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.

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.....

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?

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.
