I think it's a combination of many things Louzie, most of which you mention. It's almost as if Lambert has made a list of all the things McLeish, Houllier, O'Neill and O'Leary should have done and ticked them off one by one. It's a pity he left 'give some team a total shellacing on Monday Night Football' until somewhere near the end.With regards the pay rises, maybe it's fair to recognise that the players who are likely to get them are actually worth a good deal more than they are currently being paid regardless of where we currently are in the table. The lower paid ones are after all doing most of the work.
From a PM I sent someone a few days ago "I'm loving watching this Villa team though, been a long time since I have felt such affinity for a Villa team."

This is he first time in a long time I have liked the team as blokes not just players. They seem to care, not be jerks and actually likely to improve in the future.I hope they stay up, dammit they deserve to stay up.
