When all seems doom and gloom I always think back to the many pundits who predicted we would do a double drop! we have choice but to remain positive for next season! Saw sabbath on Saturday and loved geezer butlers Villa bass guitar.

Jealousy comes with success. Now we are not doing good people want to kick us while we are down. Its because all tho we moan, if we never win a game again we will always be better than Wba, Wolves, Birmingham City. For me only team I HATE is Birmingham City reason is not jealousy its because they are vile football club from fans to owners to managers I don't like them.

1 of the reasons I don't like Bruce he said when he was blues manager I think Birmingham are now better than villa and basicially he done nothink but dis us off. I still remember him jumping on Villa park pitch celebrating blues beat us and giving it the big one after the game to mellberg, I still think no matter what league we are in we are Best in the land!



06 Feb 2017 21:53:19
The only person I see kicking us and moaning about us is you.



06 Feb 2017 22:03:46
What do you expect Bruce to do as their manager.



07 Feb 2017 00:21:32
Macleish was the blues manager he didn't slate us like Bruce. Oh and when we ent won in 7 games I can hardly come on here and say wow we are great can I use your brain!

Paul Mcgrath has said negative stuff aswel i wonder why? Let me make it simple for you villa daz you do good things you get praise you play like a load of donkeys people will criticise!

Villa legend Ian Taylor Stan collymore Paul Mcgrath all criticise we all love the club. But we can't keep saying we are great wait till we click we will rule the world! Your just coming on here making stuff up saying we gona be great next season what if we are not? I go by what I see not made up rubbish which we hope 4!

Talk about what you see! I hope your right and we done win the league next year but just comment on what you see! We moan because we care can't tell me Mcgrath is wrong!



07 Feb 2017 07:29:29
Lmao use "Use my brain" that has to go down on this forums history as the best quote ever. The fact of the matter is you come on here and slate Bruce and the team yet it is a new team and needs time too gel it was always going to be hard this season there are NO easy games in this league in fact in any league.

So what Bruce celebrated a goal against us when he was managing another team 100% of managers celebrate a goal when their team scores that is a fact. I will put things in perspective for you then perhaps you might realise just a big a job Bruce and the rest of the team including Xia has too do.

1: Get rid of deadwood a lot harder than you think if under contract and don't want too leave because they want a big pay day thankfully most have now gone

2: Wages:Need I say more?

3: Our great club was rotten too the core if you think that can be sorted overnight you are deluded

4: No matter what team you are if you buy new players they need time too gel we now have leaders all over the pitch which IMO we haven't had in ages

5: Newcastle yes they dropped last season along with us but their structure as a whole was sound so that is why they are going straight back up. I could go on and on but I guess if we lose again you will come on and slate everything and everyone . I've said it before and I will say it again the club needs everyone on board and if your not well I guess you can walk the plank VTMLDB.



07 Feb 2017 09:47:26
Hang on! You have moaned about Bruce before this run started, all you have done is find fault, criticise and try to get a rise, your posts are boring, as everything you write says the same, little thought, or prospective.
Then you dare to use the comment 'use your brain! ' Whilst in your next breath you call the wife beating, fawklands slagging Neanderthal collymore a villa legend.
Also just for the record, no such word as anythink, it's anything.
Use your brain.

There is a problem handling pressure at Aston Villa at the moment. When the players walk out to the pitch the pressure is on because everyone wants to beat us.

Forest acted like they'd won the European cup on Sunday and it's like it with every team Villa face. Even in the pubs watching the game " if it's an away game" our fans feel it.

At the pub I was in grown men were dancing and kissing when Forest scored the winner. Other Midlands football fans hate Aston Villa with a passion born from jealousy and it's truly laughable to see.

We need to pull together on and off the pitch with a volley of confidence that will reverberate around the country never mind he Midlands.

Steve Bruce you need a passionate Villa man in the dressing room to give the players an injection of, 'Villa til I die!'.



06 Feb 2017 16:23:55
I propose walkthewalk.



06 Feb 2017 16:57:18
Devlin, Bruce is supposed to have two passionate players in Gabby and Grealish, its not working. You use the word jealousy, surely you mean envious (Envy is a reaction to lacking something) I hate the word jealousy its poisonous mate.

Surely Newcastle also have the same pressure, everybody wants to beat them as well, other midlands side hate us off coarse they do that’s called rivalry, you hate Birmingham don’t you.

Let's be honest a lot of football fans dislike us because we are always moaning, some villans think we have some sort of divine right to be at the top.
Did we not have pressure in 80/ 81, yes we did it comes with success, but we handled it and handled it well.
If players think they are under pressure, don’t sign for Villa.



06 Feb 2017 16:59:08
Lol thanx mate, I love the Villa and sometimes I am too passionate but its because I care. We are losing a lot lately and I believe we should be doing much better. The thing that's gets to me is we have no style of play under Bruce nobody knows how we want to play not even bruce. Next few games are easy so let's hope we can get some points on the board. UTV.



06 Feb 2017 18:52:48
Walkthewalk, i'm probably wrong but i think bruce didn't have a favourite system because we didn't have the players for the system he wanted to play, now i think he has the players we may be pleasantly surprised, he'll need a few games for the players to click but i think good things may be round the corner, keep the faith guvnor, you'll be naming your next kid after him! lol!



06 Feb 2017 20:28:43
Haha I hope your right mate we all just want our team to win. I think we have 1 hell of a team a good chairman so now its up2 the manager to make it win. I prob take it far to serious but it ruins my week when we lose! I really like the Huddersfield manager style his a man with a plan hopfully Bruce gives us somethink we can be proud of but i think his to old fashioned hope Iam wrong!



06 Feb 2017 20:42:10
Think the team we saw Saturday should stick, maybe swapping the Icelandic for Taylor or Amavi.



06 Feb 2017 20:52:08
Way off the mark Villa dave
jelousy is a poisonous word indeed and so we're the reactions I saw to Villa going behind " bear in mind I see it all the time" so I don't quite get your little point there! Other midland fans hate Aston Villa because we are the biggest most historic football cl.



06 Feb 2017 20:55:40
Oops - we are the biggest most historich football club in the west midlands! Next your gong to tell me I'm wrong!? Lol
I certainly do not hate Birmingham by the way and would never jump for joy when they lose. Next Dave?



06 Feb 2017 12:51:02
Super Jack, what do you do with him? i'm sorry to say he is a creation of modern day football. When you have kids signed up by clubs 5-6 y old, they don't know anything else but that football bubble.

During this time they are told how brilliant they are, cosseted by coaches and parents . Years ago a friend of mine, had break and was signed by Blackburn.

Even then going back to the 70s, he said these apprentices should be sent out to work for 6months, just for them to appreciate what they have got . You can see with Jack, it is immature attitude.

Over the years you see wasted talent, thrown away because of the same attitude . We have seen ex players reackon they have tried to advise him, if he won't listen then it's a shame. If I was Kevin his dad I'd be kicking his arse and sitting him down for a long chat . I hope he can sort himself out. Onwards & Upwards Villaforever.



06 Feb 2017 14:27:15
Him being sent off on the weekend is an in the pitch incident, he hasn't been caught out on the booze, on holiday, in a hotel, he was sent off. One card for kicking the ball away in the first half (all players do it early on, never usually get carded because its early in the game but it is a bookable offence) watching it back he only got carded because of how far the ball travelled, had there player who it rolled past stopped it there'd be no issue, he didn't want them taking a quick free kick or having the extra yard.

Second card he's stopping someone making a break whilst all our players are up and out of position (same way we conceded second goal against Preston) . Don't understand how you can question his attitude, maybe his intelligence, maybe his memory to remember his on a yellow already, maybe call him thick, but his attitude?

Don't believe everything the papers hold on to. If he don't take that lad out and they score we are all on here saying "why didn't grealish clean him out", he wasn't great Saturday, got the assist but then didn't affect the game enough however had we took our chances no one would of said a word about grealish, red card or not.

1 match ban and then he will be straight back involved against Barnsley in some capacity, I don't rate him as high as some on here do but I call it as I see it and try not to over react, the boy has talent and doesn't seem to have attitude problems anymore, just consistency problems.



06 Feb 2017 14:37:43
Very good point davedean, I am not a Grealish fan to be fair, and that is mainly because of his attitude and demeanour, and his pedestrian “same as” “same as” style, give me a cattle prod.

I don’t know who it was, or where I heard it but a few weeks ago after his goal against Wigan, I heard it mentioned that he had been compared to Ryan Giiggs, That was the best joke I had heard since Tommy Cooper first said "Just Like That".

The route I would take with him now is stand up and be counted, let him know that he has until the end of the season to change his attitude and to start performing or be sold, Red triangle comfort zone ends here.
Give me Sid Cowans any day.



06 Feb 2017 17:07:25
I've become totally exasperated with the lad to be honest. At some point "potential" has to convert to impact. I don't really see it from him
If we are going to have a lightweight luxury player in the team I think I'd rather it was Carles Gil.



06 Feb 2017 20:49:12
It was me that said he could be our Ryan Giggs, meant it as a talented player that many teams would covet, but would stay with 1 club all his career. If anything, the player he most resembles to me in his style is Chris Waddle, on his day a damn fine player, but also a waste of space on his bad days

UTV.



06 Feb 2017 23:21:14
He is so frustrating, has class moments but a lot of the time he his poor

For me he is not direct enough and slows things down to much, I think the word luxury player comes to mind, would be great if we were smashing teams 3/ 4 nil but were not, when games are tight and physical he is no use.



07 Feb 2017 06:59:16
Spot on

06 Feb 2017 10:01:25
Considering the situation we are in now, we'd have to win every remaining match to make the play offs, if I was manager, I'd take the team off the leash and attack. got people moaning that we're boring, that'd sort that problem, of course you'd be open to counters, but with the quality in our team after January, let the opposition worry about not conceding, not us worrying.

We're going to stay mid table if we grind out results. I'd rather watch Joshua knock Klitchko in the 1st round than watch 10 rounds of chess and maybe a final round of 1 last flurry to change the outcome. Win the game then compete.

UTV.



06 Feb 2017 14:29:34
I agree, Bruce has been saying in his pressers that we won't give up until it's mathematically impossible but he has to say that. Behind close doors he should be taking all the pressure off, tell the lads to go out there and show off, no pressure, just do what we all know your capable off, and we will finish where we do. If he was to do that I bet we'd finish higher than that if we clinged onto the idea we have to make play offs.



06 Feb 2017 14:37:01
I agree in theory Allyp, I posted last week that I felt we should pick a side and stick with it.

Let the players get used to playing as a team, two up front and go for it.
We have two of the divisions best strikers, have a big word with Kodjia that it`s not all about him and to pass to his mate (Hogan) occasionally, he did it once at Forrest and Hogan very nearly tucked it in, my message to Kodjia is, you are very talented, stay on your feet, stop moaning, become a team player Not Ayew 2, and you would become very popular at VP.

Scott Hogan I think is perfect for us, everything we have craved for, skilful, quick, direct, a team player, and knows how to score goals, a modest man.
For me Hogan and Kodjia together have the potential to rip this division to shreds, with a season playing together I have no doubts that they would handle the premiership.



06 Feb 2017 16:06:12
In all honesty on paper we have one of the best squads in the league but for some reason still remain so fragile.



06 Feb 2017 20:58:09
I'd go with a solid back 4, Taylor not Amavi, Bree not Hutton, Jedinak holding, the two up front, then 3 midfield slots r up for grabs, got to be Lansbury/ Hourihane and 1 other, I'd go Adomah because he's direct, Green/ Thor/ Grealish depending on injuries. No need to rotate, got no cup games have we? Go for it with a settled line up
