Aston Villa v Newcastle United Post-Match Thread

[Billy Walker]

We're not down yet.  There are points to play for and I feel we will get a few when people least expect it.  We desperately need at least two signings to lift the place, give us more fight and more options - but we all know that.

I thought Barry Bannan stood up to be counted in that second half - there's a very decent player in there. 

[Oscar Arce]

Just got home.
Wet, miserable and angry.
Just heard our manager on the radio state that he's never heard a standing ovation for a side that's lost.
Shambolic tactics, 5 at the back with two midgets battling five acoss the middle, look what happens in the second half you tactical genius when you play with 4 in midfield, two of them wide, you get momentum and everyone knows their jobs.
But what he fuck do I know I've only supported Villa for 50 years.
I thought I'd never see a Villa manager as bad as Billy McBingo, but I was wrong.
Lambert you clueless fucking idiot

The maths are simple. Lerner is either incredibly fucking stupid or disinterested, he cannot be both.

Er, the Bannan joke doing the rounds last week about the Welsh ballboy were never so true as his shooting tonight.  Abject.

Maybe. He has to show more of the same on a regular basis though.

Oh yes he can...

[Mortimer's Bear]

Bannan was no worse that Westwood tonight.

Actually, he could be both disinterested and stupid.

What did that tosser in the Lower Holte's flag say? It'd be nice to know what my opinion is.

[Kent Villian]

I have chucked the towel in - championship here we come - who gives a flying f*ck if where we finish in the bottom 3, fact is we will be in the championship? So lets go out with a bang instead of a wimper and get Sir Brian & JG in NOW to instill some fight/pride and get rid of the b/shit tactics of PL and show our young squad what it should mean to wear the badge - running out to: 

would be a start!!!!!

Bannan is shit!

If it wasn't for me having to write about Villa every week, I would have stopped paying attention weeks ago. I wrote my piece on tonight's game completely dispassionately, like it was happening to somebody else's team. I don't feel I write about Aston Villa anymore, that's for sure.

If I had to choose between Lambert staying and some new signings or Lambert going and no new signings, I'd choose the latter all day long. The second half showed we could have beat them with the right personnel/tactics but TSM (yes, he has taken the title from McLeish and I will address him as that henceforth) was too typically clueless too make the right decisions. He will take us nowhere (other then League One) and needs too leave ASAP. Even though a new manager won't keep us up now, at least he will be able to get to learn about the squad in advance of our promotion push next season.

True.
But at least he wanted the ball unlike some.

[Fin Feds Dad]

Just got back.

Knew the players picked wouldnt be good enough - couldn't pick a formation - but then never can with this bloke.

2nd half much better - gabby was destroying their rightback - so why then did he go and play in a central role ?

We're gone - time to start facing up to it.

No new players in = no desire to try to stay in the league. Thanks Randy .

One other thing - when Steven Taylor was bouncing up and down in front of Guzan , trying to make it difficult for Guzan to communicate with the players in the wall - not one, not fucking one of our players turned round and came to shift him. Shows the team spirit this failure of a manager has instilled in the club. Pathetic.
