Why are people leaping to Culverhouse's defence ? I've not seen an apology from the useless chav yet !!

It doesn't look as if the incident is going to get big enough coverage outside of a couple of forums or twitter, for it to either be completely substantiated, or for Culverhouse to having to do anything about.

He should. The team he is partly responsible is an absolute disgrace and he needs to be told that we won't accept it. I firmly believe that practically every other Prem club would have given him and Lambert their cards by now. We have been more than patient. Shape up or piss off.

Finally I would suggest that Lambert plays an unchanged side against Swansea to give the Palace losers a chance to redeem themselves.
Brilliant post sums up all of mine and many other fans frustration who turn up at VP every other week.
And I like your suggestion on an unchanged team.

Oh he definitely should, but I just can't see it becoming a story outside of say, here and a couple of other villa forums. It's hardly going to be reported on midlands today.

Yesterday I watched a great game of football. Paget Rangers 9-0 Polesworth.

Did you lot enjoy your day as much as I did?

It's a bit unfortunate if you follow the Villa and Polesworth as well !

Shocked that you missed the visit of the mighty boro ;)

No trains. I don't drive to football unless I really have to.

"Let's stop being so nice to Brad Guzan.  His individual performances are good insofar as he is a shot stopper of quality but he must stop slowing down the play and hoofing the ball down the middle of the park.   Roll it out.   Throw it out.   When a keeper has centre backs as young and as lacking in composure and confidence as Clark and Baker he knows they will take the soft option time and time again.   The soft, easy option is the ball back to the keeper.   WHAT THE KEEPER MUST NOT DO is hoof it way over the half way line where it becomes at the very best 50-50 ball and we come under pressure again.   The ball back to the keeper is a legitimate pass only if the keeper makes a pass with it."

I HAVE to believe that he is coached to do this? Surely, he can see the futility of it, so why would it continue? Even if it *is* on Guzan, the manager needs to see the futility of it and tell Guzan to stop doing it. It goes back to the manager, in my opinion.

This is definitely a managerial change. We were playing it from the back last season but this one, it is always hoof up to Benteke/Kozak from a goal kick. Just one of many managerial decisions that is not doing him or the team any favours. The same with the throw-ins have to be made to either striker as well.

Fair enough, draw seemed a decent enough result for both sides .

Two horrendous goalkeeping errors in a poor game from the reports I've seen.

Quite, although I heard both keepers redeemed themselves later .

The Culverhousegate has really angered me. Even mcleish and grant, bearing in mind the abuse they took were totally professional and never had a go back in public. They probably had more grounds to. Who the hell does this Culverhouse bloke think he is ? Can't wait til he's gone, he's a big part of the problem as whatever they do at BH all week must involve practicing 7 or 8 short 5 yard square balls in our own half before one of them launches 80 yards to nobody . Garbage.

If Weimann really did put his finger to his lips as well, he'd better start pulling said finger out if his ample arse and doing something about this utter shit we are putting up with.

Or better yet, go the whole hog and make a fist of it.
