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

[peter w]

At no time, even when we were deep in the shit, has any poll had a majority wanting Plumbutt out

Indeed, and that says a lot about us.

I know we would say this, but really, we - us supporters - have been a credit to the club this season, stuck behind the team even when things were going abysmally, stuck behind the manager, seen the bigger picture.

We have still got masses of work to do, and flirting with relegation is not a habit we want to get in to, but we're starting to do something interesting at the club, and I think a lot more people will be keeping an eye on us next season.

agreed but I think the club, or the team, were losing the support until the second-half against Newcastle. From thereafter it changed.

I'm just grateful that it looks like we're going to survive chopping and changing our manager every year. Finally we can have a bit of stability and build on what we have. It's been a long time since we've had a guy who's been with us a whole season, who has seen what's wrong and where and getting the chance to fix it. No time lost looking for a new manager - we can just focus on our transfer business and will presumably have already done a lot of the research.

I honestly don't think they have lost the support at any time. It's impressive stuff, really, when you consider some of the shit we've been served up this season.

Even on here - us, being a bunch of screaming children who get angry about absolutely everything - the support has never dipped away from Lambert.

[Dave Cooper please]

Yeah, it's been a strange one really. On the one hand we spent most of the season, statistically speaking, being worse than anything McLeish produced, yet somehow the majority of us just knew it was worth sticking with. Gut instinct I call it.

[Ger Regan]

Probably helped that he was the fan's choice to take over. Not saying its the only reason, but probably a factor.

I think that shows that statistics only offer so much, because it's clear we're a more exciting side with more potential than we ever were under Mcleish. Although the statistics are shifting into Lambert's favour now as well.

[PeterWithesShin]

Probably helped following on from McLeish as well. Even when we were having shite we were more entertaining to watch than last season.

Get Fergie in...looks like he might be free

Villa is a bit of a step up from Peterborough!

Anything following something that you really didn't like is always going be considered better.

[Chipsticks]

Never have I once voted anything but 'in', and have defended his name to many a fellow Villa fan this season.

Not that I'm a 'told you so' type or anything...

[Drummond]

Risso to the thread, calling Risso to the thread.... ;-)

[claretandbeer]

And some were advocating Dean Saunders,now available.Easy to sack a manager,can be difficult to find a better replacement,ask Mr Moxey.

[not3bad]

There's a question that's been nagging me.  If "Shake him all about" got the most votes, what would we be saying, exactly?

[Brazilian Villain]

In (Lambert we Trust) as it has been all season.

[PeterWithesShin]

I'm not sure that even Roy Keane could have done a better job or signed better players.

I love you Paul *screamed Beatlemania style*
