I actually think I could do a better job than McGash.

I'm unsure but close to NO. If we get relegated, we'll be truly ****, and if we stay up, we're stuck with McGash....dim future...

And that's what's so disturbing. That a team can come into Villa Park, play like shit and still win easily.... Just incredible what's going on right now.

There is nothing quite as moving as a well respected minute's silence.

We can't even lose with pride. We don't take it to teams, even teams who are playing poorly like United was today. We sit back and do **** all. Defenders who just hoof it or pass it back to the GK....midfielders who stop moving when they don't have the ball...no conviction, no ideas, no determination. Garbage.

We are witnessing the downfall of Aston Villa

By January we'll have slipped down close to the relegation zone and Lerner will spring for another panic buy. Then we cross our fingers and hope it works again. Because if it doesn't, on current form....we're going down.

I agree with dreadful and dire. But to be desperate you need desire.

Ferguson is happy that Lerner took his letter seriously

This is just misery

If he replicates his form with us for Sunderland, they'll end up buried in massive wages paid to mostly Championship calibre players.

4-1 United. They'll be extra motivated after losing to Palace.

His winner against Everton was one of my best Villa memories. I miss him, but I always knew he'd eventually be off to United- even when we first signed him I remember Fergie talking him up. I can't see a reason to boo him. I'd save the boos for Downing and MON.

I really don't think he was particularly shrewd in the transfer market: Knight Maloney Shorey Davies Salifou Heskey Harewood Beye I'm sure there's a few more that deserve to be listed with these. Credit is due with Ash, Milner and Downing, but who else would be considered a shrewd signing? Luke Young, Dunne, Collins, Warnock and Cuellar were mediocre signings...Delph hasn't really panned out. He let Cahill walk, too. It's not like a huge club came in for him. We sold him to Bolton, FFS....

edit

Looks like he's gonna take over at Sunderland....hardly a move up. My question to you is, do you think MON will ever manage a bigger club than Aston Villa?

With my shortened first name I get "A Villa Smokes" I like that

It said "My input is too long" 8)

I'm a firm believer that they're all rigged. Play live tournaments only, and never cash games.

It's Ryan Giggs and Imogen Thomas' birthday today...

nuts

It's sick that these drugs that are supposed to help actually can make things worse...is this the best science can do? :shock: Several years ago I saw a shrink because i felt I was drinking too much. She asked if i ever felt depressed. I said "yeah, sometimes"...like I'm sure MOST of us do...she prescribed me Paxil. I took one of them and felt like I had ingested plutonium...I scrapped the stuff right then. The flip side to the problem is too many doctors dole out dangerous drugs too enthusiastically. I didn't need anti-depressants, but she was all too keen for me to get on the program...($$$)

I'm of the opinion that the number of people out there who are either being treated for a mental health disorder or in need of treatment, is staggering. I firmly believe that for many people, life is like walking a tightrope, but even their closest loved ones have no idea that they even have a problem because there is such a stigma associated with depression/anxiety, etc., and a fear that if found out, it could damage their relationships and career. I also think the stigma is compounded for men, and in particular, men in vocations that are dominated by men (sport, public safety, building trades, military, etc.) At the end of the day, the people that know us best are ourselves, and if Gary Speed did kill himself, then he was clearly grappling with problems for a long time, and they became insufferable. I wonder if he was in treatment. But I'm guessing he wasn't. Hopefully the high profile nature of this case brings the discussion forward for more people.

He's another shit MON signing
