Curiousorange my friend, please don't ever feel the need to deny who you support, you support Aston Villa, as we all do and despite the arguing and seemingly bad feeling going on between us at the moment we  know they are just the greatest football club ever!  I know it isn't pleasant at the moment but as the old sentimental cliché says " the darkest hour is just before dawn". 

Take it from an old man following the Villa for over 55 years, things will improve, I've seen it and even at my age I'm still expecting it to happen.  Chin up.

I agree with you Dave but it's getting so much more difficult to find any positives.I keep thinking about how we dropped from the first to third divisions and say to myself ...it surely can't happen again?

I won't deny it, I just won't shout about it. Thanks for the gee up anyway.

The sad thing is 4 or so years ago I would be upset by this result. Over the past 4 years that feeling has gradually faded. Now I expected the defeat and...I don't feel anything.

Awful. Losing to a team that sit one point above the relegation places in the third division. I think what makes it even harder to stomach is that they've not had to play out of their skins to pull it off, just turn up, knock the ball around a bit, and take the chances that are laid on a plate for them.
Luna, a man who looks ever increasingly like Paul Mackenna has taken him from his day job on his market stall, hypnotized him, then said "when you wake up, you will believe you are a professional full-back".
Weimann. Does he have pictures of Lambert in a Thai brothel or something? How badly does he have to play to get dropped?
Ashley Westwood, just what is it that you're supposed to be doing? Cos I can't believe that it's what you are actually doing.
And for all but Gabby, perhaps Ron, and the world-beaters that are KEA and Sylla, that's who'll be facing Arsenal. In effect, the best we could do.
And I get home to find it's not Christmas in my house anymore.
And I've just flicked the boy's ketchup onto my cardy.
Today sucks.

Brilliant result for us, can concentrate on securing that all important 16th place in the league now. I've realised Lambert is fucking terrible but if he was sacked its inevitable we'd get Mackay and I've had it with downbeat, dour Scottish managers.

Can somebody please send Lerner and Faulkner a couple of Rosetta Stone 'Learn Spanish' cd's and Bielsa;'s telephone number.

I am gutted. The FA Cup is the only trophy I've not seen us win. Our performance on the pitch today was insipid.

Sadly I think it's time for Lambert to go,  I really don't want us to be one of those clubs who sack the manager every year or so but enough is enough.
Randy should cur his losses and go too, find a buyer and do one.

They both should go. The lack of vitriol aimed at Lerner never ceases to amaze me. Our absentee owner displays all the football nous of a retarded sea cucumber. I can't wait for the day the stupid yank prick fucks off. We're screwed while the retarded septic remains....

So you'd be more than happy to throw your money away and lose it it? Top football clubs aren't profit making business's until they're sold on.

I'd never have considered a football club as a route to riches. Lerner strikes me as someone with huge wealth who decided playing at being a football club owner was a way to alleviate his boredom. He's lost a shed load of money at it and with the financial crash now finds himself considerably less wealthy. He's no idea what to do so hides and hopes the problem he's created for himself will go away. Just sell Randy. You ain't getting your money back and the next custodian might not be such a clueless prick

Has any other 'established' prem team had as many cup shockers as us in recent years? The worst thing is people aren't surprised any longer. We are becoming a joke.

You may not like him very much, but is there really any need for that?
