Dear Premier league team,

Is your manager under pressure?
Does he need a result to quieten your fans?
Does your £20 million misfit need a goal to prove his worth?
Do you need an improved goal difference to see you into Europe?
Need a confidence boosting result before that vital European game?
Have you not won at home/away [delete as appropriate] for 10+ games?

Well help is at hand!

We will play a system that will not hamper your team,  our strikers will demonstrate that your makeshift defence IS the best in Europe. Our defenders will not mark your attackers too tightly so that out of form midfielder can get his passing range and look like Messi, amd our Midfield will run around like headless chickens with no puprose.

Please apply for the full 3 points to:-

Paul Lambert
Villa Park
B6

Sorry i should have added
Read the glowing testimonials from satisfied customers,including "overjoyed" of Fulham and "am I dreaming this?" Of Crystal Palace. "Wow we're winning away" of West Ham and "this is so easy,thanks Mr Lambert"of Stoke. Aston Villa-"I can't believe they're not better!"
Your original post was not that funny so there was no need to add to it and make it worse.

I liked it.

No it wasn't, my original point was the money had been spent on

Quote
utter toss that can barely get in the squad

If you think we've got good value for money from that investment then good luck to you. I particularly like the signing of Kozak to covrer Benteke, so if plan A of the long hoof to a big man doesn't work we can switch to plan B, bring on Kozak and play long hoofs to a big man.

The summer £20m has been a major fuck up.

Then he brings in Holt   

Holt is just cover for Kozak and he'll most likely be playing somewhere else next season.

why ?

whats wrong with just playing Robinson for the ten minutes every  3 games Holt does and just save the wages

It's a fair point.
I would rather see what the kid has got, than watch Hollt amble around.

It's worth remembering that at the time us as fans were talking about whether Benteke was fully fit. So I can see whyhe  brought Holt in, in case Benteke got injured again rather than leave us with frontline options of Gabby and Andi, neither are prolific, and Robinson and Helenius. So short term cover of a player he knows makes sense. Would have preferred someone better than Holt but I guess in Jan the only loan options are generally older players, misfits or young inexperienced ones.

Whenever we are really safe he should give Robinson a run. what'd be the harm?

Andi has been dire in recent weeks and Holt, what'd be the point by then?

I agree. And Helenius. We are as good as safe now barring a freak run of results so i'd start blooding a few of them.

It's a pity Grealish isn't around, would like to see him going into next season with a start or two under his belt already.

Watching the graphic on MOTD of how well Saints three English attackers have done all season compared to our fun boy trio - Gabby and Weimann have, what 6 goals between them, made me sigh. Imagine someone of Lallana's talent and beard at the Villa. We'd be set-up for life.

We'd soon drag him down to our level.

At least he and a few others are getting competitive starts, albeit at a lower level. I'm quite happy that we look like we're are using the loan system for our youngsters better.

Has anyone mentioned Westwood? Quality all game. Unfortunate we don't notice when everyone else is so rubbish.

MotD

Just watched that back for the first time. The amount of time their player was given to put the cross over for their first goal was shocking

Was in an executive box in the Sir Alex Ferguson (a friend got some tickets through work) when Villa scored and we celebrated the stewards cane to us and said "you know things have not been going well and the fans are edgy, so can you refrain from celebrating" I said we have had that for yrs !! he basically blanked my remark and shot off !! I will never go there again, they are a plastic set of people who have been spoilt and are now like sulking like babies ........ Would rather be a fan who has experienced every emotion with my local club than anyone of those empty so called " fans" ......

I knew we wouldn't get anything there but if Benteke would have had his scoring boots on things might have been different.
