It is possible that he’s a decent manager, but needs a stable working environment, which he hasn’t had since Norwich.

Full disclosure: I was one of his very last defenders on here. Wasn’t going to many games at the time!

That could be the key, Swansea are doomed, Brighton and Huddersfield are in free fall.

Apparently they were outstanding today according to him. Which we all know means they were average as f**k. Can't stand listening to his bullshit, I'd rather they went down than Smethwick now.

Agreed, everything he says on the game goes in one ear and out the other such is his Trump-like tendency for bullshit. Them, Smethwick and West Ham would be my choices (presuming we go up).

Exactly. It’ll be a sweet day when the Boggies go down.

Yeah I've calmed down now, just listening to his post match interview brought all the bad memories flooding back. Telling players they were excellent or outstanding when they played just okay results in pictures like the one Weimann tweeted on the team bus saying "job done" when we'd just managed to stay up because there were three shitter teams than us.

A Stoke fan sent in a video to that BT Sport programme after the game.

He said "We've got Paul Lambert, what a breath of fresh air that was".

good to see Paul's lexicon of football cliches is still to hand, but I'm sue we won't have to wait too long for my all time favorite - 'we go again'

Paul Lambert has admitted he was ‘relieved’ to be sacked as Aston Villa boss

The claret and blues dismissed the Scot with three months of the 2014/15 campaign remaining as they stared relegation in the face, only to be saved for a season by Tim Sherwood.


Lambert worked on a tight budget and with the pressure of disinterested former chairman Randy Lerner pulling the plug on high-profile signings when investment in the squad was needed.

The owner’s absence and lack of communication added further strain onto Lambert who told the Telegraph how much it started to wear him down.

“I look back at some of the photos of me from my time at Aston Villa and I don’t recognise myself,” he said.

“I don’t look healthy and had put on a lot of weight.

The actual pressure of it was incredible, so, in the end, it was a big relief to leave.”


"I met Walter Smith at a League Managers’ Association thing shortly after I left, he asked me how I felt getting the sack. Absolutely delighted, I said.

He said he was the same at Everton. You know it’s coming, it’s just a matter of when.

“I loved Villa, but in hindsight did I over-protect them?

“Yeah, I probably did. I offered to resign (in the summer before his sacking) but they talked me out of it.

“The club was up for sale and the money was going. Maybe if I’d left then and not got sacked my reputation could have been better.”

So does he believe he can keep the Potters in the Premier League and how is he enjoying his new role?


“I’ve never known the league as tight as this. I’ll still be surprised if it goes to the wire. If it does, I hope we’re nowhere near it.

“But that churning in your stomach on the morning of a game, I’ve missed it.

“That adrenalin rush, I can’t help getting involved.”

I'm sure it was a big relief to get sacked with compo, as opposed to doing the decent thing and stepped down.

To be honest, If I was in his situation at that time, knowing that the end was imminent, there would be absolutely no way I would step down myself and just forfeit a considerable amount of money
