I'm genuinely astonished how low his stock has fallen. To think when we nicked him off Norwich he was an exciting, young, dynamic manager. What the hell happened?

I genuinely think most of it was hype.  He was lucky enough to inherit a couple of players and Grant Holt in particular who were too good for League 1 and the Championship.

Paul Lambert is backing his players to survive - with the help of their supporters.

Lambert was genuinely moved by the support of Stoke fans today - not least at the final whistle when they heartily applauded their team off.

Stoke's fourth successive defeat leaves them second bottom and in all kinds of strife, but not without hope says their manager after a performance like this afternoon's.

"I thought we were excellent throughout the game and were up against a really good side," said Lambert.

"I couldn't ask any more than the way we played.

Just replace Stoke or Stoke’s with Villa or Villa’s and you’d swear it was 2015. Is he looking like a tramp yet?
Happy clappy days over then, TV?

Sorry who are you again? And what the fuck are you talk about?

His back to back promotions with Norwich and then a mid table Premier League finish quite rightly earned him a reputation as one of the best up and coming managers. Although scratch the surface  and prior to that he quit his first job at Livingston after winning only two games in his six months there, quit as Wycombe manager after failing in the League Two play offs and finished mid table in his only season at Colchester. Add to that his time at Villa, Blackburn, Wolves and so far at Stoke and the bloke has been successful at one club seven years ago and pretty crap at the other seven he has managed since.

13 matches without a win and the inevitable happened to Lambert today.

No doubt he'll be telling everyone how he begged the Chairman to let him resign and how the players have been "excellent"...

Relegation confirmed by conceding a late goal. Exactly as it would have been for us had he stayed at Villa Park.
