brummie Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Brummie, do you hate Lambert as much as you think we hated Pardew? Obviously I don't listen to Lambert's interviews a lot, but I can't imagine him being anywhere near as hateful and a cunt as Pardew is. Pardew being a fucking crap manager was one thing, but the way he conducted himself with his lies, arrogance and obvious bullshit is why I think most of us have such a passionate hate for him. Lambert is doing his best to be the worst manager in the league (stiff competition from Bruce and Pardew there though), but I just feel like he's woefully out of his depth and not hateable in the same way Pardew is. 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I remember in the Championship Norwich were renowned for scoring late injury time goals To be fair to him, he's also getting known at Villa for scoring late goals. Except they're coming weeks too late. *badumtish* Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 It's amazing that there is a very high chance of them staying up scoring 20 league goals all season (if it improves) 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikenewcastle Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I was surprised he even bothered getting them out the Championship. Hopefully he'll retire and thick people won't say he should get the England job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest reefatoon Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 As long as the melted faced bastard is not being lined up to come here. No problem with a gammy knee, Carver would just get on all four's and let him rest his leg on him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

afar Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 That's a strange time to resign. Wonder is there was some falling out about the transfer window, sounded like the owner said he spent enough in the summer and it was up to the coaching staff to coach and motivate the team. Probably didn't go down well with Redknapp and he probably wanted another player or two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Has to be Sherwood you'd think. Garde in. No doubt with the connections Sir Les has there Sherwood will be in the running.maybe Hoddle fancies it though. Good for the club though, always liked QPR until the Fernandes era.

Kanj Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 To Harry: thanks for stealing Loic from us, then wasting about with him, then loaning him to us, then being a cunt, and then basically us losing Loic for good.

brummie Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 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") Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
