Anyone else thinking in terms of biblical epic?

substitute Villa for Egypt

Mon as the vengeful god.

Lambert is like the bunch of locusts sent to destroy us.

It's probably time to stop drinking now.

I'd even rather hear dolly and his honest bunch of lads crap. It's that bad. Try a new one Paul: "I resign".

Delia must be rubbing her hands with glee at the compo she got out of Villa.

We should counter-sue under the trade descriptions act.

It's a wonder that reporters even bother to interview him anymore.

The same phrases, the same thousand-yard stare. Just repeat the same one each week.

One shot on target sound half and we need luck!? Luck in which sense? The sense Bannan suddenly actually turns into messi? Or Clark turns into cannavaro?

Dropping Bent could yet haunt him....I think it was too big a decision to make so soon. It put a lot of pressure on him and the younger players.

He's not gonna resign. He's followed Lerner's plans to the letter, so we have to hope Lerner decides he's the sacrificial lambchop to take the heat off him. We need a personality in with a bit of standing in the game who can tell Lerner to sling his hook if need be and we may just stay up. As i keep saying you don't need to be a managerial great to organise a defence.

Admitting that we need luck to win is effectively admitting there's nothing else you can do.  And that means it's time to let someone else have a go.

Indeed because it's patently obvious that there are things that can be done.

We're totally doomed.

The club is absolutely rotten to the core, it is an utter, utter shambles. Meanwhile, Randy is sat 3,000 miles away, totally fucking oblivious to it all.

Did he really say "we just need a bit of luck"?

I support Lambert, but I can barely articulate how much that support is being stretched at the moment.

I don't think you do support him really, you've just backed yourself into a corner.  He's a dismal excuse for a manager, just about anybody with a Uefa coaching badge would do better.
