  1. Its been posted (can't remember which thread) before but still a good read.
  2. From what I've seen I like it. I haven't bought a short for years but might get one for my son.
  3. Interesting tweet from James Nursey in relation to PL's approach: 1st impressions of Lambert at *AVFC v favourable. Positive, enthusiastic, smiling & cracking jokes. Suggests modifying media style. I didn't see it but suggests that for Lambert this was engaging.
  4. Fully agree. Just think he's an easy target for some.
  5. I think... Sack AM Appoint PL Provide him with a decent kitty
  6. Don't know about the Sun but Peter Laneley, The Times has tweeted about it. Can't short link from my phone, sorry
  7. Is the speculation just based on twitter rumours or is there something more to it than that? Sky Sports News reporting we will make an approach in the next 24 hours. I'm not saying it won't happen but are we supposed to think that Villa are leaking this to the press? Just doesn't strike me as the way we've done things to date.

  9. Everything I've read indicated that Wigan fans would be gutted to see RM leave but realise that its a huge possibility.
  10. Started with 8 straight defeats? Wigan 1-1 Norwich Sat 13 Aug Swansea 0-0 Wigan Sat 20 Aug Wigan 2-0 QPR Sat 27 Aug They did then go on to lose 8 in a row but had to play Spurs, Everton, Man City and Newcastle in that period. I'm not defending the stat, just saying the way you laid it out was misleading.
  11. Not sure anyone advocating Martinez is pretending the stats aren't damning but at the end of the season Wigan finished above Villa with far less resources than ourselves. That's why many, myself included, would be willing to give Roberto a try. Lambert would be a more obvious choice, probably more successful in the short-term at least. However I really feel we need a completely new approach at Villa and Roberto might just be the man to implement it. Worth a gamble imho.
  12. Thought that the PC rumour had been denied. Certainly that was the case yesterday. Wanted Martinez last year and still do.
  13. I could definitely support that - sounds a potentially good combination.
  14. I'd like Rijkaard. I think we'll get Martinez or Poyet.
  15. I am not able to upload the clip. What lyrics? Is is A-ha and hunting high and low? Take on Me and Mantis noted the lyrics I was referring to.
  16. See Mat Kendricks last tweet. Think of the lyrics. Draw your own conclusions.
  17. I'm 90% sure Houllier had the pc then continued to work for France.
  18. Ole for me. Lambert is certainly not a bad choice but I think the goodwill that seems to be behind OGS is crucial at at a time when the whole club needs to pull together. Ole Martinez Lambert Would be my order of preference.
  19. That is crazy. He's riding a huge popularity wave by the looks of it though and that really would make a huge difference.
  20. Absolutely. Wrong choice but fair play for the statement and I actually hope he goes on to be a success somewhere else.
  21. The more I think about Solskjaer the more I think - yeah, why not. Brilliant record as a player should command respect. Managed the MU reserves for 4 years before going to Norway and winning Molde their first league. Supervises a kids academy in his home town. (yes, obv. I'm getting this from Wikipedia) But the point is - has done a lot with academy kids. I'm sure this is key to RL's thinking.
  22. AVB (unlikely but you live in hope) van Gaal (ditto) Martinez Rodgers Lambert There are others but I'd be chuffed with anyone from that five.
