It's in that corridor of uncertainty between bat and pad.

Another run taken, but what this thread needs is an exciting injection of shot selection by Laughing Gravity, to get the score moving along again.

Ideally we could do with Mr Gravity becoming the new fans leader and standing shoulder to shoulder with ianrobo whilst issuing VFC's latest statement regarding the ongoing Ellisout/Udal/Norvelle/Prince William/how ianrobo is always right and was telling people as long as 5 whole years ago that Ellis was bad (he was slow to catch on wasn't he?)/Seth situation.

I don't hold out much hope for 200 to be honest.

When the Comer story broke the other week, did anyone see ianrobo's "thread of thanks" on Villatalk where he decided to thank all the people who he thought helped him get rid of Doug from Villa Park??

It was the funniest thing i've read in ages.
and here was me thinking that Ellis had a big ego!

There are only two people who can remove Doug from Villa Park. One is Doug himself and the other in the Grim Reaper.
People should know that by now. Doug's told us enough times.

Does anybody still believe that if Ellis was to sell up today things at Villa Park would get better?

I think there's been a general malais'e around Villa Park for eighty years exept for the occassional year of Sunshine. I started watching Villa in the fifties and yes we won the F.A cup and were the pre cup favourites every year but we always seemed even then to constantly finish mid table. I think we've become desensitised to mediocrity, many on this site that were decrying our mid table finish of last year would at this stage deem it a successful season if we obtained the same result. I believe we need someone with no attachment to Villa to take control, a nasty visceous bastard who hasn't been tainted with years of accepting mediocrity and who will stop at nothing to acheive success. Attilla the Hun if he's still available. Like to see DOL explain himself to him with his piss weak excuses.

General Kim Jong -or something- from North Korea will be the one for me. See what he did to Hans Brix? This is one fearless guy, and DOL wouldn't stand a chance. I agree though Robbo, but this season more than any we've seemingly accepted that we are not what we think, and thought, every season. I think that it feels like one disappointment too many, and if it goes wrong at Sunderland, and we lose at home to Charlton, I think the crowd reaction will underline DOL's time at Villa. The other way round and at least 4 points and the crowd will give him a stay of execution.

I know hopes have been built up around the Sunderland game but when I've watched them this season they appear to play better than their position on the ladder. I just feel this sense of doom, how bad are we that all will be better if we beat the bottom side. Do you really think that deadly will weild the axe when negotiations are still at hand? do you think that the potential owners would have some input through any potential sale. I just want the old cretin out. It amuses me when his supporters say that he is sentimentily attached to Villa and wants the best for the club, well I am sentimentily attached to my company but I didn't start it to be a good allround bloke I started it to make money nothing more nothing less and if anyone feels inclined to make me a good offer for it i'll walk. Ellis has made a fortune and good luck to him thats what business is all about but why people dress it up to be something it's not i'll never know. Villa is his business we are his customers ( i use we in a loose term) so lets cut all the sentimental crap out. Can you tell i've had a bad day? golf club and drinks in 30 minutes thank God.
