HT Villa 0-1 League 1 Sheffield United. Villa booed off. Lambert getting a lot of flak off trinity rd stand as he walks by

It's getting to the point of no return.

I keep saying he just needs for one to go in off his arse to get him going but it's getting to the stage where I'm starting to wonder whether Benteke was just a one season wonder.

There are barely any signs that he is a quality player playing poorly. He just looks poor.

I'm sure he just needs one etc... but I'm worried  :-\

Lerner is not going to sack him.

He'll probably be on the phone to him tonight, telling him not to worry, everything is ok.

What needs to happen is collectively, they need to wake the fuck up and realise that this cheap dross approach is not working.

Signing Bent saved Houllier's job. I reckon the only thing that'll save Lambert is a recognisable signing too.

One of our goalscorers scored at Carrow Rd to put Fulham 1 up!!!
must have bounced in off his arse cos he's crap
I wish we could have one that bounces in off someone's arse!
Unfortunately from 40 yards out that becomes incredibly difficult.
but not impossible if you have Steve Simms playing for you

How can we accept a manager that deliberately chooses to come out from the FA cup?

Possibly not a 14 year old playing for FC Bicycle Clip in the Czech third division, either.

We're just looking like an awful side. Our scouting isn't up to much, as you say these players we're signing are just garbage.

Surely there must have been a better option than Tonev for Baker

No chance sadly, he's here for the long run whatever that might bring.

This lad sounds a distinct improvement on the current lot, who is he?
