Savage gets himself all in a tizz trying to work out what to say to piss Villa fans off the most, the gigantic cunt.

No. Relegation is too much. We are at home to Leicester in the cup this weekend. I'd gladly get facefucked by them in that match if it meant getting shot. It is all immaterial anyway. He's going absolutely nowhere.

No chance. Untouchable. Even if we go down. To think, tonight was the first time the fans have *really* turned on him. Here's his record since September 20th: LLLLLLDDDWWLDLDDLLLLL (P21 W2 D6 L13; 8 goals for, 33 against). Staggering that he's still here. So at which point was the improved contract offered? Brummie can correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure it was after four games this season which went WDWW including a 0-0 draw against us. Even then, Villa only scored four goals in those matches 1-0-2-1 Yes, it was after four league games. We'd taken 10 points from 12, yes, but even then there were warning signs. As you said, we hardly scored, we played you at home and didn't have a shot on target, and we got knocked out of the League Cup to Leyton Orient (a game in which we failed to score). On the back of that, new four year contract. I can not believe what has become of Lerner. Four years of being very good, followed by 4, approaching 5 years of making Ashley look good. Honestly, I just can't believe it. It's utterly bizarre, like. Even more bizarre than Pardew hanging on for so long imo, as difficult as that is to comprehend. 12 league goals in 25 goals all season, man. He has spent most of this season doing a Pardewian thing of saying things which blatantly are not true. We'll get beaten by Palace and he'll say "I thought were were excellent", which he says after every match. Then he shrugs off defeats with "we pick ourselves up and go again". He basically has a little soundbite for every situation. Apparently at the match tonight our fans were putting them to song, singing "We pick ourselves up, we go again" to the Tom Hark tune, "I thought we were excellent" and "I can't fault the effort from the lads" (to the "what the fuck is going on?" tune). Sometimes I hate football managers. fair few managers guilty of that, Rodgers and Martinez more than most Thing is, it's difficult to say it and keep a straight face when you say it week after week, when you've just notched up your fifth consecutive defeat. If Lambert is still here come the weekend, I tell you this, sell everything you own and put it on us to go down. In fact, I'd be tempted to say put it on us finishing bottom.

That was utterly amazing. The best proof ever that you can have 70% possession all fucking night long but if you don't create chances, it's a waste of time. Last chance to pull the trigger on this bloke now.

He's been really impressive thus far. Scored a belter against Bournemouth in the FA Cup.

Still absolutely buzzing after us scoring on Saturday. So rare. These fans with their helpful arrows clearly had an impact http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2015/02/07/256DFE1100000578-0-image-a-10_1423325203391.jpg

Tell you what, if we could get rid of Lambert tomorrow, I would walk to Derby and carry McClaren to Villa Park. And I live 40 miles south of Villa Park to start with.

I used to like him, but in this second coming period, he's just become too fucking tedious for words. I can't wait to see the smug cunt's face when we absolutely smash them to fuck tomorrow at our place.

In all that television rights thing, with them flogging off packages of matches to ensure more than one broadcaster, how many nanoseconds do we think Scudamore and the other cunts devoted to thinking about the fans having to fork out for more than one subscription? My guess is zero. What football in this country needs is some sort of Year Zero situation to roll all this shit back. I'll give you all advance warning, if I ever find myself heading up a coup and leading this country, I will be putting in effect an extensive programme of nationalisation, and football will be coming first.

One of the true managerial greats. 33 years in the job, won one trophy, get three different clubs relegated and managed to bankrupt two of them. Now he has gone, what will SSN do with that particularly crack-licking reporter of theirs - the one with the face that looks like he's just suffered a severe head trauma - that gets sent wherever "Arry" is on deadline day, in a desperate attempt to create some sort of "Aw, 'Arry, you're sach a card!" bonhomie?

Hooray no more SSN twats going on about "Harry" under the strange illusion we all call him that and think he's a loveable character (see also the BBC's nauseating belief that people really actually think Robbie Savage is a "character" rather than just a "cunt")

We can defend. Despite the evidence of Sunday, we really can defend quite well. I think we had the third best goals against figure till Sunday. If anything saves us, it will be that. How is Okore doing for you guys? Haven't really seen any of your games, but as a Dane I'm interested in his development. How is his level after the injury? He's been great And that's the thing. Lambert has bought some duds, but to be fair, they've all been really cheap duds. If he spends 4-5m plus, he does well. Okore, Sanchez, Benteke, Kozak, Gil by the looks of it, Vlaar. You can't knock those signings. The problem is he then totally fails to get the best out of them.

To be fair to him, he's also getting known at Villa for scoring late goals. Except they're coming weeks too late. *badumtish*

I don't hate him as a person. To be fair to him, he strikes me as a bloke who understands the club, understands the expectations (even the new, mega low ones) and understands why people get annoyed However, I have to say, the amount of patience he has had is truly staggering. The only bad stuff he gets on match day is occasional end of half booing. Sometimes he'll take Cleverley off and get sarcastic applause, but that is honestly all that he has had. On match day, people aren't getting on his back. Contrary to what the press said at the time, this is exactly what McLeish got, too, although in his case it was the first season. In the McLeish year, we had an awful match against Bolton at home where the crowd turned on him, but that was at the end of April. Lambert has got away with it into the third season. So, no, he isn't hated. He is just regarded as absolutely incompetent. In fact, I would say the word most Villa fans would use for him is "chancer". After matches, he'll say we're excellent despite massive evidence to the contrary. For 2 years plus when we'd regularly have abouy 35% possession, he'd always say "I don't believe in stats". In the last couple of months where we are often having more possession than the opposition, we'll lose and he'll point out that we had more possession. He basically comes across as saying whatever he has to say to keep himself in a job. We now have three consecutive home games. I have a feeling we'll win none of them. Come the third, I think the crowd will turn. With us, it tends to be that we are slow to turn on managers, but when we do, we all turn at the same time. I think he has his "Bolton moment" coming soon.

We can defend. Despite the evidence of Sunday, we really can defend quite well. I think we had the third best goals against figure till Sunday. If anything saves us, it will be that.

I didn't see it, no. One side effect of us being so bad is that I never, ever want to watch MOTD these days. See also any other football stuff beyond our actual matches. It is just too depressing. Our problem is that, up until about 2 months ago, Lambert only understood the concept of counter attacking. There's nothing wrong with the counter attack, but there are two things which you need to be careful about. One is that, it only works if you are good at it. Every time I hear a lazy pundit talking about us counter attacking and then talking about the pace, it makes me want to vomit. We aren't any good at counter attacking. We don't have lots of pace up front. Benteke and Weimann aren't pacy, FFS. Under MON with better players, we were better at it, but not now. The other is that there is a thin line between counter attacking and just sitting back and lumping it hopefully long. That's what we'd end up doing if the opposition weren't nice enough to play into our hands. Then, about 3 months ago, he hit on the idea of actually trying to keep the ball. Something fans had been begging him to do for fucking ages. And lo and behold, we are keeping the ball. The problem is we're spending huge amounts of that time passing it around between us in the area of the half way line. He's fucking dim, ultimately. He just can't work out that that alone is not enough. He doesn't, for example, get the concept of players moving off the ball, moving into space. He doesn't seem to have a clue about how to get us creating from this possession. Sanchez (despite his nightmare on Sunday) is technically very good. So is Gil. But they are dragged down by the likes of Cleverley and, to a lesser extent, Westwood just passing the fucking thing sideways all the time. Ultimately, Lambert hasn't got a clue how to make it work. There were 10 minute spells in the match at the Emirates where we had 70% possession. At the Emirates. The problem is, Lambert sees that alone as an improvement, but it isn't, it is as above, just cluelessly passing it between us. He said after Sunday's match, "we will carry on working in training and the goals will come". That scares us all to death. NO THEY WILL NOT FUCKING JUST COME. That's why they haven't just come in the last six games in which we have failed to score a single goal. It isn't going to magically just fix itself, for fuck's sake. The trigger should have been pulled long ago, but Lerner just does not care any more. He's absolutely living in cloud cuckoo land these days. That's the biggest frustration. Not being fucking shit, but the fact that there is no hope of the manager paying the price. None whatsoever. Even if we go down, he'll stay in the job. For four years Lerner was one of the best chairmen around, and then for the next four or five years, he has absolutely been amongst the worst. He used to be just clueless and naive. Now he is clueless, naive and totally unbothered.

Good player. Brummie, how did you think he did for you last year? Totally unremarkable. I don't know if that's more about us dragging him down to our level, though.

Amazing window for us. A massive £2.7m layout, on top of our summer business, makes it a cool £8.9m spent in the last year.

Surely this deal can't be legal? It is a blatant example of Ashley doing something which is purely in the interests of Ashley.
