Aston Villa v Crystal Palace match thread

[tim]

Right then, second half!
Here we go, it's going to be great!

[Toronto Villa]

Between Lambert, the PL and FIFA I am really falling out of love with football.

[TonyD]

Any subs?

[usav]

Honestly, nobody in our team can cross the ball.  Nobody.

You know when the Birmingham Six were let out of prison, and there was that footage of them, emerging into the modern world, after almost 20 years inside, unaware of the way things worked, a world to which they had never really been exposed, a world where they had to learn how to live again, it was so alien to what they had known before?

Or Nelson Mandela, walking down that road with Winnie after being let out of prison, decades breaking rocks on Robben Island, and then he's out and having to come to terms with what must have seemed a whole new dimension to him?

Well, that is exactly how I imagine it must feel for Carlos Sanchez having to play with these fucking muppets after spending the summer playing for Colombia in the world cup.

Get rid of Gabby or Weimann for Grealish.

Take 'em both off for him. We play better with ten.

Any subs?

does lambert do HT subs

[Villa in Denmark]

Will he change anything at half time?

The biro for his notepad maybe.  Other than that, no bloody chance.

[Hopadop]

Lambert your clueless.  He should be sacked before the half time whistle blows.

Has a manager ever been sacked at the half time break?

A quick google brings up two examples - I thought there'd be loads.

Chichester City sacked Mark Poulton during the second half in 2010, but Fortuna Cologne sacked Toni Schumacher actually during the half time break.  This left assistant Ralf Minge in charge.

[silhillvilla]

Is lambert even here ? Don't appear to be on bench

[Phatboy]

Minge 

[Malandro]

what a load of bollocks

They weren't fannying around then.

I think they should commission one of them Amnaesia DJ's to do a scratch version of we were excellent.

'I thought we were excellent, thou thou thou we were excellent excel excel excellent.  We go again, we go again, we go go go go again.'
