Honestly, I know it’s disappointing to lose in the way we did, but there is some absolute fucking shit being written on here. If you’re that convinced that everything is rubbish, we’re shit and definitely going down then don’t bother watching anymore. The game I was at we should have been 2 or 3 up before they scored, only an unbelievable save from their keeper and a pass from Jack when he should have shot kept them in it. We had more possession, more corners and more shots, and in the end we’re undone by a dodgy penalty and a mistake from a defender starting his first game in months. Unfortunately it’s a tough league, and sometimes these things go against you. What’s pissing me off more than anything else though is this attitude that Smith is useless and we have got a team that is not up to it. Have you seen us in the last 10 years? Do you remember what we looked like a little over 12 months ago? This team, by and large, is full of young players getting a full season at this level for the first time and they are trying their bollocks off - just look at the previous 2 home games for evidence. They are going to get things wrong, but they will also get better together the longer they have.

Villa have been very poor for about 7 or 8 full years now and the days of being consistently prem standard are long gone, we have to get used to this and be patient. We're going to be poor for the foreseeable and just have to hope that there is a plan to sign some decent footballers after Grealish is sold.We have been poor for ten full years. I think the decline set in about this time ten years ago when we lost the League Cup final under O'Neill? I recall a 7-1 thrashing against Chelsea soon after and a dreadful couple of results to end that season.We were still competitive under Houllier IMO.

Yeah. During a hard day at my well-paid job, I do find it difficult to perform my basic tasks without all 42,000 of my adoring fans getting behind me in full voice.

Absolute sickening to lose it like that but we played really well, in one of the best games I’ve seen this season. I still think we’ll stay up, but we just have to try and stop giving the ball away in dangerous areas. Mings and Engels must be our centre back partnership for the rest of the season.
The guy shoold enver paly for us again. He has relegated us with that mistake the absolute dick

Engels had a great game, it happens. Keep going, keep fighting.

No wonder we’re accused of being fickle.A great post Pat, agree with everything you’ve saidDamn straight.I would like to associate myself with these comments.
