Lack of hope leads to despair until ultimately there is hope and defiance. The sooner we get out of the desperation stage the better for all concerned, whether that is by virtue of a miraculous climb up the table or a general consensus that we are adrift and it is best to start planning for […]
Many words have been scribed about our plight and the fractious fallibility in some eyes that our manager in situ is not the guy for the job. Fair enough, we are all entitled to our valued opinion but do you not think that we are […]
…it’s a phrase that I’ve heard a lot over the last few days. With suggestion being that defeat to Bolton, admittedly a damaging and verging on embarrassing defeat, has taken us into some new ground, over some boundary where somehow things are different and it becomes more acceptable to call for the managers head, whatever […]
You don’t always get what you wish for in football, however on Saturday it appeared that we got the exact opposite.

“Whelan admits he’s looking to sell up” screamed Wish FM and a host of copycat websites last week. In other news, Germany have invade Poland and Freddie Mercury decides he prefers boys to girls. Quite.
It was 15th August 2009, a lovely Summer’s day at Villa Park when we turned up, passed the ball around with all the swagger of a monobrowed Mancunian and returned home with a 2-0 victory. It was a moment of beauty, a stunner from Rodallega; a goal from enfant terrible Jason Koumas: yes he’d even […]
