Two good wins and narrow loss to Manchester City.
Can see them beating Leicester today.

It's funny.
I was pissed about the way Gerrard left, given the week we were all going through and his comments in his last interview, only for it to feel like he slipped away under darkness.
Now, given how much better the team is looking under a different manager? I don't really care about him anymore. Don't care if Villa win or lose. Pretty clear the team had adopted his own attitude and were just going through the motions, which is an indictment on him
Cheers for 55 and everything.
Don't ban me either admin.I hope Villa get pumped. Maybe one day I'll forgive him but in my own head, he's as bad as Naismith for me.
Remember admin it's only my opinion, so don't ban me for 3 days like the last time.
Gerrard looks very much like someone who has a 5-10 year plan, and that we had outlived the early part of it. For some reason I'm not sure he is making his own decisions, I can see him and a group of advisors trying to plot his every move to his ultimate goal.People saying it’s better that SG has left the building should perhaps wait a few months. The biggest part of his success was the back-room team and all the little details that went into our peparations. It will take several months, minimum, before we see a regression (if any) in that respect - and new manages typically arrive with a temporary boost in performance from the squad.
The bottom line is that under GVB and his team we simply don’t know if we have better setup, or a lesser setup than to what we had. It’s far too early to call that result. My money would be against it being better as I always felt Gerrard was in many ways carried by the team surrounding him - but that the respect he carried from being Stevie Gerrard was an important factor in his success. Combined with his back-room team we simply looked better coached and prepared than the tims. We will see if we still see that at the end of the season.
Excellent post mate, exactly how I feel. Was gutted at the time but I am more confident in us winning the league with our new management team.It's funny.

He beat rodgers once and lost once. He didn't have his number at all.Gerrard will win this
He had Rodgers number when he was here and I think he will continue that down south.
Gerrard is the better manager of the two, IMO. Rodgers just has experience on his side
Either way not arsed. Focus is on today and Rangers.
At this stage I honestly wonder why you still watch Rangers.Like most on here I suppose, I was slightly pissed at the timing of Gerrard's departure from Ibrox. But looking at the Villa v Man City game the other night - that provided some excellent football played by top class players in front of a full house - you can hardly blame SG for bailing out. His decision is all the more understandable when you consider how dire the SPL is, a league in which a game was just played between Hibs and Rangers - two of its top sides - in front of a sparsely attended Easter Road, that provided little by way of skill or entertainment.
Seems like I misjudged the time. Thought it was 1.5 seasons not .5 years.He beat rodgers once and lost once. He didn't have his number at all.
Ooooh staunchly staunchly%^*& Gerrard and %^*& Rodgers ...... today is all about Gio and us.
No, I just want Leicester the football club to beat Steven Gerrard, just like I wanted the other clubs to beat him and his team. For me, it's got nothing to do with Rodgers.Some people want a ex scum manager to beat a ex Rangers manager who stopped them getting ten in a row and left us in a great place??
Aye ok then.
And quite right tooOoooh staunchly staunchly
Do think he'll stuff rodgers' Leicester side tomo thoughSeems like I misjudged the time. Thought it was 1.5 seasons not .5 years.
Blaming covid
AgreeDo think he'll stuff rodgers' Leicester side tomo though
Fair enough.No, I just want Leicester the football club to beat Steven Gerrard, just like I wanted the other clubs to beat him and his team. For me, it's got nothing to do with Rodgers.
Naw yer awright auld yin.Move on mate ffs
It’s genuinely creepy how much of a focus Gerrard is for some people still.
It's nothing of the sort, mate, ffs. Folk are genuinely entitled to be still irked at a high profile, popular manager leaving us in the manner he did, amongst the lies and deceit.
Not obsessing, mate, I agree there, but eff all wrong with being still slightly let down. Some us still put a lot of faith in someone's word being their bond.Nah, you have to let it go I think. Move on. I don’t see what good it is to keep obsessing over Gerrard.
The Rat-icoRodgers vs Gerrard.
Remember the last time those two met ...
I can't. The game is tomorrow.Two good wins and narrow loss to Manchester City.
Can see them beating Leicester today.
He’s steadied the ship.You think we're playing any better? I honestly don't think so. I'm happy we've won the three games, but I don't really think Gio's made his mark yet.
You want an ex vermin manager to 'smash' an ex one of ours? This message board still surprises me after all these years at how easy tims can get in..I want Leicester to smash them !!
Is it ok for me to want Jock Wallaces old side to win?I find it absolutely absurd that some of us would want Leicester, managed by Brendan Rodgers, to win this one.
Yes, we all felt a bit let down by the manner in which Gerrard left, but chosing to support one of them is just weird in my head.
It's Martin O'Neill's old side as well ..Is it ok for me to want Jock Wallaces old side to win?
Thankfully my fondness for Rangers people far exceeds what I feel for any tramp who has any connection to the filth in the east end.It's Martin O'Neill's old side as well ..
So you want Rodgers to triumph over Gerrard? Is that right? Strange, and completely contradicts what you just saidThankfully my fondness for Rangers people far exceeds what I feel for any tramp who has any connection to the filth in the east end.
It's Jock Wallace's old side.
I never said I wanted either of them to win.So you want Rodgers to triumph over Gerrard? Is that right? Strange, and completely contradicts what you just said
So you want Rodgers to win..?I never said I wanted either of them to win.
Simply asked if it was ok to want Jocks old side to win.
You'll really need to point out where I said that.S
So you want Rodgers to win..?

I'm still raw over SG leaving us.You want an ex vermin manager to 'smash' an ex one of ours? This message board still surprises me after all these years at how easy tims can get in..
It's funny people desperately trying to paint it as a Rangers v celtc thing when we're talking about two managers who treated both sides with utter contempt.Couldn't give a Shit about Villa pre Gerrard.
Still Couldn't give a Shit about Villa.
That goes for Leicester as well.

Of course you are, Declan..I'm still raw over SG leaving us.
Idiot.Of course you are, Declan..
