God, you’re lucky.
Not only do you support the finest club in the world, but you get to read my thoughts two days running!
Ok, forget that; I’m just in a daft mood at this stupid time of the day, where I’m about to go to bed.
So I saw this article where Dwight Yorke says “sack Garde and appoint me”.
I thought it was just a re-hash of what he’d said a few months ago, but it seems he’s quoted as mentioning nine games to go, so it might be relevant.
So bearing in mind that it might be a bit of creative journalism and I’d never consider Yorke as a Villa manager just yet, there is a certain point that struck home with me;
“You need more than that, somebody who understands the football club, who gets more out of the players and Remi Garde hasn’t been able to do that. Every interview he’s done, there’s no positiveness coming out of it – at least show some fighting spirit with nine games to go.”
And Yorke does have a point doesn’t he, when you look at it like that?
Garde definitely seems to have been playing things down, although I can’t say I blame him, given our position and the fact that he’s been stitched up.
And yes, Garde has been trying to play things up, to a certain extent, if you want to look at it the other way.
He’s still being quoted as saying we can beat the Swans and stay up on the OS.
But his comments haven’t convinced anyone, have they? And we all know that you have to read underneath to see what he actually means.
This is pretty much a throwaway post, as I don’t think Yorke coming in with an upbeat mood would have changed much.
But perhaps you might think otherwise?

wheres the match day preview. today might be the day that the team, puts in a performance and who guys missed the boat
Stuck at work Nath and am not going to have time, Sorry.
no worries, was a big MIGHT BE THE DAY lol
Guzan, hutton clark lescott cisohko,westwood gana gil ayew veretout gestede
Guzan Hutton Clark. That is all that needs to be read. That combination has not won a league match this season., I am not sure if they have achieved a draw either. On the other hand they have personal responsibilities for most of the goals that cost us points – the Bin-dippers rout excepted.
Same crap line up as the past few weeks!! WHY!!!!!!!!!!!! Its not working
i never picked the team i just posted it. iam not 100% sure, but i think remi believes this is the strongest team. okore was in not clark last week so one change.
i also think this is the strongest team hes got. its not miles away from what i would pick. thats only proves what a shit squad we have
I know Nath, I saw the line up too. I just cant believe Garde is playing it again. We have nothing to lose anymore so why are Westwood, Veretout, etc all starting. They have done nothing to justify their places.
its obvious, he doesn’t want to throw in the youth, they are playing midweek in their league. he has some them training with the 1st team. the game at swansea could get nasty and he is protecting um. i think this game is there for the taking. but like you the team playing hasnt performed all season.
iam gonna put my balls on the line and say 2 1 villa. swansea are poor, i think they will struggle. but we can’t gift um anything
looking at the line up, you have gestede up front but where is the supply. he needs crosses all season they haven’t put in any decent crosses.its not rocket science you have a threat up front in the air. swansea struggle with corners freekicks and high balls. GET IT IN THERE we will doubt it
0-0 at half time. Now there’s a surprise. Obviously Guzan is leaving his mistakes for the second half.
I find I just don’t care anymore. Roll on 15th May 17:00. All the misery will be over…
…until we start in the Championship that is.
Hope to God we see some meaningful action during the close season or we could be in deep trouble.
I can’t remember the last time there was so little interest in a match.
On planning for next season, does anyone seriously believe anything will change with Mr Dickface still owning the club????? If this leopard was ready to change his spots, then he’d have done it during this most important of seasons…
Cuzan again 1 down
Fuckin Guzan what a wanker
Hutton watching on, Lescott watching on, Guzan screwing up!
Familiar theme! That’s why we are going down
Here we go…1-0.
You can always rely on one of them to f__k up at the back.
What a heap of shit Guzan is. Sarkic is worth throwing in nothing to lose.
All started with Cissohoko should have gone off, free kick Cuzan came out and miss it completely.
Even the BBC text coverage has stopped at 17:48. The game must be that bad…
Hutton ball watching for what nearly 30goals this season
The clown in goals carp worse than enkleman
Green on Verhoute off.
Looks like I was right about Guzan then…
‘Oh, Brad Guzan. A nightmare. He comes to punch clear a free-kick and doesn’t get anything on it… the balls comes off the shoulder of Federico Fernandez and Swansea lead.’
BBC Sport
Bit of a no-brainer really though
He did the same in first half got away with it
Bill Pearson
You can’t blame sissko for that goal
And why was sissko booked in first half HUTTON gave ball away as per usual
Jvillan, he gave away a free kick again and if you see it like i did he should have walked, the mans a dreadful player unsafe.
lack of effort i do hope remi walks and tells the truth about this bag of fucking shit
Bill
Not in the same league of rubbish crap shite as guzan Hutton wastewood and flabby all their today again
No manager should pick any of them as for free kick off sissko I switched over to rugby missed it seen goal
So that’s that then. Another Guzan howler and another 3 points for the opposition. Its like the horror version of Groundhog Day.
