When he opens with "we are never going to win the league", does he mean this season, or ever?There is a line between being realistic and being downright fucking dour!!!
He's pretty coy when speaking to the media. You'd struggle to find the sound bites from that interview to create a written story, in many ways the complete opposite of say Redknapp. I hope he's more dynamic and forceful when speaking to the team and describing his vision to them.
What uninspiring inarticulate crap. He cant string an intelligible sentence together. No vision, he actually said "mid table or a little bit higher"His team and tactics reflect his personality and character. Not very bright and totally lacking any excitement..He is safe in the mediocrity bubble with Lerner and Faulkner. If ever there was evidence to show why these people should not be running this club, this interview demonstrated this perfectly.The modern Aston Villa, no ambition and zero entertainment.
He reminded me of Ron Saunders, who only came out with one truly memorable line from my recollection when he faced the media.
Making a judgment on something you couldn't be bothered to watch?

That's bloody blasphemy, Nev. When Saunders spoke, we Villa fans knew exactly what he was saying, it was the media that didn't get it.Lambert comes across as very comfortable and in no great rush. The most interesting thing he said or hinted at was again mentioning the plans that have been going on behind the scenes that will be of great future benefit to the club. Post match he generally talks bollocks but I think that was one of his better interviews, not that he said a great deal but understanding how he likes the pressure and wants to be at the club for the long haul gives the impression he's a man with a plan - at least away from the pitch.If I wanted to get pissed off with him it was his comments about Newcastle and how their loyal fans rightly expect them to win at Sid James Park. Considering he currently has the worst home record in over 40 years at Villa Park makes his comment just a bit rich.
I'd be fine with mid table if we were middle on points, but sadly we are 4 points from the bottom 3 and 9 points off 9th. Not losing to lower league opposition in the cups every time would be a bonus too. Back to the interview... dour and incomprehensible, just like his tactics.
