The Dismembered Corpse of Aston Villa (R) v Tottenham Hotspur Post-Match Thread

[BC54 VFC]

A message to the woman who sits in Seat F160 of the Lower Doug Ellis Stand:

I hope you're really proud of yourself for getting the middle-aged couple who were Spurs fans, and sitting in seats F161 and F162, removed at half-time. They weren't causing any trouble and you made yourself look a complete and utter idiot. It's people like you that give football, and Aston Villa in particular, a bad name. Yes, I know that tickets are sold on the basis that they are used by home fans but was it really necessary for you to bawl in each of their faces until stewards arrived; I thought that the couple showed great restraint.

If we aren't careful we are going to be in a relegation fight.

[Warren Aspinall]

Watching us this season, the following has become the norm.

0-30 mins: have faint hope that as we're not losing yet, we may hold out & even nick one.
30-60 mins: watch us go from conceding a comical 1st goal to total disintegration.
60-80 mins: only keep watching purely to see how many leave on 74 mins.
80-90 mins: listen to the songs in the holte & marvel at how they range from pisstake to bile

It was crap and cold.

This weekend has really brought it home. Went to watch Bromsgrove yesterday and really enjoyed watching a game of football and had fun. Watching a team of players that fought for everything and are lucky if they get paid their expenses.
Then today off it's to VP to be bored watching multimillionaire 'professional' footballers show a fraction of the effort and commitment I saw yesterday.

Have begun to watch Redditch Utd. The level of commitment is light years ahead of the Villa men boys and these are guys who don't drive fancy cars or live in mansions. Perhaps the way to go..

We're not very good...

I know, I'm honestly starting to think we might not stay up,
no really I am

[andyh]

An utter fucking waste of 86 mins.
By then I was cold and bordering on being comatose through boredom, so left.

Garde is changing and offering nothing.
The players even less.

I assume you mean stay up in the Championship?

[Villatillidie1982]

It wasn't lack of effort today. They worked hard before the goals and could have, with a bit of luck, been a goal up. Lack of concentration cost the goals and then the confidence went. But I don't think that the effort did.

You can't necessarily blame the players if they aren't good enough. It's years of poor signings and sales and poor decisions that have put the club in this position. Lerner has wasted his money because he is an incompetent baffoon.

Sacking another manager isn't the answer. Garde must be given some chance to bring in his own players and at least until November to get the club near the top of the Championship.

Well done to the stewards for removing the banners. It is a minority of hotheaded agitators putting silly ideas into the heads of the silent majority of fans about our owner. (aka Kim Jong Lerner)
Despite the distraction caused by these politically motivated troublemakers, I'm really pleased with our 3-0 win today. 

[Toronto Villa]

Well I guess I won't be buying FIFA 17. No Villa Park in the game.

Well I suppose it gives our mercenary non Villa fan stewards a little bit of excitement. Different to guarding the checkout at Tesco for minimum wage.

[Ian.]

What was the team that tore the maybe champions apart for 45 minutes going into to the break 2-0 up?
What has happened? Ok we are very very shit but how have we got so shit?

[nuninho]

I think Loftus Road is still in Fifa 16 so you should be fine...

[exigo]

Mathematicians say we can still get to 40 points.
