"Did a great job at Villa".
Some bozo on 5Live.

Begs the question as to what he would have had to do for them to consider he'd done a bad job at Villa!


29% win rate I think it was

Someone on the Oatcake has crunched some numbers, and reckons that if he can maintain that win rate, it should be just enough to keep them up.

He has just spoken to Jim White on Talksport. "I'm used to being successful Jim. I've won the European Cup". Setting aside he should have said Champions League and not European Cup, that was as a player. A more relevant fact would have been if he had pointed out his managerial honours are a grand total of two promotions in thirteen years of management.

Maybe Stoke should have gone for their former keeper Peter Shilton. He won two European Cups.

The fact we didn't get relegated under him (I specifically use that phrase as opposed to saying he kept us up) but finished rock bottom  not long after he left portrays him in a better light than he deserves. To most casual football fans he is the bloke that kept us up in a heroic Big Sam style.

That's exactly how I see it. People equate Lambert leaving Villa with us getting relegated when in fact Lambert simply got lucky with Benteke (who was responsible for us staying up much more than Lambert was).

He might enjoy a dead cat bounce at Stoke but it won't last long. I hate Sparky but he's a better manager than Lambert

Anybody who went to Hull would have known, without a shadow of a doubt that we were cooked and done that season.

I watched on the box. I could see it, the Danish commentators could see it. We were royally f¤%ked and no mistake.

Rab C Mumble to Stoke? Staggering, simply staggering.  What on earth are they thinking?  All that talk about doing a good job at Villa, keeping us up etc etc is re-writing history.  Remember Christmas 2012? We lost 15-0. Remember Bradford, Millwall, Orient, Blades? Cup humiliations one and all.  Remember getting to January having scored 12 goals all season?  Remember Tonev, Kozak, Senderos, Sylla etc etc?  Remember giving Gabby a 4 yr contract in 2014?? I'll give him Benteke, but that's it.  Lerner notwithstanding, Lambert was a dreadful manager for Aston Villa.

This, with spades on.

He must have more Villa records than any other manager, all bad.

Mr Mumbles starts with two home games - Huddersfield and Watford. Two defeats should set the "we go again" bandwagon rolling!

Correct answer. Him / Stoke as part of a triple stripey relegation pack with the boggies and toon would be just triffic.
