If we got rid of every player in the squad this summer I wouldn't be bothered. Truly the worst group of players I've ever seen in my time. How the hell did it come to this?

Just got home to see the evening sunlight glittering on the North Sea.  The football and the M6 traffic jams apart it has been a really nice spring day.

As for the football that is a very different crock of pig shit.

On the plus side, this made me laugh. A lot.

Hutton has cost us so many goals this season. He's absolute mince. I appreciate he tries, but he's a huge weak link.

Doesn't the term "weak link" suggest a part of the whole which is weaker than, and lets down the other, stronger constituent parts?

I agree with you on Hutton, but feel duty bound to point out that the other ten on the pitch are also lamentably shit too.

And to think some here were frotting at the prospect of our summer signings despite never hearing of them before.

I thought the same when I posted that. "Ads, you're implying that they're not all shit".

My second thought thereafter was why are you referring to yourself in the third person, you whopper. Must be an ex-manager thing.

I turned up at Bournmouth on day 1 having been on holiday for a month and hadn't seen us play since the Cup Final. I hadn't heard of any of the new signings and was impressed that Sherwood knew about them. I was even more impressed when Justhead scored the winner from a corner. I thought we'd found a new team that would finish 10th ish. New solid experienced defenders and a set piece striker. 

Got it a bit wrong then.

True, but I was guilty of it as much as the next fan though. I honestly thought we'd see Gestede score goals and become a bit of a cult hero. How wrong was I on that one.

If Amavi had stayed fit he'd have scored more. The ball in and the header for his second at Anfield was top draw.

And didn't he cross for the goal against Small Heath?

The timing of his injury hurt us. But I can't believe the complete lack of effort and commitment from our team.  Bunch of tossers.

He did SH. The only highlight of the season. How sad, but still the worst Villa side ever brushing a supposed top 8 Championship outfit aside with ease second half, gives me hope.

It is the best bit of the season isn't it?
I love it when a Nose starts taking the piss - I just wait until they mention how many we have won and then - BOOM - depthcharge!
