it we can blame McLeish for a lot of things but as for swapping it now? I doubt that would make much difference, Lerner has fucked Villa over this season and unfortunately for him we weren't lucky enough to go all season without an injury.

Since Bent got injured we have carried no goal threat at all. With us not creating many, at least he had got 10 this season. We just look totally toothless, and worryingly have most of our creative players out there short of Nzogbia.

I agree, whilst you cant blame AM for the state of the squad you can blame him for some of the shit served up this year.  A half decent manager would have had us easily safe by now.

Faith (and a massive bit of hope)!

Bolton equalise

[paul_e]

This ref is taking the piss, nothing 50-50 has gone our way all day, and there have been a couple decision that he's just clearly got wrong.

Lichaj on Mata there for example was never a foul, but a chelsea player fell over so the whistle went.

[Toronto Villa]

What's concerning as a club is that there have been too many games like this where the opposition haven't even been tested. This week and last are examples where we haven't had enough of anything to trouble the other team. That is when relegation happens.

[ozzjim]

If Lee Mason was pointing his chubby little finger like that at me I would tell him where to shove it. Really dislike the one sided knob head.

[timeoutbigbar]

I don't much like that fat fucker in yellow.
