re the person you're mentioning, Rudy has just said it was a joke and explained the reference, but you seem determined to find fault with it.

I didn't know that that was genuinely the case. Actaully, I still don't. All I see is someone being picked on. Didn't really help when Rudy continued with infantile references towards me.

Still, I'll do as you ask and use the Report to Moderator link in future.

When Holloway had a go in 2011 I thought 'the club will soon shove those words back down his throat'. We didn't.

When Dave Whelan took the piss in the summer of 2011, again, I thought 'him and Martinez will soon look like fools'. They didn't and we hired McLeish.

After the first couple of relegation scares I thought 'we'll spend some serious money this summer and put an end to this nonsense'. We never did and things just got worse season after season.

This BT guy is just the latest dude to come along and have a go at the Randy circus. I am quite sure he won't be made eat his words either. The fans have pride in the club, the current 'custodians' don't. If they did we wouldn't be where we are today and we'd have been riled up enough to show the football world what we really are these past five years.

This is exactly it.

Lerner and the sycophantic yes men he surrounds himself with have turned one of England's most iconic clubs into a laughing stock which people can't wait to put the boot in to.

For all his faults, I doubt any of these journalists would have got away with ridiculing Aston Villa while Ellis was in charge.  His ego wouldn't tolerate it.

Let's be perfectly honest, with the exception of the (vast majority) fans, as a football club we are a complete laughing stock at the moment, and the buck stops at the owner.

Up yours, Lipton.

Sadly we stopped behaving like a great club anymore.  We are a shell of what WAS a great club.

I'm as biased as anyone when it comes to Villa, but there is no denying much of what was said here is absolutely true. We ARE in a mess and that's no secret. The first stage of dealing with a problem is admitting that it exists. Let's use the rest of this season and the summer to start putting things in place to start the long road (which it is, let's be honest) back.

Chris, whilst I understand you still want to deny being, despite endless testimonies to your bowl problems and your season ticket location, the Phanton Lower Holte Fartmeister, I'll PM you and save any further stink on this extremely important thread. Until then, go easy on the legumes.
