Aston Villa vs Swansea post match thread

[Skerra]

He should have gone at least 2 matches ago.
After today though, I don't give a fuck anymore as, nothing seems to be coming from the board. Hope I'm wrong but, still think they may give him until there is no chance of escaping relegation.

Whoever said Grealish had a good game must have him confused with someone else. Never put a foot right until the bit of magic that led to our goal.

Soon as I saw the team included Lescott(past it), Richardson(Never had it), Gestede(Donkey, probably do well in League 2), and Gabby(Past it), I and many others knew what the final outcome would be.

Well pissed off tonight!

Oh and Swansea were shit. Add that to Sunderland and Stoke, and we got 1 point from home games against three wank sides. I wasn't at the Bitters game so can't say how shit they were.

[saunders_heroes]

We explicitly said we wanted this 'Premier League experience' thing, which stopped us even asking the likes of Koeman and Pochettino if they wanted the job. How can you know that 'every other decent manager' turned us down if we only asked about two decent managers?

How do you know we didn't? I'm not naive in believing every bit of PR hype the club spouts.

In the same way, how do you know anything about decent managers having turned us down?

There was rumours Benetiz turned us down. I heard a journalist on 5 Live say that he knew for a fact Benetiz wanted the Villa job and even went for an interview. The club showed him what kind of budget he'd receive and he laughed and got up and walked out.
Others rumours about Moyes turning us down as well. Okay these are only rumours, but considering the type of rubbish we've (mainly) signed for the last 6 years I tend to believe them.
Look if you want to believe we've just been unlucky for the last 6 seasons then you're very much entitled to that view. I certainly don't, and my finger of blame is firmly pointed at Randy Lerner.

Benitez and Moyes aren't "any other decent manager"

And what is this horse shit about believing we've been unlucky? Who the fuck even said that?

I don't know why you're even going on about Lerner over and over like people don't think he's a massive problem. What you don't seem to get is that there seem to be a lot of other problems, all of which, if we managed to fix them, would at least improve us.

TH=here's no point even whining about him. He wants to go, but he can't, because nobody wants to buy us. That can't be changed.

Lerner IS the problem at the club. The rest of our problems are the symptoms of him.

Jesus fucking christ, how many times are you going to say EXACTLY the same fucking thing?

To people who aren't even suggesting Lerner isn't a big problem in the first place? It's like you're arguing with yourself or something.

[olaftab]

Just got in. I have never been so down in my life about the Villa as I am now. I am going to say nothing about the match other than I thought Ayew was good. Overall it's a very sad sad situation.
Please someone wake me up and tell be its a nightmare ..,,,,

[saunders_heroes]

Do you really need to be so aggressive?

Well FFS can you just stop going on and on about the same thing?

Please? You're driving people nuts.

Same here. Fuckin dreadful that's it's come to this.
We can still get out of it though.

[Clark W Griswold]

I feel for everyone who has gone down today and everyone with STs. Deserve a lot better than this shit. 10 games 8 losses. Just awful.

Id rather have an STD than an ST right now.

[devilla]

I have a confession to make. Today was the first time I've ever put a bet on against us. Nothing would have made me happier than to lose that bet but I just couldn't see us winning or getting a point. The tragedy is that as others have said they're not a bad group of players but for whatever reason, Sherwood isn't able to get the best out of them. That is the art of good management and I just don't think he has the nous (to put it politely) to do that.

Time to go Tim.

People constantly blaming the managers for our problems do my nut in as well. It runs a lot deeper than that, as you well know.
Please stop being so aggressive to me as well. I don't swear at you.

[clash city rocker]

Having Tim in charge is like having a chef that can't cook. No matter what ingredients you give him it's always going to turn out like a dogs dinner.

[chippy]

Swans hadn't won away, Ayew brothers playing against each other. It was written in the stars for them to win this one. Another nice last minute goal to add to the collection too. The Villa curse continues...

[Lastfootstamper]

Oh and Swansea were shit. Add that to Sunderland and Stoke, and we got 1 point from home games against three wank sides. I wasn't at the Bitters game so can't say how shit they were.

They were shit. 1 point from 4.

[Monty]

We know it runs deeper than the manager, but the manager is also rubbish and a shit person into the bargain. We should be doing better as a club and that's down to Lerner, but this team should be doing a fuck of a lot better than it is - and that's down to Sherwood. Most people are able to hold these two ideas in their heads.
