norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted May 4, 2013 Lambert doesn''t want us to stay up, even if Villa stay up as well. He also says that he did NOT punch his fist in the air because "I''ve too much respect for the fans at Norwich to do that"! IF Villa are safe by the last day and losing to Wigan means we could get relegated, expect a Villa defeat - http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/4914351/Paul-Lambert-I-dont-care-if-Norwich-go-down.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
step 0 Posted May 4, 2013 From memory it was a hell of an upper-cut so the usual b@ll0cks from him.No respect for him as a man, thanks for what he did but he chose to leave the way he did, anyway, as there was legal proceedings going on at the time I would imagine noone at the club was able too bow and grovel a greeting to him anyway.

Mister Chops 7 Posted May 4, 2013 In that article, he doesn''t say he "wants us to go down" - he says he doesn''t care if we go down or not. There is a big difference in my view. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cantiaci Canary 556 Posted May 4, 2013 I was waiting for someone to do this! He doesn''t WANT us to go down! He hasn''t said this. He is the Villa manager and only cares where they end up - isn''t that normal for all ex managers in the history of the game? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted May 4, 2013 Cantiaci he said he doesn''t want us to stay up. I can''t see where he said he doesn''t want us to go down???[:^)] That would be an impossible contradiction from the man wouldn''t it? If he doesn''t want us to survive, I think it''s fair to assume that he therefore must want us to go down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cantiaci Canary 556 Posted May 4, 2013 He doesn''t want us to go down - he doesn''t care about anyone other than Villa now. Were you assuming he pined for Colchester''s promotion when he was our boss? Don''t put words in his mouth we owe him more than that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whoareyou? 0 Posted May 4, 2013 Hopefully Hughton is right now printing that article off and pinning it on our dressing room wall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted May 4, 2013 Cantiaci, well I got your attention didn''t I, Lambert Lover![;)] I am not putting words in his mouth, YOU ARE! I said he doesn''t want us to stay up and provided the quote to this. You said he doesn''t want us to go down. But failed to provide anything to substantiate your claim. It''s you, who is putting words in his mouth!!! WTF are you rambling on about with Colchester???[^o)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
K Lo 219 Posted May 4, 2013 As he is employed by Villa, his job is to do the best he can for Villa.I can''t see the problem with that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mister Chops 7 Posted May 4, 2013 And both his goal "celebrations" today made him look like a less loveable David Brent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
