Ciggiesnbeer, this is not the time to be taking the piss.

Sorry, I have managed to find my midweek optimism a few days early :)

I like us buying inexperienced players that could prove to be world beaters rather than players like Beye, Collins, Heskey, Steve Stone etc etc.
I'd like us buying anyone rather than players like Beye, Collins, Heskey, Stone etc.  But which of Lambert's signings do you really think will prove to be world beaters?

I said could be. Doesn't mean they are or will be.
Yes, and I said which do you think will be?

Knee jerk. Voted in. Behind Lambert and trust that he will fix this and get us playing well.

Any team would struggle without their two main centre backs and their star striker playing like he doesn't want to be there.

If we buy the ACM we need in January I think we'll do well.

Not having a go at anyone but I do feel some of the criticisms of PL are a tad reactionary.

Well you managed to get a small smile out of me for the first time since 1.40pm today. "Tactically modern and flexible"... go easy on the pills.

Fuck me, how hard is it to grasp? I haven't said any of them will be. Just that chances are increased by buying 20 year olds from around Europe rather than 27 year PL players that everyone knows what they can do.

Calm down dear, it's only a question.  I know you haven't said any of them will be; that's what I'm asking you to say.  Which do you think will become world beaters?  Some of them?  Any of them?  Which ones?

It's a pretty simple question really.  I'm asking you for your opinion.

I'll ask a question. If he went, who would replace him?

I voted to shake him all about - if this "style" of play continues over the next 4 matches and he does not buy well in January then there is something very wrong at VP

Depends when he went, how much Randy was prepared to pay to get the guy he wanted, how much transfer money the new guy would get, etc etc.

Has anyone come up with a reason yet for keeping him other than who else is there and theres no money anyway?

You say that as if they weren't valid reasons for not sacking him: unfortunately they are!

As far as I'm concerned, I have to give him the benefit of the doubt until the summer: sacking him now would be cause too much upheaval and the above reasons for not doing so come into play. We are also 11th in the league, so what's the panic?

They aren't valid reasons because they aren't true. Are you seriously trying to tell me Paul Lambert,poached from Norwich with his 1 season of top flight experience is in all likelihood the best manager in the entire world that we can attract, financial constraints taken into account and that he has spent his £43m very well and got us playing as good football as we can expect from that outlay?

Pull the other one.

Okore and Benteke. Maybe some of the others as well. Who knows. I reckon Bowery will surprise us all. Now stop stalking me or i'll tell Legion.
