Another defeat for villa

[two2tango]

Gerrard not finding it easy down there

 

[RickDagless]

While I don’t have any huge ill will towards him, his misery does give me a little enjoyment due to the nature of his leaving.

 

[The People]

Steven Gerrard is a Rangers legend and I'm grateful for all he done for us both on and off the pitch .

I wish him well in whatever job he is in.

 

[Stuart_WATP]

Their fans seem to be turning on him

 

[Markky]

Well we didn't all see that coming.

Wish him no harm, brought us 55 but I always found that move to be bizarre.

 

[Donsky]

Was always gonna be tough as any EPL gig is, but it got even tougher when Beale left

 

[Jjbscotty]

Wankers done my coupon.

 

[SDF]

Their fans seem to be turning on him

The reality is their fans never did take to him from day one.

He'll never have there what he had up here. No matter how many Coutinhos he buys.

 

[muttley]

Losing the opening game of a new season is hardly end of the world stuff.

 

[JW1988]

Villa is an almost impossible job. Not good enough or big enough for CL or even EL. So mid table is all they really can aim for. But their fans are as deluded as Aberdeen and still think they’re relevant.

 

[DerekSSR]

He must absolutely regret his choice to leave us, money aside.. He's been on record saying he loves the demand to win matches, Aston Villa was a bizarre move tbh.

 

[BobbyShearer]

It would be no surprise to see him lose his job this season.

But that league is so fucked it would be no surprise to see all of them bar PG and JK sacked by Xmas.

 

[Pentasa]

As we are going on about former Rangers employees I see Aribo lost his man (Dier) for Dier to score for Spurs today

 

[Loyal72]

Steven Gerrard is a Rangers legend and I'm grateful for all he done for us both on and off the pitch .

Legend is steep. One trophy in his time here doesn't scream legend.

Has his place in our history, that's it.

 

[Davester]

I'm over his leaving. We have much to thank him and his team for. Hopefully he does well wherever he goes.

 

[si72]

Mick Beale done the right thing bailing put.

 

[david1982]

Losing the opening game of a new season is hardly end of the world stuff.

You think lol

Had we lost at the macaroni hut last week this site would have been like Chernobyl for a week.

 

[scoot4nat]

Hope they get relegated. Stupid decision to leave us for mid table anonymity. Impossible to take them far to enhance his CV so truly hope they get fucked.

 

[sifter]

The reality is their fans never did take to him from day one.

He'll never have there what he had up here. No matter how many Coutinhos he buys.

I can’t see how any premiership team would take to him given how much he’s talked about the Liverpool job being his main aim. Was never going to work for him at a team in the same league as them.

 

[muttley]

You think lol

Had we lost at the macaroni hut last week this site would have been like Chernobyl for a week.

For us maybe, but Villa losing their first game. ? Hardly the same.

 

[bornabluenose]

Was never going to find it easy, yes he could spend astronomical amounts on players of his choosing, but so can the rest.

It then comes down to managerial ability, that will be the acid test for him.

 

[HowdenEnder]

Wankers done my coupon.

You're not alone going by the thread on here earlier. I couldn't understand the confidence in them today tbh.

 

[Torque_87]

I think Gerrard could end up out on his arse very quickly this season - just don't feel like their fans have ever truly accepted him and they'll turn on him far quicker than we ever would have.

He's spent an eye watering amount of money also, so he really doesn't have an excuse to be honest.

 

[thethunderer]

The fans will be expecting that Villa are knocking on the door of the Top-6 by the end of the season.

 

[Somemightsay]

Villa is an almost impossible job. Not good enough or big enough for CL or even EL. So mid table is all they really can aim for. But their fans are as deluded as Aberdeen and still think they’re relevant.

Tbh it should be relatively easy.

They've got rich owners and a lot of money to spend, 8th or 9th should be more than possible and I think fans would be happy with that. The issue is they finished 14th last season and finished the season is pretty horrible form. Losing to a not great newly promoted Bournemouth isn't the best of starts after another summer of spending a lot of money.

 

[Manc Bear]

Their fans seem to be turning on him

I’m out in Tenerife, chatting to a villa ST holder round the pool, they’re not happy with him at all

 

[Fergie90]

Could easily be gone in 6 weeks after the money they have spent.

Doesn't help that Villa think they are bigger and better than they are imo.

 

[temperance]

It's the first game, and away from home ffs.

 

[ShieldhallBear]

He brought us into the 21st century, helped us improve the stadium, training ground etc with his knowledge of top tier football, made us a force in Europe again, signed some fantastic players and won us the league. I can’t have any bad feelings towards him after all of that. Saying that I don’t really care how he gets on now, don’t particularly want him to do well or badly, we’ve moved on.

Looking back though it does seem a bit of a mad rash decision to leave us for them.

 

[The Pontiac Bandit]

When it comes down to it I don't really care if he succeeds or fails down there.

 

[CooperBlu11]

Steven Gerrard is a Rangers legend and I'm grateful for all he done for us both on and off the pitch .

I wish him well in whatever job he is in.

So do I.

I find it pathetic seeing Rangers fans taking great delight at seeing a guy who played his massive part in building us back up fail.

It’s pure Tim behaviour and it needs to go.

 

[Wordy_Rappinghood]

Two very poor goals they lost today.

 

[insanicdrunk]

He's spent an eye watering amount of money also, so he really doesn't have an excuse to be honest.

Hes probably just an ex-EPL player to them.

Said since he went this job took him further from the liverpool job, I doubt he will ever get it now.

 

[Biniaro11]

Wankers done my coupon.

You done well to get only one wrong.
I rushed my coupon while walking to the stadium and had the same bet on different lines……and yes it was down.

 

[Haining84]

I’d have him back.:shh:

 

[Cheshire bear]

To be honest I’m more interested on how Beale does at QPR Than Gerrard.

 

[scoot4nat]

So do I.

I find it pathetic seeing Rangers fans taking great delight at seeing a guy who played his massive part in building us back up fail.

It’s pure Tim behaviour and it needs to go.

He jumped ship mid season to take a job at a mid table cannon fodder.

 

[dougieb]

Word down in Birmingham is that he has 7 games or he is out, board not impressed by last season and the lack of spending to date says something about trust money men have in him still being there long term

 

[McQueen]

Gerrard not finding it easy down there

He’s going to find it even harder without Michael Beale.

 

[Alfie shhh!]

6 wins in 23 and just 2 in the last 12 which were against relegated teams. PL win rate is 34.5%. Bye bye soon no doubt.

 

[punk]

I’m out in Tenerife, chatting to a villa ST holder round the pool, they’re not happy with him at all

Enjoy your holiday, Manc

 

[W 2]

Wankers done my coupon.

This I agree with. Genuinely intrigued to see how he get's on as his own man.

 

[venturablue]

Takes alot to make me to dislike any Ranger who was once with us. Someone who brought us 55 is definitely not one of them. He had his reasons and we had our Euro run without him.

Let's get rid of his ex girlfriend mentality.

 

[LarkfiedLoyalNS]

People need to let it go.

And this is coming from someone who absolutely hated him for leaving us.

Wouldn’t expect him to come back to do an RTV appearance any time soon nor would he be invited any time soon either.

But the threads on here every time Villa lose is pathetic.

I hope Gerrard does well. I was pissed off at the time naturally, however he put us on back on the map and gave the club it's presence and respect back.

I'm not sure I'd consider him a club legend, one title and no cups in 3.5 seasons doesn't suggest a legend as Manager, however the one title he DID get due to the circumstances of what it meant in that individual season was legendary and for that at least, I'll always have fond memories. Just a real shame the fans weren't there every week to share it.

 

[Somemightsay]

They've spent about £50m and would have put a lot in on wages for Coutinho and Kamara.

I don't think they can afford to spend much more due to FFP. They were the world's highest net spenders over the last 3 years.

Or cucks assemble. They usually always group up whenever anyone has a laugh at him falling on his arse after snaking away the way he did.
