Don't blame the manager

[Chipsticks]

Lambert has seen how vile our support can be at the end of last season.

I imagine the Norwich supporters' reaction to him will be a lot more "vile" at the weekend!

I'd doubt it, there's probably a far few of Norwich fans who appreciate how far he took them, and that he was never going to stay there forever - perhaps a bit like MON with us. (Although I'd say he probably accomplished more than MON did)

You're kidding aren't you?  Colchester fans despise him, as do Norwich fans now.  And from a quick trawl of their forums, they don't rate us very highly either:

"His name was Lambert, he was our hero
We would never fail to score, just listen to the Barclay roar
We played four-three-three, we played the diamond
And while Grant Holt became a star, John Ruddy always tended bar
Up the league we soared, the Premier League was our reward
He was young and we all loved him -
And still he wanted more -

Yes, he's Paul Lambert
He was a winner
And then he f*cked off to Aston Villa
Hoofball without passion is always the fashion
At Villa.... and they are sh*te.

That's Villa, yes, Aston Villa
The sh*ttest team west of Manila...."

I wonder who are the shittest east of Manilla.

Wow, that certainly surprises me. I won't pretend to actually know anything of what they think, just I assumed they still liked him for what he did. Song seems a bit petty.

Also, how is 'Hoofball without passion is always the fashion at Villa'. We've aimed to play attractive, attacking football for a long, long time aside from last season.

You're just saying what a lot of non-Villa fans say about us and Martin O'Neill though.  That we should be grateful even though they did the dirty.  Football fans aren't like that.

Very good article .

[Clampy]

Whilst it raised some fair points, the sarcasm regarding Lowton at the start was a bit uncalled for and overall it could be argued that it was the usual pessimistic from the Mirror.

I'm entitled to my opinion Eastie, if you don't like it then maybe you should refrain from posting links for people to comment on.

Good man clampy , you know how much I enjoy your comments .
Unusual to get a villa article not written by nursey in the mirror but I agree there were some valid points made.

Good article. Shame about the dig at Lowton but Pravda could have attributed the quotes to a more senior player.

I can't see that they're having a dig at Lowton at all, and are instead rightly ridiculing the use of him as the voice for a typically meaningless official site bit of nonsense.

That's what I was getting at.

It was in a way i think. Just because he was playing in the lower leagues last season dose'nt mean his view on this season is not valid.
