This is the season...

[OzVilla]

It's a strange feeling but I almost feel relieved to at least have some certainty that I know our fate. We are going down this season I have absolutely no doubt about that at all. I'm not happy about it but I accept it now.

Who knows, We might take the Championship by storm, come straight back and then we've a clean slate.  But the way it's gone the last few years this seemed inevitable - we needed a circuit breaker.  Life in the PL is miserable.

Since Houllier left we've won, by my reckoning, 38 out of 166 league games.

That's a terrible season for a baseball team.

I looked at it the other week and points per game we have the lowest in all English professional football for the last 5 years. Rock bottom of the pile.

It is utterly stunning looking at that as to how we remained a PL club.

We also have a worse home record than Sunderland over that same period and I'm sure they've held numerous half time walk outs and pitch invasions throwing season tickets at their manager.

[Steve67]

Staggering stats. I wonder if Lerner either knows or cares. The home fixtures, I am sure, must read just as badly and yet we still get great attendances. Lerner really has fucked this up hasn't he?

And yet, we Villa fans just sit and take it. Makes me so cross that this so called custodian, Mr. I have a five year plan, has fucked Aston Villa Football Club up completely and utterly. Mr McGregor must be turning in his grave at this fucking shambles.

We are in awful shape and are going to need a complete rebuild. Unfortunately this has potential to get even worse. Who knows how this will all end.

Abysmal, 1 pt and 1 goal per game over 5 seasons at home.

It looks like we won't be getting any new manager bounce. A sure sign the players aren't good enough. I dread to think how much money has been wasted on poor players while Lerner has been at the club.

Garde said today that the players seem nervous at home, even though the crowd is behind us, words to that effect. With those stats, I'm surprised that there is a crowd. Equally, we would have every right to shout and scream given the lack of quality. The General's 'match day experience' has turned into a nightmare.

Surely someone at the club should be looking at stats and trend to make sure this doesn't happen?

And yet according to Keown own goal and many of the other knobhead pundits Villa fans are too demanding.
