Keep playing with fire you eventually get burnt.
We are ablaze, and the fire is I fear out of control.

Any more red top clichés you fancy about our doom ?
I think it's a fairly accurate summation of where we're at

If you keep playing with fire, you end up with a pink face and a jumper that smells of smoke

I end up with burnt toast and black smoke in the kitchen, but I get your drift.

Indeed. I once caught fire after pouring petrol on an open fire and escaped without any burns at all. Jumper had a few holes in it mind.

Did anyone hear the Villa fan phone up Collymore and state (and I kid you not) that the best thing we can do now is to approach MON, apologise to him, BEG him to come back, and give him £30m to spend in January.

Collymore replied that the caller had "absolutely nailed it!".

I'm still in shock.

To be honest it all has a feel of being of just too desperate at the moment. Hope is all fading and unlike most seasons I think quite a lot feel that this is a season too far. The fight has been sucked out of us.
I'm f**king up for the fight.

All the callers I heard were all agreeing with Stan.

Did this caller have a rambling, irrational conversational style with a Northern Irish lilt?

Ireland seemed to be keen to ofload him witha Come and Get Him plea to Leicester. Promptly ignored and they hired Ranieri.

O'Neill would be a fucking disaster. I'd see Lennon and Adebeyor turning up after all.

Yeah.

Stanloi has lost the plot somewhat. Dreams of fans buying 51% of the club because the owners are unfit for purpose and were not subject to due diligence. Visions of him on the back of a flatbed truck with a megaphone leading the Villa faithful to the promised land. He was quite emotional towards the end and said he has burned his bridges at VP but he doesn't care.

A damning piece in The Mirror by Dave Kidd concludes:

Quote
Garde did a decent but unspectacular job as Lyon manager but his likely appointment is regarded as one designed to best safeguard the positions of Fox, Almstadt and Riley – a compliant ‘head coach’ who could be expected to make the most of Villa’s summer foray into the French market.

Good luck with that.

There’ll be few tears shed for Sherwood, and with a £2million pay-off why should there be?

But while Villa are run by self-interested middle managers, who seem incapable of trusting their own instincts, they are heading towards the Championship. And deservedly so.

Aston Villa have been smothered by a lack of ambition and are mismanaging their way into the Championship
This is my fear and if I had he skill I would attach my similar comments from several days ago. The comment "that while Villa are run by self-interested middle managers" is pretty daming if true.
Article is full of cheap jibes and this is possibly the worst:
"One of these players, Jordan Ayew, was not even the best available striker in his own family" ...Not clever specially as used by cricketers many times for slagging off the Hussey and Waugh brothers.

He's talking absolute rubbish. As if he'd need the megaphone.

Loving listening to Collymore tonight. Hits the nail on the head for me.
On the other hand I thought hes was absolute garbage tonight spouting off emotional claptrap and ranting unnecessarily. "Bring back MON" ...FFS!
