Compare Darren Bents reaction to that utter tear Lescott's.

Sad to see my former club villa go down today. Painful for everyone associated with the club. Hopefully they will be back very soon. #avfc

Cheers Darren. Decent of you.

That's the annoyance for me, that it's been drummed in from the clubs actions last 5 years that we're not good enough for the premier league and so should be grateful to be going down to the championship where we can win some games.

That's it, there. Expectations have been steadily lowered since 2010, and now some people are talking about Settling into a legue where we might win a game or two. There lies the path to League One.

Nice touch from Mr Bent.

And don't worry Ciggies, i'll still talk to you. Which thinking about it, is probably your punishment for liking Kiddy!

Spot on again. Our 6 season decline has been staggering and we've finally gone with barely a whimper. This is Aston Villa we're talking about.

Bwahaha

It's over. It's a mathematical certainty.

What a relief.

And what an injustice that it didn't happen three weeks sooner (three wins all season).

[Ron Manager]

Im down Im really down
Im down, down on the ground
Im down Im really down
How can you laugh when you know Im down.

But we will be back.

Good god, three wins all season. Have we ever gone a season with so few wins before?

Pat Murphy's had his say, and while it's mostly sensible he does say that the players he'd keep include Clark, who he'd make captain, Rudy Gestede, and Ashley fucking Westwood. He wouldn't keep Veretout or Adama Traore, it seems. I'm expecting more of this kind of nativism, the idea that our failure is down to soft-wristed foreigners and that we need more British Blokes.

Sorry for my language but today is an emotional day. (spoilered Pat Murphy abuse)

Spoiler for Hiden:

Pat Murphy you can FUCK OFF you pompous villa hating ******. You are without a doubt the worst employee of BBC sport ever and you are a disgrace to its name. Lucky for for you the BBC does not sack incompetents like you but be under no illusions we know the score. You are a fucking imbecile. Now FUCK OFF AWAY FROM MY CLUB. Hopefully when we come back up you will have been retired or packed off to cover the fucking basketball or something equally shit you are fit for. ******.

[Steve R]

i can see what Lescott is trying to say, he is trying to say something positive, he just isn't saying it very well. His mistake is not appreciating that this is not the time to draw attention to yourself.

It is all very well Collymore getting uppity about it all, at least Lescott is doing something to meet his contractual obligations.

Is he? What's that then?

Just got up to the news. Feeling relieved in a perverse sort of way.

Good to hear the fans did the right thing with dignity and not Geordieesque hysterics.

Surprised so many on his thread havn't mentioned the part Paul Lambert has played in this. I'd rank him almost above Lerner in why we are where we are today.
