Dean Smith is only still able to be Head Coach of our great club because the owners have made a terrible, terrible mistake in not seeing the awful decline and addressing it.

The buck stops with them.

Shameful stuff from our management and players. I'm not talking about this game, Manure have money popped into their team, they have good players. Our shame is the obvious lack of application,both from the team, and the managment since the restart. They are woeful.

I'll caveat my comments with an apology for repeating myself.

I thought we'd lose, but I expected a defeat like Sunday. Competitive.

I felt we got a performance at the start. Energy, pressing, having a go, creating openings, putting good balls in.

Then we're cheated. No ifs or buts. Cheated by a fat c*** like Moss. And I went fucking spare. Absolutely mental. My wife gave up telling me to stop swearing, I called my old man up and went fucking barmy down the phone. Livid does not cut it.

But we weren't. We weren't angry, we were meek. Soft. Accepting our fate. And that is inexcusable and unforgivable. If that shirt means anything or your professional pride counts for a jot, you do not fucking react like we did.

Mings- the defending was appalling. Grealish, the samecriminal schoolboy cowardice. Do not turn your back you twat, you get fucking hit. But you don't. You bottle it and let that odious wanker Pogba pick his spot.

I am infuriated with how passive we were, how stand offish how utterly fucking craven we were.

What happens on Sunday if it doesn't go our way? Fucking hell Villa.

Weak and I cannot abide that. I'll accept not being good enough (to a point), but I cannot accept surrendering. Ever.

Hard to disagree with any of that.

Agree with the players score in OP, but fuck giving Smith a 1, unless it was for the Alex Ferguson ‘gum chewing’ impression?

And so another 90 minutes of ineptitude and   lack of passion is over.

Going down without a fight, which is the worst crime of all imo.


This will be my third Villa relegation and on each occasion we have gone down without a fight. And to think how many times I have taken the piss out of Small Heath for being relegated.

Absolute crap, its still not over, but Crystal Palace will be it for Smith.

We need AEG and Trez to be fit for that one.

Surprise surprise, “the penalty was the turning point”.
How the fuck do you explain the lack of goal threat, the lack of fight, the lack of bottle?!!
Get out of our fucking club, you chancer.

It was total crap that cost us £140 million in the transfer market.  Smith has had money shovelled at him and he puts together garbage like that.  He makes Tim Sherwood look a half decent manager.  That is how bad he is.

Yet as sure as night follows day there will be those wanting Smith to stay to get us back up again.

And that is their opinion Brian. They may be wrong, but it's still their opinion.

Was the half time team talk to tell them to be even more passive than they were in the first half.  'Fucking hell lads, please don't try as hard as you did for that first 20 minutes, they will be wanting it every week!'   The penalty was a farce.  Our balls into the box, bar a couple, we poor, no closing down, not a single tough tackle, so many players walking pace, McGinn looks chunky and unfit.  I cannot believe that Dean Smith is still here.  United didn't have to play well to win tonight. We were meek and disinterested.

We won't win another game in this division. I don't need to look this up but we have won just 10 games in the last 72 games in this league, THAT statistic alone trumps anything you will read anywhere else.

Just finished pruning my bush. Did we lose?

Seriously, I thought we did ok until the penalty that never was and then it became laughable.
We are going down and we deserve to.
Can anyone really see Grealish in the Man U team?
I hope the owners stay and the rest of them can fuck right off!!!

I have made the point many times, we just accept what we are dealt with. It was a disgraceful decision, we should have been angry, having a go at the ref, their player for diving, nothing not a squeak. This is a feature of this Aston Villa, they do not care enough to change what is happening, Smith is passive his team is passive.
That’s why we are going to be relegated.
