Aston Villa v Bolton Wanderers Post-Match Thread

[PaulWinch again]

Finger crossed its the sack

Pointless him being there now

Apt phrasing.

[Chipsticks]

On a brighter note, all of the media attention will be on Chelsea now. Saved from extensive embarrassment.

Nice slip, Lobsterboy. 'Shit on target' must be what Eck heard Carson Yeung and Bluenoses instructing him to achieve.

Maybe Randy's finally remembered the dialling code for the UK, or has dusted off his video conferencing kit.  I very much doubt it however.

Ha ha, very funny. First laugh for a couple of hours.

He's probably googling around trying to find Windows 7 drivers for his 10 year old webcam, so he can put through a call to that useless manbaby Faulkner on Skype.

[clash city rocker]

A serious question. Will we have the team to come stright back up ?

[Toronto Villa]

I cannot believe how gutted I am right now. He needs to be fired tonight and I've given every bit of rope I have. He needs to go so that we have even a tiny chance of arresting this. Have some fucking balls Faulkner. Call Randy and fire him tonight.

No.

Dear Mr Lerner,

With reference to your letter of last August, do you still consider that McLeish is '....a very special football man' and 'a worthy and in fact uniquely good fit for our club'? And how did you fare 'managing your investments at Villa Park'? Did you 'manage the club for growth'? Did you achieve your target of being 'within range of a top 20 ranking among clubs in Europe by revenue'.

At the risk of repetition, what happened to the Proud History and Bright Future, Randy?

A serious question. Will we have the team to come stright back up ?

I think we probably would. We'd definitely lose the likes of N'Zogbia and Bent, but our squad is full of decent kids at the moment, almost all of which I don't see leaving if we go down.

[villanic]

What a disgrace. He has got to go tonight. I could not see us getting back in the game after they took the lead.

I jokingly said to a mate at the start of the season that we would need a result at Norwich, never thought it would happen though.

[Edvard Remberg]

He is on now.

"Ruthlessness lacking...." ...yeah from the board, not sacking you!

He didn't announce he is sacked

[Dave Cooper please]

With the right manager we wouldn't be far away with this team I reckon.

[Irish villain]

A serious question. Will we have the team to come stright back up ?

We'll probably lose Bent and Given and need to clear a few other big earners out. We would then be left with a youthful and inexperienced squad who would have potential. We'd need to add a few horses for courses to that. I don't know, the Marlon Harewoods of this world.....

Christ that's fucking depressing. I never thought my 5,000th post on Heroes & Villains would be so utterly negative, but so close to the bone at the same time ....

we had just as bad a squad when Sir Graham took over and he signed the right players to bring us back. One massive problem. Sir Graham isn't going to ride over the fill on a white horse any time soon. It really depends on who takes over but as things stand I very much doubt it. And you have to have to also factor the players who'll leave, and that will leave us fucked for a while.

[RonBurgundy]

Dam on 5live, he's still here. Blaming players. Understands the crowd reaction, he was the most frustrated in the ground, seems to be claiming the way we played in the last half hour was nothing to do with him.
