roger_moore Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 just caught up with this thread and others - in the last couple of days - wont add fuel to the lamb Venglos like McNeil/Turner and others came to Villa at the end of a mini era - the taylor years were wonderful but aging players etc didnt help. IMO Saunders, Taylor(1st time), BFR, Little, Gregory and MON, have been given a chance all the other managers were hired to fail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Risso Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Last chance to sort the squad out this summer O'Neill. The defence you put together is an absolute shambles. Sort it out, or move aside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LatestConfirmedIn Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 His defensive signings in Cuellar, Knight and Davies are dreadful. Lescott and Jagielka cost less than those three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smetrov Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Wonder when this will turn on MON - We haven't won a premier games in 8 - and only 5 at home all season. and weve been saying 'next summer he will bring the players in' for to long now .......why should this summer be any different ?

DeepDish Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Well, we just have to wait and see, as Lerner is a professional owner who will judge O'Neill in the summer of 2011. Our chairman is not a moron, and O'neill will therefore get the time he has been granted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one really is crucial because we have been making progression up until now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Wasted season, we will be lucky to finish 5th which would be a **** up of monumental proportions considering the position we were in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 we will be lucky to finish 5th At the start of the season most people would have said it would be great to finish 5th so I wonder if this is just 20/20 hindsight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I don't get why this has been a wasted season, hopefully it's one we will learn from. Mon will learn he needs to add more depth and quality, the players will also learn alot of things, that when in a bad run they have to make things happen and not just wait for things to happen, they would of learn not to be perhaps over-confident while in leads and will hopefully learn to close games out better.

It feels wasted because we were 8 points ahead of Arsenal, in the last 32 of the UEFA cup and in the 5th Round of the F.A. Cup and we threw it all away.

AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Okay, okay, okay Uefa Cup = we threw away Premier League = who could forsee our random form suddnely dropping? the Stoke game lost us so much confidence, we only finally recovered from that for me in that united game and we suffered another set back. BUT FOR **** SAKE. WE PLAYED OUR FULL STRENGTH TEAM IN THE FA CUP AND LOST TO EVERTON. Why do people always say we played a weakened side!? no we didn't, we just got beat!

heystally! Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 We've still had a good season. No one would have thought we could have put that much pressure on Arsenal for such a long period. Over half of the season we were looking like pushing them to the end. It's up to MON to spend big in the summer, on real quality players who'll improve our first eleven. Or we'll keep slipping further and further behind the teams above us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 It's our best season for many years. We broke the club record for away wins in a row. If this is a "wasted season" we have been wasting seasons for the last dozon years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gort Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 It's our best season for many years. We broke the club record for away wins in a row. If this is a "wasted season" we have been wasting seasons for the last dozon years. And we could be about to break our record for lowest home points in the Premier League, 23 points at home is a joke and if it had happened under any other manager a lot more of you would be unhappy.

AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Of course our home record is nothing to be proud off....im not happy with our home record. Are you not happy with our away record? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the points yes, but look at the performances in most of the games, Hull away, West Ham away, Portsmouth away etc. we were bloody rubbish and very lucky and i said so at the time. You could count our great performances this season on one hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
