Hull City v Aston Villa Post-Shambles Thread

[langleylions]

I am telling you now, randy lerner is asset stripping aston villa. when we go down we get say 30 mill in parachute which he will pocket knowing he can pull the 'we have to pull our belts in' touch again also our better players signed new contracts when they could have made more money on frees i.e delph guzan benteke knowing full well we will pocket big transfer fees for them when sold. where is the prick oh he is on holiday in the carribean in our darkest hour. he don't care if he sells us now cuz he is gunna get his money back by other means than selling us and he will still own us.

Nonsense, I think we can safely say Lerner will lose a lot of money when we get relegated,

why is it nonsense easy quick way to make money, pocket sky money without spending a penny on team and selling your best assets i.e players

This is the type of reasoned argument I come on here for, a heartfelt critique of the situation Mr Cropley and if I may say so rather a moving one.

Agbonlahor can't even grow a proper moustache, that's how fucking useless he is.

Our players are gone, mentally. You can see it in their eyes, a haunted look. They look like they just got out of Vietnam, found out that they missed the 1960s and that Prog Rock is dominating the charts.

Thanks to all above for helping me raise my first smile since before kick off this evening.

A comfortable win for Hull.

We go again.

On the plus side, we've only lost once to a top flight side in the cups under Lambert. Now I am excited!

The players look they have no confidence and no idea what they're supposed to be doing, as poor as they've played I'd put the majority of that at the feet of the manager.

The worst thing about it for me is - this isn't 1987. It isn't going to stop with relegation. A Graham Taylor is not going to sweep in and put everything right.

Our few remaining Premier quality players will leave, Randy will reset the wage bill to allow for the reduced income, and he'll find another yes man to manage the next iteration of slow decline.

The only glimmer of hope is that even the utterly hopeless Cleveland Browns found a buyer eventually.

Have to agree, they either don't understand the gameplan or if they do don't believe in it.
Lambert just keeps throwing different players and systems together hoping something happens.

[OzVilla]

I said in the pre-match thread that if we suffered a defeat with a poor performance I think that would be it for Lambert.

I know they've had ample opportunities before but I really think slipping into the bottom 3 with a performance like this means they must act now - as disinterested as Lerner is and as disengaged with the reality as clearly Fox is they simply cannot ignore this any longer.

I've a gut feeling he'll be gone by this time tomorrow I really do.  If not, they deserve everything they get (though I've thought that for a while).

[PeterWithe]

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.

I agree, it has been pretty clear that is the issue for weeks now, and I thought tonight was a particularly good example on it.

There was no actual plan to what we were doing. Lots of passing the ball between ourselves, yes, but it looked pretty clearly to me like they were just making it up on the spot, they hadn't been sent out there to do any one thing in particular.

I cannot think of any positive to take from the game. Watching Cissoko pull out of a 60/40 (in his favour ) challenge made my blood boil. The manager is incompetent but the players are taking the piss out of the shirt.

Most demoralising thing is Lambert is here to stay.

[rob_bridge]

We were excellent.  For Hull.

[peter w]

Fox thinks the narrative is false. What does he think of the league table?

[Chris Jameson]

I'm normally quite pessimistic but I was convinced we would win tonight.
I shall be glad to return to my normal state of mind tomorrow.
