George Bailey

Lambert's a classic example of what I said earlier. Absolutely no guarantees with managers. There was nothing between him and Rodgers two years ago, both had done equally well with unfashionable clubs, finished on the same points total and Norwich actually scored 8 more goals than Rodger's Swansea - and 14 more the previous season in the Championship! Now Lambert's in charge of a turgid and dull Villa side whilst Liverpool are one of the most exciting and ruthless teams to ever play Premier League football. This is why I don't believe in sticking with a manager out of blind hope, it's too easy to make a mistake that's not necessarily anyone's fault, just a mismatch. You've got to keep rolling the dice if you think you've got the wrong man. Get out early or it can really f*** you. There was one stand out difference between Lambert and Rodgers two seasons ago and that was their football philosophy. When Liverpool went for Rodgers I said in the Parky thread that it was a smart move and could undo the damage done by Dalglish simply because he played football the right way at Swindon like Martinez before him. These are the type of managers who can make the step up to a top club whereas Lambert's Norwich were very much a direct football team more suited to championship standard football. I'm amazed that Lambert is still in charge, and that the Villa fans haven't turned on him massively. Absolute dross of a manager imo: no different to Billy Davies, Mcleish or any of the other dour fuckers. Such a sad statet of affairs for a club like Villa, not sure things will majorly improve with their owner either mind.

Wind up surely! The comments below reflect the wider held opinions on MA and his self serving puppet. "fingering Scarlett Johanson" LOL

Yep. 100% re the 'submissive to the core' bit. I respect Ian a lot on here, never met him, but he comes across as absolutley genuine, and a good lad unlike the obvious WUMs. However, if you are complicit in giving support to a rotten regime, them you are part of the problem. It's as simple as that. if you keep giving this foul, vile, corrupt and despicable lot your money, turn up and give credence to their utter destruction and dismantling of our club, then you are an enabler, a collaborator and part of the reason nowt will change. Irrespective of how much % of the blame lies with Pardew or Ashley, or the gutless players, by continuing to validate them you are complicit in doing harm to our club in the long term. It is clear our 'owner' despises us, the club and the area. His manager is a puppet, a self promoting charlatan, a media savvy one mind, i'll give the vile cunt that. The contempt and loathing I have for these people is second to none in relation to any of the previous muppets we have had at our club. this lot are rotten to the core.

This is the most amazing and depressing thing for me. Where the fuck has our passion and love of the club gone? Are people actually that brain washed they will take this shit, just cos weve survived in 'da premier league'.... Embarrassing actually. From a position of one of the the most passionate and knowledgable set of fans to this meek display of subservient apathetic, weak kneed, lilly livered, cowardly enablers and apologists.

is there anyway you can put someone on ignore so you don't have to read the crap they spout? Yes by using the ignore button. Can we get the team one for Pardpoo. Already on it i think. True, true.

I know its absolute bullshit george, much like your batting form in the recent t20 world cup. I will see you one George Bailey and raise you one Jade Dernbach.

Gotta have subs to bring on.

So are there 'sub' key passes too?: a pass that leads to a pass that creates a goalscoring chance, or an assist itself? Jeez. this was called just playing football in my day. Seems we have data telling us how effective players are that we see being largely ineffective week after week.

Manone isn't it.

They're pornstars, man. Of course they're not going to be offended. Names man FFS. Sandy is on the left and I think the one on the right is called Alexis Texas. Never heard of em............................... Oh for the days of Seka, Lyssa Thatcher etc.

0-3 again.

I think we made that decision in January to be fair Ian. TBH looking at our remaining fixtures, only the 'Welsh' games look remotely winnable. Even then they will probably have much more to play for in terms of the result Zero points from the remaining games is a distinct possibility.

Very much agree with this. I just can't get my head around it. He can't be THAT despersate for cash and work surely. Sullying his rep big style for me.

Dear god why? End of May can't come soon enough, with the faint hope of Armageddon midst season to put us out of our f***ing misery. I've never seen Newcastle play and this is fairly easy to get to. I had wanted to go to a game in Newcastle this season, but can't be bothered now. I'm completely sick of this season, but perhaps we will have some (false) hope to get excited about for next season. Maybe. I just want to see a game once. I almost wish I was just 'casual' fan so I could just watch a game without having to worry about what the owner or manger is doing, or any of this other s***. fair play mate, enjoy Well you know what I mean. (Its not too late for you to save yourself years of misery by the sounds of it...get out, get out now!)

LOL Tom fucking Daley with a hairpiece there!

LOL

Cynical foul.

Utter shit. he was off the fucking ground, two footed challenge, studs showing. Fuck me I've heard some shit from you glory hunting fucktards over the years, but howay man get real.

Straight red. Blatant, fucking ref man!
