The players we have were not bought with his style of anti-football, where everything is reduced to the lowest common denominator, in mind. Well Lambert hasn't got them playing well in any discernible style, so I'm not sure what you base that on. At least Allardyce would organise the defence, something that Lambert has failed to do all season long.Just because you're unable to discern it, doesn't mean it isn't there. ;¬)Perhaps you could let the players know what the style is then, as they seem as unable to see it as me!

We'll have to agree to disagree, Kevin. As a parting shot I'd like to say that the thought of turning up at Villa Park and having that fat bastard introduced as our new manager is the stuff of nightmares, I honestly think I'd prefer relegation!
I'm pretty sure Allardyce will hold out for the Arsenal job.
How about the Villa win six or seven more games this season, we don’t get relegated and we don’t get Alladyce.

So, Allardyce has requested contract talks as he's worried about the silence from the board.
How has this got to 30 pages? Anyone would think there was the tiniest morsel of truth in it.

Six or seven more points maybe.At half time against Newcastle I would have agreed, but I think something has changed.There was a genuine resilliance and a real competative streak against West Ham, plus some very good play against Newcastle second half and Everton.We have enough quality up front and Charlie has come to the party at last. Despite how bad it has been since mid-December, where the wheels fell off like nothing we've seen in a generation, we are still out of the bottom three.
