  1. Sink or swim time for Lambert now these two have been, rightly or wrongly, scapegoated for the poor form/attitudes at Villa. Lambert has come out of it relatively unscathed, seen as the guy cleaning up the problem rather than causing it. But why was this culture allowed to develop under Lamberts reign at all? He should have been managing these two, not letting them run riot. ...and given this is Aston Villa I'd wager my house that these two will receive a fat pay off, no matter how heinous their actions turn out to be.
  2. The parallels with the last days of Eck are palpable. Sacked after the last game of the season after scraping safety?
  3. Lambert is rapidly playing himself out of a job. Dire dire performance.
  4. Agreed. I think so long as everone is fit, the villa team more or less picks itself (the vs. Chelsea team but with Betrand) with the exception of whether Baker or Clark plays along side Vlaar. These are clearly our best players and we don't really have any depth to pick and change.
  5. No quotes, not even an 'anonymous source'. File this under stuff the tabloids have just made up to fill pages on a slow news day. You can literally follow the warped tabloid BS logic to it: "Hmmm Randy Lerner hasnt invested much in Villa lately....HEADLINE: LERNER LOOKING TO SELL VILLA!" "Hmmm well the club have put a statement out totally rejecting that theory....HEADLINE: LERNER BROKE AND LOOKING FOR FUNDS!"
  6. The fact that this is a typical response shows how Lerner completely lacks any public presence to the fans of the club. Even the cheif exec knows this which is why he has to constantly remind us that, yes, our owner does in fact still exist. Hope more stories like this emerge until Lerner has to actually show some kind of public presence.
  7. Reminded me of the Swansea game, you CANNOT concede that much possession and expect to get anything from the game. "Defend like Hell for 90 minutes is not a game plan that works, keeping the ball away from the opposition is the best form of defence.
  8. Surely thats that then. Can't imagine Hughton refusing to deny he was leaving unless he was nailed on to go. It will happen on the final day of the window when the brinkmanship has run its course and a fee is agreed.
  9. N'Zogbia has pretty much never looked consistantly any good in a Villa shirt?
  10. How in gods name has this team beaten arsenal and Man city this season? What in the actually f**k
  11. This windows Sylla? Prove the non-believers wrong Libor!
  12. Still can't believe the lad still hasnt scored a goal for us, hope he bags one soon.
  13. I hope Sylla is fit for this one as we will need some serious steel in midfield.
  14. Firstly he needs to produce a solid defensive unit to complement the pretty great attacking line up he has assembled. If Lambo can manage that, we will have a special team on our hands, and he might deserve to get mentioned with the great AV managers.
  15. Great result, OK performance. Passing was a bit spotty today and as a result we lost ALOT of comfortable possession and only managed about 35% of the possession, which isn't great. Having said that i'm certain we will improve and if we can score 3 on the off days we will smash a top ten place. Guzan is invaluable as always, seems like most our wins are helped by a blinding save from the big man. Nitpicking really, c'mon the villa!
  16. As a result of a series of clerical errors, Stephen Ireland will likely remain on the books for another 8 years at least.
  17. Exacly, what a statement of intent say... 4/5 points from these 3 games would be.
  18. Great news! Class goalie and some much needed seniority in our starting lineup.
  19. Hmmm I hope we steer well clear, have we learned nothing from the poor attitudes of Jean II Makoun, Stephen Ireland etc.
  20. Not even worth discussing. It's an entirely theoretical idea- of course we would like him back but Barry will not take a ~60k a week pay cut to come here when Stoke or West Ham will offer him ~75% of his existing wage to go there. They are welcome to him as he is not worth those wages, especially 3 years down the line when he has less impact and no resale value.
