Although come to think of it we don't win any other time of the year either.

No point in booing the team that should be saved for Lerner and co. Players are not good enough and that's not their fault. The blame lies with those who appointed managers and bought these players. Well done you wankers.

The thing that saddens me the most is that we're going down without a fight. That's EVERYONE, not just the players.

Owner - I know I shouldn't speak of his name, but could you imagine Ellis allowing us to get in this state? There's no way he would have contemplated appointing McLeish, Sherwood or Garde in the first place, or leaving the mumbling fool Lambert in charge for as long as he was.
Players - Enough has been said about these c##ts.
Fans - We've been subjected to misery for so long now, it has become the norm. How have we got to the point where even we've given up the fight? Every weekend, we all just shrug our shoulders and get on with another week of misery. In past times, there would have been absolute carnage at Villa Park, if fans had been subjected to the current state of affairs.

You'd imagine that there should be uproar, protests, and all manner of backlash from us, the fans.....but we're going down with a whimper. And Randy has made us this way.

How many teams in the last 20 years have actually given up by mid-november?

Why are 3 of our best players still sat on the bench game after game yet he picks Westwood, Richardson and Gestede?!

Who are these three and what have they done to show they're three of our best players ???

Garde out! Get Moyes or Pearson now! At least they'd have the January window.

Perfect opportunity to get Moyes in and we weren't interested. He'd demand a proper PL budget that's why.

See you keep saying that, but you haven't even tried to produce any evidence for it.

We've been snapping up the cheaper options for nearly 6 years now. Have you not noticed the clues along the way?

That's still not evidence of anything regarding Moyes, though, is it?

It's about opinion isn't it?

No, it's really really not. You're making a statement of fact based entirely on just what you reckon.

Didn't realise I was in court.

This situation is wholly down to Lerner. Pretty pointless gesture but the 'Bright Future' half of that scarf is in the post tomorrow.
No don't send it back... But I'd to see everyone who has one throw theirs back on to the pitch in our last home game

Agreed. The players try their hardest but they're just not good enough.

So exactly what do you suggest we the fans do?

Today, we were much the better team.

Right up until they scored, and at that very moment, you could see the deflation happen. We just stopped trying, no desire, no drive, no energy, absolutely nothing.

Scoring against us is ridiculously easy, even for shit teams, we're just so fucking feeble. And when it invariably happens, 9 times out of ten, we just stop trying.

This is true, but what is the manager doing about it. As we seem unable to score enough first to establish a lead to defend, it's inevitable with our poor defence we are going to concede and at best draw.

The team selection is poor, but he doesn't have many options in defence, they're all of the same ilk, not good enough and don't appear to have any pride in their performance.

Relegation and a drop in wages does not seem to be an incentive for them to stop up.

Not the team I would have picked, but his options are limited. To blame Garde is crazy. If Ayew had scored with the free header it's a different game. I thought we played some decent football at times. The difference yet again was two very basic school boy errors that we get punished for. Time after time that has happened this season. It's a very sad day, but AVFC will continue to be a glonious football club even in the Championship. Some easy away games for me and hopefully we might even win another game of football.

There was one moment where Norwich broke. Hutton had been pulled to left back. Richards was running around like a maniac chasing the ball carrier and wildly out of position. Whichever fox hunt was actually playing left back had fucked off somewhere for a ciggy and a quick wank. Clark was looking gormless and waiting for an opportunity to retrieve the ball so he could pass it to a yellow shirt. It was utterly fucking hopeless and it was absolutely typical of how we defend. It's manic.

I've never seen a back line (and I include defensive midfielders in this loose term) with so little awareness of position or runners, or where the c**ting ball actually is.

I detest every one of the bastards.

And this also comes down to organisation. Now I know Garde has a lot to deal with and he's been dealt a shit hand, which is why I give him leighway, but he's yet to show any signs he can even remotely improve the defence.

As for some of the players today. Clark made error upon error. So did Hutton. So did Bacuna. Richards gallops around and is never in the right bastard place. Dire.

Garde has been mediocre to poor so far. Doesn't matter one jot though. Lerner could get guardiola in and it would go tits up. He's a Jonah. A freakish anomalous megarich loser.

As expected - god I hate what we have become . Made the choice to watch stoke on hooky satellite with my mates in the pub rather than listen to us lose on WM. Like watching a game on Xbox FIFA compared to our turgid shit
