Anyway, he's on the way so the poll and comments are now academic.

I'm so unbothered by this.

That worries me about Villa these days. The degree to which I just shrug my shoulders about the stuff we do and don't get too worked up about it.






obviously, I appreciate this is one of those tedious OMG!!11!!! I just don't care anymore!!! posts.

I would love to hear Bruce say why this is a good move. At 36 and £60k per week I cannot see it is a good addition to the playing staff, nor to having a good influence on the academy. He brings too much baggage. But the dressing room at Villa has a bad reputation, too many players underperform. THe one think Terry has is the will to win.

Dwight Yorke recently said that the players need to 'stand up' and its fair comment. The dressing room looks to be in a state where there are no leaders and no serious commitment to dig in and grind out results. Dwight thought the Championship was 'very easy'. He was a very talented player, not many have his skill. But he always put a shift in, and that seems to be what is missing. Terry does that, for all his faults. If Bruce thinks he can make the work rate go up, I can see the argument.

But Terry does bring baggage, Bruce should explain why when the contract divides the fans he thinks it so important,

It's just as well we have a solid amount of season ticket holders who have no choice but to attempt to be supportive, regardless of form, weather or bastards playing for us.

Let's face it we've brought some arseholes we all still keep going. It's that or go up the asda with the Mrs

Nobody is taking my missus up the asda on a Saturday afternoon, thank you very much.

After a number of painful years I think most of us have developed this mindset as a defence mechanism. It would be nice to see a good few years and then see if everyone's up in arms at the first controversial decision.

How many supporters didn't want McLeish as manager in a poll ? Whilst those that don't want him clearly don't with a passion only 292 have bothered to vote , hardly the stuff of mass protest. All Villains I speak to don't like John Terry the person but a lot think he could be just the dose a medicine we need because love him or loathe him he's a winner on the football pitch and we need some winning mentality.

He played very little last season because he was a liability. He is slow, can't turn and not the player he was 2 years ago let alone 4. Baker will look a better bet 6 weeks in, and we will have to go 3 at the back to accommodate him. His passing ability is the only upside. As for this leadership stuff, fine being Mr Chelsea from 17, but coming into a new dressing room I think he will find it a struggle.

I'm glad you've finally grasped the concept of "over half".

And I see you still haven't grasped the concept of irony.

Ermmm... was it irony in the first seven posts you made whinging that 50.7% was over half?
