Aston Villa 0 - 0 Newcastle United - 23/08/14 - Post-match reaction from page 36


Recommended Posts

I'm not surprised it was such a poor crowd.

 

We have spent a total 6.5m this summer, on a squad that has finished 15th, 15th and 16th the last few seasons.

 

Now the owner wants out, he thinks that means he can stop even pretending we are trying.

 

I know so many people who haven't renewed.

 

Last season we lost more home games than we had in any year since 1874, ie when we were founded. I believe we won four home league games. Still, we only won one more the season before.

 

Lerner has no ambition beyond survival, none at all and people have decided they've had enough.

 

I'm not bothering until we change owner. I had my first season ticket in 1975, didn't renew last season and this season I am not bothering at all until we show some ambition.

Incidentally, I genuinely think Lerner has had some sort of nervous breakdown.

 

He just went nuts when he appointed McLeish (who makes Allardyce look like Guardiola) and just lost interest overnight.

 

Since then it has been offensively bad. Three consecutive seasons which are amongst the worst I have ever seen, especially at home.

 

He just doesn't give a shit any more.

Which is worse, openly not giving a shit or pretending to give a shit and not really giving a shit?

I think openly not giving a shit is worst.

 

It's like "don't give a fuck, not going to even pretend I do".

 

Depressing, the sooner he sells to someone who is even remotely bothered, the better.

 

Till that happens it'll be season after season of arsing around the bottom half of the table like the fucking Albion or something.

Cabella cant beat a man. This is worrying.

 

Meh, he didn't have much trouble with his dribbling against City so I don't think it'll be too much of a problem. Just had to get used to the physical nature of playing here, we'll play more defences like Villa rather City so he'll now know what to expect, in terms of physicality.

Teams like Villa will always double up on him, in which case he will need other players to move around. Good luck with that Remy.

Boring game but I still have hope for this season (we're only 2 games in FFS) - We all know we are lacking a proven goalscorer but we had decent chances today, away from home and we bossed the game from start to finish. Bring in a decent striker and we'll be a top 10 side.
