What the fuck is going on

 

[villa loyal]

No win in 7 and 7 points above the drop zone with fans starting to turn on Bruce. We are doing our best to be worse than the blues too. For the life of me I just don't know what's going on and if we don't start improving fast then next season will be a struggle to challenge for the play offs. Still the whole club seems on a fucking downer. Just hope our optimistic owner doesn't get bored anytime soon .

 

[Kilburn Ram]

Don't worry.

Just a couple of weeks until you play us.

Guaranteed 3 points for you then.

The Brucey boost is now gone, back to where you were before he arrived.
He's not a bad manager. Villa won't do a Leeds or Sheffield teams decent.
He'll stop that. And he WILL get Villa up eventually.
Just do what you screamed at us because we do regardless.
Support your team instead of empty seats for home games
(that said like so many clubs, it's quieter than it should be too often at SJP, while its much different away)

don't think you can fault our home support too much because our season has been woeful tbf. Obviously your home support is on a different level. As for Bruce it's starting to go downhill a bit but I still believe he has a great chance of getting us up next season with the squad and financial power we have. My worry is if we continue the rest of the season like we are then that may go on into next season. Another season like this one and I think he will get sacked.

You're a bit of a dickhead aren't you? And your fans were Fucking shite at your place on Boxing Day.

He's still bitter about 2009(?) when they went down at Villa Park and we laughed our arses at them. Not to mention that in one of the worst seasons in the club's history, we still managed to put a big nail in their coffin and drag them along with us into this division.

I watched that match in one of the bars on Broad Street. A load of Geordies traveled down just to watch it on a big screen in Birmingham, the first and only time I wanted Villa to win.

they seem to think we was the only ones pissing ourselves. Anyway I've got nothing against Newcastle and there is always good and bad amongst any fanbase.

I think El Guapo maybe warming to the villa, slowly but surely.

The first step in conquering any sort of demon is admittance. I'm always here for you when the time is right to come out. Just remember it's small steps.

Is that Ian Taylor clutching on that claret and blue rag? Word around the campfire here is that he has got a Blues tattoo on his ankle. Surely not.

yes it is. A player with pride and passion, something we have not had for a few years. id say that is bullshit but one of villa's top lads from a few years ago had a blues tattoo before he changed sides to villa.

A few years back I used to go the villa with an old mate of mine and he worked with this bloke who lived in Aston and was a villa fan. He was a big black geezer who actually used to be in the Zulus and used to fight and do crime and all that shit. He left the Zulus and started following the villa for some reason. Got fed up with all the violence and that kind of stuff.

Think a few of the black lads who were never into football would firm up with the Zulus against clubs who were known to be racist - Leeds, Stoke, etc.

It's a bit weird how someone can just switch allegiances like that though. I adopted Bordeaux as my second club through an old friend. And still look out for 'em now 15 years later.

yeah this bloke I'm on about had no love for the blues, it was just about organised crime and a bit of a tear up for him. We knocked Bordeaux out of the uefa cup in the late 90s.

89th worst team in England out of the 92 league clubs since the start of the year. Different year same old shit.

 

[villa loyal]

Read in the paper yesterday that ayew said the team knew they was going down last season as early as January. I mean for crying out loud how can you have that mentality in a team? I think most of the fans knew we was in serious danger but it goes to show what a team full of lazy bastards we had. Ayew for all his talent was like a baby at times. By the sound of it he's glad to be out of the club.

We all knew we were down by January, let's be real...

However, for the players in the team to already think that and give up halfway through the season is unacceptable regardless of the circumstances.

In terms of him being glad to be out, personally I am and was glad to see him gone. As you said, he's a big baby on the pitch and quite often a waste of space. A talented waste of space? Definitely, but it's no good if you've not got the mentality.

it's alright for the fans to think that but an utter disgrace for the players as they are the ones it falls on. I was hoping we could get a bit more out of him in this league but obviously he wanted out. I know Derby got less points but that villa team was easily the worst in premier league history purely down to the fact that there was no effort or fuck all.

I've been saying it since last season that we were the worst team to have ever graced the league. Derby were in a MUCH stronger Premier League. The team we had that season would have won the league last year, or been close at least imo for example.

In terms of a lot of the fickle morons who support the club [note: not including villa loyal in this], yes.

Think Xia will stick with him unless it does look like we are actually going down. He's realised how big a job rebuilding this club is going to be I think.

One of the biggest problems in football is this idea that a few bad results should mean the manager losing his job.

Yes Bruce has spent money, but all of these players are not going to gel straight away. Aston Villa will be a Championship club next season and come this time, with Bruce at the helm, Aston Villa will be competing for promotion back to the promised land.

Removing Bruce at this time of the season could have the complete opposite impact that supporters are looking for and send you into League 1. Remember, the grass is not always greener. In fact it very rarely is

Agreed. The sacking of our last 5 managers has got us precisely nowhere.

he won't get sacked anytime soon imo but if we lose today a lot of the crowd will turn tonight.

would you have kept any of those sacked managers?
