Betting not suspended.They were just updating odds. Garde 7/2

And you moan about fantasy 'personal attacks'. The irony....

So you quoting peoples comments and calling it 'hyperbole' and ridiculous and 'over the top' is not a pop at those posters? Anyone that challenges you becomes a 'Personal attack'. Will probably get warning points or banned, but i dont care. Double standards.

Why, cause they dont agree with your love-in with Westwood. He is shit, Alot of your comments are 'hyperbole' and 'ridiculous', but we dont feel the need to tell you this as this is your opinion to which you are entitled. Get over yourself

Im sure this softened the blow at the time : http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/aston-villa-what-paul-lamberts-8827283 Also, he could of walked away anytime, but chose to keep holding out for his payoff. Saw an interview the other day, and when he said 'We were excellent', it sent a shiver down my spine

With Sherwoods squad...

I don't really think anyone could improve this crock of shit. It's all ifs and buts. If Veretouts shot had gone in against Sunderland, the confidence would have grown and i think we would have won that match. Confidence is a huge issue. Im willing to give Garde time. The only manager with the bollocks to finally get rid rid of Gabby, showing players like Grealish he wont stand for unprofessionalism. Yes, he is probably a bit of a slow burner, but i think he will come good in the end with his own signings and philosophy, even if it means we go down. Some posters slating him, yet he has not yet even bought in his own players in the window. How many windows did Lambert have and some were still backing him to the hilt at the end, embarassing.

Bloody ell, Sags is so far up Collymore's arse it's unbeleivable. Im getting sick of all these pundits and ex players saying Sherwood had no time and it's down to Paddy Reilly and the Board etc.. If Sherwood had started with Gil every game, put Clarke at the back when fit and played the right formations we would probably mid table by now. If Sherwood had not made those stupid subs against Leicester, we would have won and would have probably gone into the West Brom game full of confidence and won that game too. But no, not one of the pundits have mentioned his dire tactics and saying he did not have his say on transfers. Sherwood says he wanted Lennon - wanted to go to Everton anyway Sherwood says he wanted Townsend - Said he wanted to fight for his place at Spurs Sherwood said he wanted Cleverley - we all knew he was going to Everton So i dont buy all this stuff about his experienced players. Ok, we only had this 5m net spend, but we were all excited by most of these signings and i still think we have a good side there with the right management.

What does Lambert have to do with any of anything, out of interest? Don't understand why his name is repeatedly dragged up. He was sacked months ago! Because you and a few others repeatedly told us week after week to stick with Lambert after utter dross performances and when Lambert was criticised for the way he came across in interviews, we were told by the same few posters 'Why are people bothered so much by his interviews, they mean nothing'. Now the rules seem to have changed probably because they did not want Sherwood. These same posters are slating Sherwood for his interviews and not giving him a fair crack of the whip where Lambert would have been given another 2 years grace in the Championship. People are saying what a performance from Ayew last night. Does Sherwood not get the credit for improving him in training?

The **** gives a **** about net spend? Get over it. And while I'm on it, can anyone explain how in the Lerner thread the owner is slated for a very minimal net spend, yet in other threads the same people slate Sherwood for having spent a lot and got so little ? The **** gives a **** about net spend? Get over it. Try reading my post !! I haven't said I care about it. I've said OTHER people say we've hardly spent ( net spend) when complaining about Lerner, yet say Sherwood HAS spent a lot ( gross spend) when they want to complain about Sherwood. Jeeeez. Totally agree Terrytini. Funny how net spend mattered so much when Lambert was in charge, but anything to suit their own argument.

Give a shit. We played poorly - especially first half. I'm not suddenly wanking off over Sherwood because we beat a Championship side 1-0 in a scrappy and, quite frankly, shit game. This is what i don't get and find embarrassing. The same group of posters that told us week after week to stick with Lambert for over 2 years after pathetic performances, and kept saying 'Why do people focus so much on Lamberts interviews so much, who cares' are the ones who are prepared to give Sherwood no time and slate him for his interviews?? If that was Lamberts team that lost to Leicester, the excuse would have been 'Do you not realise this is a Leicester team that are on a great winning run, I'll stick with him'. Bizarre. Yes, Sherwood has made mistakes. We are 6 games into the season, yes 6. We have just beaten the scum, had some great positives with Ayew and Veretout in the second half and Gestede scored. I'm prepared to give Sherwood as much time as we gave Lambert as I think we will have a great team by Christmas.

So the picture was true. Just shown him on SSN leaving the same building after his medical.

I wouldn't say he was Christ, top manager though.

Agree mate. In one breath some say players are overpaid prima donnas, in the next they say don't have a go at them, they will turn against the boss. Funny the playes never turned against Alex Ferguson isn't it. I suppose it's the weak society of today.

Great call on Talksport just now. Guy said 'Mesut Ozil cost more than Villa's whole team. In February i thought we were going down. He has got us playing attacking football and you won't get many 0-0 draws but im willing to stick with him' Totally agree, beats Sideways, Sideways, Backwards football every time.

Not sure how it's one eyed. People have said he has made some mistakes with team selections, tactics and things so far. But some fans saying they are not looking forward to the new season, and we should get a new manager in now is unbelievable. This is the dour scottish man's team, not Sherwoods. You say the latest trend is worrying. Southampton : freak result Burnley : Players did not want to get injured Arsenal : Just one of their players is probably worth the whole of our team If fans want to be fickle, thats up to them, but i have seen enough in those games we won that Sherwood deserves a couple of seasons to build something, just like so many fans that kept saying give Lambert time, he will be special

I find it utterly bizarre thats some fans that were prepared to give Lambert all the time in the world are slating Sherwood in his short tenure. Yes, Sherwood has made some mistakes with team selections, tactics and things so far. But this is Lamberts team, not Sherwoods. Give him a transfer window and build his own team. If we are near the bottom again at Christmas, yes, i will be not too happy. My faith and excitement in Villa has returned. The Liverpool semi-final shows us all how well Sherwood can motivate a team. Why judge him on the Southampton game onwards?? I love his honest and direct attitude, telling it like it is, instead of 'We were excellent' every week.

And the sensationalism begins....

People can say what they want about Sherwood, but i tell you something, he has given me more pleasure in the short space of time he has been here than Lambert ever did (ohhh matron!) and got me excited about watching Villa again. I think Southampton was just a freak result. Cant understand why alot of people were going over the top about the Burnley result. Obviously players didnt want to get injured for the final. Yes, i was disappointed Saturday, but i knew it was going to be alot harder than Liverpool, Arsenal are diiferent class to them and compare the amount spent on our squad and theirs. It's a totally different league. Personally im looking forward to next season and Sherwood's first transfer signings. If Lambert was here, we would now be in the Championship and higly doubt we would have made the FA Cup Final under him. So, thanks Tim for keeping us up which is what his remit was and getting us to a final.

There's a multi storey I was going to use sat nav SR1 3AH Cheers for that mate. Just checked online, looks the best place to park, not too far to walk either.

Thanks mate.

Anyone been to Sunderland before and know the best places to park? Thinking of getting a ticket but going by car.

Completely agree that we should have been 3 up, we weren't though were we? Completely agree we deserved to win it, doesn't really work like that a lot of the time though does it? I think it's no coincidence we got a bit of luck when we had worked so hard as a group past 90 minutes to try and get a break, it's no coincidence that seeing we had 8 shots on target in a game for the first time since last May that we createdd enough to win a game. Fact is though, till generous old Ben's brain completely melted we would have been feeling super bitter because all the above would still have been true but we'd only have a point to show for it. We dominated the game and deserved to win. Dont care how we won it in the end. Cheer up ffs I'm ecstatic, we smashed them in possession, shots, shots on target, tempo, quality of football everything. Doesn't mean we weren't lucky too, that's my only point. We have had no luck all season. We get a bit of luck, some fans analyse and keep banging on about it. We won, i dont care how we won it.
