[Des Little]

This is all utterly, utterly depressing.

This is all utterly, utterly depressing.

Look on the bright side, Des, back to work next week.

Well, Bowery looked half decent and that's about it for the positives. Wigan wern't good enough to give us another utter tonking which we thoroughly deserved.

3 at the back does not work ! FACT

What a bad day to top off a fucking miserable year. Let's look to the new year and push on; new slate and all that.

Onwards and upwards!

Can I just point out how far we've fallen. And how low our expectations have now become.

Thanks

Villa Trending on twitter mixture of our  fans upset and other fans laughing their ass's off at us.

[damon loves JT]

Balls to them, in that case. And us.

It doesn't with a crap midfield,nor would any system

3 at the back! Too much pressure on the full backs to support the midfield 4 4 2 or 4 3 3 with two wide men. SIMPLES

I live just outside Manchester, I've got a 4 month old son who I dreamt of taking down to Villa Park. He's got the kit and I've been singing Villa songs to him, he's even sat watching the matches with me on TV. Really though what chance have I got, he's not going to grow up in Birmingham so why would he choose us when he could pick any number of big successful clubs? Randy please open your cheque book and bring this great club back to life before my son asks for a Man Utd shirt.

You have every chance to bring him up an Aston Villa supporter regardless of how shit we may be.Why would he choose Villa? Probably the same reason as alot of us did, their Dad,Mom,Grandparents,Brother,Sister,Uncle,Aunty,Friend a Friend's Dad take your pick we are all indebted.

I know the feeling well living in Leeds.  Everyone tries to get my son to support the local thugs, hes even had a shirt for Christmas.  I'm running out of arguments and also living on the border with Bradford am fearing a double helping of egg on face.

My 9 year old son gets stick at school from various Man Utd, Liverpool, Man City and Chelsea fans and loves reminding them of all the other teams they've supported in the past.

Who would you have played as the 2 wide men today ? Albrighton and Holman,surely not ?

[Des Little]

I know he only came on when the game was gone, but Allbrighton really has gone backwards in the last 2 years. He's simply not good enough at this level...which can also be said for others in the team I guess.

[claret and blue blood]

Sorry been out this evening after attending the'match'. Just like to say how sad it was to see this great club and its great fans reduced to this.
