This season we will for the first time.....
fail to get the ball in the oppositions box (let alone get a shot on target)
-
Approach every game like we are Woking in an FA Cup tie against a Premier League side.
-
22 home games 2012-2013
7 wins
22 home games 2013-2104
7 wins
2 games 2014-2015 season
0 wins
Total - 46 games and 14 wins
-
Our home record is beyond atrocious.
-
fail to get the ball in the oppositions box
when was that then?

We've already scored a goal this season so this isn't going to happen.

Leyton Orient had never beaten a Premier League side until last night
It's so ridiculous, it's like he's doing it on purpose.
-
...win the FA Cup in the 21st Century! Wahey!!

first team to concede double hat-trick in premier league history (Shane Long)

It's so ridiculous, it's like he's doing it on purp
I didn't notice him playing actually..

Sorry, he holds no responsibility whatsoever for last nights debacle and it's only the first time it's happened after all .

Fuck.....That really puts things in perspective. Sums it up totally. As another poster said maybe if Lambert showed some passion about going out yet again it wouldn't be so bad. In the last five years the powers that be at VP and Sky have killed off any lingering interest I had in attending, the buzz I got as a little 'un walking up those steps and seeing the pitch with my heroes warming up is long gone.Call me over dramatic but I'm sure some people can relate? Lerner and Lamberts partnership may be all lovey dovey(or they would have us believe) but its proving disastorous for Aston Villa FC.

There's at least 36 more opportunities to meet that one.

I'm sure they beat Fulham away in the FA cup one year fairly recently.
EDIT- I've checked and they did in 2005/06 when they were in the 4th division (old money) so that fact is bollocks. Doesn't make me feel any better mind.
-

Have they not beaten a Premier League side (since 1992) or a team in the top flight?

Apologies. I've seen it posted in various sites/ places so just took it at face value. That' ll teach me

ive walked down this street before

Last night, yet again, just was not acceptable to the fans. Just like previous embarrassments against Sheffield United, Millwall, Bradford. Just like our utterly abysmal home record in general.
The problem is that it quite clearly is acceptable to those running our club, given the fact that Lambert, despite his atrocious record, is at zero risk of the sack.
They don't care if we lose our best chance of silverware before August is even over. They don't care about anything beyond top flight survival.
Lerner's retreat from the club they used to tell us they were in it for the long haul with, through thick and thin, is frankly disgraceful.
-
ive walked down this street before
Me too. And it's covered in dog shit.
-

yeah that's it in a nutshell.
Not sure who posted it, but when you see the various momentous matches and incidents that he's been involved in - how the hell is he still here?
The Chelsea whooping, the cup defeats, the near relegation and his management team sacked for bullying.
I thought the outrageous, comical stuff would have been behind us with the end of last season. Sadly I think we've got more coming.

He will break the world record for the number of times he will say the word fantastic during an interview.

has been for a long time

Brilliant as well

I'm not a violent person but watching his after match interviews I wanted to punch him
Maybe Keane will lamp him

spot on, sums up my situation too.
-
I am going for the longest time ever recorded in the premier league for being goal less at home.
-
The whole "enough chances to win two games" thing, again...was he ever this dour and negative before he came to Villa? It's like he's decided the only way we're likely to consistently score is by breaking quickly, and you should only need that to happen a couple of times until you score.
-
How about fewest home goals in a season. Record held by CiŁy - 10, 2006/7.
-
Premiership survival again

Premiership survival again
85 posts. Hmmm.
Damn apologists.
Bugger off Randy, got your IP buddy
-
Winning two matches with only one shot on target would be amazing...
-
Winning 2 matches back to back. Just imagine that. ManUre have their trebles and doubles & cup wins, we can but dream of winning 2 football matches one after the other.
Fucking abysmal.
-
well, after a bright start, it's pissing it down here now, so I'm going to have a nice cup of tea and a big bowl of temazepam. Wake me up in in the Spring with some good news.
-
This thread sums up why Villa fans are basically twats.
Fantasising over imaginary events, moaning about them before they've even occurred, FFS.
How about we dwell instead on the fact that our league start has been pretty decent, and would be very promising indeed if we can add three more points on Sunday?
-

Charming.

But you are also a Villa fan ergo you are also a twat. yes?

I'm thinking about hanging the washing out but not sure if it will rain. What do you reckon?

Yawn.

Yes, I think to be called a twat for being a Villa fan will have me tearing the bed sheets in the small hours in a fever of guilt and self blame.
-
I think werewolves are twats, they're just angry Richard Keys-alikes.
There, I've said it.

So a few people commenting on an internet thread makes all Villa twats? You may want to work on your friend making skills.

Of course it doesn't. It's odd that you would all hang off what is clearly a sweeping and exaggerated line, rather than focusing on the actual point I'm making.
Again, I find threads like this, where people are apparently fantasising about hypothetical negative scenarios, to be strange, and possibly indicative of a trait that seems prevalent among many Villa fans to be negative for the sake of being negative.
The last few years have been shit. Wednesday was shit. But I think, on the whole, we're showing signs of improvement. Put simply, criticise them for things that have actually happened, not for events which may (or may not) occur in the future.
-
I don't know what is odd about people responding to being called a twat. You can, and did the second time, make your point without resorting to the twat comment.
-
It's a thread taking the piss out of a manager seemingly hell bent on breaking as many negative club records as he can. It's light hearted and actually not critical of anyone.
-
I am yet to post on this thread but i am a twat, and i am comfortable in my twat skin. I wouldn't really take this thread too seriously ....
.... Least minutes ever on MOTD.

Fair enough. Though, seeing as I've already been compared to Richard Keys here, I'll use the 'it was banter' defence.
-
Not my argument, but I'm guessing the Richard Keys comment is just the fact that he's a bit hairy and you've called yourself Villa Werewolf. I'm not sure that grinding out a one nil against Stoke, not getting a shot on target against NooCASTLE and losing to Leyton f'in Orient means we've suddenly turned a corner, but what do I know, I'm just a twat who supports the Villa.

Do I count as a twat for imagining we would win the FA Cup this season?

Well, as we are still in it........no you do not count as a twat

Well, yes, I understood the Keys reference :-/
And where exactly have I claimed we have 'turned the corner'?
A very strange post indeed.

If you understood the Keys reference then you knew you weren't being compared to him, so the post where you said you were was also a very strange post. Just stop being rude if you don't want people to be rude to you. And yes, I overdid the suggestion you thought we'd turned the corner, you said we'd made a pretty decent start. I still think a scraped win v stoke and no shots on target v Newcastle is a pretty average start. I do accept the no goals conceded is a positive.
-

What in the name of God are you on about?! I only brought up the Keys thing to make the 'banter' quip. I'm entirely unsure why you seem fixated on it so.
Go home Mike, you're drunk.
-
The first time a team fields 11 outfield players against us, the opposition manager deciding a goalkeeper is superfluous.
-
I miss read the tittle of this thread. I thought it said New Lambert Mill Stones and was about some more signings.
-
I too misread the title of the thread as New Lambert Maelstroms. Surely I though the Twats have not started another thread about going round and round on ever decreasing circles until ultimately going down.

No, he's a twat apparently.

Fuck this thread! Despite Wednesday set back we have had a solid start so there is no need to be negative for the sake of it ::)

Clean sheet today and it's the first time we've kept three clean sheets at the start of the season since 1900.

I think it's a Brummy thing, I am like this about everything.

LOL - if you supported Villa long enough, you'll know there will always be those with negative views. I said once before - we would sign Messi and someone would gripe he was too old!
Stupid thread basically

Or alternatively are people who have different views to yours.
I reckon we will lose to a lower league team in the cup again. Oh no that's already happened.

Sure, but if the result was 0-0 then you just watch that clear sheet being turned into a negative!

To be fair to the Werewolf, I too thought it was a bit much criticising Lambert for stuff we've made up.
-
Okay let's see how many times he says fantastic today.

I was thinking more of failing to get the ball into the box, first Premier League team to lose to Orient, that kind of thing.

Apparently we have never started the premier league with 3 clean sheets. There's a good one Lambo can achieve.

Seen it somewhere, but I believe you have to go back to 1900 to find when we last achieved it. These opening two equal a record that's stood since the '30s.

why the positivity!

Paul Lambert hails Aston Villa's start to the season as "fantastic" after earning a 2-1 win over Hull at Villa Park.
Only once to be fair.
-
Three clean sheets is a great start to the league season, especially given how weak we've been at the back in recent years. I still think we should let the assistant manager take charge of cup games though, like most other teams do with their second choice goalies.
-

Can't even get that right, the useless bastard.
-
He's probably got the record for the most brown-nosed comments towards a chairman
-
Close to three clean sheets.
I suppose we'll have to settle for the joint best Villa start to a Prem Lge season ever!

He will score too many goals. That's not to our liking.
-
I had the coldest cheeseburger of my life in the Holte yesterday. Lambert out.
-
Three clean sheets is a great start to the league season
When I woke up this morning, I was convinced we'd won 2-0. Oh well.
-
Latest transfer deadline signing?
-
Latest transfer deadline signing?
Seems so. Which unfortunately means we can't take the p***out of Arsenal every transfer window. Lambert out.

Am I still a twat?
