The forum is full of negativity...not a happy clapper...but I'm a great believer in positive energy getting positive results, rather than negativity all the time. ;-) This optimism and positive energy you speak of only seems to come from you when you like, and support the manager. If you don't like him, then you're as negative as anyone, in fact I'd say more so than most. So much so that you're liable to sink into the 'Depths of Despair' iirc.

... Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Optimism? "We will be playing European football within four years". "We are moving in the right direction". "We have a plan, and will stick to it". () "The Bristol arena will be built in the next two years". "The metrobus won't be a failure". "BigTone will stop being sarcastic". I think optimism is over-rated, personally - but I would say that, wouldn't I? tfj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiale Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Hope Kodj's is not on form, we know he can create his own chances, probably why he is still scoring despite being in an expensive but poor team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone is allowed to change their habits and learn from experience. So many different factors as well. It's not about liking a person...it's about recognising that they are doing their best for the good of the club.

My how we laughed I think they will try on Cotts back because of his Brum connection and I think he is the sort of player that will get fired up by that..... Up the Villa....Yeah, Right Up!!!!

Who will be gone in a few months. He wasn't Kodjia's replacement, we started off great with both in the team.

A lot of games we've lacked an attacking edge or haven't been clinical when it matters. We've relied on pretty much one young lad purely to score our goals. We've lacked pace and have been ponderous in possession. Having a better attack naturally puts less pressure on the defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerseybean Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 My favourite memory of Villa Park was when I was there in 1968 (aged 11) to witness a 4-2 City win......anyone else rember this game? Settle for any kind of win tonight tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samo II Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 I think we'll both score and concede tonight; be more than happy with a draw (though if that is the case, a Blackburn loss would be preferable). That all said; if whatever side we play shows the same spirit and application that we did Saturday, I'll be happy. Won't be able to listen or even check on things much tonight, so hoping for a pleasant surprise when I look for the scores late tonight. COYR!

ChippenhamRed Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Good start tonight for me. Parked on someone's drive (via JustPark), sat in the car eating our sandwiches, and the friendly Brummie owner brought out a cup of tea! Also told us he used to work at Villa Park but was made redundant when they went down. What a lovely man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, would you have turned down £15m and probably a sell on clause percentage? We all know he wasn't worth nowhere near that so good bit of business. Yes we have Tammy until May but then we can splodge the Kodj cash on a new striker. Plus we have Matty who isn't none too shabby in the champs.

RedM Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Coaches have arrived and parked up. No one is moving as it's absolutely bucketing down here. Some surrounding roads have huge puddles/floods. Rain hammering on coach roof. Will get soaked just getting into ground! Turnstyles not open yet.

Had no choice he wanted to go and refused to play. This ridiculous idea that you can just say no you aren't going to another club to triple your salary and then expect them to give 100% for your club is fantasy. The club got a great deal.
