Just when you think that things couldn't get any worse....

Why would Allardyce be more likely to keep us in the division than Lambert? 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!

I think he has found that width is not the devil in the past few games and that pace outwide is a danger to anyside and we've looked a lot better for it.

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!

A few wins would soon put you right.

How about the Villa win six or seven more games this season, we don’t get relegated and we don’t get Alladyce.

I'm pretty sure Allardyce will hold out for the Arsenal job.

No chance, big eck is nailed on for that!

Deal.

I don't think anybody would disagree with that, I just think the first requirement is a bit unlikely.  Six or seven more points maybe.

So, Allardyce has requested contract talks as he's worried about the silence from the board.

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.

Gold already made clear there will be contract talks at this moment in time and big sam must either like it or lump it - i think gold and sullivan have already made their minds up.

Gold just used him to get out of the Championship, then probably felt like he had to give him another year, or he thought Sam would keep them up. I don't think Allardyce will take them (or us) on to another, higher level next season. He will not be managing a team in Claret and Blue next season.

How has this got to 30 pages? Anyone would think there was the tiniest morsel of truth in it.

I had a peek earlier at the thread on the spammers board from the OP. It now bears a striking resemblance to this one!

Saying we'll only get 6 or 7 more points is blatantly ridiculous.  After 26 games we have 24 points, so we'd roughly need to be twice as bad for the rest of the season for that to happen.

The maths is actually quite simple - match or better the results of the clubs below us.  And with QPR and Wigan we even have a bit of margin for error in that.

I can't believe I have just read the words 'silence' and 'West Ham board' in the same sentence.
