The Statement #avfc fans should send....

[KevinGage]

What we should remember with idiots like this is that getting people onside and attracting support isn't their aim. In their mind they're right, anyone who disagrees with them is wrong and all that matters is winning some strange game of which only they know the rules. followed by boasting about it to their friends.

Exactly.

If we're honest, I think 95% of us had major doubts about the choice the board decided upon last summer.  But we *wanted* so badly to be wrong.  I find it odd that someone would take delight in their misgivings being proven right in this instance - because for that to occur, the team would need to be in trouble. And we are.

It's a weird type of Villa fan who actually wants  that to come to pass, and positively revels in it.

This is exactly how I felt. I couldn't believe it was happening but after a couple of days I wanted to just look at anything positive about AM and try and believe there must be some ounce of logic in hiring him and just hope that now he is at Aston Villa he would succeed and prove me wrong.

Would anyone care for a bet that if the names of the "well known" Villa supporters who had vetted that letter were revealed, every single one of them would have either a blog or a website?

This lernerslostit who wants a "McLeishout Day" goes by the name of Houllierout on VT by the looks of it.

Sounds like a touch of counselling is needed before he becomes the next Jesus Gil.

I've just had a pork loin sarnie. I did think about throwing it up just in case I didn't like it.. I'd have won either way.

You know when someone in a football crowd yells an incoherent torrent of nothingness, looks around, realises that everyone is either laughing at them or ignoring them and then proceeds to hurl childish abuse at their fellow fans?

This is the internet forum equivalent.

I know we moan about them, but I reckon we’ll miss it when we don’t get our daily dose of ranting.
Personally I want to see more letters to Randy.

We said that about dazzyg and then he came back as another clown.

The Alpine pop man is still going.

[Archbishop Herbert Cockthrottle]

I think these letters should have a maximum of 140 characters.

[beness]

Do milkmen still exist? I thought the last one died in captivity in 1983

I can remember the milkman coming round our old estate in a horse and cart.

And we had a bread man. And a pop man (Alpine)

Ahh,  the Alpine man. Got me out of detention when I said I had to get home to wait for the Alpine man.
 Can you still get Cream Soda?
