West Ham vs Aston Villa Post Match Thread

[Richard E]

1 win in 13 and no attempt to get back in the game after we went behind.  And still the mugs and sheep defend this utterly clueless manager.  Yes the board are a joke, but I hope to god he's gone by the morning.  I hate the guy.  Worst manager we've ever had.

Hate? For what?

Your drivel on here is far more hate inducing than anything Garde has tried to do!

Wake up sheeple!

You hate a Villa manager?

You do realise this is forum for Villa and not the Noses or Sandwell?

[Keeno]

Remi, show you're as fucked off as we are, and hand in your letter, matey, with our blessing.

Yes.

This. And its sickening it has come to this.

Worse than McNeill? Doubt it.

Anyhoo, playing well, should have had a penalty. Shocking decision not to give it. Head fuck from Ayew, you gormless fucking moron and then we capitulate. No one on the bench to change it. Bacuna was fucking diabolical, Gil a lazy twat. Their goal was offside, then they score from our corner.  A night to forget for the officials, terrible.

So what you doing still here

[Fin Feds Dad]

Not one player could look Garde in the eye and shake his hand on way off pitch .

And I know this is stating the obvious - but something ain't right .

Whether they were annoyed / embarrassed at losing again or there is a serious rift between manager and players - it looked very bad to me .

Wouldn't surprise me if he walked very soon - sad times .

If you've just lost why would you be shaking the manager's hand, why would he want to shake yours?

To me it shows they're all pissed off with the outcome (as they should be), no smiles, no hand shakes just pissed off, and, leave me alone for a while stance, just like I and most of us feel after most games this season.

It's not even true, i watched and saw several of them shaking his hand.

Only when he made the first move .

[curiousorange]

I fear statistically, LTA will have a point. But like most data, unless you know the context it's not much use. Garde is clearly far from being the worst manager we've ever had.

[rob_bridge]

No manager we have ever had is worse than McNeill - we have had useless managers and we have had managers who didn't give a shit

We never had one who perfected both with such expertise and execution.

[Locko]

Unfortunately it is all too easy to work out the manner of Remi's betrayal.  When he came he was promised adequate funds.  He would not have come without that assurance. The board would not have invited him to come without that assurance.  Enter Steve Hollis, as Ads describes him perfectly our de facto administrator, and "adequate" funding to bring in the players Remi Garde wants becomes "within our projected budget parameters"

That is precisely what I think has happened.

How would we expect Hollis - the man Randy had to 'persuade' to take the job - to understand that, what with him being a self confessed "not a football man".

The ineptitude from Lerner is just staggering. He can't even extricate himself from the scene without utterly fucking it up.

The bloke has been a disaster.

And that hopeless sap Hollis is parachuted in half through the transfer window, which given our predicament was make or break. So Randy even manages to balls up the blokes appointment and the planned transfer window that Garde and Fox were summoned to New York to orchestrate and his own exit stage left. Omnishables ain't close. Lerner is the most gormless fucker on earth, just seeing his smug, stupid face provokes violent urges... Trust fund wanker that he is.

And the fool of the year award goes to.....

Do you realise that the one thing that Sherwood and Garde had in common was not only the piss poor board but also the truly abysmal team? Watching richardson tonight was painful, even more so because we are paying him to play. Ayew is undisciplined and cost us the game but even before that, not one player showed any passion, leadership or any attempt to get into positions and take on west ham. They are resigned to defeat, most likely hoping they will get places elsewhere and have no fight in them. Garde is not a bad manager but is too good for the villa as it will ruin his career. This club is toxic, they are weak, cowardly and a fucking disgrace to the once proud might that was Aston Villa and each one of the sycophantical board needs to get out. I feel for the players as they are poundland players dressed up as waitrose ones. They are not good enough, the entire squad needs shaking up. And gabby, get a backbone and get it quick as he is going from hero to zero.

It isnt garde as he is living proof that nobody can polish a turd without ending up being covered in shit

[castlefields_villan]

After the sending off you just watch and wait for the defeat, its so utterly shit, I try to hide how I feel with family and friends and especially the Albion/Blues rabble at work who have cranked things up with me recently but its
very hard to keep your guard up, I've been going down the Villa over 50 years so have seen the 67/70/87 relegations but cant remember ever feeling this low.

[/b]



Pretty much sums up how I feel at the moment - I started going in 66-67 aged 9 and was too young to appreciate what relegation from the top division meant - in 1987, Doug appointed SGT and I knew we'd be on the way back - but times have changed drastically at the top in 29 years and after 5 years of struggle I've never felt so low about it all.

I Put the blame for losing tonight firmly on Ayew's shoulders - as others have already said, everything was going really well until then - and - it's not as though it's the first time he's showed his anger in the wrong way recently.  I said earlier, win tonight and Saturday and Norwich and a few others might just start shaking - I won't accept it until it's mathematical but Saturday would be the must win game of any must win game EVER.

We were doing well until Jordan Ayew got himself stupidly sent off. Then the tide turned.

Positives? Bunn had a decent game, as did Richards. Gabby got more than his infamous eight touches.

Richardson for Gil - why?

Dunno what it looked like on the box but Gil was shite. Too frail and feeble for a scrapping match.

But that isn't what you said, is it?

The onyl reason i picked this up was because i noticed Lescott walked straight past him whereas the rest of them - most of them - shook his hand.

[ktvillan]

Probably the final nail in the coffin and how fitting that it was hammered in by one of our own. 

One does wonder, with the sheer scale of ineptitude displayed by Lerner and his lickspittles, just how low he can take us.
