Lambert Out?

Tuesday's match thread was just like every other match thread.

It's like being at the match and the people around moan all the fucking time, then when you get a winner with 10 minutes to go, they're happy. Only with match threads, it's all recorded for posterity. Not exactly hugely controversial.

If we're going to get all high-horse about a few people slagging Albrighton off on here, god only knows what we think those who actually booed at the match when he put his cross into the stands should be punished with.

Man the fuck up.**

I was more relieved than happy, but you make a good point.

[JUAN PABLO]

how much would we get for Albrighton now?   

can we throw him in for Ince for a deal.

[silhillvilla]

Moaning and fickleness is all part of the DNA of a football supporter, for anyone in any doubt I suggest you listen to 606 for an hour on any given Saturday evening

Albrighton :

I've seen him play and he's been motm many times. In fact I've walked to the ground and recommended he play in front of Young and Downing on the basis he created more and scored more. Clearly times have changed and his recent performances have not been good.

I would recommend that we give him the benefit of the doubt in the short term at least. Admittedly its in the past but he's performed better than Ireland, Nzogbia and Holman have ever done.

Maybe its because he's a local local lad and a villa fan but I reckon he's worth sticking with.

Here's hoping ...

When I'm at the match I moan, groan and cheer with everyone else. If I had to stop to type out my moans, groans and cheers then I probably wouldn't bother. I steer clear of the match threads in the main because I find the ranting all a bit unnecessary (in the nicest possible way etc) but I'm sure they serve a purpose for those who join in.

So my life changing advice would be, if you don't like them don't read them.

[Percy McCarthy]

Listen to 606? I'd rather listen to Coldplay.

Actually, fuck that. When's it on?

For every penny we've ever put into the club, or every sunday morning that's been ruined by the afternoon before, or anytime we signed a player like Heskey instead of the more promising ones papers had linked us too earlier, we are more than entitled to have the odd pissy moan on a match thread or in the stadium. I thought a lot of the Reading thread was actually in good (if frustrated) humour. Certainly if there's ever been a poisonous match thread on these boards, it wasn't the last game.

Agee with all of that.  Also not sure why the match thread comes in for special criticism in the negativity stakes?  Any thread when we're not playing well has the propensity to get a little moody!!

Exactly.

Agreed.

The Reading match thread was my way of following what was going on, combined with the BBC website live football page, for a bit of balance. The BBC page gave the impression in the first half that we were on top and that we were quite comfortable. I switched over to the match thread thinking great, there'll be a goal coming along soon, and my first thought when I got there  was, 'Bloody hell, I'm glad I'm not watching this!' It was all good fun though, especially Fergal's calling of the goal a few seconds before it went in and then - I think it was - Cooper's 'I'm not even at the ground and I want my money back!'.

In general, I think the match threads give the impression that we are either useless or world beaters, but they are good fun to follow.

They're like a visual interpretation of a Tom Ross commentary.

It took me ages to figure it out, but you really need to take everything said on them with a grain of salt. Superlatives! Superlatives and Hyperbole everywhere!

I have been positive and tried my best to believe that we will start to climb up the table and with a few quality additions to the team will finish comfortably mid table...
