Not there today as I was busy. but to say I was shocked is an understatement. But I say again that PL cannot take all the blame for what happens on the pitch, the players are out there not PL. We have no back up when things go wrong, the players don't seem to have intelligence and don't react to the opposition. Stoke game is an example, they started knocking the ball about and the team were lost. they are not a young team as people keep saying, they are an inexperienced group that are not learning. A few weeks back I did my own assessment of points that we would get ad came up with 35 by the end of the season. Our only hope is that the bottom 4 continue as they have all season and generally drop points. If they don't then we will be in the s. t

Reality check to Villa fans, if you don't win another game this season you could be relegated.

I think we will stay up this season mainly because of the failings of other teams around us, and not our own performances.
I said a couple of weeks ago I felt we would amass 42 points, but after the result yesterday I think it will be more like 37-38, having looked at other fixtures for teams around us I think we will finish about 15th in the table the same as last year but with fewer points.
I think it will be three from Cardiff, Sunderland Norwich & Fulham going down.
Norwich and Sunderland have a real tough run in.

Yep have to agree Dave, 37 points looks like the magic number based on the relegation contenders down there.

Theres such a gulf in class from the top 8 to the rest of the league, only way I can see us getting back up there is with hefty investment (55/60mill) would be my guesstimate. let's be fair we'll only get half of that if we'r lucky!

We don't need a reality check, we know the dangers. the fact that those beneath us have a more difficult run in that keeps us going.

1. Where was Delph today? Hopefully he ain't injured.
2. Grant Holt and Matthew Lowton played superb today.
3. Where has Weimann been all season not just today.
4. At the moment Baker has no confidence within himself.
5. If you want the team to win it might help to not get on there backs as soon as they conciede. As soon as the goal went in everyone started to boo the team and that isn't really going to give them any confidence. Before the goal went in and we were passing it about no one cared. But that was a complete different story as soon as they scored. Every Villa fan needs to get behind the team and support them not blame them. If we had got behind the team today they might of played better. And don't boo them off no matter how bad they have played in the first half.

the time has come when words are not enough sack Lambert now the worst home record since 1874 surely says it all the worst team we have ever had the worst manager the worst CE the team deserve to go down as they are the worst team in the league as today quite clearly shows sack him now refuse to renew season tickets wright to the club and e mail now enough is enough

Pathetic.

Absolute rubbish, words fail me.

Villadave

PL must be sacked asap, we make Fulham look great could go on but really fed up

It was funny listening to a Fulham fan on 606 saying how well they played and believing they would now get out of it. I was so tempted to ring up and remind him that beating us is no great achievement
How tragic a sentiment is that?
I haven't listened to any post mach interviews with Lambert as I have a decent TV and a lovely DAB radio which I don't want to have to replace!
