Aston Villa v Tottenham Hotspur Post-Match Thread

[Apyadg]

We are not safe yet, but you'd think QPR wouldn't get anything at City, so hopefully. Let the inquest into this abomination of a season begin.

QPR are irrelevannt.

We just need to finish above Bolton, who are 3 points below us, with the same number of games played, but a GD that is worse by 17. We are safe.

Sack McLeish M'Lord rings out from the Holte End

[TheSandman]

Time to clear house. Thank god it's over.

[Fergal]

As we are safe can we now ramp it up against the fucking useless twat of a manager?  We must make sure the fool is not incharge next season.

[PaulWinch again]

I've never seen a more one sided game of 10 men against 11 ever. We were awful.

We are all but safe; Bolton will have to score about 15 without reply to outstrip us.

[dean saunders left boot]

We are safe. Mcleish please walk away once dust has settled on this match.

[Dante Lavelli]

What do you think the policy will be with regards to the traditional walk round the pitch?
My feed went pretty instantly to the Man U game, but the stadium was already pretty empty.

[Bad English]

Oh, and fack off 'arry! 'ard cheddar me old China. 'ow's the old Bull and Bush for the Chump League goin'?

[Edvard Remberg]

Well, this game really sums up why we are where we are in the league. Although we defended stoutly and with some passion today, there were long periods where we just were not good enough.
Credit to Herd and Clark; well done Lichaj and Cuellar in defence. Credit to Ireland for his first half effort; pity he faded so badly in the second. Well played, Warnock, for the effort down the  left.
I thought N’Zog looked low on confidence, out of sorts and poor on decision-making. He has been a real disappointment.

The season’s record is worth repeating.
Re McLeish:
- 2 relegations from three seasons, with a third threatening in four.
- His three outfield-player purchases (including Jenas) have failed to ignite the team.
Re the season:
- Highest number of draws in the division: 33% more than the next team (Sunderland).
 - Lowest number of goals-scored in the bottom 6 clubs (and only surpassed by Stoke in the whole division).
- Worst record in the league for losing from winning positions – 20 points lost (equal with Wolves).
- Villa's worst-ever league home record.
- A numbing style of football.
- VP crowds down by 9% (I think) this season.

On this basis, McLeish should leave the club tonight.

Will borrow this...

What a prick of a manager. Useless. No adventure at all. Hardly a surprise though, we've had this shite all season. But for the grace of god we'd have been battered today.

Survival assured though. Hopefully we'll sack this baffoon and get someone even half decent next season. Onwards and upwards.

[villadelph]

Ahh, safety.. albeit the most ugly brand, its a relief.

WE WERE ABSOLUTELY AWFUL AGAINST TEN MEN.

McLeish had no plan, no initiative to adapt to the circumstances. He just put the players out there and figured that was all he could do. Unacceptable display. I can't believe our inability to get a decent build in to the final third. They pressed so high with ten men that a little bit of possession in their end would be a gaurentee, but leave it to Villa to be out-played and out-possessed.

Ship em out, all of em.

[Monty]

Given in my view was our player of the season. Once again, a McLeish team improves the reputation of a goalkeeper. That fact alone should be enough to see him hurried out the bloody door.

[avfcpg]

Wonder what the tactics for the Norwich game will be? Keep the score down to 10?

[paul_e]

It's the fact that he still tries to say he's not defensive after 50minutes of ambition free tripe like that.  Felt sorry for Weimann and then Delfouneso, both came on alone up front with about 25yards between them and the midfield most of the time.
