I quite simply don’t know what to say.
Many of us had real fears about losing this one and so it turned out.
My predicted draw was looking in the bag, but we never really looked like scoring did we?
And what about that first half? I struggle to recall such a poor performance from two teams in the top flight, ever.
Even before the goal, the fact that Guzan had made the better saves in this game says it all and it’s simply not good enough. I even went so far as to think that Palace would probably nick it.
I now believe we stand every chance of going down, as we create absolutely nothing, especially at home.
How can it be that we are reduced to this?
I’m thoroughly despondent after that display, so am cutting it short. I just feel sick to the stomach.
But I will say one thing.
While I heard many boos and jeers, I never heard anyone calling for Lambert’s head.
I’m perplexed as to why.
Unless of course, most agree with me, in that we won’t appoint a decent replacement or give a new manager any money to spend.
Please, Lerner, do something or we’re doomed.

Slept on it, still about as fucked off as you can get, got the same feeling back i had when McCleish was here. We should not be comparing them as they are both lower league managers brought in on the cheap by our estranged owner. Time to force these useless pricks out of our club had enough of it now.
Lerner and Faulkner are clueless at running a football club and Lambert and his cronies are league one at best.
FUCK OFF LAMBERT THE VILLA IS OURS
I too slept on it, albeit on the back of a few heavy sized Brandies. That was as bad as I’ve seen and I refer you to my ‘time for drastic action’ submission after the Stoke game. Lamberk has lost the fans with his ‘I’m hurting more than you line’ in the Mail. No you’re not Paul. You will walk away with millions more in the bank than you started with but for fans that have been here for 40, 50 and more years, we can’t walk away. He also trotted out the line ‘if you can’t win it, don’t lose it’. Are you being fucking serious? We weren’t playing Bayern Munich you tool, but one of the worst teams (apart from ourselves) in the league. If he had any decency he’d walk away and let the next bloke have the transfer window. He doesn’t believe we’re in a relegation fight but the 37,000 who were there yesterday do. Anyone still believe in the Lamberk vision? 0-0 against a Tony Pulis team at home and he believes Jordan Bowery is the answer.
What is really worrying is Bowery looked our best player and he is by no means a Premier League footballer our whole squad is shit. I have rated Delph but he just runs around like a headless chicken passing into trouble. Kozack is awful luna is awful, KEA is quite possibly the worst midfielder i have ever seen, does he know you attack forwards.
Lambert you sold a shower of shit on big wages and replaced them with an even bigger shower of shit on low wages lerner must love you, wish they would all fuck off.
THE VILLA IS OURS, THE VILLA IS OURS FUCK OFF RANDY THE VILLA IS OURS
No doubt who the man of the match was though. That little pissant Bannan bossed the midfield, even winning balls in the air. Totally agree about KEA – hasn’t improved since his debut against Everton last year. Don’t worry, I’m sure Lamberk has got some big names lined up in the window, Think he sent scouts to Kiddy Harriers yesterday so get ready for some strengthening. I absolutely couldn’t stand Hutton but no one can tell me he was worse that Luna, Bennett or Lowton.
Lambert you sold a shower of shit on big wages and replaced them with an even bigger shower of shit on low wages lerner must love you, wish they would all fuck off
Excellent Morgan sums it up brilliantly. Someone needs to put that on a banner for tomorrow.
For those people who claim we’re making progress can I also point out that we’ve beaten 1 of the bottom 6 teams and lost to two of them.
Opened my eyes this morning fuck the fag i turned the tv on to see if that prick has got the bullet NO what a fucking joke our club is im well fucked off going back to bed im still having the nightmare.
We are managed by Lambert for the unforeseeable future, as he is one of the most arrogant managers in the premiership, he puts proffessional footballers in to train on their own one trouble causer ok but 7-8 – how unprofessional and arrogant is that ?? he is deluded beyond any other manger, look at the post match comments.
Added to this we are owned by Mr Lerner who doesn’t even attend matches anymore, he probably doesn’t understand relegation as it doesn’t happen in the USA…. In addition to this any new Manager would have to be sort by the great Mr Faulkner… Who knows fuck all about football and is there to be Lerners ears and count the pennies…..
I believe even if we sack lamkerk…… a) we won’t get a decent replacement as Faulkner will conduct the interviews and b) if we do get a replacement how can they work with Faulkner he aint got a clue…….. Lerner has given lambert £40m thats just stupid but other clubs have spent less and replaying great football and are better positioned…FAULKNER SACKED AND TAKE LAMBERT WITH HIM
Saddened (well apropriate) i couldn’t of put it better mate this club is going to the dogs pure & simple lerners laughing his yankee bollox’s off.swansea next they’ll rip us to shreds get the cricket scoreboard out.im one well pissed off fan.
Cheers Giddy, I just think it goes a lot deeper than Lambert, yes he has to go but we have no football brains at board level so the daft Yank is running the club blind…… Would anyone who knows anything about football sanction our half wit manager to spend £40m on a bunch of unknowns… We get a decent player like Benteke and he wants to leave within a year, we just don’t stand a chance do we ???
By rights the norm would be the chairman does whatevers good for the club in moving it forward hiring the right manager providing sufficent funds to maintain a decent squad of players.lerner ticks fuck all of these criteria.lambert would of walked by now if lerner had his heart in it.a fucking disgrace i say.
Rumours are we are up for sale in the region of £200-£250m can anyone confirm these rumours, without accusations of wanting sheiks and billionares its growing momentum and for me on the face of it Lerner is never at VP so it would seem true.
just after listening to talksport ian tayler what alet down blaming mon for spending too much he didnt buy makoun bent ireland given zog hutton give jenas 2 million plus more too spurs for 20 mins football,when one off ourown defending lerner what chance have we lambert has to go because simply he hasnt got a clue what is it now 5 formations in 5 matches baker has made 2players in last 2 matches look like usain bolt luna gets ripped apart what does he do nobody playing in front of him every team attacks down that side delph touted for england they are not that desperate.gabby 1 goal all season on nearly 60 grand a week weimann 1 goal all he does is moan kozac mighton be the greatest but knows where net is replaces him with bowery who couldnt score in4 division tonev dancing on ice says it all kea is he a midfielder helinus? westwood i cant pass forwad okore unlucky vlar concrete ron more like plastic ron yet given hutton bent zog all pushed away
forget Taylor he is a club employee and to blame MON for the mess now is a total cover up of lerner
I think we all forget about the twats in the dugout you know the ones that train and write on little boards , you do that and you do this, about has useful as a bag of shit. Just don’t get rid of Lambert those prats have to as well. Lads I got the score right yesterday 0-1 I’m blaming myself for that its my fucking fault.
the worst thing about the result yesterday was that it came as no surprise. we are one of the worst 3 teams in the prem at the moment and have been the last what 2/3 months? along with west ham and Norwich, other teams in the lower reaches like Fulham, palace and sunderland are showing signs of fight and improvement we are not, relegation yet again is a distinct possibility and for that reason and the fact that the football is getting continually worse along with what ever tactics we are supposedly playing means that exactly 1 and a half seasons in to lamberts reign I think anyone with any common sense would have to call it a massive failure.
I, like many others have tried to be positive, optimistic, even generous in supporting our club and the manager and the team, we have as a whole been more than patient but its clear this is not working.
its not even the results, its the way we are playing, commentary on the game yesterday said ‘both teams were playing like they didn’t want to loose'(this was on about 80mins)how can we be approaching a home game against relegation candidates hoping not to loose? says it all really.
the only thing I could say in lamberts defence is that he’s had to get in a whole squad on the cheap and what we have is maybe 3 players you could call prem quality, maybe a further 4 or 5 who might make it in the future and the rest, well sorry just not good enough and being beaten week in week out is not going to help the potential of any of the prospects we have, if it was me id be praying my name WASNT on the team sheet come tomorrow.
Without doubt, the worst performance of football I have ever seen. I don’t mind losing as long as we have a go but to see us lose without trying is simply not acceptable.
I’m still backing Lambert but only by a very thin thread.
For Swansea I would play the following:
GK: Guzan, RB: Lowton, CB: Clark, CB: Baker (reluctantly as I think he is pony), LB: Luna (again I think he is pony), LM: Bacuna, CM: Delph, CM: Westwood, RM: Albrighton, FW: Tonev, FW: Helenius
I want to see Lowton at right back and Bacuna on the left flank with Albrighton on the other as part of a 4-4-2. It can’t be any worse than the system we are using.
With Bacuna on the left at least he can cover for the awful Antonio Luna when he gets caught out by opposing players.
I think that if Tonev drops a bit he will be quite dangerous as I think that Gabby needs a rest, plus I think Tonev can provide a goal threat if he can reign in his shoot-at-will policy.
I reckon its about time Helenius got a chance.
Gabby needs a rest?……that was his first game for a fortnight FFS. How can Everton can play for 70 mins with 10 men and still create chance after chance (9 shots on target to our 4), most of which were fairly easy to deal with!
Fuck off Lerner, the Villa is OURS!
Where are you Randy, you fucking ignorant twathead………FFS speak to us. Tell us that we will put things right in January. Tell us that substantial funds will be available. And tell us that we will have a decent manager to spend those substantial funds on EXPERIENCED PL players…….we fucking deserve respect. We can no longer remain patient and loyal to the club we love when you constantly ignore us. Grow a pair FFS. Randy…..your taking the piss (again)!
RANDY…..TALK….OPEN YOUR FUCKING MOUTH, THEN OPEN YOUR FUCKING WALLET!
Fuck off Lerner….the Villa is OURS
Langford you sound equally as fucked off as i am.it’s beyond a fucking joke now mate.i think if things go pear shaped sat lamberts going to get it both barrels frm the fans.
Hi Giddy….its fucking shite mate. Randy is taking the piss big time. I cant abide ignorant twats. Cardiff just sacked their manager. Grow some balls Randy, you ignorant twathead,
I think things will go pear shaped giddy, I have absolutely zero confidence in villa getting a result tomorrow, zero!
I don’t think we will see any significant spending in jan nor any significant players come in tbh and I doubt lambert will be sacked either, we’ll just erm……go again, and again until we finally end up relegated.
Ooah Badger Adam why as there not been a preview of tomorrows game against Swansea been posted yet.Afraid to do it after yesterdays humiliation and the reactions it may have.Up the VILLA.
NM swansea will teach us a lesson sat on how to play the game lamberts lack of idea’s stands out a mile mate we’re totally transparent to other teams.dreading the trip to the eitihad pay back big style.fuck alls being done what more can you say.
Is the mumbling jock gone yet anyone?
Got on a proper piss last night and had a lie in, I thought it might have been the drink making me annoyed but no, I’m still absolutely fucking furious at yesterdays embarassement!!!
Our club needs massive change on and off the field!
If we turn back time to Alex McLeish’s last game in charge,away at Norwich City.If you recall, some Villa fans were chanting Lambert’s name as his Canaries side had a reasonable season that year.One thing sticks in my mind though,even though I was happy to see McLeish be replaced.That is that Lambert’s sides always seem to concede goals.The general thought was that he would bring attacking football to the club.Fast forward to now and we are no further ahead of where we were in terms of both league position and style of play.The same old rubbish comes out of Lambert’s mouth each time.Phrases such as “I THOUGHT WE WERE EXCELLENT IN THE FIRST/SECOND HALF” or “I COULDN’T FAULT THEM FOR THEIR EFFORT” The man is deluded.I heard that his sidekick Ian Culverhouse was allegedly abusive to a fan who stated his justifiable anger in the game against Palace. The home record with Lambert is downright embarrassing,laughable and wholly unacceptable.What are these people doing in training ? is what I wonder. I am not usually in favour of sacking a manager but how much time do we give him ? Can anyone see things getting any better ?
