Aston Villa v Bolton Wanderers Post-Match Thread

[1_Pablo_Angel]

Left early tonight and considering the score at the time that isn't something I expected.

But I'd have come to blows with half the ground had I stayed. I am no McLeish apologist. I think he's fucking useless. I was Lerner's biggest fan until this season; but he has fucked up big time.

That being said, having 90% of the ground singing 'FUCK MCLEISH' with 5 minutes of normal time to go had me totally aghast. Fucking idiocy of the highest order. You want to send a message to Randy, fine, do it on the whistle. During the game try to bear in mind that half our team are children, for whom Alex McLeish is their managerial introduction to senior football. However crap he is, he is their main motivation for the rest of tonight and our remaining games this season. That kind of negativity with time left, for us to score a potentially vital goal, made me fucking sick and wonder if hey, maybe the media are right, our fans are a bunch of wankers?

As for the game? Thought we played OK, again no lack of commitment though clearly a lack of cutting edge. 2 minutes of shitting ourselves has cost us here. And Carlos to give away the pen! Everyones favourite, my fucking favourite. What can you do?!

Only wolves have won less games than us in all 4 divisions of English football! Disgrace

Really ?
My God we are even worse than I thought.
Thanks Randy, you truly are a genius.

1)Can't pass the ball
2)Can't play for 90 mins
3)Lots of injuries

Can't be a coincidence can it ...exactly what goes on in training ?

My word what a mess....he simply has to fall on his sword now (which going by his post interview he wont) or be sacked...(which he wont) we are in deep deep shit now, make no bones about it. We are devoid of ideas, seemingly incapable of holding a lead (or properly defending) and tactically clueless.  We are a eam destined for relagation with a manager experienced at delivering it. Worrying worrying times!!!

Without the abuse or emotion, please please just go McCleish. I'm sure you're a decent man, however not good enough to manage the Villa! I'm genuinely worried for our premier league safety now. What a mess!!

3 games to play, Bolton have 4.

Fucking hell!

I'll be more interested in QPR's games than ours now...right at this moment it's hard to see where a point is coming from let alone a win.
Goal difference vs QPR's is eroding as well...

[Mr Diggles]

Disappointing but we need to focus on the positives. Didn't deserve to lose and have three cup finals to end the season.

According to our inspiring manager we've had 2 already and only have a point to show for it, and it could very easily have been no points at all.

Yep, he's a real motivator and tactical genius that one!

Thats right, it's the fans fault.

[Chipsticks]

We're lucky that it wasn't Warnock giving away the penalty or else this place would be in meltdown.

[andyh]

The compo we have to pay him for failing so spectacularly is miniscule to the amount we will lose by going down.

[1_Pablo_Angel]

Thats right, it's the fans fault.

Don't be simplistic. For me, it's partly Randy's fault, a bit O'Neills fault, and a lot McLeish's fault. But turning the atmosphere poisonous with 5 minutes left doesn't help our team of Academy grads try to force a potentially relegation avoiding equaliser across the line. Are you only capable of seeing things in such obvious stripes of black and white?

[Apyadg]

My word what a mess....he simply has to fall on his sword now (which going by his post interview he wont)

He took Blues down twice, why would he resign with us? He can leave and let someone else try to keep us up, or stay, take us down, and get given millions for being a failure. What a very peculiar game football is.

[TheEgo]

Tim Abraham from the express tweeted 6 mins ago that the press are still waiting for McCleish, so where have his comments come from???

[TonyDaleysHair]

for those of you watching in black and white this nightmare is in technicolour.................and won't have gone away when you wake up Randy

My morning glory regularly dictates me waking up Randy.
