I am telling you now, randy lerner is asset stripping aston villa. when we go down we get say 30 mill in parachute which he will pocket knowing he can pull the 'we have to pull our belts in' touch again also our better players signed new contracts when they could have made more money on frees i.e delph guzan benteke knowing full well we will pocket big transfer fees for them when sold. where is the prick oh he is on holiday in the carribean in our darkest hour. he don't care if he sells us now cuz he is gunna get his money back by other means than selling us and he will still own us.

Nonsense, I think we can safely say Lerner will lose a lot of money when we get relegated,

Gabby is the ultimate poster boy for the acceptance of the mediocre at the club in recent years.

For all the "he's a local lad, he's one of us" bollocks about him, you'd think he'd put in a shift. He is fucking woeful, week after week, offers nothing. Nor does Weimann. I appreciate they're played out of position a lot, but fucking hell, what kind of "Villa fan" is it that plays for the club and then slouches around putting in nothing even resembling a shift week after week?

He's another one who has picked up a totally undeserved contract.

And you should see the size of his new house as well in Little Aston. My folks always said hard work pays. In Gabbys case doing f all for years earns you another 4 year contract

I wonder, if Liverpool were in a similar predicament would the likes of Gerrard or Carragher have been mincing around the pitch doing fuck all week after week like Gabby?

Paulie is absolutely spot on.

13 cup finals?  What difference does that make?  Most of our players have only watched them on telly! Are they suddenly going to start playing better? "Oooh it's the first of my 13 cup finals I must try harder".

He can fuck off to Rangers.Ashley can suck his knob
This is the type of reasoned argument I come on here for, a heartfelt critique of the situation Mr Cropley and if I may say so rather a moving one.

We've already been in a semi and look how that turned out.

Pretty disappointed about players as much as manager.  We have some very good players that appear to have no ideas, no passion, no desire.  Long way back from here.  Be very "impressed" if we can get out of this sh@t storm dead cert relegation spiral

Agreed, but you can't sack the players.

I get the manager out talk, I don't want him here but lets lament some blame at the players feet. Too many of them don't even look like footballers

Why though? It's a manager's job to get the best out of them. It's a manager's job to have some vague idea of what formation they'd be suited to. It's a manager's job to motivate them and it's a manager's job to give them a bollocking when they consistently fail to perform.
So the players aren't to blame at all? Just one man? You're mad mate.

Who said they're not to blame at all?

Clearly though there is one bloke who is more to blame. Take Agbonlahor out of that team and we might look slightly more threatening but we'd still probably go down. Leave Donkey Cleverley out and we might look more creative (though we didn't today) but we'd still probably go down.

Take Lambert out and we might stay up.
Well when I said lets blame some of these players you said why and started saying it's the managers fault for nearly everything, Like he programs the 11 who go out like they're robots.  Players don't take enough responsibility for me, these multi millionaire adults who have their arses wiped during their whole career. No matter what formation, what tactic etc you still go out, get stuck in, fight to win the ball back, pass and move into space, cross the ball in the direction of his team mate and hit the back of the net. You don't need managers for that....you do that because you're a footballer.

Formations and tactics aside, you still play football to the best of your ability. I don't agree with motivating either, you're a bloody footballer with possibly one of the best lifestyles in society. For me they're all left off the hook far too easy these days.

My "why" was in response to your "too many of them don't look like footballers" remark.

It seems odd that all Villa players would decide, simultaneously, that they're not going to care or try or do anything that could be confused for the vague resemblance of competence.

Our players are gone, mentally. You can see it in their eyes, a haunted look. They look like they just got out of Vietnam, found out that they missed the 1960s and that Prog Rock is dominating the charts.

We can't add to our squad now before May but we can change the man who has masterminded the most mind-numbingly tedious and depressing prolonged period of our top-flight history.

Can't agree with that, I prefer to think Lerner is a very honorable man with his heart in the right place, who has failed to recognise (or own up to)  some pretty atrocious footballing appointments.

I watched it in the pub. I've no idea who the co-commentator was but he was absolutely slaughtering us at times. He was right as well, we were awful.

On the coach home do you think Lambert is sat there with his underpants on his head and a pencil up each nostril ?.

Probably getting stuck into a few beers with Andi and the boys.  "One game nearer to the season being over.  Whoop whoop".

WHOOAAAA, before you all start celebrating, I thought that desperate times called for desperate measures! The various coloured dots we use on here seem to have broken, so I thought maybe we should try something new.

We need every forum member to fist bump Hercules above and it will come true! Darren Bent - You can join in too.... And Sid, if you're watching!

Oooh 13 cup finals...

Yeah because our performances in ANY cup games since you took over, have been stellar.
