He's from Over the Water, ergo he's a Wool. He'll know what I'm on about, it's hardly offensive.

Ads you must have been called a wool yourself ha ha  living  in Newton.  Am  made up I didn't go now today.  I woke up with a right strop wishing I was on my way. 

I get called it by one of the blokes on my team everyday. He's from Bootle. Poacher turned game keeper. It's a bizarre insult and I always laugh as I don't understand how it's considered a pejorative.

What injuries prevented him from playing 442 or 433?

I'm on about Stoke last year you Wool.

You can stop that for starters.
It's fine PWS..I'm just glad he doesn't know where I'm originally from.Look results are not great but if we keep sacking managers we are never going to get anywhere. This club is crying out for stability..and a bit of patience from the club's fans.

Precisely. That's why I argued we needed to give Lambert at least another two or three seasons to work his magic.

Yes of course..8 games and 2 defeats is definitely comparable to 3 seasons and a semi final exit to a 4th division side.

Nice place Newton.  Got an apple named after it.  Newton Wonder.
Wonders a nice place too, got a crisp named after it.

Much like the village of Twiglets, although I can't for the life of me remember what their claim-to-fame was.

I think Tony was taken by rdm winning the European Cup personally. My mate said he's shit tactically but because he's a bitter bird I ignored him but looks like he was right

It's an exaggerated point used to counter your argument that our club is crying out for stability when in actual fact we need competence.

I was talking to an Albion fan today about RDM. His remembered their team taking to the pitch with 6 forwards. Midfielders playing as fullbacks and fullbacks playing in midfield. Even during their promotion season a clean sheet was a rarity. He described a totally clueless manager who clearly still is totally clueless.

Thing is was he saying that during the season they were promoted with him in charge? RDM hasn't exactly delivered and needs to be held accountable especially in regards to finishing games off. But we also should have won games at a canter using his tactics early in games. That we haven't scored a shed load more goals isn't entirely his fault.

Sorry but this is unbelievable - The club was in a mess before the start of this season, Villa got RDM in late on in relative terms.  A lot to sort out - started the pre-season with a completely different squad to what is now showing.  I wouldn't feed the likes of Hutton or Clarke to be honest.  Complete new working practice, new squad to bed in - we should have won at Sheff Wed, should have seen Huddersfield and Brentford off, even Bristol City the better team by a country mile for 60 minutes. 

Things are improving  on the pitch, the points will come.  Whats your solution Bruce who also relegated the bloose, Pearson who isn't picking up trees right now, McClaren perhaps- McDermott is out of work and Mobray will be soon as perhaps Pullis might also be contactable. 

RDM deserves at least the season.  We are Villa for goodness sake not Leeds United.

should of, would of, could of, if, if, if, RDM doesn't know what to do.
