Aston Villa v Bolton Wanderers Post-Match Thread

5Live waiting for McLeish..."He is normally quicker down than this"..

Fingers crossed

Perhaps he's trying to impress the fans by bollocking the players for ages? Bit late for that.

Imagine the likely horror of being desperate for something at Norwich and seeing Delia's smug fat face as a perennial Premier League team gets relegated by her turkey breeding third division side. Lambert v McLeish. Enough to make you sectarian.

Far too many similarities with the blose of last term to be a surprise.  The man is absolute poison.  Shame on you for appointing him Randy.  Now do the decent thing and right your wrong.

Complete mirror image,I can only see us getting a point at best.

[Lobsterboy]

I don't see us sacking him until the end of the season and who knows had we not had sixty seconds of madness this evening we could have been all but safe

We're not though and we're where we are because we're shit, not because we're unlucky

Once they went ahead I don't recall us having a shit on target and sadly we look what I fear we will become - a Championship side

The only way we stay up is if those below us don't get the points to overhaul us as I can't see us getting another point

Phonecall to Fergie?   To ask what to do next?

Has he been interviewed yet?  Or is he on the phone to RL getting his marching orders?

Yeah. "You did everything I told you against all logic and then useless substitutions. It is your fault not mine."

The team seems far too nervous. Even when we are playing well, all of the players seem on edge and when they get a chance on goal and seem to shit their pants. When we went down tonight, we immediately switched to desperate long ball tactics, when what we needed was an experienced player to explain to the team that there was plenty of time left and the correct tactic was to get the ball on the floor and play football against what was a poor Bolton team.

The substitutions didn't help. They smacked of desperation, and only heightened the sense of doom throughout the team.

The fans don't help, and I feel we have more chance of picking up a couple of vital points away from home.

If I was Manager, I would hire a lapdancing club, and take the whole team out on the town to let what hair the team has left down, and get them all laid to release some of the tension. That's probably why I'm not Manager though!

No doubt now, we are deep in trouble, because I can see Bolton kicking on, and with the team in turmoil like tonight, I can only see the odd battling draw between now and the end of the season.

BTW, McCleish obviously has to go, but to do that now would be accepting definite relegation, as the last thing this team needs now is more desperate knee jerk reactions.

Soon, all the lot who went to the game will get home and on here.

Brace yourselves...

Back to the game for a moment. Mark Albrighton, how does he get a game? a winger who can't cross a ball, not just picking on him now but he's been crap all year. Well done to the kids in defence thay gave their all.

[David_Nab]

Finger crossed its the sack

Pointless him being there now

Well I'm bringing my mansized nappy to Norwich away final game of the season.  If the daft beggar is still in charge, there will at least be one shit on target.

I've actually stopped listening to McLeish's post match inteviews a while back.

They never fail to make it worse.

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.
