By the way have you been watching the Villa this season? There's not much that isn't shite about us at the moment is there?

Christian Benteke.
Brad Guzan.
Andeas Weimann.
Respectable away form.
Trying to play a better style of football.

More worng than good given out league position, but ultimately you either want to see the good/better things or you don't.  It's your choice.

Only Benteke and Weimann can hold their heads up this season, and even with them in the team we've still been appalling since day one.
You're really stretching it with the "respectable" away form, and as for a better brand of football. Christ I've seen it all now.

Not Guzan?

I think he's been superb.

Other than one or two bright spots that Concrete John has highlighted, this season has been piss poor, at times shocking and embarrassing. Coming on here and moaning about it in every post is not very constructive though and i suggest it's being done in order to keep up a reputation.

I never swear at anyone or get aggressive.

You've implied that those who are optimistic are in some way mentally challenged on more than one occasion.

Personally, I'd rather you swore at me than drop in snide digs.

He's been solid, but nothing spectacular. He makes saves I'd expect a Premier League keeper to make. And Christ has he had some practise.

I think I said something along the lines of "you must be bonkers" to think like that. If you're offended by something as harmless as that I'd be amazes if you plucked  the courage to leave the house in the morning.

we've had a shit couple of months. It doesn't mean that everything is shit. There is a massive, massive difference. We've all been angry and disappointed by how January went, but there have been performances by the team and individuals at times that provide optimism if you choose to acknowledge it.

A shit couple of month? Okay.

yes because in the Liverpool post match thread you didn't say this did you?

Ha ha, what a fantastic performance, I take it all back, we were immense!

And I assume that you have knowledge of both games vs Everton. The first where we were destroyed and the second where we played some lovely stuff, led 3-1 against a team challenging for a CL spot and couldn't hold on. No progress there - right? That's your problem. Even when the evidence hits you square in the face you ignore it.

Likewise, if you take a comment like "Change the fucking record" as aggressive then I suggest there's a void left by Mary Whitehouse you could fill.

Don't worry, I'm not going to put my fists all over you.

Yes I did. I was happy we won! Flash in the pan though, sadly.

I think Guzan has played well.

He has offered something Given hasn't with the way he comes off his line and dominates. I get the impression that there was a switch in tactic on Sunday where the back for knew Brad was coming to gather the ball, come what may and I think we looked better for it, considering that West Ham are a real percentage football team.

It's reference to an amusing lunatic on here a few years ago.

No, I think it'll be going for a while yet.
