raf Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I was sure we'd end up with a surprising appointment from overseas but I was wrong. PL was a good player and is a good manager, I'm sure he'll do us proud. It'll be interesting to see what he does with our squad this summer!

dudevillaisnice Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Opta Sports @OptaJoe 17% - Paul Lambert's Norwich conceded the lowest % of goals from set-pieces in 2011-12, Aston Villa the highest (47%). Appointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamdog Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Could be best appointment since Graham Taylor. Intelligent, pragmatic but tactically flexible with mean streak and good people around him. Atmosphere at first home game will be amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted June 2, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted June 2, 2012 I'll shamelessly steal a bit of Christian iconography for this. The Lions shall lie down with the Lamb. Agnus Dei, the Lamb of God. A lion-like lamb which rises to deliver victory after being slain . Up the Villa! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danceoftheshamen Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Welcome Paul!.. Very pleased you decided to come here & try to awaken this sleeping giant. Have to say i am amazed at the number of "rats in the kitchen" which have emerged during this process & the incredible amount of pundits who clearly have blinked vision as well as players, fans & the like who have crawled out of the woodwork to try & belittle this club whilst it was clearly at a very low point in it's glamourous history. Ill informed & infected with sky4itis the lot of you & clearly you all have rather selective memories too. This club has enormous potential & as THE original World "superclub" way back in the day & also the 5th most successfull English team ever i simply cannot fathom the reaction of these people labelling us & even comparing us with the likes of Norwich City, Wigan etc.. Are these people actually real? We have just recently celebrated the 30th anniversary of winning the games ultimate prize & yet are then subjected to slants of "why would he go from Norwich to Villa?" We have a bit of a false image in no small part due to a certain chairman who resided here for 25 years or so & ran the place like a corner shop.. This for me is why so many have lost respect for this club.. 25 years is a long time & means there is a whole generation of fans, pundits & indeed players who simply were not alive when this club was last fulfilling it's potential so they just can't see it...

Seat68 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Someone remind me but what did that rocket polisher Collymore say he would do if Lambert was appointed? He wants to get cartwheeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a good manager. Didn't you want Van Gaal?? He has no PL experience.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Woohooo!!! Wasn't expecting anything to happen on this until after the long BH so just logged on here to see who was having a little squabble at the moment, only to find this mass orgy of joy and welcome taking place! Welcome Mr lambert - I've got a feeling you are going to take Villa places and I am going to enjoy the journey. Welll done as well to RL and PF - they actually made a sensible managerial appointment. :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 My fellow villa fans I can honestly say I cannot remember being as excited about a managerial appointment. We can look forward to a VERY exciting summer, and after the last few years, we deserve it. Sit back, relax and now enjoy the fun Lamberts first major achievement: Turning Richard into a bundle of joy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
