They'll probably just say it's Gerrard's side and due to his work.

This was really nice from Ings.

This is exactly the difference. Gerrard too fucking stubborn to see this. Also too stubborn to go 4231 when the world and his wife could see it was the obvious set up.

This is very very funny.

worth pointing out, Villa under Gerrard and Beale were better than without Beale but at the same time, far from great.

Carragher coming out punching for his mate in the Torygraph today.

It wasn't. Bear in mind, this is the cunt that pretty much all season has been a 'walk straight down the tunnel, fuck the away fans' wanker.

Benitez isn't getting the job, because Purslow is probably the person he hates most in football. I can't think of anyone in the game less likely to get the job. Agbonlahor makes himself out as Mr Aston Villa in his new media career but was a disgraceful fucking leech for the last five years of his career with us, I hate that idiot. He's a fucking moron. The suggestion that 'get out of our club' (and believe me, the fans only turned on him vocally two games ago, it's not exactly a torrent of abuse) is crossing a line is beyond a joke.

I don't remember that at all. I don't even remember him coming close to our job tbh.

Apparently he was sacked before getting on the team bus. Sawiris getting so angry and storming out at half time last night, followed shortly after by Purslow, that's not a good sign!

Yeah you may be right, but as you say, it's fucking dreadful. I can't believe these media chumps not understanding how he got sacked. And then that's only based on the points - there's also the toxic fucking character, the refusal to ever acknowledge the away fans, the projection of himself as the most important thing, the appointment of McGinn (the least captain material you'll find) captain, the blatant throwing of players under the bus every week, the dreadful lack of anything that looked like coaching or tactics, the needless ruck he picked with Mings, the bizarre ostracisation of Sanson and Guilbert (been training with the kids). And there's loads more of that sort of thing.

Although getting it because it's Gerrard is one thing, getting it because it was Steve Fucking Bruce was, as we both know, another fucking level.

Blimey. Almost all his (enormous) backroom staff binned as well. This clearly wasn't something that they decided to do last night.

McNulty is a simpering nothing of a 'reporter', but that's a great example of the football / media establishment and the contempt they show for fans. 36 points from 38 games, top scorer this season on 1 goal, scored 7 goals in 11 games, 17th in the table, getting worse. But, no, all those thousands of people who travel all around the country watching us, all those people who spend thousands on season tickets, all those people who have barely missed a match in decades, all those people for whom the club is a part of their life - they're all insane to except anything better than that, because Stevie G.

Hard to imagine anyone less likely to get it with the previous history between him and Purslow.

We finished 2nd in the first PL season. Between 96 and 01 we finished 4th, 5th, 7th, 6th, 6th O'Neill had us 6th, 6th, 6th Even O'Leary had us 6th. It's not about finishing in the top 7, it's about not being 17th. We haven't finished in the top half since 2011. We weren't even in the top flight for 3 of the years. This is EXACTLY the sort of discourse you guys will have heard from outsiders for a decade too.

Little room for improvement? Smith had us 16th when sacked, and we've got two mega rich owners who have pumped shit loads of money in. it would have taken almost nothing to improve us, but a year later, we are actually in 17th. The bloke is an absolute fucking chancer, any decent manager with a functioning shred of humanity and a functioning brain cell would have improved us. He's not mooking about with the Forest squad. He's got Philipe fucking Coutinho in his squad. He had every chance, and he totally totally fucked it up, mostly with his outdated 'tough man manager' routine.

Anyone who pays any attention to anything whatsoever that Martin Samuel shits out of his stupid fucking mouth deserves everything they get.

His media mates diving in to defend him is going to be awful. 36 points from 38 games. Top scorer this season is on 1 goal. joined with us in 16th, currently in 17th.

it got worse when Beale left but we weren’t exactly playing total football when he was here.

I’d do anything to bring the big man DS back but as you said, he went toes up a few years ago. Malfunctioning air fryer. Dreadful explosion *shakes fist at Kenwood*

REJOICE

It won't make any difference, he's fucking shit anyway.

No shit ;-)
