Ipswich going down? What twat said that, clearly we're challenging for promotion. We dominated Barnsley en route to a 2-1 smashing.

Mick McCarthy must have shoved his giant Yorkshire boner up an old gypsy lady to honor her dying wish, and in return she granted points. It's the only explanation I can come up with because we went in to this game with our back four hosed and although we predictably shipped 3 goals we scored 4!?!?!?!

I don't understand this madness but we're about 20% of the way to safety which was my hope for the season.

Steve Bruce said that Villa fans got carried away by the John Terry signing and our expections of being higher than loving 23rd in the table are perhaps unrealistic.

quote:

Under-fire Aston Villa manager Steve Bruce insists he is the man to turn the club’s fortunes around and believes John Terry’s signing got people carried away.

Villa – who were touted as strong promotion favourites ahead of the season’s start – have had a tough start to the campaign after picking up just one point in their opening three games.

Reading were the latest team to dispatch the Villans on Tuesday night, as they triumphed 2-1 at the Madjeski Stadium, and some fans are already starting to turn on Bruce.

The former Hull City manager was particularly damning after Saturday’s dire 3-0 loss to Cardiff City as he questioned the character of his side and admitted he was struggling to find the right balance – despite being in the job since October.

However, after the latest defeat Bruce admits people’s perceptions and anticipations may have skyrocketed to unrealistic levels following the signing of Chelsea legend Terry.

“We obviously signed JT, people have got carried away with the euphoria of it all,” Bruce said after the Reading loss.

“We are where we are and I’m convinced I’m the right one to turn it round.

“There’s still obviously a load of work to be done but judge us when all the players are fit and ready and at the minute we are having a tough time.

“We’ve had a tough start – Newcastle had a tough start last year – we have to batton down the hatches, still believe in what we are doing and get that win which will obviously give everyone a lift.

Bruce also highlighted how the club’s recent turmoil should be taken into account when assessing their current struggles.

And he reaffirmed that he has the experience and the know-how to get them going in the right direction once more.

“The club has been in constant change round in every transfer window for the past five or six – there is no denying that,” Bruce added.

“I can’t control that, of course, as I said at the top of the interview I’ve done it before and given time I will turn it round.

“At the minute we are all disappointed with it but that’s where we are so we have to accept it, take the flak that comes your way in getting beat these days, and that’s what any manager of a club like ours has to put up with.

“I’m not shy in my belief that we will turn it round and we will make a fist of it.”

It's also good to know that the players still aren't fit and ready for the new season, 3 games in. The twat.

Brucey finally got it right today, yes Hutton is shite and should have come off earlier, but he did pull the trigger and with Bree in they stopped abusing our right wing.

Great to see Hourihane hatty to shut every moron Villa fan the gently caress up about him being Westwood mk2.

Terry shocking today, but a much needed win to hopefully turn the ship around.

Oh and whoever has a Villa mate who things Hutton isn't poo poo needs to euthanize that fucker for the future of humanity
