Very confused by Xia's tweet and what he thinks he can gain by posting that publicly. If intended as a warning you'd expect it to be directed via appropriate channels. Not being in the country currently doesn't mean he can't meet the manager, or even a call to Wyness addresses the situation directly. We're half way through a massive season which could go either way and our Chairman is tweeting that we're not good enough. I like Tony but it's not exactly helpful...

I see the Cleveland browns are still no where near recovering  from the lerner years. They've just recorded a 0 wins out of 16 season. Things could have been so much worse for the Villa with Lerner still in charge.

Basically he calls it as he sees it, which in some respects is refreshingly honest!

Bruce’s post match interview. Saturday.

‘We’ve had a horrible one.  We’ve made too many mistakes, lettin’ The young lad Britton run 50 yards for the first was a mistake.  I’ve got nine injuries and maybes I should have freshened it up a bit.  Battt the players out there were still capable of gettin’ a result here against a very good side.

It doesn’t help when certain people take to this social meeja to comment on how crap we are.  I don’t like this Facebook nonsense.  I just wished people would post statuses that make sense.  I suppose it’s the world we live in now.  I don’t like it battttt that’s the way it is.’

I genuinely can't tell if that's what he actually said, or if it is your very accurate portrayal of him.

I don't get the attention over this tweet. He was responding to an appology by Barry Fry, by accepting the appology but also noting that we still have a long way to go. Nothing more as far as I can see.

About his social media activities, the world has changed and is changing fast. What was relevant even five years ago doesn't necessarily apply today. We don't have to like it, but this is the way things are now.

The African Car Reverser first entered the H&V consciousness this month five years ago (the season of the cornalty). You're not questioning his evergreen relevance, are you?

The African Car Reverser may have been five years ago, but I can only assume he's still reversing, so consider it ten at least.

These are getting a bit tedious now.
