Aston Villa v Newcastle United Post-Match Thread

[Lky]

Is Lambert completely deluded.

Standing Ovaation at the end oof the game ?
Did anyway else bar the manager see this ?

[Somniloquism]

One thing this did seem to show. Pardew is definitely not that good a manager for allowing his team to be so dominated so much after the first half. The only thing going for him was the experience of what subs when to take momentum away.

An improved second half but it's all just so bloody frustrating to watch, this is not the first game this season where I have felt like I could actually kill someone with my bare hands afterwards.

The non-buying of players in January just takes the biscuit and sadly I think it's too late now. Looking at the upcoming fixtures I can't see us staying up unless we get some incredible good luck from somewhere.

I might skip watching the game against Everton and do something more relaxing instead, such as having someone hammer large, rusty nails into my neck and face.

Player of the match was the Newcastle GK.

Not for me. Sissoko IMHO.

Sissoko by a distamce.

Nothing wrong with that flags statement at all. It just maybe to late though.

Needed to be in thicker letters and address it to someone. "Lerner Save our...." makes more of a statement as if he is shown a pic, he would know the fans are turning on him. At the moment it either looks like a plea to potential owners (who won't come in until they can get us on the cheap after relegation if there are any out there), or a prayer to Jebus in the sky which might have more affect then Lerner has the last few months.

Shit colour for a bed sheet though,and shit size. Could have gone to the expense of buying a king size one, ffs and a better colour.

we cant get our protest sheet right ,  we are all doomed i tells ya

They omitted a crucial apostrophe aswell.

[Des Little]

Relegated by bad grammar

This is a war crime in my opinion.

Bannan gets harsh treatment in my opinion.  I live abroad so don't get back to many games these days but I was at the Hawthorns the other week and everything was Bannan's fault.  And I mean EVERYTHING.  I think he has definite ability but his confidence is clearly in tatters at the moment.  He also needs to play further forward where he can pick passes, he's also a very decent crosser from open play.

One thing I can't fathom is people claiming he's lazy.  He works his face off every game as far as I can see.

He and Westwood were massively swamped in the first half but it was hardly their fault.

On a separate note - I love Weimann and think he will go on to have a great career.  He has a fantastic attitude.

Got to agree. Bannan put more of a shift in tonight than Ireland has in all the time he's been here.

Should he be praised for putting in a shift?

Yes.

Big strong assertive DCM. What we have been crying out for.  Easily man of the match. Can only really recall the save from Weimann

Yes.

Thats what hes paid to do- its the very minimum required.

[Billy Walker]

I haven't thrown in the towel just yet.

Same here.  There's fourteen (?) games left to play, we've just got to keep digging deep.  It is far too early to give up!

Pat Murphy interviewed Lambert whilst I was on the way back down the M5 after the match. When Pat suggested the system he played in the 1st half was all wrong, Lambert replied "It's nothing to do with systems". What?! When he suggested the Villa are in a fight (to avoid relegation), Lambert replied "You're in a fight". Not "I'm in a fight" or "We're in a fight" but "You're in a fight"!! Blind, Clueless, Spineless, Useless Bastard!!!

It's that sort of attitude that makes me actually hate him.

Maybe but i don't think there's anything wrong with saying a player has worked hard, which he did.
