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.

Yes, I’d be suspicious too, but something tells me FIFA are on the case. As with Sion, they don’t like being messed around, and generally there’s only one winner. It won’t be thems.

End of Lord of the Rings on TV. The Orcs don’t like it up ’em!
I wonder when Sepp Blatter’s address and personal details will published on FF and when the date for marching on FIFA’S HQ in Zurich will be set? It better no clash wi’ the 12th of July!! They’ll have to have another collection for the angry/ugly fud’s fighting fund.
Any of you Lanarkshire bhoys know if there’s a scummy march in Airdrie tomorrow?
Dropping her indoors over there at her mates in the afternoon and naturally would prefer to avoid the vermin.
Cheers,

Your post demonstrates your; angst, passion and anger about a subject that has been poorly presented to satisfy a base viewing element in England.
You are old enough and wise enough to recall how manipulative state TV can effect the lowest class of humanity’s opinion.
It’s most unfortunate that a once proud (independent) BBC has succumbed to commercialism in the race for viewing figures.
Your post deserves a wider audience – I hope you get the message across.
KTF!

Was just thinking about the huns reading them headlines tomorrow morning just before they set off for their wee daft marches…
There will be trouble ahead…

I understand your anger but, as I am sure you know only too well, there is racism & exclusion in people everywhere. Sadly, it is part of the human condition. Even nations which have suffered from it have individuals amongst them who will still discriminate against others simply on the grounds of them being ‘different’.
Even this site, among the supporters of a club which is based on inclusiveness, you will still find people who are racist & bigoted.
I have only once visited Poland & certainly found nothing other than friendly & kindly people.
No doubt other people will have different experiences.
Similarly, most people visiting us here in Scotland will meet nothing but a warm welcome, no matter where they come from.
However, we all have our sad, misanthropic individuals.
‘ There is so much good in the worst of us,
And so much bad in the best of us,
That it ill becomes any of us
To talk about the rest of us.’
Pay them no heed.
daaan da na daaan dan daaa
hiya
that was trumpets, by the way
If I was El Presidente of the country I’m about to create, I would ban French and Spanish from ever owning trumpets… in their hands, its an abomination.
Anyway, Mr Z, do not fret… in my experience, the Polish have been held in high esteem. You’ll have your problems the same as any country, and you’ll have your gems; good and bad, its international.
Too many Greenock,Gourock, Port wans on.
Time to bring on the real heavy artillery.Kilbowie Kelt,Ron Bacardi where are ya??
