Things I've heard on here this season

[john e]

just some of things i've heard on here in the last few weeks -



Lamberts plan is not working, we are worse than last season

we need to find a way of playing Bent, otherwise we are definitely going down

the young players are not good enough, most are championship level players

i hate to say this but Mcliesh was doing a better job

if Randy doesnt back Lambert heavily in Jan and bring in experience, we are doomed

we need to bring back NRC to give us some grip in midfield


i know that i'm posting this after a good win against Liverpool, and there is a long way to go,
but i havent made any of those points up, they are genuinly what i've been reading on here by some posters, and in my opinion are the biggest load of bollocks i have read since i joined the site seven years ago

only in my opinion obviously

You'll have read the exact polar opposites of those opinions too.

Internet message board in extreme views shocker!

The whole "huh huh, the things people said on here, what tossers" thing is tedious.

Before yesterday, we were 17th or thereabouts, and had barely won away for what seemed like years. It's hardly surprising some people were getting annoyed or worried.

 I'd also suggest that the assertion we need to graft some experience onto the squad or we may continue to struggle is hardly proven to be nonsense.

I'm sure people could point at things you've posted and assert that they, too, were utter bollocks, John.

You missed mine. I thought Benteke was crap when he signed him. I am happy to have been wrong.

......SO FAR! I am watching you Tekkers.

Bit early to be starting with this sort of nonsense I reckon John.  It was a brilliant win yesterday, but we've got Chelsea away next, followed by another top 4 club in Spurs at home, and we're still only 3 points above the bottom three.  I notice you didn't post anything similar following last week's home 0-0 draw with Stoke.

My thoughts exactly, in his first game his touch was like a 10 yard pass and it bounced off him like a pinball machine. Humble pie tastes nice.

[Percy McCarthy]

So fucking what? If we were all scared to say what we think because some anal clown* was going to drag it up months later nothing would ever get posted except sitting on the fence.

And I say that as someone who hasn't made a fool of myself for hours.

*No offence like.

[Matt Collins]

It's different views that make forums interesting. Having said that, the assertiveness of some of the views looks silly in hindsight - eg people suggesting that lambert has nothing about him, or that this is the worst group of players they've ever seen at villa park. Nonsense

[olaftab]

These are supporters dark thoughts that we all have they are just sharing them with us because they feel safe. Nothing wrong with that let people have their say. The more honest the better.

[Rigadon]

john e,  this is a forum.  People talk shit, philosophise, get it wrong / spectacularly wrong, have really interesting insights.  Nobody should paint themselves as the arbiter of such things.   

[Risso]

The thing with Benteke for me, is that when he arrived he looked very strong and powerful as he does now, but I thought that running with the ball he looked dreadful.  I was very, very wrong, if that will cheer John up a bit.

[Chris Jameson]

90% of the population find Michael Mcintyre funny.

Man utd fan who the fuck bent eke?

[not3bad]

I take it none of you are going to join my "Bring Back Big 'Eck" campaign then.  Bastards.

[Eigentor]

in his first match i thought benteke looked a bit shit but i have changed my mind because now he look useful, good even, and with a great promise

with lambert initially i thought it was a very good appointment but then i worried that he wasn't that good after all as we haven't played very well in some matches and he has got some substitutions spectacularly wrong, and that raises a question mark over his tactical nous

we won 3-1 away against chelsea last season who clearly are a better team so this result doesn't mean that our worries are over
however while that result proved to be a blip, yesterday's result seems to be part of a trend of improvement, last season we got steadily worse
