Unfortunately Tim Sherwood has been shown up as an amateur in a professional sport. It is a pity but he has to go and very quickly.

Get Nigel Pearson in before Newcastle sign him up.

Moyes for me.

If the manager of a cafe kept shitting in the slush puppy machine, he would be sacked.

Once is enough, Tone, surely.

How long did it take you to sack that guy, mate?

Aston Villa, where managers go to ruin their career.

No, more like where managers without much of a career to start with get a leg up in to the big time and flounder because they're not qualified to do the job.

Stop appointing fuck wits like Lambert, Mcleish and Sherwood and we might see an improvement. None of them should have been anywhere near this club. We've gone so far backwards in 5 years it's unbelievable.

When you start messing around with selection and tactics you give players an excuse.
The players know it is a shambles, there is no belief.



In the first half in particular, they looked like they had no idea what they were supposed to be doing.
thats because they didnt, it was just gambling when there really was no need to.

A formation you can guarantee none of them had ever played before together, more throw it all together and see what happens shit.

As I say every week now, what is there left to say that hasn't been said a 1000 times already?

My position too Richard. I'm exhausted by getting this worked up, and I try hard not to. But 5 years and counting and even being one of the most optimistic ones I feel beaten to shit by it all.

It just saps your energy doesn't TV? I feel drained by 5pm every week now even though, bizarrely, they make me care less and less. I actually watch hardly any football now at the weekends or in the week and it's all down to year after year after year now of this unremitting shit. I sat in Bath in the sun in the week and thought how much I wished I could live there, go and watch the rugby every week, and forget all about this f*cking drain on my life

I'm fortunate living so far away in many respects with other sports and a young family. Because I now look for ways to avoid football after we have lost so you can imagine how much football I have managed to avoid. Just turning on the radio or TV and somehow a sneak at the table or a pundit mentioning how bollocks we are just brings me down. I don't need it.

Just got in.

That was a complete and utter disorganised, ramshackle shambles.
We are a team with no discernible shape, plan, set of tactics or formation.

If Sherwood stays, this is the season we go, I have absolutely no doubt about it.

Depends on customers ...if they keep buying the slush you keep him? Problem here is that we keep turning up.

Post match interview on WM Sherwood says "i need to keep shuffling the pack to find out what works".
He is admitting he doesn't what he is doing. This is going to be the toughest season supporting Villa yet.

Wow, that's pretty uninspiring stuff, to say the least.

You shuffle a pack, it is random. That's exactly what it isn't supposed to be, Tim.

On Sky he said he was worried just like the fans.

Same here andyh. Home now and feel like going to bed. There were lot of talented players out there on our side but no F in output  at all. FFS go now Tim.

Just saw his interview on SSN. He looks lost. Surely Fox can see this? We need someone with an established, proven philosophy, even if it's Sam Allardyce. Tim's all over the fucking place. At this rate we'll be swapping divisions with b-lose. Imagine that with the new TV deal about to start.
