Many of you will know that I’ve often slated Mat Kendrick as having been a gutless Evening Mail reporter for never having really reported things as he genuinely believed.
His reasoning was pretty obvious, in that he probably didn’t want to face the wrath of the club, which probably would have resulted in his being barred from press conferences and the players being ordered not to talk to him.
A club that doesn’t believe in any criticism from reporters or even the fans. A gestapo type attitude, in my opinion.
My gripe with Mat was that as a proper Villa fan, even though he hinted at things, he should have been a lot more forthright in his real views, given that he had the biggest mouthpiece of any Villa fan.
Anyway, it seems he’s now corrected things somewhat and made his views quite plain, in a very good piece saying that Paul Lambert should be sacked;

The Mail have been quite canny in their efforts to not upset the gestapo, because they simultaneously released an article by Gregg Evans stating why Lambert should stay, just to balance things in the name of fair reporting;

We all know that it’s a minority who want Lambert to stay, but fair play to the Mail anyway in the way they’ve played this. After all, you can’t ban someone for presenting a balanced view, can you?
The only disappointment with Mat’s article is that he should have written it when he was the lead reporter. I’d imagine that if he had got banned for telling the truth, it would have made for a fair old story for the sports press in general and demonstrated the sort of thing that many Villa fans feel is generally wrong with the club under the current regime.
Whatever, fair play Mat for finally telling it how it is.
And I apologise for slating you.
We deserve this. Hard to believe these are the same players. This lad can cross as well and Benteke has woken up because of that
How does anyone think Delph is good… Oh my god.
I see its took a Lambert to nail our coffin, how I hate that name.
Fans arnt even calling for his head disgusting
They won’t Oohah. Bunch of losers just like the team.
Yep
“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result” – sound familiar?
I thought we were excellent, I thought we were excellent, I thought we were excellent!!
You forgot we played brilliant,
Commentator’s claim chants of Lambert out around the ground.
Not suprised, especially with him scoring!!
Fuckin hope so he’s got to go
All I can here is the pool fans singing
Just heard 11 goals in 22 games third lowest in top flight history.
Lambert out were in so much shit it’s Un true
8 hours and 42 minutes without a Premier League goal. Lol
I don’t understand why Lambert didn’t play Gil from the beginning?! We know we’ve got a problem creating chances, we buy a creative player, then we put him on the bench!!! WTF?!
Lambert a legend in his own life time ……………….. If he had any self respect he would fall on his sword. Oh he tried it and missed!
Did doc venglos have a better record???????
For Entertinment I thi/nk Dr Who? did have a better record, didn’t he sign that pantomime clown Savo Milosovic? Not to mention Ivo Stas, the only player to have signed for Villa, scored for Villa, but never played for Villa.
well signs are better than last few games.we created a few more chances had some pressure, the new amigo showed some nice touches and showed he’s got the skill to find the forwards, yeah the ppl that love to moan what ever will continue to moan. but i saw more effort and more cutting edge. i feel goals will come if they continue to apply the same effort and skill.
But bottom line is we still didn’t score and we lost. So your comment is pointless tbf
hows my comments pointless the teams pointless. ur comments pointless. if you wanna cry go ahead cry. last weeks the team was deserving of ur bitching. today they played miles better, still wasn’t enough. but if you can’t see the effort the team put in. then i hope they put in the efforts of the last few defeats, were they looked every bit a relegation team without hope
well happy clappers all happy we give it a go and we ll give it a go next week etc
if he keeps playing numptys like cleverly westwood wiemen gabby zog what does anyone expect sure we had a bit pressure for 15/20 mins but pool still could scored 4/5
No end product when we put them under pressure. when are the goals going to come, might be to late when they do come. Gil I was really impressed with him when he came on.
you see jvillan dave67 see a positive, the new guy came on and showed some nice passes showed he hes got the invention to find forwards in dangerous positions. villa are in a rut and its gonna get worse maybe, but there were better signs today
i am off our for a binge let you all beat up your teddies
Good for Nath. I saw the same game as you. Gotta feel better than the last few weeks, On a lighter note (we are allowed one) it was mad to hear Charlie Nicholas explaining Lamberts situation. I didn’t understand a single word.
Thats because Nicholas was doing a very good impression of Lambert!
Taxi for Mr Lambert, Plane for Mr Lerner. I am not surprised the 8 minute protest failed, its plain daft, but I will be at VP on Sunday to add my voice to the Lambert out chorus.
Okay who would replace Lambert ?
Ian Culverhouse
Who cares anyone but lamberk
Lambert IS the man for the job. Give him time Dean.
That’s a daft comment. We want someone better not just change for changes sake . Someone like Tim Sherwood would be no better than Lambert.
Don’t get why Sherwood would be popular tbh. I want a foreign manager like a koeman etc
Some foreigner nobody has really heard of – just like Pochettino when he arrived at Saints. Ambitious just to get the chance of managing in the Prem.
The one Championship manager you would want will be there next week, but he won’t leave his current job while it is going well.
It is a good opportunity because with the current squad it would be impossible to get less of a performance out of them than Lambert – and the crowd’s expectations are rock bottom. So the new guy is only expected to play more adventurous football and keep them up.
Ponchettino was known for his time in Spain. One of the biggest leagues in the world. We should be scouting there anyways. Definitely a goldmine for managers.
With Gary Karsa as his assistant.
Yea, Roy Keane to return as Director of Football.
nath

I think some of you naysayers (and I’m possibly one) might not like it.
To think lambert got a Four year contact for this makes my blood boil to think how much the players are on and they can’t score for shit no one would buy them now no one will buy us were fucked we be another rangers soon face it relegation this year and we deserve it
