Right now our former captain, Paul Lambert, is one of the hottest tickets in football management so it’s no surprised that Norwich City have been unable to hold onto him. Inside three years he transformed the club from one that lost 1-7 to Colchester United (then managed by Paul) to one of the most improved teams in Europe, earning two consecutive promotions and a mid-table finish in the FA Premier League.
If Lambert ended up at Liverpool, or even Chelsea, you would not have been surprised. Instead, he’s set to go to Aston Villa. During their Martin O’Neill era Villa splurged cash they ultimately realised they couldn’t afford. Martin walked out days before the start of the season in August 2010. Since then they pitched Gerard Houllier at the job before poaching Alex McLeish from relegated city rivals Birmingham.
In short, Villa looks like a club without the vision to build stable progress. Unlike Norwich, who seem to know exactly what they are doing. They even coped with the loss of Neil Doncaster, who left the club a few months before the arrival of Lambert.
Norwich City is the better job.
I’m on Radio Scotland with Jim Spence around 16:15 today, talking about social media and football, square sliced, the price of milk and lawn care.

Tri..
No they were born and bred in Derry and if my memory is correct their dad owned a shop in the bogside before moving to Shantallow…Thanx anyhow…
Vmhan..
Would Derry Ghirl know…
Long shot here…I have asked on here over the years if any of the Derry bhoys know the McLaughlin family who moved from the Bogside to Shantallow 2 (Early 70s)…There was about ten in the family and two of the boys were called Sean and Danny. They would be 54 and 52 years old now….
Roy Croppie…Thanks for posting the link from Radio Shortbread today.
Paul 67…..Another man of the match performance. Now that Tom English has
declared that he believes and stands by everything he writes well let me tell
you Tom.The lunatics on here will be reading your stuff as much as you
read ours.
Croatia playing with no names on the jerseys. I like that.
Lanliq was the Glasgow weapon of choice followed by Eldorado Four Crown and Vordo if you came from Govan.

Kojo is a racist and can never be considered a member of the Celtic family.
————————————————————————————————————-
Would like a definitive of what that is the “Celtic family” .
I am going to assume regard yourself as part of the Celtic family and can therefore banish those who you deem are not. CoCo
Philbhoy ha!
Gordy,ahem, yer manager? Is that what he calls himself?
When you’ve applied for The Man U.,Portsmouth,Motherwell and Arbroath jobs I suppose he has the criteria for the 33rd County.lol.hahahaha

I seem to remember “Old English” as well. Don’t remember Vordo.
I once went to an away game at Motherwell and travelled in the Larkfield (McMillans) bus, me and my big pal were the youngest (17 years old) anyhow it was a midweek game and all the bhoys chipped in for the carry oot and they decided that me and my big pal being the youngest should go and get it..
We evetually found a boozer and asked for six bottles of eldorado. Never heard of it says the barman, the same whith four crown and lani…
Big pal asks wit does the locals drink so the guy shows us a bottle, big pal says that will do six bottles a couple of cans of beer and a couple of lager..
We got inside the park (No problem in those days) and laid the drink at our feet as you did ….Two mins into the game I got a slap on the back of the head accompanied by ya pair of effing idiots …Wits the problem says I,
Look at the label ya daft Bs (Monks Benedictine wine NON ALCHOHOLIC)
I still remember that barmans face to this day…The hun bassa…
Ok Vinny,
Naw I knew Moonbeams was a good CQN man just wondered where was from?
Whereabouts in the city?
