After the 30 thousand players we have bought, I still don't think we have bought the right players. No one compliments each other in this team.
They're all the best players, motivators and several club captains.....then they put our shirt on

Anyone still think this charlatan isn't the issue?
I'm struggling to see what the issue is any more. Despite changing managers and entire squads, we just seem to get worse.
Me neither, it don't make any sense. I said it earlier but we are a graveyard for managers.
Bruce has a great track record, what's going on?

Bruce is a shithouse he can fuck off.

Swap Bruce for the Barnsley guy

We have to be one of the most consistent teams in English Football - what more could you ask for ?

I have to admit I was secretly hoping the crowd would sing "You don't know what you're doing" when Bruce took off Lansbury.

Aston Villa are relentlessly bad. We will approach the tipping point soon, after 6/7 years of what seems like almost constant poor football and defeats where the fan base starts to be affected. Youngsters particularly aren't going to want to support a club that is seen as a laughing stock.

When was the last time we scored a second half goal? It's been so long I really can't remember off the top of my head.

Bruce is not the answer.  He is Alex McLeish Mk2.

This is where Bruce's record in relegation battles becomes relevant.

Back to hoping there are worse teams than us to fill the relegation spots.

I thought we'd finished with that.

We probably haven't even Reached our low point yet.

I feel sorry for anyone who has a ticket for Newcastle

Oh I don't know, tens of thousands of Geordie feckers are probably looking forward to it.
