Too early for a "Lambert Out" thread ?!!!!

Decent lively performance with a bit of a mixed up line-up due to absences ! Ireland was stand-out for most of his time on the pitch - kept it neat and simple and was absolutely everywhere. CNZ looked devastating at times and his pace destroyed the opposition but the minute he approached goal, he seemed to freak out and either pull away or make a dumb pass ..... he needs the confidence to shoot more as he looks good up to the end product. Johnson was lively but gave the ball away too often for me - a little sloppy with his passing. After the break and inevitable subs, Holman looked the business - he'll be a VP hero on this showing with his non-stop running and battling as well as an eye for goal. Fonz looked good but didn't have Premiership marking so was in his element. Really impressed with young Burke (I think thats who it was !), who looked very tricky on the ball. Easy win, plenty of creativity but we need to get the back four settled asap.

Cross Keys is first on left after crossing over railway bridge - big pub but a mile to walk to ground - Boys Head then appears on right but would avoid that as it has a bit of a reputation - the Cherry Tree is then on left just before going under railway bridge and is five minutes from ground so go there. Best car park is on left IMMEDIATELY after passing under railway bridge - you can walk through underpass from that car park right up to the ground.

Just been down to the ticket/box office in Peterborough and they are adamant that you will be able to access the away block seats tonight but you will need to pay cash on the door - plenty of seats, no need to advance book, just pay on the door.

Come down the A605 Oundle Road (you'll be on it if you are coming along A14 anyway and ignore your Sat Navs taking you right across to the A1). The A605 leads right up to the ground and on your left as you get within half a mile of the ground are a couple of pubs advertising a welcome for away fans - they are also close to the car park and ground so ideal.

They must have started work on the true Moys End terraces and have redefined the "away end" as being part of the side stand.

Moys End is actually the away terrace behind the goal (no cameras), London road is the home terrace and will definitely be open !!!

Fair enough I guess !

Shouldn't they have dropped the "at 10am" and replaced it with "at some point when we can be bothered and, in the meantime, we'll plaster the result all over AVTV so that you can't enjoy it even when we do bother to put it up" ?!!!

Well I signed up for a month's AVTV subscription solely on the promise they gave that you'd be able to watch the US Tour games at 10am on the morning after the matches but its 11am now and not only nothing but loads of "spoilers" all over AVTV to give the result away so ...... totally p*ssed off now and I feel like AVTV has conned me into a subscripton !

That can only be seats as the Moys End terraces hold several thousand. They are supposed to be redoing the away end next season but the POSH website suggests it is open to away fans for the Villa game. Never bothered with tickets for this one - just turn up and pay on the day - there will be no problems getting in.

Funds available are £25M + sales and the player wage cap has been lifted ! Deal to be concluded Friday morning and announced wednesday morning next week.

Norwegian paper states Solskjaer will fly to Birmingham for a meeting on Friday so sounds like could be an announcement tomorrow ?

I know its not the thing to say but I really think we will be making a big mistake to get rid of McLeish. His track record shows that he always improves in his second season and, whether you like it or not, he has made us stronger defensively and helped develop some of our younger players too. Get a couple of decent players in this summer and give him a chance to establish his style and I think we can go places. Alternatively ........... ...... get rid of the useless ginger air bandit right now and get the party started !!!

I think you'll find MON told him to bulk up as he wasn't strong enough on the ball. Houllier told him he was overweight and needed to lose weight - Gabby publicly disagreed but Houllier was right. Ash never bulked up and look where his career has gone - Gabby did the weights and has now lost too much of his pace as a result. I'd give him a season under a new manager but it should be his last unless he gets himself sorted as he is a poor Championship player (on a good day) at the moment.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18053445 "I'm not negative" LMFAO

To be fair, the players WERE garbage today. I lost count of the number of times Villa players made no effort to battle for loose balls even when it was them who gave the ball away. Gabby may as well have carried a board proclaiming "I don't give a shite" because he clearly didn't and nor did many others. Whatever is going wrong at VP, it is clearly a disease that has spread throughout the entire roster and that can only mean its coming from the core which is McLeish and his supporting cast.

If Lerner vdoesn't sack McLeish after that then he clearly does not care 1% about our club. I will never pay to watch Villa again while McLeish is anywhere near the club.

A good manager is always one who gets more out of a team than the sum total of its parts. A poor manager is one who gets less out of a team than the sum total of its parts. The likes of Ireland, N'Zogbia, Agbonlahor, Albrighton, Dunne, Collins (and more) are playing worse now than they were at their peaks in the past ...... he has failed to get the best out of any player and that, for me, should be the only criteria Lerner should be judging him by. What is the point in giving him funds to buy another exciting player because you can gaurantee he will drain any flare or talent from them and process them through the Eck Convertor machine to produce yet another hesitant, defensive and sterile player to add to the roster.

Is that a euphemism :shock: ?!!!

Curbishley will be announced as Villa manager on Thursday morning ...... you heard it here first !

So if the brawl turned out to be with a bunch of gobby noses, would that make anything different ?

Great fun ..... go do your worst ! http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/predictor/default.stm

Best choice by far and if you are going to pick on Woy's failings with that pile of red shite up north then what about Redface's consistant failings leading up to this season ..... the tax-dodging lobster-chops has achieved very little in the game and would be a disaster on the international stage.

Does anybody seriously think QPR will pick up any more points after today's showing ?!!!!
