"Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert is fed up of battling relegation season after season"......So are we, sod off.

“You probably can’t print the things I’m feeling.”.......Join H & V, they print what we feel about it.

Exactly, the main person who can do something about not being in relegation fights is you, if you're not up to the job then leave.  I seriously can't think of a worse thing to see a manager say after the amount of shit the fans have had to put up with.  If you're pissed off and incapable of doing anything about it and then being told by the club you're idiots and can't see the big picture then you're allowed to say you're fed up.

I don't care about his pain. I believe he's feeling it, I really do, professionally. I also care about Aston Villa, far far more than he could ever do, and he's ruining us to the point of relegation. So, no, I don't care how much it hurts Lambert because it will never touch mine.

The opposition goals are like virgins.  They never get entered.

Two shots ROBBO, Westwood in the dying seconds. Theo Walcott' s interview after the game, mentioned the fun of the Villa fans with their ironic cheering.

I saw that quote on Twitter. I assumed it was a wind-up. Christ, that really is crap when a member of the other side is moved to comment on your shortcomings above and beyond the usual nothing platitudes.

I appologize, i didn't see that it had all become too much for me at that point. God help us.

My first away game in ages my son's first one ever oh well! Have to say Sanchez was as bad as the home game v Arsenal if not even worse, Gabby is overweight, Cleverly anonymous and Richardson not a defender. Oh and god knows what's happened to Benteke. Great support though as expected, Arsenal very quiet considering the football they play.

MODS

if I start I thread named CCCCCCCCCCCUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNTTTTTTTTTTTT

will that be okay? i think it may be popular and need no introduction?

I turned off at 2-0 then sat there for an hour in a stunned silence, I'm Fucking sick of these gutless performances, Benteke & Sanchez were Fucking hopeless,someone just put me out of my misery

[Phil from the upper holte]

Lambert's comments are staggering

[Chico Hamilton III]

Absolute fucking rubbish! We are desperate.

I had a glimmer of hope before the game with the optimism of Gil had brought vs Bournemouth. Give them a game for 60 - 70 mins, they get an inevitable goal, tire and we somehow sneak a point via Gil. After 8mins that evaporated and I thought it would be 6 or 7 - 0. Incredibly sad because of how crap I know we are.

Depressed for the hundredth weekend.

Caught a bit of 5 live about 5pm and the reporter (whoever he was) was giving PL a semi-grilling. At the end he mentioned whether PL was the man to try to keep Villa up. PL didnt answer or gave a non-answer.

Because of the bad times at B6 at the moment my imagination is running wild in that he sounded like he wants out but wont go. Depending on how ruthless the Fox is, to prevent us paying compo they will let it get worse i.e. no communication with him and let him carry on doing the same stupid things week in, week out. Once the 7th goes in by Chavski at 4.30pm on saturday and the fans have the Bolton moment he will walk.

Flip side is right now Fox and PL are discussing severance.

Gill looks a bit of a player, and genuinely looks like he can influence a game.
BUT, it struck me today that we can't enjoy even the (small) positive things because of the ocean of shite surrounds them.

[Steve kirk]

I know he still appears safe due to the people at the top being buffoons but if Chelsea were to humiliate us by hitting us for 5 or 6 at home on Saturday with us not scoring again then surely that would mean the end for Lambert

[silhillvilla]

The Bolton moment will be v Stoke I reckon and then WBA

[Clampy]

I'm going to say it again, Nigel Clough.

What about Nigel Clough?
