Fans Worried Over Villa Future

[ROBBO]

Lucky enough over here to watch a piece of history, even though the late time means i'm knackered today.
You always knew Arse were going to score and it did nothing but harm to my blood pressure but I did enjoy seeing O'neill Pacing the line and talking to the players during the game. I think he will be aware now as th where we need to strengthen but time is of the essence. Hopefully availeable players will be more willing to sign after that result.

Well my eldest Son has his boots ready, if needed. A hard working central defender/central midfield player. His season finished Saturday with a 6-3 win and a League Title (must be me helping to coach then for the past 8 weeks, they have won every game since).
 
My youngest Son is not available until the transfer window re-opens as I am not prepared to sell him (or give him away) while there are still games to be played. He scored a superb 20 yard goal on Saturday. Cut in from the left hand side on the edge of the box and hit a beautiful right foot curling shot into the right hand corner.  =D>  =D>

Would they play for England or New Zealand? JD we have enough hard working midfielders what we need is someone who's a bit special, your youngest may have a chance, I'll give MON a call.
Seems that every player we are linked with are now a requirement of other clubs, it was a good effort against Arse but we will struggle if we cannot get a bit of quality in to the side.

I agree. We need some creativity in the middle of the park (Petrov, Malbranque etc, etc). Please, please sign someone to give us that spark.  [-o<  [-o<

Obviously we've got a long way to go, but that was top 4 defending. The difference is that we then don't have the players with  good enough ability to then push teams like Arsenal back on their heels when a move breaks down. Time and time again we gave the ball back. That's what O'Neill has got to attempt to do. McCann played excellently, but we need that type of performance from a better type of player. One who can do the defensive work, but then look to attack when we have possession. We don't have that at the amount.

However, in saying that it has been vastly under mentioned that our goal started in our own half. An Arsenal move broke down on the edge of our box through, again, great defending. We must have passed the ball 10-15 times before winning the corner. Then, bomp, 1-0. If Arsenal had scored it everyone would have been enthusing about the patient, confident, build-up play.

What time is k/o on Wed?

I'm worried for this site. If it wasn't for this thread, the Lerner thread of 36 pages- mere amateur attempt-, then there would be only 2 other threads. Due to the 50 or so springing up that are all the same there is no diversity. Are we dying on our backsides? Are we now saying we've got nothing to discuss because we are happy? Is this just a post to make sure this thread slips no further?

[ROBBO]

I agree , how many threads either turn into my dicks bigger than your dick or they go off at a tangent that bears no relation to the thread line.
Sometimes they that must be obeyed should get a grip especially Mac who is wisdom personified.

[peter w]

Exactly Robbo. 240 odd pages in and we're still worried about Villa. Will the money ruin us, will it be different and we forget our roots, will we look down on the likes of Tottenham, Everton etc when we're in the big 5? Will we all state that we are no longer the proleteriat, but bourgeois pigs that will protest the framework of the state from these lowly oiks.

And people want to lock this thread?

I wonder what the reception would have been if we had not won lastt night. I fully expect to lose on Saturday, and deep down we all hope this bubble of optimism never bursts. What happens when we get the reality check? A 3-0 reverse, say, no new players coming in, the players we have, and the unbridled optimism hurt, it will be a long road to Christmas. I think the next 7 days will make or break our season. there's only so much one man can make a sow's ear looking like a silk purse.

Or is O'Neill that good?

my car radio would have been ok and we wont lose 3-0 sat cos we are playing sunday! WE ARE having a reality check. To get 4 points so far with this lot is nothing short of a miracle. Those long cold winter nights in AbDab land must just fly by.

Pick a page and read it over and over again. Same effect.

[JD]

Ah but Peter, how do you know that? Have you read the entire thread and seen a certain poster lose their sanity?  8-[

[ROBBO]

I'm worried that after two games we are only fifth.

[peter w]

Sunday? What times kick-off? Is it live over there? I'll get it live anyway, but I wasn't aware we were playing on Sunday. Oh, 'er indoors will be soooo happy.
