Aston Villa vs Man City Post-Match Thread

[Goldie.7]

Will someone start a West ham thread? May as well pretend to be optimistic.

No one's got the energy right now.

And so the wait goes into the 60th year. I refuse to drop dead until I see us win this poxy, over-hyped bloody cup.

I'm living to 100. We gave 57 more stabs left.

Let's be honest - if you can afford a tenner you can afford £15. It's hardly expensive. 17k home fans for a first team game is shit.

£15? £20 muggins here paid and just before I had handed my money over they had scored! Several walked out of the ticket office at that time and I must say I was judgemental.

Yeah where I sit it would have been 20 notes. I didn't want to go and blew it on a cracking Cantonese earlier instead. Money well spent

Concern is that we have maybe and I say maybe 5 or 6 players that if we rest a number of them, the whole shape, desire and basic ability goes completely out of the window, we are left with the likes of Richards, Bacuna, Clark, Westwood, Sinclair, Guzan, subs like Gabby, Richardson god forbid CNZ, all players who have time and time again let down Aston Villa, there is a disease running through the club, how this has happened has been debated to hell and back, but until the disease is removed and ruthlessly as a football club we will not be able to compete at any decent level befitting AVFC.

[mr underhill]

You might well be right, but can you see any owner sanctioning the paying off of so many contracts to remove it ? There is a monumental task ahead - keeping hold of the few who are worth it, weeding out the ones that have to go either through paying them off or hoping some mug punter might fancy one or two of them, and then attracting new blood who both want to play for us and improve us, without plunging the club into fiscal suicide. Those conditions would test the most understanding of owners and a manager of SAF's quality in his pomp.

[Mortimer's Bear]

Apathy everywhere, this could takes years to put right.

[pbavfckuwait]

Mr. Underhill totally agree with you, what I am trying to highlight is the fact as a functioning football club, we are not and have not for far to long functioned and those that think a season in the chumpionship is the answer maybe in for a rude awakening.

[QuintonVilla]

Villa, though... they've given up as a club. their fans did no more than shrug and trudge out after our fourth. no remonstrating, no anger, just passive. They're resigned to the Championship and will do nothing to stop themselves, it seems.


A post from Bluemoon forum. Sums it up. Apathy everywhere.
