I'm sorry everybody. This is the real reason I was in Brum on business last weekend :(


You should be banned from here for that. ;)

I think it is great that Fat Sam came all that way to pay homage to a Villa fan ;D

No chance of it happening (I hope). But if that Fat Twat with an Easter Island statue for a head did rock up at VP i'd be tempted to stop going. Can't stand him or his shit football.

Although Risso would be happy for once!  ;)

Easter Island Statue - genius

Course he was. he thought you were a West ham fan. Not saying for one second I want managing us but to say he isn't a good manager is simply wrong. In a results orientated business he has done brilliantly at Bolton, Blackburn, and West Ham. His brand of football may be crap but I'd argue that he is similar to O'Neill. Big men at the back and wingers and big bloke up front too. His Bolton side had Jay Jay Okocha and there was nothing bland or boring about that Bolton side. Especially when they ripped us apart one sunny semi-final.

The marketing people at Clarins need sacking. To be fair, neither of you makes a good advert for well groomed and moisturised gentlemen.

Would've been a better transtional manager when we appointed TSM, 11-12 would've been a comfortable season.

Completely agree Pete.  I don't think he'll ever be known for his total football, but he's effective at what he does.  He got Bolton up, got them competing then slowly turned them into a decent team to watch, with the likes of Campo and Okocha.  He's got West Ham promoted and looks like keeping them up as well.  The Hammers fans might prefer to see them as a yo-yo team playing tippy-tappy stuff, but his first concern was keeping them up.  I'd have him over Lambert any day of the week.  It's not like Lambert's football is anything to write home about in any case.

Can't stand Allardyce. His sides suck the life out of football, just like Stoke. It might be effective but it bores people to death, it's risk free, percentage stuff. We've had our share of 'percentage' managers but he takes it to the nth degree.

Watching his interviews is also quite revealing. If they win, he talks about how his decisions influenced things, if they lose it's all the players fault.

He's a twat.

I can only imagine how the Spammers would react if they thought that Lambert would be their next boss. Rubbish football AND dismal results.

I take this kind of speculation with a pinch of salt , if lerner was going to pull the trigger on lambert he would have done so by now - nothing in this .

Was he having a smootch before the game last weekend then? Most teams stay on broad street before they play us nowadays so the bullring isn't too far from that.
