Luckily for you, their chairman looks like exactly the sort of overly flash, out of touch with reality, wide boy Sarf Landan boy made good Palace specialise in as owner - just the sort of person to offer Pardew stupid money. http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/67603000/jpg/_67603344_steveparishshadesgetty.jpg

We were abysmal, but Sunderland were even worse.

didn't he get a new contract based on the first 3 games or so? At least Ashley had the 5th place as a good reason for Pardews daft contract Four games. Four year contract. Just amazing. Absolutely world class shit football club handling from dimwit Lerner. its impressive how quick he went from one of the better owners to seemingly not giving a shit Pretty much overnight. That's the really disappointing thing. Actually, the not giving a shit bit would be more acceptable if it didn't come with abysmal decisions. I can't believe anyone ever really thought appointing Alex McLeish would work out. I mean, really .....

I just hope the internet is able to withstand the extra load placed on it by the immense gif-a-thon which is going to break out on here.

Villa have scored 11 goals in 19 games. That's half a season. Then on top of that, you can add the league cup defeat at home to Orient, in which we also failed to score. Still, he's doing a great job, Lambert.

requires compensation therefore won't happen You're assuming Lerner would have the brains to think of adding something like that to a contract.

Because of the utterly fucking ridiculous "look at my sad face, I scored but I used to play for them so I'll pretend to be sad" routine from Song. I hate that "respect for former club" nonsense.

You lucky, lucky bastards. Is Ashley a fan of Lambert, does anyone know? I hope he has noticed his happiness to spend buttons in the transfer market and ability to deliver the absolute bare minimum required, and will see that these things make him well qualified for the job.

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.
