Now deleted?

That's why I can't find it then

if he's deleting Twitter posts it's because he's reacting before thinking first which is exactly what some people on here were afraid of

Can't find that one on my Twitter feed

He definitely said it. It was in reply to a fan that posted a video of a Ayew's non celebration.
It's daft anyway, some players don't over celebrate goals and it shouldn't be a gauge of how much they do or don't care. If Ayew has a bad attitude, then he's the hardest working "bad egg" I've ever seen play for us.

in some games last season he looked like he was the only one on the pitch who was bothered

Tony has just tweeted confessing he was angry at the non celebration of Ayew.


That's just plain bloody stupid.

Quite!  Brian Little never used to make a big thing about a Villa goal. Some players are like that.

What would Xia have made of Morley flicking the Vs at Saunders after he scored?

Gary Shaw was the same- even when scoring himself he looked almost apologetic or embarrassed sometimes. Can't understand the sudden anti Ayew sentiments as against Derby his work rate and application was first class. If anything at the moment he looks like a player who is trying too hard and not getting the luck his effort deserves.

Turning back to the main subject - As much as Dr Tony wishes to build a rapport with the fans he needs to let the management of the club discuss  all  things on the pitch not himself.  Bet RDM is fed up already with the interference.

Indeed. Unfortunately, it may well be another example of 'He who pays the piper...'   ???

Yes, now deleted.

I suspect managing the team will become difficult. Tony is clearly very determined to motor on. Should we be thankful for that, or slightly fearful?

For me, I'm pleased he is taking it on himself to drive us forward. He just has to be cautious at the level of insight he is giving us all, and from becoming a young Jesus Gill (I think that was the name if the notorious Athletico Madrid supremo)

Ayew having a face that looks like he's permanently got a turtles head ready to appear isn't his fault

Yesterday was the first game this season I haven't seen in full (either in person or on the box) so i have no idea how he played. But in all the games previous he's done more than his share of work. Yet since yesterday you'd think he'd turned into Cascarino judging by the bullshit about him on twitter

Losing games or a sticky period in our form when tension escalates is the test. He needs to keep his emotions in check. It's a lot like cutting wood. Measure twice cut once. In the case of Twitter or email, read twice before hitting send. Also don't do either when you are upset or you could lose a finger.

Haha, thanks for that M'lud. That's put a proper grin on me chops at long last. Lovely stuff.  8)

There appears to be a minority who actually embrace the owner's 'input' on transfers. I wonder if they were so supportive of Doug getting rid of most of the '82 side or interfearing with any buys SGT or BFR wanted to make.

In time I hope he'll strike the correct balance. Communication is good, but he needs to be careful not to alienate our staff.
