Baggies lost, perhaps they'll take Lambert off our hands

[Dante Lavelli]

Silly me. I originally thought we'd huff and puff our way to a dreary draw. But the moment I saw Lambert, hunched, mumbling, and running down the FA Cup in his brainless press conference, I knew we were done for. It doesn't matter how the press twisted his words, or what he really meant. What on earth did he think the reaction was going to be to what he was saying? Did he not think about how it would come across? His whole demeanour at that press conference had ALREADY BEATEN, LET'S GET IT OVER WITH written all over it. What must the players have thought? Disgraceful.

Completely agree.

Typically how long does it take for the post match interviews to take place.  The press are quite rightly going to be all over him.
Normally you can imagine a logical script which a manager could reel off, but quite honestly, I cannot think of anything he can say which will not damage his credibility.   When that happens you know you're a 'brown bread' man walking.

Regular relegation battles, regular cup exits to lower league clubs, regular piss taking from fans of local rivals even when they are in a worse position, regular ridicule and pity by national and local media, fuckin hell its miserable.

I really think I'll die without seeing us win the FA Cup.

Me too. The one trophy my old man never got to see us win too (57 he was only 10 and couldn't get down to see it). I still remember 2000...

Murphy has never been a neutral media person, always anti Villa whenever possible, all his observations and comments are Villa negative

I don't need the media to tell me how shit we are.

We today he can fill his boots..plenty negative stuff.

I've said it many time on here over the last couple of seasons, this is the worst squad of players I've ever seen assembled at our club. The saddest thing for me is that even after the humiliations Lerner and Lamber have put us through there are still some that think there's some kind of genius plan at work. Well there isn't (in my opinion), Lerner has lost interest and is running the club on a shoestring and the club and fans are suffering for it.
The sooner he sells up the better.

Lerner and Lambert out!

It's just a shame we make it so easy these days.

We are a laughing stock far too often, and it's all self inflicted.

To be fair you don't have to put an angle on anything to make it negative about Villa, the club is doing that by itself.

It has been made clear you won't with this guy in charge.

[Matt Collins]

I've supported lambert. I've wanted to believe. But I'm on the verge of turning I must say. The only thing holding me back is the feeling that with three managers in a row struggling, will the fourth succeed and what on earth would they do with our squad given we don't have much cash. It does feel like we will get relegated sooner or later

Didn't see the game today, but it sounded awful. Did Shef utd really look more composed on the ball than us?

I'm really getting sick of being embarrassed by villa.

 That's right, Life as a Villa Fan !  Never been any different, even when we have been great the media ignored us!
