I quite simply don’t know what to say.
Many of us had real fears about losing this one and so it turned out.
My predicted draw was looking in the bag, but we never really looked like scoring did we?
And what about that first half? I struggle to recall such a poor performance from two teams in the top flight, ever.
Even before the goal, the fact that Guzan had made the better saves in this game says it all and it’s simply not good enough. I even went so far as to think that Palace would probably nick it.
I now believe we stand every chance of going down, as we create absolutely nothing, especially at home.
How can it be that we are reduced to this?
I’m thoroughly despondent after that display, so am cutting it short. I just feel sick to the stomach.
But I will say one thing.
While I heard many boos and jeers, I never heard anyone calling for Lambert’s head.
I’m perplexed as to why.
Unless of course, most agree with me, in that we won’t appoint a decent replacement or give a new manager any money to spend.
Please, Lerner, do something or we’re doomed.
I can’t bear to watch it anymore. When Lerner came in 2006, I was hopeful we could at least have chance to challenge and most importantly play entertaining football. For all of the 6th finishes, I didn’t like the O’Neil football and hated the decline fate the blarney era.
I was prepared to give Lambert a chance but he is worse than O’Neil but like his mentor is in this for the money, he DOES NOT CARE about Aston Villa, he will only walk after a massive payout (Norwich have the proof). He would rather stay and drag the club down than show some character and walk. People talk about mercenary players but the managers are no better.
The sooner Lerner goes the better even if it means we play in red and blue and are called Aston Red Bull Villa.
Be gone with you Lerner, you have damaged my club enough and take Faulker and Lambert with you when you get your buyout fee!
Aston Villa Red Bull?
I’d rather cut my own dick off? Pathetic.
Better than Aston Villa championship!
No it isn’t. At least we could regroup and come back stronger.
We need to get Lambert out now if we want to have any chance of staying up. I’ve really had enough of the tripe we keep getting served up.
Praying for a takeover!
Me too would love a man city style takeover. Lerner stayed with the browns for years even though their fans wanted wanted Lerner out. I’m afraid it could be another 5 years at least of Lerner so may as well save st money and start buying seats in 5 years time as football will never improve under Lerner no matter who is manager
We’ve got the worst home record of all 92 league clubs, so right now 91 league managers are doing a better job than Paul Lambert. So when people say who can we bring in, pretty much anyone would be an improvement, its that bad.
We said that about mcleish but got lamberk who is worse IMO.
Mcleish is a better manager than lambert, both play limited hoofball, but mcleish is marginally more effective. We don’t half pick some shit managers, time to go abroad, I refuse to believe there aren’t better managers out there willing to join our club. Someone, somewhere will be grateful of the opportunity, even if Lerner is running us on the cheap.
There’s better managers out there but will they come to us and manage with one hand tied behind their back!!
Have read all the comments and so far does this mean the LEMMINGS are turning.Or do they wish they had have taken notice of Sir Oohah and myself as we said from the start no good would come of having LAMBERK as manager.Lerner gave them the man they wanted now they should hang their heads in shame as he as totaly destroyed a great club the pride of the midlands and the Great City of Birmingham.Hope they are pleased with them selfs Lamberk must be made walk the plank me hearties.
Agree sir terry if only the lemmings listened to us. Or we got was slater or let’s give e him time ffs. He needs to go now end of. Even if we beat Swansea 10.0 I don’t care it will be another result papering over the cracks of how poor we are.
Alright you two, hands are held up! Stop bragging! Yes, he’s a shit manager, he doesn’t have a clue, he has to go. As you say oohah, even if we beat Swansea, I’m all out of hope now, the guy needs to walk!
Lol agree mate. Let’s hope he goes
Its the first game i have missed for just over a year n knew we would lose this one. We are playing some crap footy this season and need a massive change! Its generally worse than mcleich. Lambert is taking us one way and thats down!!! I wasnt in favour of him in the first place but thought we need stubility and need to give him a chance, he has completley failed and now needs to go, I now want the mumbling twat out our great club!!
Has he gone yet? Let me know when I can start watching my beloved team again please! Not going near another game until he’s gone.
I keep checking the internet to see if he’s gone but nothing out there unfortunately so wev got him for Swansea at least 🙁
We are abysmal and there is no denying that. I can’t believe we have dropped so far since the latter part of last season. Without some quality additions we look doomed. The style of football is so atrocious you do feel that it’s a waste of time recruiting them as they would probably make no difference.
I defended McLeish last year as he was on a hiding to nothing. If he hadn’t lost Bent to injury we would probably have stayed up more comfortably. I can’t see any reason to defend Lambert as this is his team in a way that wasn’t true of the last manager. And before anyone misses the point no I was not a fan!
I struggle to see who we will get in to move us forwards. Hands up, who wanted Lambert? If you did then clearly you are as useless as Lerner. So why would your choice be right now? A foreign, maybe non-English speaking manager? How often does that work? I’m at a loss really. I want change but I don’t trust anyone at Villa to give me the answer either. It’s so awful all you can do is joke about it.
I will confess that I haven’t been to Villa Park since the end of the McLeish season. I was a season ticket holder till then, but just got sick of the crap football and the whole negative experience. I can’t see any reason to change.
Good post DS.
Now now lads don’t gloat, he that laughs last laughs longest, OK most of us took ,longer than most to realize we had a prat of a manager, the thing is what can we do to get rid of him, 4 seats are not getting renewed, secondly will not buy fuck all from the club that’s my contribution how’s that.
Well that’s a start Bill but we need thousands of others to follow and can’t see that happening
Oohah forgot to say, Sky sports out of the window,also bt sports, if they ask why will say ask Aston Villa that question.
Sky have a lot to do with it I cancelled sky sports a couple of years ago though got BT sports simply as it’s free as I have broadband with them anyway. Can’t stand listening to Owen why the fuck they got that money grabbing useless twonk is beyond me. However teams above us suffer also from sky like saints and Newcastle but look how well they do compared to us. The only teams that win major honours in the sky era are the media darlings and gate crashers with tons of money like city and Chelsea.
Not gloating Bill. I wasn’t pro or anti Lambert as felt I didn’t know enough about him. That said I was impressed by his previous promotions and getting a team into the Premiership on buttons and keeping them there. I’m the same now. We need to change but how? Three managers since MON (not a fan of him either) and relegation battles each year. Like I said, I’m at a loss really, but don’t want change just to be back where we are now.
D’svilla that was aimed at Terry and Oohah, I’m like you mate ashamed at my club.
Sorry Bill. Misread that.
No more Scottish Premier League managers please! Just because Alex Ferguson was successful, doesn’t mean the rest will be. Hit and hope, long ball stuff probably works 99% of the time when you’re Celtic playing Ross County, but it won’t work if your players are more like Crewe vs Champions League!
I really do fear the worst this season. Don’t think Lerner will give Lambert the boot, especially not mid-season. This will be the third year running we’ve been in a relegation battle and we were lucky to escape the past two times. We all saw what happened to Wigan – if you keep dicing with relegation your luck runs out eventually! And they even had a decent manger!
Only 3 points of bottom 3 now and 4 point behind Sunderland could be bottom 3 in next week or so.
How many times can one person recycle the same lines in a post match press talk
Lamabert:
“It’s the old cliche but you have to pick yourselves up. You have to meet the challenge.
“There’s no point wilting. I am disappointed. But you pick yourself up and meet that challenge.”
Perhaps he should realise that if we played well and won occasionally we wouldn’t have to pick ourselves up.
Lamberks latest interview on goal.com totally deluded
Defeat places Villa just three points off the relegation places yet Lambert does not believe his side are in a relegation battle, instead insisting his attentions are switched to their next game at home to Swansea.
“No. If you look at the table at the lower side of it everybody in that side is doing the exact same as us,” he told reporters. “I’m not going to be downbeat here and I’ll pick them up and go again on Saturday.
“The way we bounce back is if we win it and that’s what we’ll try to do and try and give them [the fans] something to go with. You stick with it and that’s important. It’s important that everybody sticks together.
I heard that Wiemann put his hands to his mouth to tell the fans to be quiet when the game ended, I mean he is not in a position to say anything to anyone he has been shit all season. Apparently Culverhouse told some fans to shut up as well, i am sorry but not good enough, the club is being dragged through the gutter by second rate amatuers who should be ashamed of themselves.
I am furious tonight time for us fans to make somekind of a stand we need some lambet out songs and some Lerner out songs we are heading for the championship.
Also want to add if i dont like it because Villa are playing shit and i complain it does not make me fickle it makes me a real fan who goes to very league home game, not some ponce who watches clips on MOTD.
UTV LAMBERT OUT
ha ha “Pick them up and go again” the blokes deluded….. !
Unless he means pick them up and just fucking go. As far away from vp as possible
Used to have 3 season tickets when they appointed McLeish it was the ultimate kick in the teeth. I haven’t set foot in Villa Park or spent a penny on Merchandise since then and simply will not until Lerner is gone. I was a fan of Houllier he was taking the club in the right direction and we played attractive football I really think if he hadn’t of got ill we would be in a far healthier position. As for Lambert well I never wanted him the job is to big for him that’s clear he is good for a crap team like Norwich who are happy to survive on a shoestring. He is not good enough for Avfc he is a miserable dire manager. Nothing else to say apart from F–k off Lerner.
Spot on spenc just searched the internet to see if lamberk had been sacked yet but unfortunately I can’t see anything which means Wev got join in charge for Swansea. If we win that game 10.0 I still want him out he is shit. Lerner has to go to he has run this club into the ground and made us a laughing stock like he did the browns. Can’t believe 37,000 actually bothered to go yesterday says it all.
So some fans on facebook have claimed the great and supposed tactical genius that is Ian Culverhouse, who was the real man behind Norwich doing well… Was telling fans to fuck off and to shut up and stop booing, while Weimann was shushing fans. Kind of getting sad really.
Does get me thinking how much Ol’ Ian does for the club and are these really his tactics. Telling fans to fuck off and shut up really is a bit touchy… Unless he has a huge hand in creating them, like he did at Norwich.
Fans need to start chanting for lamberts head and culver houses head if true tomorrow. Win lose or draw fans need to grow a pair and make it known we don’t want this mumbling tosser at out great club anymore
Slept on it, still about as fucked off as you can get, got the same feeling back i had when McCleish was here. We should not be comparing them as they are both lower league managers brought in on the cheap by our estranged owner. Time to force these useless pricks out of our club had enough of it now.
Lerner and Faulkner are clueless at running a football club and Lambert and his cronies are league one at best.
FUCK OFF LAMBERT THE VILLA IS OURS
I too slept on it, albeit on the back of a few heavy sized Brandies. That was as bad as I’ve seen and I refer you to my ‘time for drastic action’ submission after the Stoke game. Lamberk has lost the fans with his ‘I’m hurting more than you line’ in the Mail. No you’re not Paul. You will walk away with millions more in the bank than you started with but for fans that have been here for 40, 50 and more years, we can’t walk away. He also trotted out the line ‘if you can’t win it, don’t lose it’. Are you being fucking serious? We weren’t playing Bayern Munich you tool, but one of the worst teams (apart from ourselves) in the league. If he had any decency he’d walk away and let the next bloke have the transfer window. He doesn’t believe we’re in a relegation fight but the 37,000 who were there yesterday do. Anyone still believe in the Lamberk vision? 0-0 against a Tony Pulis team at home and he believes Jordan Bowery is the answer.
What is really worrying is Bowery looked our best player and he is by no means a Premier League footballer our whole squad is shit. I have rated Delph but he just runs around like a headless chicken passing into trouble. Kozack is awful luna is awful, KEA is quite possibly the worst midfielder i have ever seen, does he know you attack forwards.
Lambert you sold a shower of shit on big wages and replaced them with an even bigger shower of shit on low wages lerner must love you, wish they would all fuck off.
THE VILLA IS OURS, THE VILLA IS OURS FUCK OFF RANDY THE VILLA IS OURS
No doubt who the man of the match was though. That little pissant Bannan bossed the midfield, even winning balls in the air. Totally agree about KEA – hasn’t improved since his debut against Everton last year. Don’t worry, I’m sure Lamberk has got some big names lined up in the window, Think he sent scouts to Kiddy Harriers yesterday so get ready for some strengthening. I absolutely couldn’t stand Hutton but no one can tell me he was worse that Luna, Bennett or Lowton.
Lambert you sold a shower of shit on big wages and replaced them with an even bigger shower of shit on low wages lerner must love you, wish they would all fuck off
Excellent Morgan sums it up brilliantly. Someone needs to put that on a banner for tomorrow.
For those people who claim we’re making progress can I also point out that we’ve beaten 1 of the bottom 6 teams and lost to two of them.
Opened my eyes this morning fuck the fag i turned the tv on to see if that prick has got the bullet NO what a fucking joke our club is im well fucked off going back to bed im still having the nightmare.
We are managed by Lambert for the unforeseeable future, as he is one of the most arrogant managers in the premiership, he puts proffessional footballers in to train on their own one trouble causer ok but 7-8 – how unprofessional and arrogant is that ?? he is deluded beyond any other manger, look at the post match comments.
Added to this we are owned by Mr Lerner who doesn’t even attend matches anymore, he probably doesn’t understand relegation as it doesn’t happen in the USA…. In addition to this any new Manager would have to be sort by the great Mr Faulkner… Who knows fuck all about football and is there to be Lerners ears and count the pennies…..
I believe even if we sack lamkerk…… a) we won’t get a decent replacement as Faulkner will conduct the interviews and b) if we do get a replacement how can they work with Faulkner he aint got a clue…….. Lerner has given lambert £40m thats just stupid but other clubs have spent less and replaying great football and are better positioned…FAULKNER SACKED AND TAKE LAMBERT WITH HIM
Saddened (well apropriate) i couldn’t of put it better mate this club is going to the dogs pure & simple lerners laughing his yankee bollox’s off.swansea next they’ll rip us to shreds get the cricket scoreboard out.im one well pissed off fan.
Cheers Giddy, I just think it goes a lot deeper than Lambert, yes he has to go but we have no football brains at board level so the daft Yank is running the club blind…… Would anyone who knows anything about football sanction our half wit manager to spend £40m on a bunch of unknowns… We get a decent player like Benteke and he wants to leave within a year, we just don’t stand a chance do we ???
By rights the norm would be the chairman does whatevers good for the club in moving it forward hiring the right manager providing sufficent funds to maintain a decent squad of players.lerner ticks fuck all of these criteria.lambert would of walked by now if lerner had his heart in it.a fucking disgrace i say.
Rumours are we are up for sale in the region of £200-£250m can anyone confirm these rumours, without accusations of wanting sheiks and billionares its growing momentum and for me on the face of it Lerner is never at VP so it would seem true.
just after listening to talksport ian tayler what alet down blaming mon for spending too much he didnt buy makoun bent ireland given zog hutton give jenas 2 million plus more too spurs for 20 mins football,when one off ourown defending lerner what chance have we lambert has to go because simply he hasnt got a clue what is it now 5 formations in 5 matches baker has made 2players in last 2 matches look like usain bolt luna gets ripped apart what does he do nobody playing in front of him every team attacks down that side delph touted for england they are not that desperate.gabby 1 goal all season on nearly 60 grand a week weimann 1 goal all he does is moan kozac mighton be the greatest but knows where net is replaces him with bowery who couldnt score in4 division tonev dancing on ice says it all kea is he a midfielder helinus? westwood i cant pass forwad okore unlucky vlar concrete ron more like plastic ron yet given hutton bent zog all pushed away
forget Taylor he is a club employee and to blame MON for the mess now is a total cover up of lerner
I think we all forget about the twats in the dugout you know the ones that train and write on little boards , you do that and you do this, about has useful as a bag of shit. Just don’t get rid of Lambert those prats have to as well. Lads I got the score right yesterday 0-1 I’m blaming myself for that its my fucking fault.
