"But the expectancy level was really really high, always.

I'm not sure wanting us to finish higher than 15th in the top flight is a particularly "high" expectation.

These chancers expect to be given free reign. Hours without goals? Need more time. Months without wins? Need more time. Record losses? Need more time.

I don't know what it is they actually regard as reasonable expectations seeing as we broke virtually all our negative club records under that fucking idiot at the time.

It's a case of sit down, shut up, pay us your money and fuck off home at the end of it in silence please and we'll do it all again next week. Whilst they become multi millionaires.

Two fifteenth place finishes, our heaviest top flight defeat in our entire history and losing a two legged cup semi final to a team three divisions below us. Yes Paul I think we did all have slightly higher expectations than all that.

Stop! You're triggering my Villa-related PTSD!

That "I begged Randy to fire me" is arguably the shittiest behaviour of any of the many toerags we've employed this decade.

Don't forget he broke the most number of home losses in a season.  Only to beat it the next season.

Nope, he definitely wasn't that.

It shows how monumentally thick he is that he sees fit to boast about it. He clearly thinks it shows him in a sympathetic light, when it really exposes how weak, greedy and morally bankrupt he is. "I knew I wasn't up to it but I carried on anyway".  Very noble.

He is like that friend who still goes on about the ex-girlfriend he used to have (and was lucky to have her and last as long as he did), just move on Paul... it is for the best, just move on.

I'm sure someone on here recently called Lambert 'a bag of milk', which I thought was a magnificent insult that warrants further use.

Edit. Found it, it was Villadelph a few pages back.

i wish he'd gone to that meeting with Randy on the Hamptons or where ever it was, contracted permanent laryngitis, and  stayed there as Lerner's pool cleaner.

It was the repetitive "we're playing with a new style" line that got me. The losing record-breaking style you mean?

He shouldn't have been given the chance.  I still don't think the decision to appoint him was a particularly bad one at the time given how he had done at Norwich.  He had a terrible start, but then picked up in the latter stages of his first season and started his second season off well as well.  It became obvious during his second season though that he was struggling badly and when his assistants were sacked towards the end of that season for bullying, time should have been called on him there and then.  The fact that he was allowed to limp on for almost another year was a terrible decision and did some real damage to the club.
