Does beg the question why and how they got that rule approved. Maybe because all the other teams have such shit grounds they end up postponing half of their january fixtures Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why the fuck is this a thing? Only one of their own, or can they fuck with other fixtures as well? That would be awesome. Only one of their own, but I like that idea Especially if they could wait until just before kick off, when someone had travelled to Aberdeen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Unbelievably, someone in the press cottoning on to the weirdness of Lambert. From the Graun Quote Lambert risks the wrath of a forgiving Villa faithful The discrepancy between Paul Lambert’s press conference assessment and the FA Cup tie witnessed at Villa Park yesterday left the attendant media somewhat bemused. The Holte End had just turned on the Aston Villa manager for the first time in his tenure, three minutes before Christian Benteke’s winning goal broke Blackpool’s resistance. Lambert said he found their vehemence “strange”. With 12 goals from 22 games this season, and three wins from the last 17, it is stranger that Villa fans have remained supportive of Lambert. In these days of short-term reigns and so little loyalty, strange but laudable. It is as if, with Randy Lerner hitting stony ground thus far in his attempt to sell up, the Villa crowd have become accustomed to mediocrity. After the relatively heady days of three successive top-six finishes and two Wembley visits under Martin O’Neill, Villa fans never bought into Gérard Houllier. They positively howled at the moon until delivered with Alex McLeish’s head on a plate. Yet after finishing 15th in the Premier League in each of the past two seasons, with one run to the semi-finals of the Capital One Cup (where they lost to Bradford City from League Two), and now facing a third successive campaign endeavouring to keep their heads above the relegation parapet, Lambert has received very little grief from the crowd. Benteke was a superb signing, even if he has flattered to deceive in the past 18 months, and the likes of Ashley Westwood and Fabian Delph have developed into good Premier League midfield players. The players work hard for him and are now trying to adapt to a preferred passing game, but still lack touch and movement. Lambert is deluded if he thinks maintaining harmless possession in recent games against Sunderland, Crystal Palace and Blackpool equals progress. Lambert has been fortunate to avoid too much criticism thus far. But if he continues to praise Villa’s performances every week, not distinguishing between the good and the bad games, then he risks alienating supporters further. In these dour, difficult days for Villa he needs to keep a forgiving fan base onside. Peter Lansley Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he spends more than peanuts on a player, he can spot a good one. Vlaar was good for 4m, Benteke, obviously, a superb signing. Even Kozak, before he got injured weighed in with a decent goal ratio, and Carlos Sanchez is looking more and more like a very good signing. That's all good. What isn't all good is the coaching side of things, where he's just all over the place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
