40 pages. I think we should give Nicky Keye the free role behind John Lerwill.

I think its more to do with the fact that he has a long and consistent record of being a shit pundit that talks out of his arse.

Also, the 'payments to Sunderland' theory has been done to death in the last week, and is probably a load of ol' bollocks

In his pre-match interview, Lambert repeatedly said that he based his selections on "What I see day in and day out on the training ground".
He couldn't have made it any clearer, why Bent was not figuring.

Even if he spent training on a deckchair in the penalty area, he'd be a better bet than Albrighton, who appears to have forgotten how to play football.

But may be doing really well in training and thus making the bench based on the fact he gives us width. In training he might be whipping brilliant balls across. We don't see it.

We see how crap he is in matches though.  He hasn't had a good game in two years.  But anway, it's completely Lambert's choice not to play Bent.  I just hope his pig headedness doesn't lead to relegation and him losing his job over it, as that would be a very expensive price to pay for making a point.

And nothing on the BBC website is ever complete bollocks. Our manager has flat denied it. So have the club. But you chose to believe Lawro? Famed for poor punditry and bad jokes during commentary and out of the game for how many years, with no links to Villa at all. Hmmmmmm.....

What if he is genuinely not making a point, and simply does not see him fitting into the side? It may not be pigheaded, and if we are relegated I am pretty sure he will hold his hands up.

Risso, as a moderator, do you have access to some sort of software that automatically predicts relegation every fifteenth post? If so, can you turn it off? It's been wrong every time but we are getting shitter. It might be the case that it does work but just isn't that good.

Anyway, do you like chatting and DVDs?

Then the bloke needs to look at the table, observe that we are shit at scoring goals and adapt his system so that Bent at least appears on the bench.  Unless of course, Lambert isn't really that great and can't find a way to accommodate a player that at least two thirds of the Premier League would love to have in their team.

I'm not a moderator, sorry.  And I don't believe that I predicted relegation above, just opined that it might be an unwanted side effect of not scoring enough goals.

anybody that believes Bent isnt being sold in January, really needs a kick, no 2,3,4,5 kicks in the balls!!!!!!.

"the 3 games" thing is showing us up for what we are now

a small team fighting relegation

 the last 2 years and now going for a third year in a row has shown that

and yet we still think everything is okay

where is the generals thread to tell us everything is alright?
