ffs, and they moan about players simulating

WBA sack Head Coach Steve Clarke


http://www.wba.co.uk/news/article/cl...s-1236295.aspx

Jose will be wanting him back at the Bridge I expect.

Some people are just great assistant's and not cut out to be a Manager, Clarke is one of those people.

i think hes done a decent job, definitely deserves another shot at managing in the PL

I thought he'd done a really good job but every WBA fan i've seen on twitter is relieved

definitely been one of their most successful managers, I guess Lukaku just bailed them out alot last season, and even then he didn't start Lukaku

Not looking forward to today

Too many injuries. This starting 11 that will play is genuinely a Midtable quality side bar a couple.

i know you are just building yourself up for a loss so that you'll be ecstatic when you beat us

Would love to see Liverpool fail today/tomorrow since I live in the US and it's 10 31 right now

We'll see how far Villa have come under Lambert tomorrow, this game last year they threw away a two goal lead to lose the game, it's a big test of their character to make sure they don't crumble again.

United are under pressure, and are desperate, so this is a great chance for Villa.
On the other hand, United are gonna give someone a good hiding soon.

Villa could go level on points with them tomorrow.. had no idea it was that close :joker:

Big Sam must be sweating ridiculously now, every manager around him getting the boot

we are worse this year than last year even though it seems we're doing better

He should be alright, he's got them pretty solid, just needs someone to stick the ball in the net for him, he had Kevin Davies doing it regularly for him at Bolton, Maybe Carroll could be the man when he's fit.

People make out like Villa have really stabilised this year though (not saying they haven't, I dunno really), like Savage went on all last year saying they were going down, now he loves them lol

It's weird, but we have been lucky with most of our big wins (Arsenal, Man City, Southampton)..all very very lucky

Our style of play is dreadful too

Not saying I want Lambert sacked necessarily, but wouldn't care if he left

Yeah it's the main problem really, think we've got a solid defence with the likes of Reid (when he's back) and Rat in the back four, Noble and Ravel are great and got some good wingers in the likes of Downing and Jarvis. Trouble is Carroll is a bloody nightmare with this injury, not sure he'll ever be consistently fully fit again, and then we're just scrambling around hoping for goals.. Need activity in January

spent most of your budget for the next 5 years on Carroll

Pretty much, not even sure why really, was pretty good on loan but didn't exactly set things alight

Least Sullivan has acknowledged how annoying it's all been

Hopefully Liverpool loses today, would love to see Everton actually be in the top 4

Tony Clev and Giggs all start today

Enjoy the 3 points Nathan

Stats today

Giggs pass completion rate below 20%
Tony Cross percentage Below 10%
And Clev sideways pass completion at 100%

Terrible decision sacking Clarke.

Would be great if we could get him back here though, he had our defence nice and solid and since he left it has been pretty ****.

Rafeal is no question the best RB in the world. Might aswell not play Tony in front of him as he literally does everything by himself
