Newcastle United v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[pbavfckuwait]

If this was an Ellis charge there would be shouts for blood on the streets, Randy not a clue, Lambert if you only had as much a clue as Randy, when have we accepted crap at Villa Park as not only the norm but the acceptable, we do not want to be creditable now, we just want to be here. Please Randy do one of two things for the benefit of the tatoo on your leg, make us count or go and take Mr. Lambert and Benteke with you, one on the pitch totally unacceptable and the other one of the pitch without a clue.

Norwich has become a massive match now. Which is shit.

They will all be big games from now on...

What evidence do you base this on Tom?

[Ron Manager]

Bertrand must have been injured although it wasnt obvious. Westwood Baker and KEA played well considering the abuse they get. Benteke is not Andy Gray he doesnt appear to be giving it his best shot by a distance. If you select a team to play for a draw thats what happens.

Albrighton has been in excellent form so he doesnt get picked. Its what you expect from Lambert.

A poor manager in charge of a mediocre team.

They've got a horrendous fixture list in March.  They need to beat Norwich at home next week or whenever it is. 

I'm trying to think of a worse side since 87.  Taylor's sides were good Venglos had a good side just not a good coach.  Atkinsons sides were the best I've seen.  Little produced good sides.  Gregory's were good. Maybe the 02-03 era is a candidate under Taylor.  Even O'Leary got them to 5th.Mons teams good.  Houllier got them playing towards end of season.  So it's down to who's worse McLeish or this side.

... And I'm sorry but Bertrand is almost as bad as Luna and Bennett and that IS saying something.

Lambert rubs off on them

Luna was great first two games

The fact that they're bobbins and we have better players than them. They've been even worse than us this season.

this is the worst. end of discussion. style of play alone, this is the worst.

One of those games where you just get angrier and angrier as it goes on.

So many little things that I'm sure could be put right with minimum effort, but it's so difficult to pinpoint who's at fault from where we stand. Is the management incompetent? Is the coaching substandard? Are the players unmotivated or simply not good enough?

Whatever the answer I'd start by docking every single one of them 50% of their wages this week. Paul Lambert included.
 See if that reminds them that football matches last for ninety minutes.

[Dribbler]

Although we are far from safe, I doubt we will go down this season, but I'm struggling to get excited by another struggle to get to 40 points.

Looking at our fixtures though i find it hard to see we've got 4 wins in us, when you look at games against teams  that you think should be potentially winnable games, you suddenly realised we've not been winning those kind of games. I think we'll be lucky to get 8-10 points.

[Tom_Mc9?]

Well, we'd have no players left with the 50% fine rule. Possibly not the worst thing in the world.

[Tuscans]

Cue the worst and complete opposite post match interview ever.

If the words, "we were excellent" and "we pick them up and go again" appear today I'm going to finish my dinner, have a drink and watch Norwich v Spurs.

[JUAN PABLO]

well when you aint scored for nearly 450 mins , the best team play is The Villa

[Mazrim]

Yet again. If you need to stop a rot, play Paul Lambert's Aston Villa. Arguably the most rotten team in the division.
