The Paul Lambert thread - poll reset after our capitulation to Hull

[Risso]

And i know its irrelevant but Baker looks a right fucking tool with that beard and hair. It just adds insult to injury.

"Hipsterism has historical links to dandyism, where men were concerned only with appearance, considering themselves to be arbiters of taste, culturally elite and endowed with refinement. For many dandies, leisure was their chosen profession. As with the dandy, the hipster represents a softer form of masculinity that is usually expressed through style. Hipsters crave an aesthetic reality, valuing the aesthetic as part of their daily life. This extends across the workplace, the home and social third spaces including restaurants and coffee houses, all of which are, naturally, design-led environments. James Hoffman of Square Mile Coffee Roasters suggests that the notion of hipster is often “thrown at coffee,” describing both the “aloof barista with a carefully cultivated sense of ennui [boredom]” and the customer that is “patiently queuing to buy” their handcrafted coffee. That carefully cultivated sense (of something) is central to the hipster – it is about enlightenment, intellectual awareness and taste."
 
Which is a long way of saying "he looks a bit of a twat".

Stuart McCall has resigned as M-well manager after 5 straight defeats....not 6 like another manager.

[Villa in Denmark]

Scottish manager resigns after run of 5 consecutive defeats.

Unfortunately it's not our Scottish manager, but at least someone's still got a sense of dignity.

That's a really generous definition of a hipster. 'Aesthetic reality'...nope, totally, like, ironic, like, posing, you know? That's the hipster creed.

Here is "hipster" summed up in a photo.

Ugh. That guy is all that's wrong with modern Britain.

I can't decide which I want to do more. Set fire to his jacket or hit his turntable with a hammer.

I had that conundrum. And decided I'd opt for pushing his head clean through that window.

[Louzie0]

Hipster is so much more about a vibe and a time.
Sorry but you have missed it.

Lambert will not change from his narrow football. It will be his ultimate downfall. The danger is when.

Yet the goal today came from the wing

[OzVilla]

He does care but it's more to do with the balance sheet than he team sheet.

Booting Lambert comes at a cost, hiring a new team comes at a cost, investing in new team etc etc etc.

He just wants to sell up and in the meantime spend and do as little as he can get away with.

Relegation is going to come at a huge cost.  Repairing the damage done by Lambert is going to take some doing as well.

That's correct but I think Lerner is just hoping we muddle through again and stay up while he outlays the minimum amount before selling up - after all that's what he's done for the last 3 years or so.

Keeping Lambert keeps the costs down, so long as we can stay up.

It's akin to russian roulette with a Premier League Football Club.

That has to be an actor doesn't it, the nerk with the gramophone on the table?   Is anybody truly that self obsessed?   On the other hand I like the girl, I just hope she is nothing to do with the gramophone enthusiast.   She is actually drinking beer from a glass.   How cool is that.

[mr underhill]

my thoughts exactly. she's very cool and very shagable

[brian green]

You and I have the same tastes Mr U.   Its the spotty frock and boots.   Something about spotty frocks that make you want to explore.

[PaulWinch again]

The most ridiculous thing is that I think that Lambert is probably the most bomb proof manager in the league. I genuinely believe Mourinho has a better chance of being sacked than Lambert.
