I sit in the North Stand as well. Bloody nightmare.

The problem wth the north stand is that it combines dreadfully impaired leg room, guaranteeing no physical comfort for 90 minutes, with an infuriatingly decent view of the pitch, and the grimness which inevitably unfolds there.

Quote from: David_Nab on December 15, 2013, 08:31:01 PMQuote from: Mister E on December 15, 2013, 08:14:07 PMSorry to repeat what I've written on the post-match thread, but it's the way I feel right now.As a ST holder, I’m pissed off: having supported Lambert’s candidature as manager and welcomed his appointment, I’m at a point where I think he has reached a bit of an impasse. Today we faced a Utd team which could have been taken down by a side with energy, passion and verve. Instead, we saw a team that proved to be every bit as flaky as other Villa sides of the last three years. Luna, Sylla and Baker were, simply, hopeless. All three made mistakes that turned into goals for a side that was not particularly threatening otherwise.Along with Luna, Sylla and Baker, KEA is not a Premiership player. Furthermore, Benteke is going through what seems to be a nightmare of a self-confidence crisis. And the ball retention of this team is awful.Taken all into account Lambert really does not seem to know what to do about it all: his tactical options are limited; his substitutions are too little too late; his half-time talks seemingly ineffectual. The choice of MF seems to me to be critical in top-class footie these days: today, we saw a poor Sylla and a limited KEA team up, with Gardner and Bacuna on the bench. I said before the game, I’d love to have seen the youthful and technically-capable Bacuna and GG play as a breath of fresh air, alongside Westie. Lambert stuck with the tried and tested … but ultimately fallible.Let’s hope Vlaar and Delph make the difference we need them to, otherwise we’re knackered this season. And we need to make some astute January acquisitions - not "another one for the future" or "from the bargin-basement department". Everton, whom I thought might have struggled this season, pulled two fantastic season-long loans out of the bag and are prospering - any chance of Lambert doing this?? - nah, thought not.Tell you what Barry as a holding midfielder protecting the defence would have made a huge difference !! Yeah. Ronaldo would've been useful too. Unfortunately we can't force players to sign for us.

Well, if you have been a Villa fan Pre Sky days you'll know we can bear loads. Like being a Junkie, "Is this our low point" Not on your Nelly. We are showing an improvement on last season, things still aren't right in areas....In Lambert we trust. UTVFFS I've seen Stainrod in a Villa shirt. Jeez I've seen Steve fuckin Foster in a Villa shirt.

Stainrod could definitely fill a Villa shirt, were you there when he tried to dive for a penalty in front of the Holte? now that was desperate.
