"You pick yourselves up and go again."

[JUAN PABLO]

He knows he's botched it big style. He must know.

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.

We need John Gregory

To be fair though, Weimann and Benteke have been the two brightest spots for us this season.

Lost for words now. The next four months are going to be painful.

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.

Ryan Giggs as player manager.

[Phil from the upper holte]

He doesn't know what to say, he looks like a broken man...

[Drummond]

It's now irrelevant what he says.

Been like that since West Ham away

[eastie]

Pick yourself up and go - as far away as fukkin possible!

Resign!!!!!!

With all due respect, why don't you just fuck off, I've argued my case with Lambert enough to have to put up with you and that "backed into a corner" bullshit.

The last thing I want to hear is you with your tedious fucking perma-rage.

I'd go with SGT. He wouldn't be able to resist, be a massive lift for everyone and being totally non-dependant on Lerner he wouldn't follow the party line like Lambert. He can also organise a defence and would soon sort out the wasters and scare the shit out of the kids. Lambert has no authority at all and the charisma of a lampost. Chances of Lerner employing SGT - virtually zero. He'll look for another yes-man

I think he was trying the olive branch.

I think he was being a snidey git, myself.

Now now for the abuse please.

(Quality, quality rant that visibly made me smile for the first time today. 11 hours glued to 2 screens and excel at work followed by Villa losing has made me even more grumpy than when I started. A smile is an achievement I tell you!)
