It does say a lot about the way we've played under Lambert. 2-1 up in a vital game in the 90th minute and 4 players go pissarsing up the other end of the pitch by themselves in search of a third.

Just listening to TSM on the radio and he has been complimentary towards the club, the team and PL. He remembers Benteke being scouted for the summer, last year and thinks that Bent, when fit, has found it difficult to get into the team this season mainly because of Benteke, Weimann and Gabby playing together in the fluid and exciting way they do. 'It's clear that the team is playing to suit Benteke - Bent doesn't really add a lot in this system, even if he [started every game] with Benteke.'When asked, he said that Bent should probably be on his way in the summer, but that Benteke would be a target, of course, so the priority for PL was to hang on to him. Some generous and entirely non-bitter comments from a gentleman, despite attempts by the interviewer to get him to comment about the Benitez situation as a way of getting into his own experiences with the VP crowd.I still agree that it was best that he went, though, I know the club survived last season in the PL but it was at a cost. Justified, hopefully by PL's new-look team keeping the club up this season and developing onwards and upwards the next.

I thought the presenter's attempts to lead TSM towards saying what he wanted to hear, that we'd all had it in for him from day one, verged on shamelessness. Credit where it's due. I don't think anybody could ever question the man's character. Pity, then, about his style of football.
Quote from: Somniloquism on April 07, 2013, 10:42:08 AM I'm glad Christian took it on himself. Any other time in that situation we would have passed to Sylla who is offside. I'm also glad the two were that side as it meant Begovic leaned that way anticipating the pass and Benteke had the right side to score in. Just imagine if he had missed and Stoke had gone up the other end and equalised. It's a thin line and all that...

I thought the guy (McLeish) was a gentleman, no doubt about it. Good luck to him.
McLeish is always very complimentary about the Villa, and i salute him for his integrity and dignity.It was a mistake appointing him, but every time i see /hear him on the media i like him.Sorry if that's not the general consensus, but i like the man.
@DarrenBent: buzzing with the win yesterday great result fans were amazing
Everybody on the planet knows what a good signing Benteke was, but I think we have a hell of a player in Westwood too.

I like him more than MON as an ex manager. It was a mistake to appoint him but I wish him well in the future.
