    Probably, although a bit of spin and some good results and anything gets forgotten.

    I maintain that if George Graham can go to Spurs, the literally anything can happen.

    I really don't see either of them taking over, we don't talk to the press so they just make things up. Sure we have lost our first four games, but we could only have realistically expected points in one of those games against Wigan.

    I'm fairly sure that at this point last season Swansea hadn't even scored a league goal, while we have scored two against City and United and one against Arsenal.

    Our season proper starts against Villa on Saturday.

    It would seem ludicrously harsh on Adkins to be given the can after the teams they've had to play within the first 4 matches.

    They've shown enough under him against City and United to suggest they will get some results against the smaller sides. Of course it remains t be seen if they will get any results but he at least deserves a chance.

    Exactly, it's not like Southampton have been hammered (apart from Arsenal).

    They've been awesome against Man City and Utd. Surely that must count for something?!

    Come and get it cumslingers!

    A young manager new to the league is an easy target on a slow news day.

    Any thoughts on the Liverpool V Man U game this Sunday? Do you think the Man U fans will chant anti hillsborough songs, or have Fergies words done enough for the fans to behave?

    I think its gonna be a game full of hate myself. Even without the findings of last week, I still think a lot of attention will be on Suarez and Evra.

    Looks like Newcastle in Australia have signed Heskey on a one year deal.

    There will always be some unpleasantness, including Hillsborough/Munich. Unpalatable as it is. Fergie pleading isn't going to make a blind bit of difference.

    I saw that on the listings but didn't realise it was about football. I just assumed Five were jumping in with the current fashion for Essex / Chelsea bimbo TV shows.

    I think the chanting at the weekend has ruined whatever chance there was for the crowd to not act like twats.

    I hope things will go smoothly.
    Most United/Liverpool fans I know understand these things are bigger than petty rivalries and put them aside. There will be a small minority, but that's what they are, a small minority.

    Who make the loudest noise, annoyingly.

    Like when Forests chairman died, there were barely a dozen derby fans chanting about it, but the dicks managed to get picked up in every match report.

    It is a shame that some fans think its ok to chant about the loss of human life. I am a Liverpool fan but both clubs are as bad as each other to be fair. Hopefully they wont ruin it for everyone else.

    Funny he actually had them practicing penalties but never got the chance to use them.

    Interesting game for all concerned, I reckon it's going to be a ragged high energy affair. It would be typical of the Villa side for the last two years to start showing a bit of promise and fluff up the momentum almost straight away but thing might be different under Lambert.

    I really don't know what to expect, I thought we had a good chance but then you looked good on Saturday and our confidence took a beating.

    It's the first game this season I've actually been able to go to so I'm just focusing on that at the moment.

    Indeed, I do actually think that this game could go either way because while we looked good against Swansea and dominated the match for the most part, our team is not full of confidence just yet, it took us a good half an hour to start taking control of the game. So, if Southampton were to get a goal early then I'm not sure we'd cope too well.

    It's also really early to know what Lambert is going to do, he could change it all around again, he seems to have that habit, so it might not gel at all and we'll be crap again.

    I think it's going to be a good game of football regardless of the result. That's kind of what I like about the new Lambert Villa :-)
