I can't go anywhere...

I have to say, leaning against a lampost, holding a large bundle of magazines, shouting "Heroes & Villains, Villa Fanzine" half gave the game away.

Got a bit lost with the thread and thought Jimmy Greaves had fallen on hard times.

What are you trying to say about Dave's enterprise?

Selling fanzines is a funny old game.

Jimmy Greaves was the prototype "slow" "lazy" "selfish" "overrated" "too small" "can't head the ball" devastatingly clinical goal scorer of his generation.
Gerd Muller couldn't play football ;)

Just looked at his games/goals record. What a record!!

1963–1964   1861 Nördlingen   games 31   goals 51
1964–1979   Bayern Munich   games 453 goals 398

                   West Germany   games 62   goals 68

What a record!!

Ive changed my mind. I actually think we’d have a better chance albeit still slim with him gone before the playoffs.

Up or not, I don’t want him as our manager. If by some miracle we are promoted, a pat on the back, a pleasant something in an envelope and best wishes. He’s just not cut out for it here.

After the shtick about not changing the team after Wolves he's (hopefully) rubber stamped his own P45 after serving up this fucking shambles.

He’s bottled it again. It’s what he does. He ended last season with a shit record and this one is going the same way. I don’t have much faith in us irrespective of who we play in the play offs at this point.

Whatever's happened since Wolves, the players have stopped giving everything for him. The way they've strolled around today, you'd have thought we'd already won the league.

At whatever point our season ends, the man should be relieved of his duties.

Yes blame the players, who is in charge of the players?

Yep. I’m absolutely fucking done with him.
