Aston Villa Banter Archive February 01 2013 to March 03 2013

I've noticed that when clark is captain, he has some of the worst performances of his career, but when vlaar is captain he has a half decent game! Think he spends more time worrying about everybody around him then what he's doing, he gets quite hypocritical! Baker deserves a place a lot more than clark in my opinion, he'll throw himself at any ball from a corner, at both ends of the pitch and if he's one on one with somebody, he'll do what he can to stop them. Cazorla's first goal just proved which one of them pair fights for the team more, because after baker made the block from behind clark he then ran straigh past him and threw himself at the ball to try and stop the goal! What did clark do? He stood there watching!

Clark is a weakness that should be eliminated. Another cock up another loss. Even an amatuer knows that if you are the last man u clear the ball, not f--- about with it. If we could see all the headed goals given away, I am sure you will see Clark looking at the ball. We seem to have got rid of Bannan but we must get rid of Clark. Come on PL look at the obvious, we have a back 4 problem and who is ever present in the back 4?

Totally agree! Every corner that comes in, he is standing in no mans land and benteke is marking the player that clark should be, i'm fairly certain it should be the other way around, for one of man city's corners, benteke was marking yaya toure and who was clark marking? The edge of the 6 yard box! He's awful but I bet when vlaar is fit, if ever, he'll play 5 at the back or he'll push baker to left back, I really feel sorry for baker, he's a proper defender but he's constantly doing clark and bennetts jobs!

Clark should be left as a sub. until he learns the right place to be as a defender. But who have we got to stick in the back in his place? I wouldn't mind a little bet that if we got Vlarr, Baker and thingame, you know, that bloke that plays for Ireland, came from Man. City, whatshis name. Got it Bunn, no sorry Dunn. Is he still on our books?Where is the latest signing Syllva? He could be useful at the back. Hard taclking and no prisoners, just what we now need before it is too late.

To be honest i'd rather have derrick williams at centre back over clark! Everpresent in reserves and every time i've seen him he's been top class! Dunne is too old and too fat, think he'll be gone at the end of his contract

struggling to see how we are going to get 15m+ for benteke, scored 15 goals this season has pace and 3 years left on contract--on that basis weimann must be worth 10m+ too, ten goals just as quick few years left, tranfers are bloody stupid these days think we paid about right for him at 7m

Benteke has scored 20 goals this season as he scored 5 in the belgium league before signing for villa on deadline day with 3 yrs left on his contract.

20+ goals a season strikers are worth a minimum of 15m to 30 plus

Weimann will get better and better but with him he was 18 months left so if he chooses to leave we'll have to swallow it and he'd leave for peanuts

Think the 3 that go down will probably be the ones there now. QPR are certain, Villa deserve it as they should have gone down last season and Reading just not good enough. Think West Ham could make a late surge for relegation also.

Your theory of deserve to go down after last year, and you leave wigan out who have done it for 4 years on the bounce wigan, qpr and reading with us scrapping it out by the skin of our teeth.

But you all keep going on about what a massive club villa is, so they shouldn't in theory be near the relegation zone if your claim is correct. Wigan aren't a big club with huge support and they survive. No, if a so called big club are near the relegation zone one season it could be viewed as a one off, where as villa are making a habit of it so they deserve to go down.

Whoever goes down will have deserved it
Whatever happened last year of or the year before has nothing to do with it
Mendax

So stop going on about your history being a reason for staying up, it means nothing, look at Leeds, man city, forest, Norwich and wolves, all big clubs all been down there.

You are obviously not a Villa fan so why does it even bother you mate?
People who do support the club are going through a miserable time and are very frustrated. It can lead us to reminisce about better days and get anxious because, whether you agree or not, Villa are a big club who really should not have got themselves in such a mess
The point is, what is it to you?
If you can't stand the sound of self pitying Villa fans going on about a proud history, STOP COMING ON AN ASTON VILLA SITE!
It's very simple Einstein
Mendax

Norwich a big club! What are you on? Never heard a supporter of any club think that Norwich as a big club.

With all the persons posting on here, it makes one think that they suffer an inferiority complex. Villa should not be where they are, no argument, but performance states that is where we lie. History does not guarantee league status but history is real hope is just that and envy is an unenviable state of mind. Villa can prove history and Villa, via McGregor, founded the football league. That is real and Villa should be in the top 6. Unfortunately not with the squad that takes the field every Saturday or Monday, Tuesday Wednesday and Friday, oh and Sunday.

Just face it, you're not a big club in the premier league, but you will be a big one in the championship, your wish is soon to be granted

23 Feb 2013 18:12:54
Looking grim for mr lambert, that's another one of his cup finals lost. While his former team prosper

Have Norwich not got a website because you like to be on here no doubt no reply for a while this is your best time for sheep rustling ohh arr

We are staying up
You are going down
Happy Happy Happy

PS Yeah City do have a website but its so much fun coming here winding you up (now just sit back and wait for the bait to be taken)

Fishing aswell as sheep rustling very impressed bet you've never been to a match in your life we defo stay up but thanks for your concern ohh arr

Now come on folks, you know you should never mock the aflickted, let the Yam Yam's think they will stay up, If Lambert had stayed here it might have been us down there

And we wait till final whistle befor we leave

Bet no villa fans come to Norwich in May, Not when you are already down, only to see us in Party mood

Still amazes me that the sheep lovers spend so much time on the Villa site, they must be really boring shepherds, walking around in their Wellies. I will be at Carrow Rd in May, perhaps you would like to make an effort and be there to identify yourself. Or are you as yellow as your shirts? You continue to hide behind words. Tell me where you will be and I will willingly buy you a bevy for giving most of the Villa fans so much fun. You also don't know your geography, Yam Yams are the Black country, Baggies Wolves Walsall. Villa are in Birmingham. In passing, I have been on the Norwich site and most of the entries are very well made and polite, more interested in their own team.

We will fill the away end and come and smash you 4-1 again with a second string. Hughton is doing a good job though can see him at the villa

You would love hughton and holt at the village, unfortunately I doubt they want championship football

Thanks for the invite sweetie but you would probably want more than just a drink and you won't find that here

Why do people get the hump when other clubs fans come on thier sites for a bit of Banter, its just the same as the match day, you shout we shout you lose we win what's the problem? Are the Villa fans so upset that they made the wrong appointments in the summer and are actually regretting it now, where as other fans are laughting at you Not just Norwich fans either

Agree totally mate, villa fans like to give banter but can't take it. They also think somehow they have a right not to have bad times on the pitch. Apparently if you have been in the premier league for however many seasons you're automatically exempt from relegation!

And they will probably have the biggest and emptiest stadium in the Championship next season, as they all start to support West Brom

Yep, they're not famous anymore

They are obviously still famous otherwise you wouldn't keep taking the p---. Most of you are too young to remember previous hard times at VP. 48000 v Bournmouth in Div 3
64000 v Cardiff in div 2. If you want to look at more recent comparison then go north ( hold the map straight ) and go to the top of the page. There you will find Scotland and Rangers FC. Div 3 and filling all the grounds. When did your team put 40000 bums on seats? Or perhaps your ground can't hold more than 25000.

Hope arsenal take out their past performances on villa on Saturday, then a nice thrashing from Man City. ouch, can see another 8-0

What jealous team do you support quick your baths ready bye bye

Not a team destined for the championship like yours is

We won't get relagated but even if we did why does it interest you get yourself a life and I bet you probably never been to a football match in your life now jog on

Haha, classic response - we won't but IF we did - that IF is looking mighty likely.

20 Feb 2013 22:32:04
Can't really see any points for Villa from next two games against Arsenal and Man City, then two relegation six pointers, not looking good for Villa

19 Feb 2013 06:28:43
Thanks for giving up your premier league place for Cardiff

Don't speak to soon Mate. I seem to remember you throwing away a seemingly unassailable promotion position in the not too distant past
Mendax

Not this time under Malky, a proper Scottish manager

Well what happened last night then?

That's one game, what's happened all season for villa?

So the nationality of your manager means you will win every game left in the season? I'm not saying you won't come

I hope you do come up so you can get spanked by Swansea you might change your kit colour again by then villa will stay up bad run ins for other clubs so post something in a couple of months if you manage the playoffs and thank you for your kind concern for our club bless ya

And you might change your manager again now this one is failing

The way I see it cardiff got done by the mighty seagulls (brighton) at least our losses are against team in the TOP FLIGHT of england so come back in a few months when u lost out in the payoffs YET AGAIN

Who is your next manager going to be?

Cardiff 0 Brighton 2, nuff said

I hope cardiff do come up so you get smashed by swansea who are twice the club you are

17 Feb 2013 16:12:23
Do you think that Bent and Benteke will leave? Or one of them? I'm really not too sure. Thanks guys for your thoughts!

Benteke is so overrated

The nightmare scenario is that we lose Benteke and keep Bent
If we go down we lose Benteke, that's for certain
I couldn't care less about Bent
Mendax

Aston Villa was born in 1874 up until recent years we survived without either, and I am sure we will survive beyond them, fans get so fixated on players always other players to bring in and replace them. NO PLAYER is bigger then any CLUB

Benteke, just a bully - nothing more

Most real C/F are bullies as they use their presence to intimidate defenders. Most C/H are bullies and are happy to spread a little muscle about the pitch. What is the difference, Benteke is honest, he takes and he gives both without complaining. I guess you would like to see a bunch of fairies trotting round the pitch? I'm for the mans game myself, how about you lovies?

Beast of a comment, top bloke

14 Feb 2013 20:12:06
whens the last time we have scored from a free kick?

The last game.

That is a fact but not sure what it has to do with original post.

13 Feb 2013 12:00:35
Where have all the carrot crunchers gone, they have become very quiet

6 points clear of the Aston Village persons. like one of your lot says a bit further down this page, the table doesn't lie. hence you're still going down. Don't think a win against a poor West Ham side is going to salvage your season, let's see how you fare in your next game away to Arsenal.

Unfortunately a lot of our truthful posts are being blocked by Ed to stop your feelings being hurt.

Get back to the wurzels website villa are staying up worry about your horsemeat pies in your farmyard of a ground we still got and beat you again at your own farm

Haha, bet you won't be there when we relegate you, you'll be sat in your armchair, in your tower block. Village Park looking very empty at home matches, you Village people have given up on your team, can't say I blame you, enjoy the championship lol

I must say carrot rd has great facilities for parking your tractor and the friendly stewards will bend over backwards to look after your cattle

Why worry, after this season you'll never play there again. village going down

You need to learn a bit of respect! villa are one of seven teams that have been consistantly in the epl since it began. this stint in the epl is only lent to norwich and how much egg will you have on your face as the villa go from strength to strength with a great mgr (who obviously knew the truth about norwich hence left for a big club) and remain in the epl while norwich go back were they best fit - league 2! utv sotc

Get ready for it, those of you who think you have a Devine right not to be relegated are in for a shock

Can't wait to see Villa in the championship

Must mean that they will be playing at Carrow rd. when you slide down the table. Remember that your performance over the last few weeks is the worst in the prem. You boasted that 7 points seperated the teams and you were looking at Europe. Only way you will get there is if Hughton can write a decent song. Go back where you belong, you are stopping real teams from playing in the prem. Villa may not survive but they will get back. PL took rubbish up, see what he can do when he gets a real team playing for him.

Ha ha, when you go down, and you will Lambert won't be able to save you, your a club full of high earning prima donnas who won't be up for hard man football in the championship. What Lambert had at Norwich was a team full of honest hard working footballers, not prima Donna chavs like your pink Bentley driving muppet, what a brilliant but he's turned out to be, lol. No, sorry but you will go down, and you won't be back anytime soon, make way for decent teams in the prem.

If we're that bad what does that make village? Six points less and a hatful more conceded. lol

I always say that it takes one to know one, are you a chav? You write like an ill informed and are unaware that eventually Villa will rise again while your bunch of hard working "poor" men may well slide away to where you started from. WE all agree that it looks bad for Villa, but should Villa win at the emierates and your hard working mob lose there would be just 4 pts difference. now go and tend to your sheep, they are very lonely.

Doesn't matter if its 4 points or one we will finish above you, even on level points your goal difference will relegate you. You really have nothing going for you. poor Villa R. I. P.

Do you really think so, or are you trying to bolster your hopes as you slide down the table? I think that you are a living the dream of staying in the prem. You are not safe and even 1 point may not be enough to save you from the champs, your real home. Because if Villa drop further as you predict so will you and others may win enough to stay up. Now there's an interesting thought. Villa will still get a bigger crowd than you, but we already do that. The ground may appear empty to the TV viewer, but believe me 30000+ in a ground that holds 45k is still a lot more then the carrot patch.

You've just admitted it, your grounds too big for you. We could fill ours twice over whereas you can't fill yours to two thirds capacity. Mr Lerner should sell it to Tesco, knock down decrepit Village park and build a supermarket, at least they would get more visitors.

Still bitter about lambert he clearly hated working on a farm

11 Feb 2013 13:33:46
Liked the look of dawkins yesterday, think he will be a player who can provide and chip in with a few in the battle to stay up.

Poor old andi weiman hope he forgets that miss!

Benteke to man city, that's fine, give us £15 million, Milner and lescott; its a deal. We get 2 good players for key positions and £15 million for a replacement

One slight flaw in your reasoning, neither Lescot nor Milner will be prepared to play in the championship, oh yeah and your over inflated valuation of the arsenal fan. lol

Benteke is a flash in the pan, £4. mil is way to much for him you Brummies live in cloud coockoo land

Dreamin, your always dreamin. When big Ben goes to a better club and he will, he will score many goals. Sounds like envy to me pal.

11 Feb 2013 05:52:51
Nathan delfouneso scored another vital goal for Blackpool on the weekend. He will be like a new signing at villa

No he won't he is rubbish

05 Feb 2013 17:41:02
Hearing from "inside" that the match fixing that Europol are looking at is our own AVFC. They are questioning how a team can be in the lead so many times and manage to lose so easily. Watch the news, it may be confirmed. Sorry, it just seems to be such a coincidence.

Agree, someone in the Villa drome is Bent.....

04 Feb 2013 02:43:41
i don't see why we didn't put a bid in for upson type players, experienced defenders are what we need NOT attackers. We have scored a winnable amount of goals lately and played ok at times, but the defense is where improvement is needed we concede too many sloppy and late goals (everton and west brom alone cost 4 points), with no dunne who can we rely on now? changes where needed and it could cost big time.

How about Utd, 3 pts given away? That makes 7 easy points thrown away. Clark is not good enough to play at the back. If you look at the goals conceded at corners Clark is in view but not in contact. I think that he is not able to work oput the flight of the ball so he cannot get to the player that scores, everytime! reo coker is afree agent, lots of stories before the end of Jan. don't think much of him but he does have experiance that our defence and midfield lack.

03 Feb 2013 09:44:17
alan pardew throws his new players straight into the fight and they start producing, what's lambert do sticks them on the bench

Because there not as good as those in the team

02 Feb 2013 17:24:44
Here we go again 3-1 up and throw it away. the villa players must have f**king nightmares about corners. can't see us getting out of this now.
ho one more thing did you notice sissoko netted 2 today MR LERNER.

Yeah he did, sitting pretty on his 75-85k wages.

75 to 85k is nothing compared to loosing 60 million

60 mill won't be spent on the team!

Lerner wants performance related pay. This lot owe me money.

01 Feb 2013 23:30:02
What are your score predictions for the Everton Aston Villa game? I have some bizarre optimism that we might get something out of the game. {Ed003's Note - 10-0 }

Not looking for a win, i'm looking for a solid performance for 90 minutes, no more of this playing well for the first 10 minutes then letting it go to pot until its too late to turn it around, nobody would expect a win at everton if we were 19th or 5th! If w keep the scoreline down and put in a good fight i'll be pleased, a point will be a very good result for us!

10-0 to Villa? I thought I was being optimistic!

I don't know why but every time we play at Goodison we put in a good performance I reckon we'll go 1-0 up then 1-1 then 2-1 us then it will finish 2-2

My Prediction is Villa declared relegated by mid April

01 Feb 2013 17:35:30
Maybe I can shed some light on why we have brought a 'striker' in on loan until the end of the season. From what I know simon dawkins' contract with spurs is up in july, we've loaned him for the remainder of his contract then we'll possibly get him on a free transfer, saved ourselves a bit of money there! Not had the best start to his career but he's certainly worked hard to get back to where he is, and he's more than happy to play on the wing, agbonlahor and weimann are both strikers but lambert is constantly opting put both on the wing, I have no doubts that dawkins is going to play on the wing meaning weimann can push back upfront considering he is a 'born finisher' as lambert said himself. I know for sure a few san jose fans were sad to see the back of him and he's even been described as the best player they had! lets at least give the lad a chance and see if he's got what it takes in the premier league! He certainly has a lot more fight than most of the players we've got!

Simon Dawkins is hoing to be a villa legend - for sure! With a bit of luck injury wise he will be england captain!
