    He did. Also I know it counts for nowt on the pitch but he come over alone to acknowledge the fans after the game which meant a lot to me.

    Get used to it. Lambert had a rule at Norwich he would only sign hungry players from a league below rather than pay larger amounts for "proven" players. It worked out very well for him and I expect to see him do the same for us. It wouldnt surprise me or worry me if we never signed another PL player under Lambert. Clearly he sees better value in lower leagues or foreign ones. Maybe he will be mistaken but my guess is it will work out very well.

    What was the "shoes off if you...." chant Peever?

    I never trust the side that does the leaking to the press. If Ron Vlaar wants to get all Whelan on us then good riddance I say.

    Norwich averaged 46.2% possession (47.2% at home, 45.2% away) . We were 45.8% on average (48.2% at home & 43.5% away). However Norwich were 9th in pass completion in the League. You sure but those stats mate? This is the same Norwich that was one of the very few teams who out possessed Swansea last season.

    So where have you seen dunne pre season ? Last night??? Yup. I am a Dunne fan but he really looked off the pace at Philly. Hopefully its just the heat. But yeah, he got caught out pretty bad in that one run for sure.

    Herds had a bit of a mare apparently.

    Happy for him. Even more happy that everyone watching it says we are playing a possession based attractive passing game. Pinch me.

    How can you be so sure? Id be happy to be proven wrong as I think we've lacked anyone to bully opponents up front since Carew left - although im not sure how it would work with bent. But my doubt lies with the fact that I feel Carroll would feel it is a massive step down from a £35m price tag, from challenging for europe etc. I could see him back at Newcastle as he's a local lad but I don't think we'd appeal to him too much as I fell we need to shake off our 'unattractive' tag that has hung over us since Houiller and AM took charge. I am sure Downing would put in a good word for us. lulz

    This is actually very true. Slower pace, mistakes happen. Berbatov would tear up MLS.
  11. ciggiesnbeer
    We cant afford the wages sadly, but Berbatov has another season or two in him. Tragically under used by Fergie last season.

    By the way, whats the consensus on how we will be referring to this bloke? Karim? El Ahmadi? Something else? Something that can scan into a chant would be ideal.
  13. ciggiesnbeer
    completely agree.

    I would bloody love to see Villa playing n the Europa League.
  15. ciggiesnbeer
    Very few, good point. But the SPL even more so I think. It is rather shocking just how poor the football has become up there. Every time I see a game I am appalled, Old Firm included. And I say this as a man whose team was managed by Alex **** McLiesh last season.
  16. ciggiesnbeer
    I also would like Ki but no way is he worth 7 million. There isnt a player in the SPL worth that imho.
  17. ciggiesnbeer
    Quite right too. I dont want ANY foreigners in our team, and foreigners begin at Dudley.* *these are not my real views.
  18. ciggiesnbeer
    Milner is a fantastic player. If City fans or the football media dont rate him then excellent, more chance of him coming back home. Top player, would have him back in a heartbeat.
  19. ciggiesnbeer
    Its July, its my optimistic month of the year anyway. I am dreaming of us not just surviving but having a go at...you know.. winning things.
  20. ciggiesnbeer
    This is my question. These appetizers are all well and good but when do the meaty signings start?
  21. ciggiesnbeer
    Agreed. Regardless of whether he works out or not just the signing of players who are scouted from other leagues and who are able to help us play a more skillfull game would be great.
  22. ciggiesnbeer
    Same here. We really need to develop a modern more possession based style. My hope is Lambert can do that, my first choice was Rodgers then our fun OGS flutter. Happy enough with Lambert though.
  23. ciggiesnbeer
    My enthusiasm is growing. Here go read these reports on how he changes his tactics match to match, half to half to match the opposition and take avantage of who is in form in his squad. http://www.holtamania.com/match-analysis/ we seem to have hired a deep tactical thinker and tinkerer. That makes me happy.

    I dont want the club sold. Lerner has been a fabulous owner and I believe he will continue to do the right thing for the club. A wealthy new owner doesnt necessarily get us Manchester City, it could get us Blackburn instead.
  25. ciggiesnbeer
    Absolutely but he isnt getting a free pass. A few dumb transfers or setting us up to play tedious football and he will be getting deserved abuse. Hopefully this wont happen and all indications are he likes playing attractive football. I am a wee bit worried that he isnt as focused on possession as I would like but I am more than willing to wait and see. He changes his teams set up when warranted and strikes me as being a winner. He has my support until he indicates otherwise.
