Well a not unexpected defeat, what bothers me is how unearth do you get a team that hasn't won for 15  games to get a win I think we could get into the 20s before it happens.

I think Walcott bought the penalty.

He put himself in a position where it was likely that McCafu would foul him. Good forward play.

Nice to meet you today Brian

yes

The result wasn't unexpected, the worrying thing though is the whole acceptance of it, players seemed happy that it was only 0-2, crowd was dead even before kick off, were going without a whimper.

Armed insurrection - we're being taken for mindless fools blinded by loyalty and taken for granted - time to bare our fangs and show the shower of shit running our club that we've had a bellyful of their cack-handed fumblings with a Previously World standard sporting institution. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!.

And do what, exactly?

The underlying message is that talking on message boards like this lost its impact long ago, visible action is the next level, the supporters discontent with the current regime is wel known (excepting Garde as this is none of his making) high-profile protests are probably the only legal option left open to us, to simply turn up (or not as the case may be) and grumble in the pub afterwards is just giving in to the sort of shoulder-shrugging mediocrity that got us into this mess in the first place.

Probably the most upsetting thing for Learner and Fox today,is that only 33,285 bothered to turn up for a game against Arsenal

And what would be the aim of such protests? To get rid of an owner who is 4,000 miles away, owns every blade of grass on the pitch and every brick in every wall of the ground and wants to go anyway?

I doubt either are or would be upset. They are clueless and therefore have no understanding of the predicamant Aston Villa and its fans are in.  They live in a deluded skewed world that is not the world we live in.

The last thing this club needs in the present situation is a protest.

[Legion]

Lerner.

Bearing in mind we've only won one league game all season and are stranded at the bottom, you could argue it's not that bad a crowd.

[preston28]

Lerner.

Is this that start of a word association game.  If so..

Fool.

Can we form a committee now to organise the end of season last game party to end all of last game parties

As paying supporters of the club looking on as this sorry mess unfolds it would be irresponsible of us to just allow it without protest, as for wanting to sell, we have no control over who and when - but to remain invisible in all this is just supine.
