Bruce Sacked at last (now official)

[Archbishop Herbert Cockthrottle]

The only people wanting Bruce to stay now are the greengrocers within a two mile radius of Aston.  They're hoping the Swansea game will be like a harvest festival.

I'm bringing four tins of baked beans and a jar of pickled onions.

Darren Bent even worse saying it's Bruce being a former Birmingham manager that makes fans not taking to him.
And that fans need to be patient
And that we are only 2 points off and not like second bottom of league so he feels Bruce is still the man for the job!

Ok, so it is.

Blame it on him being a former Birmingham City manager.
Blame it on those fickle Villa fans whose expectations are set to high.
Blame it on our fans not being patient.
Blame it on Villa Park being a circus.
Blame it on Villa fans being hysterical.

Blame it on the boogie for all I care, just so long that you are fucked off today.

It's odd, it's not about hoping he'll be sacked - it's more just surprise that he hasn't been already.

Liam Rosenoir nailed it on Sky Debate. He has watched all our games this season:

get him in

[Drummond]

Whoever takes caretaker charge only has to set us up in a common sense fashion for us to win on Saturday.

That means

Nyland

Hutton Chester Tuanzebe Taylor

Bolasie McGinn Grealish El-Ghazi

Kodjia Abraham

Subs: Bunn Bree Elmo Bjarnasson Adomah RHM Hogan

Players playing where they should, their natural position. Simple, basics.

[Duncan Shaw]

Won't Chester be banned?

[andyh]

The cabbage thrower should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.

They could have, at the very least, wrapped it in pitta with processed spiced lamb and chilli sauce.

[Risso]

Won't Chester be banned?

I think Drummond is assuming that it gets overturned.

[Drummond]

Won't Chester be banned?

I think Drummond is assuming that it gets overturned.

I am indeed, there's no way he should have been sent off. If he is banned, then I'd stick Bree in there and promote someone from the Under 23s.

Not necessarily, that's a powder puff midfield and Taylor is one of the worst players I've ever seen in a Villa shirt.  There is no right formation, it's all about opinions.  But I think we can all agree playing four right backs is not the answer.

[Des Little]

Drummond should get banned for coming on here with wild common sense suggestions like players playing in their proper position.  Madness!

7 wins in 21 games since beating Wolves.

Stan Collymore says something sensible about the villa. "Whelan is a great pro but he hasn't scored since 1935. Can someone please explain why he took a pen ahead of Bolassie, Grealish, McGinn? Bruce has to go"

[mr underhill]

if he's still here after the weekend i'm voting with my feet and not going again until he's history.

I agree with that. We played a similar system at Blackburn and just scraped a 94th minute draw. Plus whenever Taylor is started H&V pretty much crashes in outrage.
