I genuinely take no pleasure in being spot on with my prediction that the mumbling one would take you down, you've got to get rid of him now before a disaster becomes a nightmare!
He simply has no plan other than shore up the back and try and nick one on the break, he got away with it at The Villa because he had a fully firing benteke, here he didn't have him to bail him out.
I wish you all the best for the future in the same way as you wished me after 'that season' and its increasingly like I will be visiting the bearpit again next season, just not in the league I was hoping for
All the best

Cheers! Nice comments
Hope you get up, the PL needs more “proper” teams like yourselves (with all apologies to Bournemouth et al)

Think you will win the play-offs so could be a while before we play Villa in a competive fixture again.

He was an appointment by an increasingly desperate and clueless board.
If he's here next season we are in massive trouble.

Ha ha no genuinely feel for you lot, that man has been stealing a living for way too long You may be genuine but forgive me if I'm a bit sceptical. There's a massive amount of schadenfreude flying around at the moment where we are concerned which has been 10 years in the making. Both in the media and elsewhere. I've had mates, some proper mates, who support clubs up and down the country in various divisions, who we've never really had any rivalry with, texting me taking the piss. So forgive me for thinking your commiserations might be tinged with a sly smile. |

I think Villa need Fulham to get second spot because as it stands they would probably be the team to win the play offs. Theres also the added bonus of Fulham probably relegating the Blues as well.

I'm getting battered by supporters of clubs from outside the Prem! Derby fans having a 'relegation party' ffs. Seems a bit small-time to me. |

Nothing sly here mate I live in a stokie town and your results are first I look for after our games, the only other one I look for is too see if SHA have lost, I'll put your cynical paranoia down to relegation ptsd |

They've turned all 'Vale' and seem more interested in what we're doing. They're probably from Uttoxeter. |

Nothing sly here mate I live in a stokie town and your results are first I look for after our games, the only other one I look for is too see if SHA have lost, I'll put your cynical paranoia down to relegation ptsd I'm not having a go mate. You always seem like a decent sort. But it is an absolutely natural reaction in the tribal arena that is football particularly in the Midlands (or any local area for that matter) to have a little titter at the misfortunes of a local rival. It doesn't make you a bad person. I admit I had a snigger when Villa went down because I know loads of Villa fans who'd lorded it over us before that. It may just be me, but I suspect not. And I accept the piss takes as the natural course of things albeit it's a bit raw at the moment just as it's probably the wrong moment for you to come on expressing condolences and pointing out how you told us so. So dunner pretend that there wasn't a little flicker in the old gigglebox when Van Aarnholt's goal went in and the twat Lambert took us down even if it was for that reason alone. |

Especially as its us and we've 'had it coming' so to speak for 10 years. |

If you're a football fan and know what proper defeat and heartache means, you may say to a mate, who's team have just been relegated or lost in a final, 'sorry about that mate' or 'i know how you feel' but there's always lurking in the back of your mind that little tribal demon sniggering at the failure of another football team and as a consequence their supporters. |

Hope you do go up Villa. Much rather have you in the Premier League than the plastic euphoria that surrounds the likes of Bournemouth and Brighton.

Villa are a proper big club and I’d much rather they were in the top tier than the southern trendies who the media suck up to
Bournemouth
Watford
Palace
Brighton (though I like Hughton)
Fulham (potentialy)

It all makes our Monday's better when your team got a good victory and your friends/colleagues teams lost. it's like when we have played teams that could have gone down on the last day...there's always that bit extra if you win and they get relegated. It is just people taking the piss. |

It still perplexes me how he got the job. It really was sheer desperation from the board.
People suggesting he's a "Championship manager" seem to be overlooking the fact that no Championship clubs wanted him. In fact, 2 turned him down!
