You change you mind like the wind changes direction . There is being constructive in your criticism, and there is just being idiotic!

The players let the club down, not the chairman!

Point me to a post where I said we are going up?
Most with a brain know that washing out the stench from the last few seasons is going to take a little time.
Getting on the players and the owners back before we've even played a home league game and with 3 weeks to go in the transfer window is as pointless as it is pathetic
Getting out of this division is going to take 3 things : Good management; financial support from the chairman and fervent support from the fans. Work out for yourself which one of those 3 you can most influence and remember the words of Gramsci :
"Pessimism is of the spirit, optimism is of the will"

Mendax you're perpetual optimism deserves a mention but Villa fans are tired and need some small crumb to feed on not this dross and loss. Come on Xia sort it out. Talk is cheap!

Mate grow up.
I have never said I think we are going up!
And again, I'm not going to say my points again, as to be honest a lack of intelligence shows that you can't retain the information.
One thing I will say is, tonight's game was shocking.
However, was a totally different team to the one that will play in the league. And this is only the second game.

Hi Villa7475,
To be honest I'm not often called an optimist. I am just trying, with a few others (i. e. Flackie) to bring a bit of balance to the debate
Fans have a right to be peed off after the Lerner reign and I share that frustration
My point is that this is a new start for us and it will take time; there is no getting away from that simple truth.

As fans we should recognise this and make some allowance for it. I'm getting sick and tired of the simplistic comments on here which seem to stem from the instant gratification culture we live in these days.

If you think I'm perpetually optimistic, I can live with that. But have a look at some of my posts in the Lambert/ Lerner years. Believe me mate, Jesus didn't always want me for a sunbeam.
