Remi Garde - Departs Aston Villa

[PaulWinch again]

Oh and the difference between Sherwood and Garde, other than intelligence and integrity, is Garde realises that Veretout and Ayew are quality players.

I love Ayew and I want his babies.

Lescott stood up tonight as well.

Lescott stood up tonight as well.

He was Laursen-esque tonight. To be honest I thought he was good in the little run of games he played with Okore, particularly the clean sheet against West Ham and Southampton. They're our best (or least frightening) partnership.
Today was exactly the response to give after the alleged incident on saturday.

That squad didn't look as divided either. The reaction of the bench was quite telling.

Good to see Grealish's tweet on the BBC too.

Whether it was being called out by the fans, or by Remi, maybe it was both, but they all did seem to step up and play for each other tonight.

He and the fans have made it clear to every single player now that the very least expected is 100% commitment, if you can't put a shift in you're getting dropped and getting it in the neck. A win Saturday and 3 decent players in the window, it's a long shot but it doesn't look as impossible as this morning.

He got something out of them at last, it gives us hope that he can get more from them. I hope the belief throbs through the team and we do a job on Leicester.

If we can come out with a positive result at the weekend, then I think we will see Wycombe have their arses handed to them.

Garde has clearly called out certain players and is beginning to get his message through to players and the board. Maybe he tried his best to play nice initially and has now said fuck it. My way or get out out. It's kind of what Sir a Graham had to do all those years back. Impose his will on the club. We need this.

The Leicester game is our game of the season win it and we will be back in the mix and confidence will be phenomenal lose and the championship gets ever closer.

Only a win will do really. It's the only way we're going to build momentum, and it's very much the last point of which it'll go from cutting it fine to "too little too late."
Plus if we were to win two home games on the spin that will go a hell of a long way to febreezing the stink out of Villa park. And then our next game at home would be Wycombe which we've got to be winning, and whilst they're league 2, if we could get 3 wins on the spin it may even make clubs think twice about turning up at Villa Park with their three points already pencilled onto the league table. 

[aj2k77]

After Leicester we have Albion, West Ham, Norwich and Liverpool. 10 pts from that...... we couldn't could we? It's the hope that kills you.

[aj2k77]

It's worth noting that we don't really have any period of games like we normally do which look a complete nightmare on paper. If Remi gets  a few players in the key positions we know we need and we beat Leicester and get something against Albion, who knows.

[ChicagoLion]

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