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.”

I thought that was good as well. Lerner has made some poor decisions but my god this club has never caught a break the past few years.

Now that I have had a few rums to take edge off, I realise how just how bloody gutted I am about out situation.
My missus really needs to dust in here.

I have been expecting for this day since I chucked my season ticket in 2010.

The inevitability of it is what is really depressing.

Randy Lerner would you now please fuck off.

Rather annoyingly, Troy Deeney has now gone up a bit in my estimation. Even more so as it's upset some of the knuckledraggers.

Not strictly true. We've had a couple of stays of execution these past few years.

Why what's he done?

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?

I am sure even you can spot the difference.

Troy Deeney has obviously jumped into the DeLoren, nipped back to 1955 and returned home with an old school football attitude.

Fair play to him.

Oh, and both Lescott and Collywobbles can get fucked.

He was happy enough laying into our situation during the season prior to their game at Villa Park. He seems a lot more civil and considered there to his credit.

The thing about relegation: In our one hundred and forty two year history, we have been relegated in total from all divisions six times.  I have witnessed five.  I know I have posted this before but it needs to be put into significance.  I'm not optimistic about a swift return.

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.

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

What?

I've no problem with Pat Murphy at all.

He tells it as it is and I respect his opinion on most things. Especially the "shitty" way out club has been run in the last 5 years.

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.
