How can Villa be more like the US Marines when the team is comprised of Goddamn tea-sipping Limey pansies and cheese eating surrender monkeys. We need more Americans in the club.

Are the General's well meant but ill judged comments something to get wound up about, in the scheme of things?

Serious question - what could he have said that would have been better? That we're doomed? We ask for someone to speak up, GK does, to his credit, and is met with a load of tripe about his mental health and general anti-US themed shite.

And then we would all still be going on about the conspicuous silence from our disinterested American overlords. If anything, the question is why is GK having to fill a void left by Lerner's silence.

I don't think I've heard anyone complaining that Krulak doesn't speak to the press often enough. He should act more like a Marine and maintain radio silence.

We want to hear more from the organ grinder not his monkey.

There is a old military (British) saying, "If you have nothing worth while to say, it is better to say nothing', that obviously never managed to cross the Atlantic.
Also I want to hear from someone at the club, who actually is at the club, not someone who buggered off to some boys school in America when the going got tough.

Agreed. So, again, why does GK stepping in with clumsy motivational bollocks merit so much bile about his age/mental health/nationality? His heart is clearly in the right place and he is the least of our problems.

Sorry Moss man his heart is definately not in the right place, if his heart was in the right place he would not have got up and scarpered when the first bit of flak came his way, not the actions of an all fighting Action Man like he likes to make out.

Because the place where his heart is is to always look out and deflect negative attention and criticism from his close friend's son. We need direct action from our board that can affect our short, mid, and long term capabilities of the club. We don't need Krulak spouting mind numbing emptiness. We want to hear something from the board just not his brand of nonsense.
