It's woeful mate. Aston Villa used to be a club that was feared. Now we're a joke. 3 points from five at home and 0 goals scored in three of them. Yes, Everton, Spurs, Liverpool and City are good sides, but it's not good enough. We have Cardiff and Sunderland at home next - if we don't win both of those I'm going to stop watching us.

We used to spend some money on good players, now we shop in pound-land for players because our owner doesn't have the money to run an established football club. And unlike sides like Swansea and Everton, we don't buy well either.

Overtly loyal Villa fans will accuse me of moaning and I admit I do moan because I support Villa and want to see them do well and it's sickening how much we've gone backwards in three or four years. Another relegation battle seems on the cards. Lambert is a stubborn g.it who turns down chances to get established players like Barry and Kiyotake (a playmaker) and buys rubbish like Helenius and Westwood. Yes, he got it right with Benteke but that's one transfer. He signed a good centre back in Okore but just our luck he's injured for the season.

Just frickin hate supporting this club at the moment.

Benteke alone will keep us up this season but he's gone next summer. We're never gonna compete with the peanuts Lerner is handing out so Lambert will shop at Poundland for 'hungry players'. That's all good because you want players that will give there all but by God you need a bit of magic and inventiveness to make things happen on a pitch. The fact Lambert never got a creative attacking player in the summer especially after last season is insanity.

We're a team set up for counter attacking away football. Away that's understandable, at Home it's unacceptable. Even with a 5 man midfield at home we'd still struggle to score because or midfield is just full of cloggers and headless chicken. Not one of them can pass with vision or even score a sodding goal.

Utterly poor is an understatement. We we're so hard to break down under O'Neill but the lack of a genuine top draw striker and a top playmaker then stopped us reaching the next level.

Now we've a top draw striker finally but a shaky defence and an unbalanced midfield. Still a class playmaker eludes us after all these years. Why don't Villa managers like playmakers? Why must a player that can pick out a killer pass never bought?

Absolutely sick of this season already.

Load of rubbish. We played pretty well today, against a very good, experienced Everton side. Problem was we didn't put the ball in the net when we had the chances. But we were creating the chances. Against Newcastle we weren't. And today we were more than just a counter-attacking side.

We've a fair way to go, and have new players still finding their feet. But I think we've got a decent season ahead of us.

Everton signed Barry and Lukaku on Loan good buys.

We would probably have been better doing same

instead you loaned simon dawkins last season
