Aston Villa v West Ham United Post-Match Thread

Put me down for a 180 mile round trip. I think I know every square inch of Tarmac on the M6.

I said it after the transfer window shut that we were a few injuries and few shite results away from being right back into the thick of the relegation battle. Randy and Lambert made the gamble at that stage and it seems to have backfired since. Going to be another tricky run into the end of the season for us.

witton....think that was me in Tesco car park....2 mugs travel from preston every game!

[olaftab]

I travel precisely 6 miles there and 6 back so admire all of you who travel a long way to support the team. Thank you.

I've said it before but I want to say it again, because it makes me feel slightly better. We're a club desperately in need of a brain. There's that Einstein quote about the definition of insanity being doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. But I'd say that's also a definition of stupidity. At the moment, we're like Laurel and Hardy, the stupid leading the stupid. Nobody knows when to stop and say, whoah, this shit ain't working.

There's a sad naivety about us, like a very old man whose mind is going, we refuse to admit the mistakes we're making. We think we can carry on as normal, but everybody else can see if we carry on driving the car like this, sooner or later we're going to crash.

It's sad because we all know that Lambert is only still at the club for two reasons. 1) We're doing the bare minimum to survive (so far), and he's bought into the 'plan'; and 2) We're petrified of sacking the manager, because we know we're hopeless at appointing new ones. I mean, can any of us really stomach another embarrassing manager search courtesy of Lerner and Faulkner?

We're in a sorry mess and, until we find someone with a brain to sort it all out, it could get much sorrier.

Wise words, James.

Wise words indeed.

I caught the train there and got a lift back. I'm unsure of the mileage.

[leylandalbion]

My travel is with 3 under 10s who do my nut in after dross like that

[VillaAlways]

My cousin came all the way from Canada to see this utter dross . The sad thing was he wasn't surprised
Utter shit Villa, as is the norm but has now somehow become completely acceptable

A disgrace

200 mile round trip in foul weather to watch that inept excuse for entertainment. I can't see why Lambert can't see what 90% of the fans can:
No width
No creative midfield
Poor defence.
Why doesn't Albrighton start?
Why was Lucuna not subbed?

Credit to the Villa fans - very passive about the faecal material served up at VP & more so then manager.

Back to the wine.

If you are the fella I spoke to in the Holte car park I should have said how much I respect you doing that trip - I only travel 30 miles - respect and commiserations ;-)

Not me I'm afraid. However I'll guess my 200 mile round trip is only 6-8 times per year. Some on here go every week!

What is it with Preston and Villa? ;-)

[Dave Clark Five]

Strange how we haven't reached high tide yet with all the happy clappers clubbing together. What time is that expected to occur? I need to put the sandbags out.

Who is that? Can I have a clue please?

[Des Little]

He's some kind of American illusionist I think.

I know people are saying there are worse teams than us but I'm worried, Norwich picked up a good point today, we've got them at home, we've got Cardiff, Newcastle away. In March we've got man United, man city and Chelsea can't see us getting anything and were only 4 points clear of relegation
