Villan69

You have summed up the entire situation accurately in one post. I’ve never been so proud to be a villa fan as I am today. Rising above the opposition, their fans and staff. Jack laughing off what was probably a quite shocking incident at the time in his interview was amazing. ‘Best day of his life’ was a great way to answer.

In midweek at least we had nice football to watch (Brentford..).. This was a dire festering turd of a match. West Brom hardly turned up and cantered to an easy win. Clueless...

Oh definite 8... losing two points for being a blue nose...

Sitting in a bar in Oslo minding my own business spending £12 per 3/4 pint when a happy waitress pops up and tells me she's from Kings Heath and earns £30 per hour waiting... Birmingham fan too....

And who voted managers tactics "very good"??? Tactics? Does lambert know what they even are?

Yes but not much, we are so bad it's not funny. Lambert out ASAP and take Baker with you. Guess we will hear Lambert butcher the English language again in his post match interview ending with "we go again" arghhhhhhhhhh more like 4-1 again! I'm going down the pub to avoid anything football after that..

no, not even slightly. My ambitions for this football club are higher than 'stay one division ahead of birmingham'. Fair enough - it just takes my mind off the pit of despair which is villa park these days

Does Birmingham residing in the bottom 3 cheer anybody up?

I was going to comment and rant a bit. But I really can't be bothered..... ]

Can't argue with him having to buy cheap- benteke, bacuna, vlarr and okore look very sound buys for peanuts by modern standards. I'm struggling with how he seems to be unable to motivate or develop players like weimann, Lawton, baker Clark etc. they should really be stepping up to the plate now. Is that lambert and his coaching staff or are they not really up to it? If not they should be moved on. If lambert buys a creative and a combative midfield combo in the window then i will be a lot happier.

I'm not wasting my time either, but you aren't right If you think I'm happy with things as they are then you really haven't understood what I've said. This is the only point I'm trying to get across here: Things are crap, but we have by far the best manager we could possibly attract on this tiny budget. We should get behind him, because if he goes I seriously shudder at the many, many possible worse options we might end up with. Just remember what he did for Norwich - he hasn't turned into a bad manager overnight. I'm also shuddering at who would be next if Lambert went.. Big Sam? I may have lost faith in our ability to play good football but watching our players playing long ball tactics and kicking lumps out of other teams hardly seems better than what we have now. We should give Lambert one more season to see if he can get our young players playing consistently. If not then he has to go. At least he won't have spent much when he does as he always buys cheap...

Most of the players were crap but andi weimann was pathetic. I know he runs round like a demented banshee but he's not producing anything. He should have been subbed and Albrighton bought on to replace him. Does lambert see the same game as us?

Shocking display of ineptitude by every player except westwood & guzan. Benteke should be dropped but won't be.. Long balls rule under lambert and why can't we even keep possession from a throw in?!! I can't remember when we looked this bad. Depressed.

did you ast Thompson was PRAISING a Villa player?!!!!

Excellent day all round - first time I've made an effort to watch a Blues game - enjoyed it loads. Beating the scousers was just the icing on the cake. Now looking forward to the new season. After some serious drinking tonight of course
