  1. To be fair, all players have off days. Worth noting that he has scored all of there goals this season. Before we laugh to much though, 15m for Fletcher is looking a better deal than the 18-24m weve paid for a player to sit on our bench.
  2. this has been my take on the season. The people writing us off because of our form, fail to take into account the teams around us. We dont need to become an amazing world beating team over night. We just need to be better than 3 of QPR, Southampton, Norwich, Wigan, Reading and quite possibly Stoke, Sunderland and Swansea.
  3. hes changed a bit, he no longer has a team regularly challenging for europe.
  4. Ive very little doubt in my mind that we are among the premier leagues bottom 6 clubs. What I havent decided yet is whether we are bottom 3 or not. I look at our squad and think it is one of the worst i've seen as a villa fan. I havent see the hunger that others talk about in our players (just the youth). I support Lambert but I dont trust him (you earn that), I believe Randy would let him take us down. I dont think Darren Bent will be with us (or wants to be with us) after January.
  5. No problem with the trial, its not for me but i dont see why people expect it to herald the return of cheaper seats. Who is likely to take the standing areas? current holte enders. Will it attract more fans? i dont think so. By charging cheaper ticket prices, the club earns less. If this was something they were prepared to do, theyd do it now. For me its simply another PR exercise.
  6. Do you think Lambert will want more money for transfers and would you trust him with it. He made 8 transfers across pretty much every position? Arguably some of his signings are the ones that need replacing, strengthening.
  7. Investment in January is unlikely to change things. Lambert made 8 signings in the summer. He bought players in for nearly every position. He chose youth over experience. I don't see how more of the same will make us any better. We either need to accept his squad and his methods or start wanting him out.
  8. I was genuinely surprised when that nestled. I fully expected him to miss it. Get in.
  9. Misfiring? have you levelled that claim at the right striker.
  10. Perhaps not popular but why not consider a recall for Hutton. His for was poor last season but he hadn't caused trouble that I'm aware of, we're desperate for experienced defenders and others who've done worse are given more chances.
  11. There is a reason no one plays 3 at the back anymore, we would get murdered. Nobody is keeping clean sheets in the prem anymore. We need to concentrate more on scoring goals, for me that means deciding quickly how we can get something out of bent.
  12. But have you looked at Bents goal record. Up there with Rooney over the last 5 years. Consistently hitting 1 every 2 games across a number of clubs. He may take a few chances but constantly gets himself into position for another. Benteke may do more for the team but right now we are desperately short of goals and were choosing to not play to the strengths of a man who has consistently scored in the prem.
  13. The football is undoubtedly better, unfortunately we have become an easy team to beat. Last season we were difficult to beat for long periods, drawing lots of games. No we gift a couple of chances a game and dont take ours.
  14. Wouldnt go near him, for me at the moment our problem is Lamberts introduction of to many new players, a new system and a lack of experience. Despite how early we are in the season, I dont think we can afford to be blooding anyone else.
  15. at what point are we allowed to be concerned about relegation without people saying your over reacting and its to early. We cant score goals.
  16. A one month rolling contract it is impossible to get out of. Id rather scratch my own eyes out than sign another contract with Three
  17. would imagine its roughly the same. Money in football will always drip down to the players.
  18. completely agree, one of my favourite grounds. Only things missing are the atmosphere in the ground and an away win. Were terrible there.
  19. i need a new phone, ive had my htc desire hd for to long and the microphone has pretty much given up. Im only interested in another android phone and will buy it outright. do i get the S3 or is there anything better in the pipeline. I could probably hang on for one more month tops. Thoughts please?
  20. Having spent some time in Scotland recently I've picked up a large concern by many around allowing 16 year old to vote. You are now starting to see small changes in the school system that are very pro Scotland. Things like Scottish children can now only be examined on Scottish authors when sitting gcse English, many examples like this see a very pro Scotland push to young school age children. It almost feels a little 1930s Germany.
  21. im struggling to see the point in it? please explain
  22. Unfortunately I'm not sure he'll stick around as long as moyes has.
