Tell me this is not true....

Hi all,
Haven't posted in ages. I am going to hold my hand up and admit, for the first time in about 12 years, I have lost interest in Villa. It is not because we are pathetic, I remember the Taylor and Gregory days, and even then I was still into it. No, this is something different. McLeish has systematically ruined our club. He has turned us into the worst Villa team I have seen in my 20 odd years of supporting this once great club.

I have moved to Australia, and in seasons past I'd get up at 2am to watch our games, but no more. He has ruined that sense of excitement and hope, that all fans have the right to feel. Now I don't bother to get up, because I know that the impending tiredness the following day will have been for nowt. I hate that. I WANT to feel excited about Villa again, but I feel that with this bloke at the helm, that will never happen. I also question (as I did when McLeish was hired) Lerner and the Villa board for hiring him. THEY DID NOT LISTEN TO US FANS. We have every right to say to them, WE TOLD YOU SO.

As a Villa fan of over 20 years, I am absolutely gutted at the club we have become. I feel for the fans still over in the UK that have to pay to watch this tripe, particularly the season ticket holders and the kids. I was also disgusted to see our team sheet today. I noticed that we had no fewer than SIX defenders in the starting lineup.

This was a game we had to go out and win. We had to take a risk, because the three points would have effectively kept us safe. WBA are extremely beatable. Yet McLeish plays ONE recognised winger in Charles and SIX defenders. He was playing for the draw in the hope Bolton and Wigan would also draw and lose. That is the sort of mentality we have from this man. NEGATIVE.

I wish I was there to show my anger at this season-long display of incompetence. I just hope that any demonstration is done AFTER we are safe (if indeed that happens).
