Fans Worried Over Villa Future

[Rudy Can't Fail]

No Dave but I think you should be fined £5 for continuously promoting Tamworth. :-$

[Chris Jameson]

This is ridiculous. Can we please get back on topic and discuss the important issue rather than all this frivolity?

Is Duncan Norvelle gay?

[Matt G]

Top thread.  Paul Hendries a Bluenose, that makes that waste of space Lee Hendrie a Bluenose poof who wants to make whoopee with Laughing Gravity.

Did I mention O'Leary out?

Even better than the Barton's classic!

What? Me, the third duke of Hill Top, promoting Tamworth FC who play at The Lamb Ground, Kettlebrook, Tamworth, roll up, roll up only a tenner to stand on real terracing, come on it's better than watching Villa and you all know it?

What were they thinking?

Chin chin!

And with the score now standing at a healthy 72, we hand over to the night shift.

It may be the night shift for you, but my day is just beginning here in China. I can't be bothered to read the previous posts, so I am not going to make any comment relevant to this thread other than Jesus was not bent, but his boyfriend, Judas, was.

Judas wasn't just bent, he was a dodgy backstabber.  :-

I hoped MR Gravity was going to re appear and continue. for 70 pages I've been saving my 'back to reality ther goes Gravity' gag. now I've got to decide whether DuncamNorvelle is gay instead. Well if he isn't then there can't have been a holocaust.Any other gays who may or may not be? Green from Scritti Politti?Garth Crooks?Mark Lawrenson? Steve McDonald from Coronation St?Pat Nevin?Carl lewis?Prince Edward?Nick Hancock? Tom Cruise?Jason Donovan?

You tend to find that those that constantly bang on against homosexuality, oo er, are closet gays themselves. They just haven't found the right time to express their true feelings have man love/lust. maybe if Mr Mooney has homophobic tendencies, we should give him a hug and tell him that in us he has friends. We love him for who he is, and if he wishes to stab shit, or turd burgle, we can only be there for him.

Oh, and Les Dawson can play the piano. Well, could. It was said that anyone who could play a whole song just a key off could play the piano to a high standard. Plus, he was great on blankety blank. So much better than Wogan.

Oh, the good old days, Les Dawson, Eric Morecambe, Bob Monkhouse, Sid James, Tommy Cooper...who we got now? David Baddiel? Has he ever said anything remotely funny? Now Frank has dropped him, how does he earn a living?

Mind you at least we don't have Little & Large and Cannon & Ball anymore. Just French and Saunders. Ho fucking ho.

If Jon Fear pulled an outrageously fit bird with big tits and had her on his arm at every press event, would people hate him more or would we pull behind VFC hoping to see her jugs?

By the way, what is the record for the longest thread? I know the Bartons hit page 374, but can anyone give a definitive answer? Oh, and all those that hounded that poor landlord chap out of a job,home, and a happy life, is it a better pub now?

If we beat Man City on Monday night, can we change the title of this thread to Villa fans Deliriously happy with David O'Leary. European football is now just a step away. Who really is to blame for our current predicament?

1) The Players - just not performing. Performance levels are not up to standard.

2) Coaching staff - Not getting the players right for a game. The players do not seem to put in a full 90 minutes and we'ew nearly into November.

3) The manager - He picks the team , gives the talks, maybe decides on tactics, tries to motivate the team. Are his players not good enough, are his staff not good enough.

4)The chairman - Although funds were given. Are they 'substantial' enough. Is his hold on power distracting the manager who feels the need to back him up, and therefore affecting the team.

5) The fans - constant whinging and moaning. Players aren't confident because fans are on their back. Teh relationship with the manager is aas low as its ever been.

6) The media - The constant deriding of the club over the years makes us seem a worse prospect to join than we really are. The impression is of a club that is based on rooten wood that is about to collapse. The media give the impression that  our upwardly mobile neighbours are exciting and we are pointless. This also affects fans.

7) VFC/ ST - Are these a problem? Constant back biting and poisonous relations with each other, and the club surely takes its toll. Why would Ellis want to see us happy when we've fucked him off for so long?

History - Has the fact that we were a great club over 100 years ago, and for 2 years in the 80's finally come back to haunt us. Is it a millstone around or necks? Does any other club live off the back off things that were achieved so long ago?

Finally, is this just symptomatic of football. If we win 2 or 3 on the bounce do all these questions go away? Do we really care about Ellis/DOL etc if we end up in Europe? Is the back biting only a frustrated football fans knee jerk reaction to seeing the team not being more successful? Something isn't right at VP and I think all of the above apply. Villa have been a highly political club for as long as my memory of history stretches back. This is just the next stage. Is it time to batten down the hatches and pull together to prepare for the next chapter in our history? Afterall it is our motto.

No, but many live of false marketing that would have you believe that they were once great. The poor deluded northern stripey bastards spring to mind.
