BBC reported VP as "near empty". I actually think 23k is fairly decent considering the current situation and the fact this result was a virtual foregone conclusion.
Absolute woeful. Tippy tappy football with lots of possession but no penetration and mistakes a plentiful. Just please don't keep blaming Guzan, Clark, Westwood as scapegoats. Veretout, Gil, Gana and Ayew are just as poor; they may be new signings and somehow they have more credibility with quite a few posters on here but I just don't understand why.
Quote from: BC Villain on January 30, 2016, 09:30:00 PMFirst time poster.Personally I would have liked a cup run. If certainly helped our league form last season, even though the final was a let down. The reality is that we struggle to compete with our first choice side, let alone make any changes. For a club of our size to have this situation as scandalous and negligent.I feel really sorry for Remi Garde. He's clearly a decent guy, very calm and composed and definitely a very intelligent guy who knows the game well. But you have to wonder how long he will be prepared to bang his head against a brick wall. Yes. That's right. Still being a big club has its ups and downs. Our rivals know we are bigger and have a wider reach than they would ever have, or could ever have combined together. Every now and then there's a blip. A little blip that we recover from. for them its what they are and who they are. And they know it. It's difficult but let them have their moment because you see, again, they have to wait for the mighty Aston Villa to fail, to trip up, to claim superiority over us. Its never anything that they have done over anyone meaningful period that allows them to think, well I'm not sure that they even really think it, that they even have any parity with us never mind supremacy.We know, and they know, that they have to crow about it now because fast forward a few seasons and it'll be back to normal. its painful first-timer but the mighty Aston villa have been here before and usually come back stronger than before. We're surrounded by a sea of shite and as ever the shite around us can't be the standard bearers for the area, for the Midlands. No, that's Aston Villa. Even from the Championship we'll still be the important name that the media will be talking about. That's why we're not just important for Villa fans, but for the Midlands as a whole. The Midlands needs us and the national media only care long-term about us.Stick in there first-timer. It'll be shit this season. But we are who we are and they are who they are. And they know it. Lords of all around us. And they hate it. You have to laugh, eh?

The Witton End was packed to the rafters by City but Witton Lane looked like 1/3 full, the Holte had a few in centre but vast empty spaces on sides and top tier and top tier in Trinity was closed. So not a brilliant sight. We basically had 16K in space for 36K.

That's what Lerner has done to us, less home fans than the fecking Albion.
