Turned to my mate when the second goal went in and said the only plus we have is not having goal music at VP.

I don't think we need it.

I really wish we would play that pressing game that forces mistakes and creates momentum. We are the absolute antithesis of that. One paced (slow), lacking movement, passive, poor ball retention. It's the perfect storm that gives the kind of match stats we are seeing.

We are playing a different game to most teams in this division and it's getting worse. This despite having some real talent in the squad. Utterly demoralising.

Thought I'd give it until this morning to give my two pence worth, too angry when I got in last night.
Sorry to go all Swiss Tony but:

The Villa, for me, are akin to a beautiful woman who I love with all my heart and always will. I have done for decades. I spend lots of money on her and go away with her every weekend, where I lavish yet more money and time on her.
My friends think I'm delusional for this.
She makes me sad, mad and angry but I still love her.
She in turn couldn't give two shits about my devotion but only wants me for my money and makes no effort to even look nice anymore.

She'll give you a dose of the dreaded syph before she's done, 5 Tats, and fuck up your credit rating after squeezing out what is left of your toothpaste.

We'd last about half an hour playing that way before the majority of them would be out of puff.

Wasn't it Reading away last season that we all thought we had turned the corner and "Don't look back in anger" was played over the tannoy and became a bit of an anthem.
Even that's turned to shit, we haven't reached our low point yet.
