People who think Bacuna, Westwood and their ilk are going to be decent players for us next season as we romp the league, I've a feeling they have a rude awakening coming, they don't understand just how poor a team we are. I'm still seeing comments bemoaning bad luck and a bit here and there could have made a difference. No chance. This team is garbage and the squad have about 5 or 6 capable players in it. Gil is your typical example, he does absolutely nothing of any significance in most games. Clark, he's poor, he's going to be the same next season. We have 2 centre backs who struggle to play 2 games in a week. Good luck to them next season. We have a board who have no idea what they are doing, they can't even conjure up a single transfer this month and we make every excuse under the sun for them.

They are as incompetent as the team. In fact the team resembles the board down to a tea. No fight, no intelligence, no nous and giving up as soon as it gets hard. Pathetic the bunch of them. The grounds half empty because no one can be arsed watching our weekly defeat anymore and we lie to ourselves that next season these muppets are going to either grow a brain or suddenly discover they can play football.

Excellent post, couldn't have summed it up better myself!


But Fox might sell three football shirts

There are lot of half and half scarfs here but Fox has no revenue from that source. May be something he ought to think about?

Is Richards playing centre forward or is he stupidly out of position and can't be arsed to get back?

I keep hearing this "if people think we're/Villa are going to cruise the league in the Championship...", but don't think I've actually heard any Villa fan say that they think we'll cruise the Championship next season.

I have. Take a look at some threads on here if you have the time to find them.Sinclair and Gestede will do just fine next season, they're proven players, forgetting the fact they've both done the business one season in their careers and for Sinclair, who is what I'd consider a part time footballer, he's done nothing of consistent note for nearly 5 years.

There were a few (about a month ago), but they seem to have gone rather quiet lately.

He want's a glory goal to make himself look Ok and mask his massive inadequacies. Another clown who hasn't played much football for years.

We don't look like a team trying to get back into this.

FFS - Is there anyone happy with this? Are you people happy by trying to find someone that might have said something? Get a fucking grip - I am hurting with the situation.

Feeling like someone reminding you that you have an ugly nose at every fucking moment

I hope Garde recognises the need to offload Guzan, Gestede, Sinclair, Bacuna, Westwood, Gabby for next season. Basically, we need to start by rebuilding - from the foundations upwards; not hope that the proven non-performers can miraculously turn things around.
