Dr Tony's latest twitter rambling....

"A failed player, failed manager and now f***ed pundit. Don't bother reading at all!"

Just read that. He's certainly talking the talk

Personally, I think that is awesome. 

I'm in between two stores. On the one hand you've got the old decorum side of things, but on the other, fuck it, he's the piper, he can call his tune and I can't say I'm adverse to Bumpkin Boy getting a round of fucks.

That's about where I am.
If he really has to use Twitter at least use it for positive reasons.
On the other hand, It's good to see that Tony doesn't sit back and suck it up, especially from Holloway who obviously really doesn't like Villa.
He appears to have some balls, does our Tone.

One of my favourite Twitter accounts @WeahsCousin who makes up fake quotes that many fall for (including Sky Sports) has tweeted the Dr with a fake Holloway quote. If he reacts he needs to have the internet taken off him.

I'm wondering if it is actually Xia who is writing all these tweets.  He referred to "Div 1 and Div 2" in a previous tweet which made me wonder if the writer was someone perhaps older and more familiar with English football?  Perhaps I'm doing the Doctor's knowledge of the game a disservice?

If Holloway is a failed manager, having got both Blackpool & Palace into the Premier League, then Di Matteo's got some work to do to impress Dr X.
I fear we've ended up with an owner similar to Leeds have - all talk, no progress.

Those elevator shoes are doing some arse-kicking today...if only they'd do the same with the wasters in our team.

I think it's been said before but this really isn't going to end well.

I can't see Dr X's Tweet re: Gollum.

Has he deleted it or are people falling for a fake Tony Xia account?

Yeah it's gone, but you can find a screen capture i'm sure

[CT Villan]

ignore me...

[cdbearsfan]

Twitter says the account has been suspended !

Maybe you were just clicking on the link for a deleted Tweet?

His main Twitter feed still seems to be working for me...

He's deleted it. It was definitely on his verified account.

[cdbearsfan]

Well, we wanted a more communicative owner!

Yep.  I screen shotted it for posterity.

[Singapore Villa]

We have gone from one extreme to the other.

Rare, philosophical ramblings from Lerner to hourly commentary from the Dr sounding like a teenage fan after too many ciders....

Oh dear

[Toronto Villa]

I think there is better ways to handle it. He could have responded but he didn't need to go that far. It was funny, but as our owner with so much to do and prove, stick to the plan and don't get distracted by nonsense like Holloway.
