Lambert in or out? Poll reset with majority 'in', 7th May

[Rip Van We Go Again]

55 pages in and nobody has put anything like a convincing argument forward for moving him on.

Worst start to a season ever, record defeat, record goals conceded, a point above relegation zone, fewest home wins, lowest goal scorers etc.
No convincing argument then?

No.

Just you and Risso whining on like a couple of impatient old tarts.

Oooh, ageism and sexism!

At least he didn't tell you and Risso to fuck off.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Time to calm down I reckon.

As hilts said earlier, if you don't want to hear criticism of Lambert, avoid this thread, there are plenty of other ones to look at.

[Legion]

Time for a cooling-off period I think.

[Legion]

Clean slate time.

[damon loves JT]

I love it when people get self righteous and arsey. It's so Christmassy

[bertlambshank]

Who is going to blink first?

[Brend'Watkins]

I'm undecided as to who I tell to fuck off first.

[not3bad]

A Happy New Fuck Off to all!

[Rip Van We Go Again]

What sort of fuckery is this?

[PaulWinch again]

I want Lambert to continue and I think the focus on youth is the right way to go. The only thing I'd say to him is that without the present being solid, the promising future won't ever materialise.

[Concrete John]

What sort of fuckery is this?

I think it's quite blatant fuckery.

[Dave Clark Five]

Has anyone taken their coat off yet? Aaahtside!

Paul Lambert is relishing leading Villa into the "prestigious" FA Cup competition, with a third round tie against Ipswich Town on Saturday.

Lambert is under no illusions as to the size of the task with the Championship outfit eager for a top-flight scalp.

But the Villa boss is hoping his team can let go of their league shackles and turn on the style in the third round encounter, which kicks-off at 3pm.

He said: "We are looking forward to the cup games now. There's not the same pressure in the cups as there is in the league.

"We have two massive cup matches and we will try and get through.

"It will be really hard. It always is. The FA Cup is a prestigious competition. It will be a tough game."

Lambert hopes Villa can build on the positives of the Swansea draw.

The gaffer insists he's trying to get results while, at the same time, rebuilding the football club.

He's happy with how it's started, despite the festive blip.

He added: "There are positives. I have a lot of faith in what I'm doing and I won't deviate from it. It's my belief that they will keep doing it.

"I can't fault them for their effort, even in getting beaten heavily in the three games. We have kept their spirits up.

"I work with them every day, I know what they're like and when they're feeling high or down. You try to pick them up. But against Swansea, especially in the second half, I thought they were really good.

"We have to build the football club as well as get results. That's the way it is.

"We are trying to do that in the best way we can. That's what we continue to do. It's for the future of the football club."

Because it's lies.
