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 c***. 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. c***.

What's he said that's so offensive to you?

Years of his shitty reporting about our club have built up a nice little obssessive hatred of the bloke from me. Always wants to make the story about himself and I always pick up little snide digs at us. 

Several well respected fans here disagree and hold him in esteem.  I accept I am in a minority, but a growing one I hope I just cant stand the man.

I think he tells it as it is. Let's face it we've deserved the vast majority of criticisms that have been thrown at us these last 6 years.

The worst BBC employee ever? Er, Jimmy Saville? Or worse, Ian Wright. You're welcome.

I agree I don't think he's Villa hating at all. I also think the personal abuse is a bit much.

Can we now field a team of players that actually want to be here next season please?

[tony scott]

This is my 4th relegation with the Villa, and its by far the worst, the least they can be expected to do, is take to the last two fixtures.

Bring your boots next week.

4th for me too and this is by far the worst Villa team I have ever seen. Previous shit teams had less technical ability but so did there peers in those days but at least Villa teams of old competed. This year, for the first time in my life, it feels like we withdraw from the league and football has carried on without us.

My third, and I take your point.

[PeterWithesShin]

Technically third for me as I was born in March 1970 so we were about to drop to the third division. This is the most gutless side i've ever seen, closely followed, not surprisingly be the 86/87 side. And they didn't fight for their lives every game, they still finished bottom, well adrift of safety and took some right pastings, despite being, on paper at least imo, a side that should have been at least comfortable mid-table as it was a better squad than a lot of the division.

Yup, he knows his onions alright.

[themossman]

Good piece. This line about Lerner, with reference to the Cleveland Browns, should be his epitaph:

“He wasn’t a good owner by any means, but he wasn’t a lucky one, either.”
