Regardless of how much I would ever want the manager out i'd never give up on the FA Cup. Especially not when we're in the 5th round at home to someone who are actually worse than us.

It's all a bit moot really though. All that matters is the team, and they look like they've given up the season, never mind the next game.

I know this will sound emotional and over the top, but I genuinely believe Lerner does not give a shit.

What other excuse can there possibly be?

Stubbornness and an unwillingness to admit that they have got it wrong?  You only have to read or listen to some of the statements by Fox and Faulkner before him to detect an attitude of disregard towards the supporters (the whole McLeish episode, Faulkner sneering "of course everyone's an expert" in an interview and that offering from Fox the other week).  They know best and the fans know nothing.

Even if they miraculously woke up and smelt the coffee, would you trust them to pick someone that can keep us up? There was a guy before Xmas, that we all knew could do it, but he has ended up in that B70 shit farm

That's the only reason I can think of why Lambert hasn't been sacked - they're scared of trying to find the right man.

No, but watching that tonight, it dawned on me that we really, really are going to go down if we persist with this bloke. And not just go down, we'll do a Sunderland / Derby memorable relegation, scoring 13 goals or something shocking.

Something really significant needs to happen, and really quickly, because otherwise we're building up a real head of steam, heading straight at a cliff.

11 days till the next league match, this is really clearly the last sensible time to get rid of him, it really is.

If it weren't these people running the club, I'd be waking up tomorrow morning and checking the news expecting to see he had gone, but the bloke is untouchable.

Besides, if they keep him and we scrape survival, surely he is a dead man walking all the same? He will have absolute zero credibility and zero support.

Oooh, hark at you with your fancy ideas and big talk of scoring thirteen goals.

There is no way this team should be emulating those shit Sunderland/Derby sides.This isn't a team full of lower league crap its a team with many international player sadly directed by a man who would struggle to win a game on Football manager playing as Real Madrid.

At the weekend WBA were 2 down playing crap but got back into the game from set pieces brought about by work on the training pich.Villa  meanwhile barely get the ball past the first man let alone have some plan for if the ball does reach the box.Tonight we play a poor Hull side but one with a 5 man midfield with physical presence so clearly the best formation is to out number ourselves in midfield and play literally the most light weight midfield we could ..

The utter incompetence of the tactics in the last 4 games (maybe not so much V Chelsea) beggers belief.

I'm of the belief now that literally anyone not named Paul Lambert as manager with this squad at his disposal would save us from relegation. Shit, Pardew has shown up at Palace and in a few short weeks done that without any problem at all. That our situation is being allowed to continue goes well, well beyond absurd.
