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

As I've said before I'd like someone to question him on that. How exactly are we doing that? we lose virtually every week and we will go down. We don't ever pick ourselves up. Fuck off.

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.

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

My lad is priming himself to give the biggest rant of his Villa-supporting career on Tuesday.
I shall support him fully as we are dragged frothing from the ground as we concede another goal from a corner.

My last uber-rant was the Leicester City defeat in the League Cup when I watched the hapless, and rather marvellous, Olof Mellberg play as an attacking RB.

As we sit in an increasing empty Trinity stand I now punctuate my foetal crouched position by lurching to my feet and yawping incomprehensibly as we administer another dose of individual and collective ineptitude on the pitch.

On Tuesday my mate Dave was reduced to roaring gutturally periodically in disbelief.

The fans pick themselves up and go again you gormless twat - and we will be going when you and you shower of malifluous pestilence have upped sticks and fucked off.

Thank you and ggod night brothers and sisters

I agree.  Lambert keeps saying what he says, he shows no panic, he gives the media nothing to feed off, he just repeats his, "We keep going..." mantra.  I genuinely have no problem at all with that.

I just don't think many people, feel like picking themselves up right now.

Also its just a lazy throw away line. Lambert should talk about the game, talk about a new approach,
 for pity's sake he should lie if that's what it takes.
Talk up the returning Dunne as if he's the second coming of Mcgrath.

But honestly how, is "we go again" going to raise the masses, rally troops, put fire in bellies?

It isn't.

The worst thing is, you set yourself a target in the near future, and think, "that's where we can put in a performance, and turn things around", and it doesn't happen.

That'd be bad enough, but not only does it not happen, it actually gets worse.

That's the absolute killer in all this - whoever you blame, whatever your stance on the manager or the chairman - it keeps on getting worse, and there is genuinely nothing to be seen that makes you think "that'll improve things".

The slide needs to stop and it has now passed the stage of a few signings giving us a lift. It has got to the point where it will never work

for Paul Lambert at our club. The slide is now terminal and it is time to go and any new manager would at the very least give the club a lift.

Thats the damming aspect for me. Any club with any sort of connection with the club's supporters would know his continual use of the same phrases was pissing people off and had a word. Sorry Lambchop but using the phrase "go again" doesn't make you sound determined or resolute. It just sounds like you're not learning from your mistakes and will just keep doing the same things over and over again in the hope they'll finally work.

And here for a perfect hat-trick.

Quote
Paul Lambert said Villa will "take their medicine and go again" after his side's FA Cup defeat at the hands of Millwall.

Villa took the lead through Darren Bent before Danny Shittu headed the home side level before the break.

John Marquis put the London Lions into round five with just two minutes remaining.

But Lambert insisted there was no time for the team to feel sorry for themselves.

Lambert said: "It's not great, but you have to keep going.

"You take your medicine, pick yourself up and go again. There's no way you can lie down.

"I don't think we deserved to lose it, I didn't see that coming.

"We went 1-0 and conceded a goal from a corner again. It's individual errors that are hurting us at the minute.

"You've got to live with that, you've got to be prepared to be hurt in the penalty box.

"It's not been great but we had a lot of the ball. It's a game I thought neither team was going to win and I thought it was going to a replay."

Lambert felt his side bossed the game but he was frustrated to see yet another set-piece goal come into play during the match.

He added: "I was worried how they were going to react after the other night but they went and took the ball and gave it another go.

"But you can't defend set-pieces like that.

"We bossed it really, with the possession. It's individual errors that are costing us on set-pieces and the second goal was just a crossed ball and we should deal with that.

"I thought we showed grit. I thought we dominated the game and I never thought either team looked as if they were going to win it towards the end."

Lambert rested Christian Benteke and kept Gabby Agbonlahor on the bench with one eye on the big Barclays Premier League clash with Newcastle on Tuesday.

He added: "The lads have played a hell of a lot of games and we've not got the biggest of squads. You have to watch what you're doing.

"You can't make too many changes but the Premier League is the most important thing."

Lambert faces an anxious wait to see the extent of Fabian Delph's injury, after the midfielder limped off in the first-half.

Be careful. You'll get nasty bowel issues. We all have to go again. I think that's what he means. Once we've crapped ourselves in a game once, we'll go again ...he should of course add a thank you to that.... "we'll go again thank you" and perhaps add in some sort of gesticulation of sitting on a latrine for additional comedic effect (perhaps at a push an "ohh missus ' wouldn't go amiss)...quite frankly he might as well add on a pair of comedy glasses and nose for all the good it'll do to prevent relegation from this sort of one dimensional motivation, but at least I'd feel we were getting value for money from the surreal nature of it all.

The problem seems to be that football is nothing like real life. If I do not perform at work it is pointed out to me in supervision, a plan to overcome the issues agreed and a time-scale put in place. It is then reviewed. If I have not changed the behaviour/outcome/whatever I am put on increased supervision/retrained/replaced by someone who can do it until I come up to speed. If nothing changes I may be re-deployed into a less demanding job or sacked. None of these seems to happen at any level in football.

Defender cannot defend headers from corners. Give them a month of intensive practice and then review in match.
Still cannot defend headers at corners. Replace with someone else or buy in specialist expertise. Continue training.
Review away from competitive arena and. if no change, get rid.
If improved then allow to challenge for place.

Don't we want some of ours off the books? Admittedly we have less room to manouver money wise but coming out with a few home truths couldn't make things any worse could it. We've got quite a few who fit the QPR "here-for-the money" mentality.

Also along the same lines they're not his player so he is basically criticizing Hughes and his transfer policy, whilst putting pressure on the owner for signings. He is as dodgie as a second hand car salesman but a canny one all the same.

And yet the Villa fans were singing 'Paul Lambert's claret and blue army' at one point whilst we were losing today, and I didn't notice any vitriol directed at him when he came to thank us at the end of the game - so there's definitely a mixture of opinion about him. It didn't feel like many people in the away section were blaming him today.

Lambert "But we certainly didn't deserve to lose the game."

This guy is totally deluded

I don't think we deserved to lose either. That said, I thought it was entirely predictable. IMO we don't do ourselves justice for our good play, by collectively being so defensively brittle. Lambert hasn't given me much confidence that he is able to sort this brittleness out, especially by failing to bring in a centre back in January. I suppose we would all be more reassured if he was saying 'we have to stop conceding late goals, and we will be working on this in training'. I really hope that the fact that he is not saying this doesn't mean that it isn't happening.

I don't think anyone thought that we'd win today, so no shock there, but it is the persistence of the same old problems which we've had all season that makes people think we're not going to be winning too many games in a hurry.

I'm utterly sick to the tits of conceding goals after 80 minutes. Today it was against Arsenal, but genuinely, I'd back any team fighting to get something from a match against us to score at the arse end of the game because we are, week in, week out, utterly brainless and go to fucking pieces.

No indication today that we've learned from that, and whilst other areas have improved, there's nothing like enough to suggest we've sufficiently improved where we really need to.

If that sounds doomish, it isn't meant to be, I'm a Lambert supporter still, but those are the things we've seen week in, week out, all season now.

Yes but it wasnt gung ho laying siege like Everton did. They played tippy tappy tarty shite, at 1-1 IMO if we'd gone for it and got 'up em' we'd have won. They were no were near the Arsenal of even 2 years ago.... Mind you we are nowhere near the Villa of 2 years ago either.

The Arsenal of 2 up years ago etc is utterly irrelevant as is the Villa of 2 years ago. We weren't quit e good enough to get a draw.

We were in the pub with gooners after the game and they were all relived that had played us. After a week from hell they had an easy home game with little threat from good oldVilla. We. We're shitter than Blackburn last week and allowed them to win a game where they were shitting  themselves after being  defensively inept.

That is how shit we we really were. They never felt scared.

The high level stats suggest otherwise
Shots on target : 14 v 3
Corners : 12 v 3
Possession was ok we had 48%

Stats...lies, damn lies and statistics.  To say we didn't deserve to lose you must take into account more than figures.  Arsenal were the home team and were set up to pressure us in our half, we were set up to resist this pressure and to try and hit them on the break.  Hence the stats will tell you that Aresenal dominated the attacking game.  The evidence of our eyes tells us that we played well, within the confines of our gameplan, and were 5 minutes away from earning a deserved draw.

Which ever way you look at it, the bottom line is that we lost when we had a very good chance of getting something from the game... yet again!
