Popular Post briny_ear Posted February 26, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 26, 2015 Of course it was a bloody joke, or, maybe more accurately an attempt at a certain very British sort of irony/self-deprecation. The Scots don't really do this so we are unused to lighthearted remarks at press conferences for a few years. I do hope people are going to lighten up a bit. It's going to be miserable enough staggering from game to game looking nervously at how much lower we are sinking each time, without people making it worse by picking up on and misrepresenting every word Sherwood says. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillanousOne Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 This season we have had crap players being dreadful, mediocre players being crap and our good players being mediocre. Great way of saying what I usually use about 100 words too many trying to get at. Although thinking about it I should personally add 'underrated players proving me wrong' just for Hutton. Good call, I think Hutton, Okore and Clark must get honourable mentions for mostly being a lot better than expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntrimBlack Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I dunno. Who cares. Agree it is ridiculous. It wasn't a joke at all. I'll get behind him because I want Villa to do well, but that doesn't hide my opinion he is a self-important idiot. I hope he proves me wrong though. It was a joke! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 He said we're gonna fail trying which I found odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn1982 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 It seems Sherwood gets every sentence examined minutely and gets a lot taken out of context. "Fail trying" obviously means if we do go down we will go down trying not sleep walking into it as we have of late. He was even picked up in his needs more time line when he meant he'd only been with the players 5 days before Stoke and was still judging what he had and who he could rely on. Nothing at all in his presser was a negative unless of course it suits whoevers agenda towards him. We have a massive week coming up hopefully we can go undefeated.

Shaw_nuff Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Welcome to VillaTalk. If happened to Lambert every week. Only after a hefty old period of constant failure. And then only by some. The cockney-hating on here after just one week by a few is pathetic and embarrassing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam3773 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 At the end of the day, I don't care if he says he's the Special Juan, it's the results on the pitch that matter right now. He's here to keep us up, not prepare unambiguous speeches. Since some kind of Digital Media Analyst bought it up, he was clearly joking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supernova26 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 "We're going to fail trying". I think I prefered Lamberts unwavering positivity. He doesn't come across convincing at all and as previously mentioned looks well out of his depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 To translate it into Lambert speak... 'If we fail, it won't be for the want of trying, that's for sure'. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Omg u guys. Chill and let him get on with it There's enough negatively around the place without us fans adding to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillakevBromsgrove Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Beginning to like this bloke, he is a bit arrogant and full of confidence, could be just what we need rather than the dour negativity of the predecessor, somebody has to get the negativity out of the players and club and change things. We have had too many managers blaming finances and the situation for our performances, Hopefully confidence will breed success this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 To translate it into Lambert speak... 'If we fail, it won't be for the want of trying, that's for sure'. Surely you mean: "If we fail, we'll go again" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raver50032 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I see Sherwood and it reminds me of that locker room scene in Top Gun where Ice Man is giving Maverick a bit of a grilling, even calling him 'dangerous.' Maverick (Tom Cruise) goes right into Ice Man's (Val Kilmer) personal space, pulls a 'funny face' and snaps "That's right..." Sherwood - Maverick... Damn, I wish I knew how to put gifs in.
