Remi Garde - Departs Aston Villa

[adrenachrome]

Tom Fox quoted on SSN tonight "we are building something special and Remi Garde is a massive part of what we are trying to build". God help us when we are only building something average then...

If he builds it, they will come.

The "they" in question is not us, though. We are getting the shaft. To paraphrase the late Frank Zappa: "Now bend over and spread 'em. Here comes Tom's bullet".

Yeah, just like we were when we had Sherwood and Lambert. Jeez, what a head up his own arse moron. Clearly, we are building from the bottom up, in every sense of the word.

Someone needs to get one of those canes with a big brass hand on the end and follow this muppet round rapping him on the head with it until he comes to his senses. I've barely heard someone talk as much drivel as him.

What is it with us? We go to Spain, the home of tiki-taka, technical football and come back with a full back who couldn't trap a bag of sand. We plunder Arsenal, one of the slickest operations in football and come back with the False narrative.

We even went to Bayern Munich and came back with the fucking Guzan tactic of taking goalkicks backwards. Thicko's, everywhere, in abundance at our club.

That shouldn't have made me laugh, but it did. The club has been desperately comical at times. In an Alan Partridge sort of a way. Oblivious buffoonery of the highest order.

Oh well..."we go again."

Never heard as many groans at a football match in my life when that tactic was used. It was that bad it was laughable.

Who in their right mind would think that coming out with that is a good idea when we are in the position we are in?  The man is beginning to sound delusional.

and that surprises you?

It is on a par with showing on the big screen to a ground full of pig sick supporters the players laughing like demented hyenas at a party having a great old time. AND as though the act was not sufficient fan provocation, showing that there was not a single French speaking player at the "team" party.

I do not blame Lerner for everything that is wrong at Villa Park but I do blame him for the growth of the "marketing" concept that things that are going wrong can be given a positive spin.

Sherwood was Fox's choice. It soon became clear that it was yet another managerial disaster. Fox is doing his equivalent of Sherwood's not-me-guv by shifting the full weight of expectation on to Remi Garde.

That is exactly what that quote sounded like to me.

I do wonder if the players really are as bad as the league table suggests, or whether it is more to do with politics going on at the club.

its reassuring to know we are building something special as opposed to wallowing in an open sewer

In fairness, that was Lambert's hairbrained idea and it wasn't a very good one.

[PaulWinch again]

In fairness I'm not sure what he could say, but it would be nice if we do have a plan for when we're relegated rather than utter panic.

[PaulWinch again]

Come on Remi get us a win today to start the revival.
