I watched it in the pub. I've no idea who the co-commentator was but he was absolutely slaughtering us at times. He was right as well, we were awful.

Indeed, I cant help you with who it was, other than the clues were that he was a striker in his playing days,but his observations on our lack of movement and desire were spot on.

At the very least they've got to appoint an Assistant Manager who used to be a forward and understands forward play and movement. Someone like Dean Saunders for instance.

I think the time for tinkering with coaching staff has gone. We need a change of manager. Although your wild and crazy idea of actually having an assistant manager might be worth considering. It might even catch on.

If the manager is going nowhere then we MUST bring in an assistant on a short term contract to inject some fresh ideas into the changing room.  The situation as it stands is madness.  What's Rene Meulensteen up to?  Lambert/Fox, get on the blower and get him in.  Likewise, bring Peter Withe and Garry Shaw in to work with the strikers and breathe some life and passion into them.  We need a whole new approach and freshen-up for the run-in.

"If you look at the players we had on the pitch, we had Gabby Agbonlahor, Carles Gil, Joe Cole - you've got so many options attacking-wise."

There's a village missing its idiot somewhere.  Gabby has been washed up as an attacking force for ages, and Joe Cole has all the pace and mobility of roadkill.  Honestly, every word he (m)utters is just completely inane drivel.

I miss the mentalism of the first season. I felt every game we would smash them or get smashed. But either way we'd be going for it.

Some real beauties in there.  I see "Got to go again" got yet another airing, but it's the "we've got to win ugly now" that has got me.  How much uglier can it get?  I must have missed the games where we've been playing like the 1970 Brazil team up to this point.

Sorry but I can't bring myself to read the shit that comes out of that clueless twat's mouth.

I tried, honestly but by line 3 or 4 I gave in.

Been there, done it, not going again.

The best line was, "We have got to win ugly now. This is not the time for pretty football". I don't know about you but I will miss all that pretty football I have been watching week in week out for the last couple of years.

Bastard, you're trying to make me read it, aren't you, Damo?

Honestly, I'm beyond anger, I'm actually feeling a sense of relief that soon, very soon, the fool will be gone. Is it wrong to feel so positive tonight?*

*I still think the board will try and stick it out until the end of the season.

You could have Messi, Ronaldo and Aguero on the pitch but if they stood around, didn't move and didn't get into the box they would be about as much use as Captain Hook at a gynaecologists convention

I reckon we should all PM TSOV one sentence at a time of what Lambert said.

Not got much to say about the game as we all watched.

One thing I always said about Lambert was that when he was under pressure he knew how to scrape a result from somewhere, that's now gone and I wouldn't go into any of the remaining games expecting anything but defeats with him at the helm.

I still don't expect him to go but he should do for his health, he looked incredibly stressed on the bench after the second and tears didn't look too far away.



I have felt that he has looked like a broken man for some time. This may well be why he has lost the ability to inspire the players.

Lerner needs to take some responsibility as an owner and deal with the issue

Yep.  After the horrors over Christmas and against Bradford and Millwall, there were some good games towards the end of that season.  Right up until the end, every game had something on it, as we were invariably playing to either get out or stay out of the bottom three.  The 3-2 home win over QPR was particularly dramatic.

We controlled large periods of play against Chelsea and Liverpool that season as well. Nowadays we couldn't even give them an itch on the arse.

Bastard, I'm still recovering from the shock today of finally discovering that Matthew bloody Vaughn is married to Claudia Schiffer.

I'd rather be locked in a room with no food or drink until I'd heard the complete record collection of UK Redsox. Not going there.
