Remi Garde - Departs Aston Villa

[oswald funkletrumpet]

Houses cost more in London than in Stoke shocker.

they have houses in sturke?

[brian green]

My comments about property prices are not an indication that I approve of either the massively inflated London ones or the equally depressed Staffordshire ones. I find Dulwich an obnoxious place.  The Potteries is equally awful in its own way but with the great advantage of being populated by more friendly people.

Good old H&V.

Nothing like an attempt at humour to spark a disagreement ....

[Tony Erdington]

so the Garde got his first win on the Board, how much of that was to Villa fans spelling the truth out on Saturday??

[brian green]

My intentions were entirely light hearted oldhill. Sorry if you thought I was point scoring.

I expect that bellend shouting things at the team bus forced Wayne Hennessey to drop the ball through his own legs.

Yes when the corner came over Lescott thought I am f****** c*** if I don't get to this.

Rooms in houses in London cost more than houses in Stoke, surely?

We beat palace at home by a scrappy goal and now we are going to go on a title winning form run!Really?

If we don't snatch at this glimmer of hope then we may as well throw the towel in. Why can't we enjoy the moment and look forward to beating Leicester?

By all means enjoy the moment, but thinking we are staying up is futile. We still have no reliable goalscorer, an untested Goalkeeper and seemingly no one wanting to join us in this transfer window.

We've got as much chance of stopping up as you stopping Being realistic.

If  realism means that I'd have to spend so much time being miserable that I can't hear about the occasional piece of good news without finding something to moan about it then I'd rather not be.

I'm going to have a stab at "absolutely zero".

Fair enough, I am in England right now, I would normally have done everything I could to use this opportunity to get to the game. I could not face it after watching the abysmal performance at Wycombe which was just a continuation of abject failure that has become the norm for this club. I find it pretty remarkable that people then criticise people for being realistic. I think this is part of the wider problem that so called spokes people fail to call it for what it is and jump on people for daring to question the ethos of this club and where it has placed us.

[PeterWithesShin]

I genuinely don't understand that. If I didn't live in the UK anymore so rarely got the chance to watch us in person, I wouldn't care how shit we were i'd bust a gut to be there just because it's such a rarity to be able to watch us.

I find it pretty remarkable that even after we've won some of our supporters are still moaning about everything, and have now taken to criticising those of us who actually celebrate such an event.  And just for the avoidance of doubt, who are those "so called spoke people" and where are they jumping on  anyone?

I was struggling with this, due to several apparent quote fails. If I read it right, someone has come from Chicago, presumably to watch a couple of games. However, after witnessing the poor game at Wycombe, they decided not to go to the Palace game. Because we won that game, the person from Chicago got all arsey about it. Bizarre in the extreme.
