Aston Villa v Sheffield United Post-Match Thread

[London Villan]

Quite a few posters have described today as a new low and who would argue with that. However I can't help feeling that there will be more 'new lows' before this season is over. Consider impending matches against Arsenal, Liverpool, Everton etc. more humiliation to come I fear.

Thing is we were saying the same last season and that didn't happen, and they know they have to invest. This isn't really a new low when you think of the teams that have knocked us out in the last few years.  It's just another shit day in the cup.

I can only think of two worse in our history than today.

Fulham - at home the game Collymore walked out. At least Fulham were top of the third division that day
Bradford - say no more...

Doncaster

It's up there, but it was away from home in the League Cup. At home to a bottom of the division third level team is plumbing the depths.

You putting up the bunting? You sound happy things are the way they are and you can stick your finger in the face of others claiming you were right all along. Others just wanted to give the project a chance. You never, ever did. That's the bit you are missing entirely.

"The project" *buries head in hands*

Exactly. The "project" was a lie. Cutbacks wrapped up in ribbons. Some of us didn't fall for it and got stick for saying it.

Sadly I think it's time for Lambert to go,  I really don't want us to be one of those clubs who sack the manager every year or so but enough is enough.
Randy should cur his losses and go too, find a buyer and do one.

They both should go. The lack of vitriol aimed at Lerner never ceases to amaze me. Our absentee owner displays all the football nous of a retarded sea cucumber. I can't wait for the day the stupid yank prick fucks off. We're screwed while the retarded septic remains....

Murphy spouting poison again!

I'd be spouting a lot more if I were sat in front of that inept manager. He knows he's bulletproof, unsackable, so a few home truths wouldnt do him any harm.

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

Of course he was!

So you know this as a fact or as an educated guess?

The latter. I doubt if someone would send a private jet half way around the world to someone's backyard to pick him up for an interview if they weren't going to offer them the job.

Mods  Put a stop to that please

Ah yes, some of us...you mean you two. It doesn't what you call it, the measures needed to be taken. Or maybe you think Lerner should have stuck with MON and sent us into oblivion? Neither of you have a solution other than being critical of everything.

Doncaster was a rotten night and a long drive home back to Hampshire!

So you'd be more than happy to throw your money away and lose it it? Top football clubs aren't profit making business's until they're sold on.

Still no managers reaction from VP?

#AVFC remarkably quiet......

[London Villan]

How many morons (me included) were there today, I didn't actually hear the attendance?

I wouldn't read too much into that, worse luck.

The Villa spin machine (and Lambert) have apparently now claimed the journalist that broke the FA CUP GATE story now regrets it. However the journalist himself says he does nothing of the sort. Slightly embarrassing

Yes that's correct. Regan is the journo concerned and he has stood by his story but regrets the fact that other stations plagiarised his words and Villa Press office spent almost 3/4 hours last week pressurising him to drop or heavily modify his story.

[Des Little]

How much longer do we have to suffer Weimann in the team? I can't recall a player showing less effort than him for many a year.

Oh and one more thing......

Who's dumb idea was it to go sober for Jan (oh that'll be me), god I could murder a beer.

THere's little comfort to be had from sparkling water on a day like this
