Would give Dyche a chance to manage us but doubt very much that’s going to happen. As I type, Sheffield Utd gone 2-0 up.

I see that mighty Burnley didn’t give up when they went 1-0 down to YNWA. Now 1-1 and final result could go either way.

Exactly why i want Dyche. He would give us a backbone

This all day. it would be the best appointment in a long time, if we could get him.

There is a lot of B.S about 'style' and 'Philosophy' in today's game. Let's just start with the basics? We have been in decline for a long time and a soft touch for a long time. We need to run before we can walk. We need a change of mentality, we need work-rate, we need to have more backbone. Once we have established those basics we can then look at things like style.

'The Villa engine', 'laying traps'...I don't want any more bullshit when it isn't producing results.

You don't even get the 'laying traps' bullshit from Smith any more, these days it's more "it's highly unlikely we'd get anything from the Liverpool or Man U games".

We got caught in our own traps and never got out. And he can take his traps with him the moment he’s fired.

He pissed me off when he constantly went on about drawing with United when we were winning the game and they were at that point very poor but he acted as if he was a massive achievement and kept bringing it up.

Another positive to being in the Championship next season is that, it’s beginning to look as if we will have another local derby with the Olbiyun. I think the Bees will finish above them on goal difference and, the Stripes won’t win in the play offs.

Just caught a headline on Birmingham Live, Roy Hodgson given huge boost as Matt Targett declares he’s now fit and available for selection. If I’d known that earlier I could have put good money on that we will lose all our remaining matches!! Why do they bother with ridiculous headlines like that?

Rudy, snap!! I posted on here a bit earlier, having seen the same article and, we’ve both nearly said the same thing word for word. Great minds and all that.

Despite all the resignation about our fate there is a chance that we win this game, and with Watford and West Ham playing each other next, we're not actually definitely relegated.

To support my belief in this outcome I've decided not to watch tomorrow.

Yep, but only if we beat Palace and Everton. Therein lies the problem.
