Did anyone else hear the 'Villa' supporter on 606 tonight? He said that he wasn't a fan of Bent and he went on to mention that he can't score against the top teams in the Premier League! Obviously this fan doesn't rate both the Manchester clubs highly than most other people!

In fact Bent has a very good scoring record against both of these teams plus Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham and LIverpool!

Probably an WUM. Bent has already scored for us against both Man City and Man Utd who are in the top 4.

Who's our defensive coach? Why can't we defend set pieces anymore? What's happened to Richard Dunne?

Our defence has been shocking and a disgrace this season.

Blackpool has every chance to snatch this. Our final delivery is poor and the defence is shambolic.

Wouldn't complain if Blackpool won. They'd deserve it.

Bent off for Heskey...christ.:sleep: He did well with the signings, but tactically I'm not convinced by Houllier at all.

Me neither.

I don't wanna see him have another season if this is the best he can do.

Makoun red card. Things are going from bad to worse.

Bradley on. Hope he can help drag us out of this mess.

Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic.

I've given Houllier a second chance, but my patience with him is fast running out again.

I was hoping for a Villa win today, Ian Holloway gets on my wick.

Houllier 22 Premiership games in charge of Villa 5 wins from them.

What an absolutely appauling result.

Blackpool were on a bad run and we couldn't even take 3 points off them.

Houllier has got the whole squad back and has gotten a generous kitty from Lerner. And this is the best he can do? :sleep:

Is anyone else getting sick of Young? He whinges alot, falls over all the time, his nowhere near effective 'in the hole', wastes chances and worst of all he think his bigger than the club. He ain't even that good as a captain.

I can honestly say I won't be sad to see him go in the summer. Especially if we sell him at a ridiculous amount.

This is meant to be our best player as well. Good grief. You can tell we bought the best of the worst bunch if you catch my meaning. All the 'best' players from the clubs who were relegated or near the bottom.

Very disappointing result for Villa. Considering the form Blackpool have had recently, this was ours for the taking but once again we look like a soft touch. Now we have a full squad, Houllier should be doing better than this and look to tweak the formation for the Blackburn game and perhaps a change in personnel. My idea would be to swap Young with Gabby and put Bannan in an attacking midfield role to hover behind the front two, and also if Houllier could do some defending work on the training ground that would be good.

As for Young - as far as I am concerned, he will be off in the summer. I expect him to go to a London team, Redknapp seems to be an admirer so perhaps a deal for him to move in exchange for Walker and several million would be good. If Kranjcar was also involved in that deal, I would be supportive of that. Young has been a good captain when I seen him with the armband on, but just get the feeling that his heart is not with the club anymore. A shame, as on his day he is a cracking player.

Regarding Sian Massey - if that is the case of our own fans booing her, shame on them. Although every team has their own share of idiots following them, it's embarrasing to the decent Villa fans and the team itself that a minority has to let them down. Disgraceful.

Why are you going on as if the whole club did it and approved of it? I was wary something like this would happen and was disappointed that it did. She's gonna get chants from alot more clubs. It's inevitable. I'm sure she's thick skinned to handle it though. Give her some credit.

I've always found Young to be somewhat overrated. When he's in form he is a good player, but he's never given me the impression that he's irreplaceable. If he does go, he'll go with my best wishes but I don't think we'd miss him THAT much if he does.

Please do not assume that all of us approve of that. I speak for the majority of our fans when I say that it's bitterly disappointing that SOME of our fans decided to chant towards Massey. Those that did are a disgrace.

Unbelieveable. We've had 4 red cards THIS YEAR already:

Heskey - Sunderland
Young - Sheff Utd
Baker - Blackburn
Makoun - Blackpool

Why is there no discipline? Why can't we defend set pieces properly? We rarely score from them as well. The management is beyond a joke.

I wonder if this is what Houllier says to our players?

"Salut. Pass, pass, pass les ball at our own half to look fancy for abit. Pass les ball to Downing so he can bottle it. Autoriser Young to take freekicks so he can waste les ball. Let Gabby do rien. Bent you can enjoy les ball not being livré ŕ vous. If you haven't got les ball l'obtenir ŕ tout prix!!! . Au revoir."

Had a few drinks yesterday afternoon, so I apologize to all the decent Villa fans out there. I was at Home Park once when some of my team's supporters chanted a rather horrific song.

Nobody hasn't chanted at an official, but it really should be for decisions they've done, rather then gender or race, that's just scummy behaviour in my opinion.

No worries. I agree completely with what you say...it is disappointing to hear fans give officials unjustified abuse.

I wonder if this is what Houllier says to our players?

From now on, I will only ever be able to imagine that that is what he does say to them.

As do you lot. I've never seen such knee jerk reactions. After only a couple of games, injuries and all, lots wanting Houulier out on here, then a few good results and signings and lots then on board, now a away draw at Blackpool and the knives are out again.

Appauling why? Do you have a divine right to win away at Blackpool? Thye have actually beaten quite a few sides home and away this season so I don't see why an away point with Ten men is appauling?

I have to say I am disappointed in a lot of these comments, not a lot of fan backing going on for sure.

I was happy with the signings he made, but his management skills for us still has alot to desire. I have no idea why he continues to play Gabby, Young and Downing out of position when it's clear as day not working. There's also still the issue of leaking goals at a regular basis. We've never looked comfortable winning any league game under Houllier. His spent 30m and the scum has surpassed us with two games in had. That's outright poor if you ask me seeing as our fixtures weren't any harder. No knee jerk reaction here.

Blackpool have the worst home record in the league and they were in a poor run of form losing 5 in a row. There wasn't an easier game to get 3 points from.

We've got 11 games left and it's gonna get harder each time we scrap draws, which we shouldn't be doing now considering we've spent 30m this window and have the players to get us out of this mess.

No. I merely said that I wasn't impressed with Houllier's tactics, I said nothing about Blackpool's result. Do you think playing a winger up front and playing a striker on the left wing are good tactics? As for Bent subbed for Heskey, I was unfair there as I forgot that Bent had been on international duty.

I have to say I am disappointed in a lot of these comments, not a lot of fan backing going on for sure.
I support the club, not the manager. When we win, I will cheer. When we don't win, I will be gutted. Houllier's record as manager so far is 5 Premiership wins out of 22. That is roughly a 23% win rate, which isn't great. His signings might be fantastic, but the results still aren't. How much more patience should we have with him? Especially when you look at Liverpool. They got rid of Roy Hodgson (who had less time than Houllier has had) and have shot up the league.

We've pulled out of the FxPro sponsorship deal after this season. I've read that they wanted to lower the price of the deal, but Villa weren't willing. I can't say I'm sorry to see them go, I've never liked their logo on our shirts...looks really tacky.

We NEED three points today. Don't let us down, guys.
