Homeland was genuine edge of your seat stuff last night, absolutely brilliant and from the ending it looks like next weeks could be immense.

You can look at this two ways. First is pure stupidity because surely it makes selling the stadium naming rights more difficult Second they do plan to really sell the stadium naming rights and this us a way to ease it into the fans consciousness

Walking Dead started very well, I ended up watching it as the missus was in to it and I got hooked. The last series and half it has become a bit samey and the cliffhanger for the midseason break was probably the poorest of the lost so far.

I decided last night to reset my Nexus 5 as the battery usage had got so bad. It was just making it to when I got home before giving me the message it needed an extra charge. As I am writing this it is on 69% which is a massive improvement, mind you I havent put all of the apps back on, just the important ones so will be interesting to see how it goes when I add a few more.

I like most people arent enjoying the football that we are serving up and that is a big problem for the club if it contnues for the rest of this season, but if Lambert can get to 22 - 24 points at the midway point then he will deserve to get the second half of the season to try and improve the quality of the football while at least maintaining the results. The main concern I have is when we hit a patch like we did after the first 4 games and last season after we beat Chelsea he doesnt appear to know how to stop the defeats and if we encounter another run later in the season that might just be enough to send us down. Sometimes just giving the manager more time isnt the answer, yes stability is something the club should strive for and lets be honest stability when the owner wants to sell and has made a complete bloody mess of it by announcing to the world his intentions, allied with a CEO who buggered off 2 days after a big unity speech from the owner and the manager who has to his credit stuck by the club when he may have felt sod it is never going to be easy but something needs to change. Hopefully the owner will be gone because he is without doubt the biggest threat to our future that exists at the club at the moment.

I wonder what might have happened if Lambert used the money and players better. What we could do if he got the best out if players on more ocassions. Can you imagine? One stupid decision by Benteke is a single incident that if different could have had a big impact. You are speculating about hundreds of things, combined. Its not set in stone we would have got anything more out that game had Benteke stayed on the pitch, we might however have done better in the 3 games he missed.

For fans who dont rate Lambert we are told that not many were complaining about him after the first four games but now we are told that after ending an horrendous run without a win that some of us have made our mind up about him and wont change.

Plusnet have some good deals at the moment. Depends what speeds and if you need unlimited or not.

I'll join you, but lets set out what the minimum point return on the first 19 games should be so we can both be honest and judge if he has failed or not. I say 24 points is the line he has to get to for me to think he should have the rest of the season. Whats your total?

Needs to follow it up with another 3 points at the weekend, things might start to look a bit brighter.

The Walking Dead..............dirge, completely lost the plot.

That was a doozy! I did sit there thinking it cant be him..............................can it? It had me thinking! Fair play! Thought last nights episode of Homeland was top notch

What is the point of the devices section on the google play store as there is practically out of stock. Really really poor Google.

?

I think if this was another club most villa fans would be doing just that and to be honest looking at what is out in the public domain you cannot really blame people. I appreciate you will know more than me about what is going on inside the club which will mean you have a different viewpoint.

Well now lets see what Mr Fox is about, bring in a top quality coach and things may just improve, bring in a no-mark replacement and relegation beckons........over to you Tom.

This comment sums up the problem with this thread. Take the comment about how we were playing superb against Spurs prior to the sending off. Realise that statement doesn't fit your biased view. So change the statement to be the whole 2-1 loss against Spurs as being described as superb, boom nobody cares if anyone actually said it. People believe someone said it because you attributed it to someone as their "agenda". Sometimes I'm amazed at the things people post. But really, a football forum is by and large the last place for anything sensible or reasoned to be posted. The idea of debate is utterly impossible. Reasoned debate then mate. What exactly was superb about the performance up to when Benteke was sent off. The passing, the movement, the interplay, the attacking intent....anything? I would class a superb display as one like when we beat Leeds in the League Cup or when we beat Liverpool 5 - 1 in 76 I saw the game and say we played OK and nothing more, Spurs werent very good. For those of us who used to read the Argos what would they have rated the performance? Ah now it's comparing the words superb performance against this history of Villa great performances. Seriously!! Are we going to keep doing this? Avoid what was meant by a comment repeatedly? It was a superb performance by this team in the circumstances given the opposition, we needed a reaction and an attacking performance after the run of losses and the poor effort at QPR. We got it. We should have been at least 2 goals up at half time. People won't accept the significance of Benteke's sending off which resulted in the loss and obviously the huge knock on effect on the teams confidence. Instead all that blame has to be squared at Lambert. Yet we've managed to get two draws from a couple of tough games since which is a positive. We just need Benteke back. I genuinely believe that we are a top 10 side with this team when we have our best 5 players fit. The significance of not having Benteke or Kozak for the majority of this year has been huge. We need a big centre forward to bring physicality and hold the ball up, the effect on the rest of the team including and especially the defence is huge. Just give the team and manager some time, we aren't in a relegation fight and if we end up in one after the next 8 games we will all be in unison in wanting a change of manager. But until then, just give 100% support. One good win with the Holt rocking will give them a huge lift. I ask again what was superb? You cannot say they were superb and then when questioned start to redefine the usage of the word. Better yes, superb not a bloody chance. I would agree it was better than the QPR fiasco but then it would have been difficult to get worse and when you say given the opposition I thought Spurs were the poorest I have seen them in recent years, two things changed the outcome of that game. Firstly Benteke got himself sent off, secondly the opposition manager made substitutions which changed the game while our manager sat in his chair and twiddled his thumbs when everyone could see what was going to happen and only made changes after it was too late. On your last comment, we are in a relegation fight, just look at the table - just because we are not in the bottom 3 doesnt mean we arent.

Some fans me included want Lambert out because in my opinion he hasn't coached players and improved them, he appears tactically inept, he doesn't appear after 2.5 years got his team playing to any recognisable system or game plan, his signings don't appear to have any plan to them and lastly his team play dour, boring defensive non-football that if being played by other teams we would all be giving stick for. If he changes the above he will get my support but not until.

If you have battery issues then the Moto X is the same capacity as the n5 and almost the same skin. Buy something with replaceable batteries (or just a bigger battery). Possibly but my Nexus 5 used to be fantastic on battery. Not sure if its signal, wifi or just battery fatigue.

Christ now the performance against Spurs was now superb, talk about some people having an agenda.

Battery on my Nexus 5 is shocking and was before the update and really like what I have read about the new Moto X but who the hell is selling it.

Remember when Brian Little walked out of the club because he didn't want to be the manager who took us down and that's where we were heading. In came Mr J. Gregory and most fans were WTF. What was his record 9 wins in 11 games. And some say that changing the manager won't make any difference. If Lambert wants to get the fans back on side perhaps he should try and win a few games rather than trying not to lose them.
