Jamie Carragher has just said that there isn't a single player in the Aston Villa squad he'd want. There isn't a single Premier League player in the squad, I completely agree with him and have made that point myself, in this thread. Their performance today, individually and collectively was ridiculous. They say you learn more about a player in defeat than in victory, well - what did we learn about Aston Villa players today?
They have nothing. No spirit, no pride, no ability and overall - no class.

Another example which should make us all very thankful for the owner we have.

Good isn't it? I don't mind Villa, a pretty innocuous team/club, but I'm sure we'll hear the usual garbage trotted out "A club that should be in the Premiership"

Bet they will be favourites with the bookies to BOUNCE back too

Old traditional club if you ask me, with a good history. Much prefer them to the other twats from Brum.
Encouraging for us in a sense that (should we not make it this year) it'll be one club coming down with an owner that has utterly given up and lost his love for football (if he ever had it to start with), and one less for us to worry about. I doubt he will be able to sell the club for a couple of seasons at least, despite it having already been offered publicly for a while now.
Even with the parachutes it's a club with a hierarchy that is renowned for making woeful decision after woeful decision. Only way that club will ever have success again is through a takeover.
Could also be bad for us if we go up, 6 free points lost Perhaps palace will oblige.

There are some players at Villa who are - or at least have been - decent PL players: Richards, Lescott (England internationals), Richardson, Hutton, Gujan, Cissoko, Hutton, Agbonlahor. Not enough PL players maybe, but there seems to be some sort of incurable malaise at Villa - as you say, no pride, no class.

Only visited Villa once. Not the best of surroundings for a ground but plenty of cheap boozers.
Bet they won't. I reckon they're a good bet to go down. If they're not among the favourites for the drop, I'm going LARGE on them

Yep! Probably do a Bolton.

Villa are a side who have lost their identity, they used to be a team that would soak up pressure, and with the pace up-front, hit teams on the break.
Watching them today, I had no idea what their game plan was.
I can't think of many championship sides I've seen this season that wouldn't have beaten them today, maybe the Brentford side from last week.

The car picture was a real one, the text is not correct that's a made up/photo shopped tweet. Very silly though.

None of those players are any good and Aly Cissokho?!
Good lord, even VILLA loaned him out. They recalled him to avoid having to play Joe Bennett, who they've loaned out twice this season. Alan Hutton and Agbonlahor are very fortunate they've been anywhere near the Premier League for this long and there's a reason why Kieran Richardson flits between clubs every couple of seasons and almost all of them struggle against relegation. Brad Guzan is rightly dropped, he's a shot stopper but all round? Even I would prefer Stockdale to him. I've nothing against Joleon Lescott or Micah Richards but I wouldn't want either of them in our squad, sincerely. Jack Grealish either, the kid has nothing. Scott Sinclair would be a good option though, he'd need to be interviewed first though - there's a strong chance he's not the sort of person who would suit a tight knit dressing room.

Werent we in for Sinclair when Poyet was here but he chose Swansea?
You're missing the one player they have that actually IS any good- Jordan Ayew. Bit of an idiot but could go on to be a decent player at PL level if he grows up a bit.
