i Reckon Lamberts on a massive bonus structute if he keeps us in the PL. i reckon his basic pay dwarfs what he was getting at Naaaaarwich and the bonus will be a seven figure sum. thats why he left Naaaaarwich for what is obviously a worse job at present but one day could be a great job if he is able to restructure the playing staff and keep us in the league. Simple. ....... only problem is...... HES NO GOOD AND THE PLAYERS DONT LIKE HIM

In all seriousness im predicting a heavy ass pounding. I dont see us scoring at all, if we keep it 0-0 until half time Southampton may only nick it 0-1 but if they get a goal before the interval i would imagine it cuold easily mirror the score that happened at St Marys. I'm going to be positive as im having a nice day. 3-0 to Southampton.

Hmmm - i think if we get beaten 3-1 by a league 2 side it counts as a 'panning'. I wouldnt say we domintaed large parts of the game either. We had some reasonable spells of posession, but certainly no more than would be expected against a league 2 side. I dont think their first goal was a lucky defelction either - their striker stayed alert to an opportunity in the box and he finished it well. And whilst im moaning CNZ really annoys me - he is like a peacock - all show and no end product, he takes on 3/4 players and then shoots high, wide and handsome!

It appears that the £7,500 stat is true, Phil McNulty quotes it on his BBC blog this morning. It really is disgarceful that we got panned by them last night....

I note what you say about Gabby - he kept laughing all the time, it leaves a sour taste in the mouth i have to say. Just in relation to your point on Benteke not defending - i hear what you say - but surley our defenders should be defending - not our striker. i think our defensive coaching has a lot answer for, we are constantly at sixes and sevens.

I hope Lambert kept his receipt for Bennettt and can get a refund - he is really, really, rrreeeaaallllyyyy rubbish. I dont know where to start really. At the top we have an owner who has no experience of running a football club, the only experience he has, is of inheriting an NFL team who, if relegation was a possibility in the NFL, would have been relegated almost every season he oversaw things. That lack of experience is now really beginning to tell - infact it has been since the MON debacle. We have a chief executive, who looks like the Pillsbury Dough boy, and again has no experience of running a football club - I understand that he was a marketing executive for Nike before joining us – alarm bells are ringing! There is no joined up football strategy – the managers we have appointed since RL took over have had nothing in common in terms of footballing philosophy. To move from MON to GH to AM to PL shows that there is crazy lack of joined up thinking. Look at Swansea and how they have kept to a particular brand of manger Martinez, Sousa, Rodgers, Laudrup. The current manager looks clueless – he looks lost on the side-lines, I want to get behind him but ive lost patince now. I think the way we set up last night was bizarre. I’ve seen some people on her slating the ‘midfield’ but as far as I could see watching it on TV it seems as if we played a 4-2-3-1 system i.e. NO MIDFIELD – it was just Bannan & Delph – there was no link up with the front four. That’s a tactical decision taken by Paul Lambert – not the players. And finally the players….. well I’m afraid they’re just not good enough, I feel bad for slating them because many of them are so young. And I hate criticising the academy graduates because you can tell they want to succeed at Villa so much, Weimann in particular. But they’re so poor, we have no quality at all, there just….. not good enough. I feel as if it’s not their fault because they have been thrust in to the Lion’s den. We have replaced top professionals - players like Barry, Young, Downing, Laursen, Milner, Mellberg, Carew etc. with players of championship standard and below. Oh yeah and as I’ve kept it clean so far….. **** YOU VILLA !

Magaluf Ibiza hoping to go to Kavos this summer

bratislava is ok. once you get out of the city centre its scary as **** though. sausage fest also but lets be honest where isnt. vegas anyone?

i think this will be a thorough, unrelenting ass pounding. 3-1 to the trcator boys. McArthy has got them working their socks off ATM

Vlaar isnt bad but i cant understand why he gets so many plaudits on here. Hes decent. thats about it. certainly no Mgrath, Melberg, Laursen etc.

Its laughable that some people actually think Lescott will sign for us - even on loan. If he does i will shave my nads and walk around with the hair selotaped to my forehead for a whole day.

probabaly somewhere between the two figures you mention represents current Market Value.... would be a great buy for someone with wing men....

Paul Lambert just spotted at Goals in Aston at under16s Tourno....

We Should go for Graham Dorrans. If all else fails at least Bannan would have a boozing partner. Also - Victor Wanyama from Celtic - thats the sort of monster we need.
