For once we actually need the club to surrender and they're going to fucking fight? Ha ha, excellent.

Managerial markets usually have betting suspended overnight.

On the one hand, Pardew leaves you to go to Crystal Palace On the other hand, Pardew leaves you.

Next year for Christmas I'd like a 5 minute pass to hit Harry Kane's enormous face with anything I want.

Incidentally, and this probably sounds a bit obvious, but if I supported your lot, the usurping of the term "United" to refer to just Manchester United and no other Uniteds, regardless of how long they've been around, would annoy me even more than fucking half and half scarfers.

Just back. What a load of s****. These scarves were f***ing everywhere! Standing outside before, there was always at least one person walking by wearing one. Perfect for your football tourists which Manchester welcomes with such love. Half and half scarves are the most nauseating thing about modern English football. I'm a peace loving, Guardian reading, Labour voting woolly socialist non-violent kind of chap, but I'd gladly support any government which promised to take these people out somewhere quiet in the country side and bury them in a large pit.

I am not hugely keen on it. I've spent a fair amount of time on the riviera and Nice is one of the least nice bits, IMO. Still, better than Hull, obv. If extraneous factors are the most important thing in your football career, which, of course, I'd never suggest about HBA

The second half of your sentence is totally explained by the first, mind. Like you said. Imagine what must be going through someone's mind to push them to the edge of suicide, or indeed to actually do it.

I can't listen to him these days without remembering that WC match where the goal line technology showed no goal, and then goal (or whichever way around it was), and the thick fucking twat didn't understand that it was judging TWO decisions, two occurences of the ball almost crossing the line. OMG! IT HAS CHANGED ITS MIND!!!! Then he made it even worse by still not getting it and shouting BUT WHAT IF IT HAPPENED IN THE FINAL? it was the most embarassing bit of commentator fuckwittery I have ever heard. Truly awful. Although the other day I saw a bit of an ITV World Cup recap, and having that much Tyldesley in such a compressed period of time reminded me how he is far and away the absolute worst "commentator" we have. Aye, Keown in that was mint. He sounded like me when I was trying to teach my mam how to use a computer. I'm like that when i have to explain to my dad, for the 600th time, the difference between hard drive storage space and RAM.

I saw a bit of slavering over Vlaar earlier (Irish tv stream I was watching), and how we're going to miss him etc etc. He's a decent player but: 1. Okore and Clark have looked incredibly composed for several matches now. 2. Vlaar is not as good as his WC appearances suggest. He's decent, but not much more. 3. He's one of the most injury prone players in the league. And never "one or two matches" injuries, either, always seven or eight at a time. I read the other day that since we signed him, he's been out injured for over 40% of our games. He's decent, no more. I can't believe that, say, Man United would see him as being a good buy. I'll be much more concerned about Delph. Significantly more.

That Agbonlahor red card was truly astonishing. Barely even a yellow, and it was Young who went in two footed. Awful decision.

Thought we played well today. We are very fragile in confidence - you could see that in the last ten minutes when we fell further and further back, but although far from an amazing performance, that was better than it has been for a while. First goal in front of the Holte End since the first week in April. Only the second time we've scored more than twice this season. A truly record breaking sequence of shitness. Downside, Westwood injured. Upside - Grealish is going to get more chances, sooner. The fans love him, he is one of us, and he's shown so much promise while out on loan. Created two chances within minutes of coming on today, too.

I just saw that, and immediately thought of this place.

4 games unbeaten for Lambert's resurgent Villa amid horrible and personal attacks from unforgiving and unrealistic supporters. I think it's safe to say, we don't know what we've got until it has gone. Well, I can certainly confirm I am looking forward to the day I get to test that theory out.

Our match is hilarious. Palace are absolutely brimming with energy and constantly running at us. We, by comparison, look half asleep, and are unable to keep the ball beyond two passes, we just constantly give it back to them and they run at us again. Fortunately, they have next to no cutting edge, and we had a moment of genius from Benteke. No way is this staying 0-1 though. Not a prayer.

A point, but one won totally artlessly. Okore played quite well, as did Clark, most of the rest of them were fucking rubbish. The club is as moribund as I ever remember it being, and I saw most of the 86-87 relegation season. Still, Lambert's brigade of cheerleaders in the media will continue to talk him up. Fucking hopeless.

Looking to hold on to a win for 15 minutes? Obvious, take midfield physical presence off, and bring on a fat, immobile has-been striker.

Yeah he's been rubbish. Shame how his career has turned out In fairness, he snapped his achilles tendon, which is only a slightly worse injury than having your face kicked off, but he showed hardly anything before that and nothing after.

I wish he'd take N'Zogbia off. Quite clearly does not give one tenth of one single fuck.

Lots of mentions in the media tonight about this being Lambert's 100th game in charge. Not so many of them mentioning the fact he's lost 49 of them so far. Also, some shite on the BBC site about "Villa fans criticising Lambert, you don't know what you've got till you lose it" Fucking hell. That's the Pardew paradox.

We're going to get a spanking this evening. My prediction is that this is rock bottom for us. The crowd will be truly awful, and those fans who are there will turn on Lambert en masse for the first time. Fucking love football, me.

I struggle to imagine winning 6 games in a season, let alone in a row. I appreciate the sort of mental turmoil this puts you lot in, though.

This is genius by the way. Indeed it is.

Ergo any sex with someone who is intoxicated (to any degree) is sex without consent and is therefore by definition rape should that person later decide they would not have made the same decision if sober. That is the logical conclusion of this line of argument, and I'd suggest that if that is the case, then there are hundreds of thousands if not millions of non-convicted rapists (of either sex) walking the streets of Britain today. Some of these rapists will be famous footballers, pop stars, actors, etc, others will be treating you at the doctors or in hospital, and many will even be teaching your children. Frightening. This is the actual stance of the law btw: http://www.cps.gov.uk/legal/p_to_r/rape_and_sexual_offences/consent/ and this would seem to be the most relevant section to this case: It would seem that the jury decided that at the point of getting into the taxi and going back to the hotel the woman was capable of offering consent, but subsequently lost that capacity later in the evening without further consumption of alcohol or drugs. Hang on, though, it wasn't just two people, one of whom was arseholed, having sex, was it? It was sex while his mate took part, too, and two others watched them. That gives a pretty good indication of the "dynamic" of the events.
