Seems pointless picking on individual players but I think Weiman must have something on Lambert. He has been truly dreadful since the start of the season but surpassed himself today. Hard to believe he's a professional footballer.

I've been going since 71 but could weep with anger and frustration at what has happened to tho club in the last two or three years. I really wish I didn't care.

I was just about to post about Weimann. I think today I saw the definitive bad performance by a Villa player. To be fair I thought he was putting in the effort but I can't recall him doing anything right whatsoever. It is staggering how far he has fallen.

The thing is now that I don't even get the piss taking texts off people when we suffer our next inevitable humiliation.

 No My Southampton supporting mates and plastic southerners don't bother either, it's too easy for them! There's no sport in it for them!

I know a Southampton fan from Northern Ireland through work. I don't know him well enough for him to know I am a villa fan and I  only discovered he was a Southampton fan when he added me on twitter. Anyway, long story short, a few weeks ago I broached the subject of him being a Southampton fan but before I got a chance to tell him I was villa he burst into a long rant about how pissed off he was they lost to'fucking Aston Villa an absolutely dire side knocking on the door of relegation for years'.

He was really embarrassed and apologetic when I sheepishly told him I was Villa. But, that's how we are seen. An Arsenal fan I know doesn't tease me anymore. Just comes in with a sympathetic look on a Monday and  a 'yee will be fine' after the latest loss.

Paul Lambert can do without the FA Cup. 

Aston Villa can probably do without Paul Lambert too.

I was surprised to see OGS go to Cardiff but maybe on meeting lerner last year and hearing how he wanted the club to be run he was perhaps somewhat wise to give us a wide berth .
Perhaps he wasn't impressed by Lerner ?

It's obvious. He was informed of what his budget would be at Villa, burst out laughing and quickly left.

I didn't think he was offered the job

Lerner wants the debts down to a manageable level before he sells. The bright future consists of staying above water until that happens. Meanwhile we pay our money to watch that fucking shite week after week after week.

This once proud football club is a now a national joke.

Lambert is a dead man walking, irrespective of the remainder of the season. Season ticket sales will be the final nail, once the fans turn there's no way back. In some ways you could feel sorry for him because he's stuck between our expectations and the limitations being put on him by Lerner. But putting these aside, like the squad he has assembled, he's clearly out of his depth.

Unfortunately the only thing that Lerner et al seem to care about and react to, are finances. They don't care if they serve up utter drivel week after week as long as people keep paying the money to watch it.

Haven't read the rest of the opinions yet, so my first question must be, in the time is has taken me to get home, has that twat been sacked yet?
In the 12 months since the Bradford debacle, he has learned the sim total of fuck all.
Yet another embarrassment brought on the club by him, how many more do we need to endure?

Fuck him off now, and take the shower of shite on the pitch with him.

He was flown over by Lerner for talks and then he rang lerner and said he didn't wish to be considered anymore - wasnt offered the job but probably would have been had he wanted it .

Weimann got the comfy new contract and has never been the same. The hunger, pace, everything has gone and now looks totally disinterested.

Weiman has been playing awful for months now, we can all see that Tonev is not up to it but Lambert just keeps playing them

It doesn't hurt. That's what bothers me. Been telling everyone all week we would lose. Who says Aston Villa are unpredictable. I got into  the Villa two years after the relegation season. With the exception of a couple of defeats to Blues in the early 2000s and the 4-0 at home to Blackburn early in 1997-98 season I can honestly say all the lowest points for me as a Villa supporter have occurred in the last two years under Paul Lambert. We can knock McCleish all we like but he had one season, Lamberts had nearly two and fuck me this is worse.

7 at chavski, fulham, doncaster, burnley, sheff utd, leicester, qpr. All low points before Lambert.

We're those results over an 18 month period like it is with Lambert?

If you bothered to read my posts you'd realise I'm not defending Lambert at all. Simply pointing out that there are a depressingly high number of low points following Villa. Regardless of who is manager.

Of course you're defending him, it's all you ever do. The difference between Lambert and other Villa managers is that under Lambert there's been nothing but low points during his tenure. Wake up and smell the coffee, the club is in decline no matter how much some of us fall for the "young and hungry" lie.

My boss is a Nose. You can imagine how the last 12 months have been for me most Monday mornings.

Lambert won't be sacked. Lerner has no higher expectations than this. They may as well be laughing in your face. Oh to be a Cleveland browns fan.

That's the scary part.

Given how his club are doing I would have thought he would be keeping his head down.
