Lush Vlad Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 That interrupt thing is ducking hilarious. Whats this about? Wireside using the word interrupt when he meant interpret on a few occassions. A few posters not grasping he clearly meant that, so some petty arguments ensued about the misuse of the word. Wireside eventually ended up saying it was because of auto correct on his phone, which was clearly bollocks. Yeah, it's funnier if you read the thread, doesn't really work this way Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raconteur Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 nah, 94th minute: Charlie whips it in to bent, who is blatantly in an offside position, punch's it off the bar, ball bounces down off the line and spins back out an cleared, but being blinded by fletchers hairline the linesman gives it as a over the line. #Partiezhiff Nah, don't want to hear about how unlucky they are (juxtaposed by how lucky we are), how things will change soon, blah blah blah. Rather see Bent pick it up from his own penalty spot, take off like George Weah v Verona and burn past seven or eight of them before smashing it home.

Beren Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 O'Shea is probably their best player tbf. Catts for me, like. Think Mignolet is their best player by quite a distance. One of the top GKs in the league, imo. Fletcher is their best player by a mile. Mignolet is a TV keeper, makes some good stops and has good reactions but IMO is poor on crosses and positioning. Still a canny player mind. Sessegnon IMO. Horrific shooting accuracy, mind you. Terrible form probably not helped by Ziff, but on natural ability he's the best I've ever seen play for them. Doubt he'll realise even half of it under MO'N's stewardship though. Eventually be ran out of town with pitchforks for going to Fulham or something to further his career in a free-flowing side.

cp40 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 there is a Sundeland Syndrome, but they wont admit it. They try too hard to better us, but the town simply cant sustain a football club as big as ours, they get excited at the prospect of being bigger than us at the slightest hope, and then fall flat on thier arses. Only to get up and do the same thing again with more enthusiasm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Indeed, if they stopped worrying about trying to better us they could just enjoy being what they are, a lower half team from a small provincial town. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 that sunderland syndrome is quite interesting. "when a good player/manager joins us we we sap all the quality out of them leaving them a shell of their former selves..." who are these good players and managers ? not so long ago there was a thread on there about their favourite all time mackem players and what a laughably mediocre list it was.

They are playing really badly and just scraping results. They completely rely of Fletcher, one player! Imagine if he got a long term injury. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Reading coverage of MON at Sunderland on a couple of Villa forums today, these are some stand-out comments. I wouldn't want you to think I'm a lone voice in the wilderness, far from it. Great post about 6th place. It really boils my piss when the media, and even some of our own fans, make out it was some fantastic achievement for the club. My first game was 1975, and since then only 1 manager who has had more than 1 season at the club has failed to finish in the top 6 at least once. Step forward Mr Turner. So it's hardly the great achievement it's made out to be when Saunders, Barton, SGT1, BFR, Little, Gregory and even Mr Fickle managed it. A few of those actually managed to win something as well. So well done Pube Head, you are the 6th most successful Villa manager in my time despite having the best working conditions of any of them. That's your legacy for me, you're not actually that good a manager. referring to the video of those journalists finally cottoning on to him: Blimey I only just saw the video and can only say those guys have O'Neill totally sussed, which surprised me as they are journalists. Practically word for word the criticisms aimed at him by myself and many other non-believers on here for many months even before he left us. I understand why some defended him, especially those that attended away games. Away from home, you don't care how you get the result. You spend a lot of money getting there, expensive ticket prices and a few drinks before, not to mention the poor weather conditions you may face. It's generally blind faith but under MON we generally got a result away from home. At home was a different story. Despite getting in some great attendances over his rein, the football seemed to get worse not better. It's easy to say teams "park the bus" but that doesn't defend the cluelessness of his tactics. I say tactics in the phural but in reality it was a tactic, the same tactic he's now using at Sunderland - get the ball out to the wingers. Yes, he managed to beat the Rags time and time again but I'm Villa not a Nose and there's more to my season that playing them. It aint going to end well for him at Sunderland. Dont think he has the heart for it anymore, Villa was his chance to make it big and I think he knows he blew it. Not all bad and far from it. Very organised at set pieces, we could compete with the biggest clubs particularly away from home, Ashley Young, moving Milner to centre midfield, Gabby's development, he inherited a disaffected club as he put it and to be fair he made us competitive. But as we all know it came at a cost. His laziness as a manager is his biggest fault and the joke of a yes minister entourage he surrounded himself with. Even Clough had a good number 2 for scouting players. We badly missed a David Dein type figure as Chief Executive during his reign but MON would never be one to admit his failings. I was an enthusiastic backer of MON until the signing of Emile Heskey. We had Gareth Barry playing the football of his career in a 5 man midfield prior to that. The season after in the same position, he played the same side twice in the space of a week. I think Stoke was one with Cuellar at right back. It was over then for MON really. Regarding the defence a perfect example of his buying policy was Bouma being injured and us promptly buying Nicky Shorey from new relegated Reading..who lasted a handful of games before being dropped.As I recall he went and asked Sidwell if he was any good ..that was the grand total of his ''scouting '' network.Same with Beye we needed a RB and that was the best he could fine ..seriously.I also recall us being linked to Falcao now at Atheltico Madrid and him saying something like we will be looking closer to home ..we brought Heskey... MON in microcosm. We are playing like a drain at home to some no marks and are a goal down. We are crying out for a change and, finally, some subs start to warm up to ironic cheers. Really going through his paces is Delfouneso and obviously being prepared to come on. "We want Delfouneso on" chant the crowd. He is immediately sent back to the bench in favour of Sidwell. To study law to any degree requires an academic, forensic brain. A sharpness to deal with changing information. And ultimately making conclusions. Conclusions might change as more information becomes available, and a different response might be required. Which makes his limited, intermediate approach to the game even more hard to fathom. He was surely smart enough to know that the game moves on, yet he persisted with two stoppers at the back, the nippy winger and the big man up top. He'll still be doing that in 10 years, should he remain in the game that long. If he managed to the age of 200, he'd probably see little reason to modify his approach much. "Fuck it, that'll do," is increasingly how it comes across. Lazy is right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
