Anybody heard any post match Mcleish reaction yet ?
No doubt it will be the usual garbage we are used to, just like the garbage we are used to having served up on the pitch week in week out.

If this clown sticks around,how long will it take for the young players to lose all their good habits that they've picked up from Kev Mac and Sid ?  The slow passing and lack of movement was frightening,Gab has lost all self belief,doesn't even use his pace anymore.

For once,id love to know what El Presidente thinks of all this? He'd never put up with these repeated performances.

How did Stephen Ireland not get a run with Houllier?

He plays decent football, actual football.

Some posters have been suggesting they have it on the inside track that McLeish will be gone.

I'm clinging to that as the one glimmer of hope we have.

Down next season otherwise.

Ive heard this too but if they are going to boot him out then why not do it now?
The fans and club would be lifted by his departure and kev mac and sid know these players well and woild be able to hold the fort for the final 5 games.

Aston Villa boss Alex McLeish's view of Ashley Young's penalty: It was a soft penalty because Ciaran Clark has tried to pull his foot away and Ashley Young has gone looking for his leg, he won a penalty that I don't think it was derserved."

Just heard him on GOLD on how it wasnt a penalty, how proud he is of the kids, how he thought we did OK against a far superior team, how he thinks we will get 6 points from our remaining fixtures, how he zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I live in hope.
That is all I got.

*to the tune of London Bridge is falling down*

Ashley Young is falling down, falling down, falling down. Ashley Young is falling down, oh look a penalty.

Now Dwight Yorke thinks we can't win any other games!

I would not be remotely surprised if we didn't. We have a manager who genuinely manages to look like he doesn't want to win games. He plays for a point.

Although for some reason some fans seem alright with this. It isn't whinging fans being negative for the sake of it, we truly are terrible and Mcleish needs to go. If he doesn't we are gone next year, I don't think I could handle another season of these 'performances'.
