See bold (maybe I didnt have to point that out)

But thats the whole point no matter what he does its all the same. Proof he's not good enough as a manager. If I pick the same numbers for the lottery week in week out and dont win. Then change my numbers once in a while/every week/more attempts at number/less attempts at numbers but still dont win. Then I'm not good at winning the lottery. Should I keep trying? or find something I'm good at to make money/a living/Millions?????

let it be Imagine Don't let me down

The reality is..... Whatever Lambert has done/tried/changed, it has only been enough to avoid relegation. The fact that he has tried different things/approaches just shows one thing. He's not good enough as a manager to be manager of AVFC

....transfer window open and we wont be signing a new manager nor winning 7-0 in the FA Cup.....

Greyfield must start

you make some really good points (in Bold) but is what he's doing going to kick us on? I fear not

this

You make valid points and then say garbage like "so impossible to beat" or "should not happen with this team". There is nothing to suggest either of these is true - certainly not the former and we're currently not in trouble! I'm in awe of your optimism

This would be both solid and expansive. Go 0-1 up with a bit of Benteke magic Solid defensive play Swansea to have around 60/65% of possesion When Andy runs his B*****ks off for 70 mins bring on Gabby to speed up our forward play securing a second goal 0-2 away win and a Merry Xmas for everyone

Great Post Made me happy to be depressed about football

My first ever football memory was George Best on TV, He was my hero as an individual player. But my first season watching live games was our relegation to Div 3. Would have been easy to be a ManU glory hunter. But I saw the name ASTON VILLA FC, those beautiful colours, heard the Holte End singing and knew that I'd be a Villa-fan till I die.

I'd seriously consider paying even 100 Quid to see a "Messi/Ronaldo" type player in a Villa shirt. Rather than 10/20/30/40 or 50 Quid to see Cleverly

You might win your accumulator if we were allowed to field 12 players with 13 a draw 14 for the win

...... the bench

Well stalling on signing a new deal and if it's true that he's sold his house and is living in the Belfry. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then there's a good chance it's a duck. Is this true?

If your auntie has a dick, tell her to get it removed please, as I will be in Poland 12-14th Jan 2015

Lambert will probably go Guzan Okore Vlaar Clark Lowton Cissokho Sanchez Delph Weiman/CNZ Gaby Benteke I would rather see Guzan Okore Vlaar Clark Lowton Cissokho Bacuna Sanchez Delph Weiman Benteke 3 at the back to cover their movement 5 in the midfield to try and compete 1 Weiman to run his B******s off 1 Benteke for a bit of magic Unfortunately I can't see us scoring past De Gea so it depends on how early they score to see how many they beat us by. nothing to lose though

Guzan, Hutton, Okore, Clark, Cissokho, Cleverley, Sanchez, Richardson, N'Zogbia, Agbonlahor, Benteke. Good Balance in Defence & Midfield Gabby will have to run his B******s off CNZ will have a bit of space in our "Counter-Attacking-Style" (would rather have seen Andy or Bacuna) lets see if he can deliver (not much faith though) Hoping but not confident

that dross from down the road served up worse shite and won a cup. McLeish in

P.S. I'd be really pissed off if we got relegated. Sometimes you dont come back up

Shovels, Points of posts.......etc Sorry but the most recent "points" were along the lines of "Lambert achieving something that would change the mind of posters who would like to see him gone or give him credit" Without quoting I was merely stating that I dont believe PL will get us high enough to warrant a change of mind (mine anyway). For results to change, playing style must change "in my opinion" (respect if mines different to yours) I really cant remember a team scoring so few goals, defensive tactics and backs to the wall defending at defining moments of matches finishing 5/6th or winning a cup. Like Liverpool, Everton & Spurs are currently experiencing, European football is a different animal to the Premier League & if you don't have the noose & squad, it F**ks up the league position. Without stating the obvious, would someone name me a team that performs similar to us who achieved 5/6th or won a cup? Axe well and truly down

We'll never make 5/6th or win a cup the way we play

Pissed off with finishing 5th or 6th? As we'd be guaranteed to go down the season we played in the Europa League? Get out and walk. We wont finish 5th or 6th more likely to Qualify via FA/League Cup if we avoid Bradford, L. Orient, Sheff U and all the other lower league teams Ah, right soz, so you'd be pissed off we won a trophy and got into the Europa League because Lambert would surely follow up our first trophy since 1996 with immediate relegation? Jog on. maybe now you get the irony post on
