Really looking forward to this one. Lets get behind the team today and make sure were heard at Villa Park. But most importantly lets give our old friend Mr Lambert the frosty reception he deserves.

So called BIGGER club, you will only be hearing one set of fans today MrBigshot, and thats that old familer sound of 'ON THE BALL CITY'
 
..... most importantly lets give our old friend Mr Lambert the frosty reception he deserves.

Sorry, I can't agree with this. The biggest contribution to our being where we are was made by Paul Lambert, Ian Culverhouse and Garry Karsa over three years of dedicated service to our club. They stuck to the task and delivered more than we could ever have hoped for, despite -- as we now know -- some discord behind the scenes. Villa may not be a top six club at the moment, but for an ambitious young manager with issues in his current post, it is a reasonable step on the ladder -- a step Ron Saunders, for example, took earlier in our history. People say Lambert could have gone without taking action against the club; it is equally true that the club could have let him go without taking action against him. We do not know the facts, and when the tribunal delivers its judgement it may be that they find in PL's favour -- as they found in Colchester's favour when we took PL from them. I hope our supporters just show their appreciation of the man who so transformed the fortunes of our club, and show the dignity, generous mindedness and respect they expect him to show to us? <ok>
 
I only wish I could be there today JG, just make sure you don't boo PL cos he'll revel in it as well you know.

2-1 City win <ok>

Sorry can't agree with this robbie, he's blotted his copybook IMO regardless of what he acheived here. My football club did as much for him as he did for us make no mistake, fact is Paul Lambert is cold and calculated and generally not a very nice man, bollocks to him and we move on.

Chris Hughton's Green and Yellow Army! <ok>
 
I sincerely hope the travelling fans have a bit more substance than to start booing Lambert.
Unless they have serious memory lapse, we were second bottom of the third tier of English football when PL came in - and that was only because Saints had that 10 point deduction.
To do what he did - on a far-from-Mancini type budget is nothing short of miraculous and will remain so for all eternity.
I'd love the three points, of course I would, but our fans simply fuelling the bad blood that already exists between NCFC anf PL can be of no possible benefit.

Just get behind the yellows, everything else will take care of itself <ok>
 
Yeah, whatever Robbie. No room for sentiment in football, im as loyal as the next manager in the dug out. As far as im concerned we are now divorced, and abit like the ex misses, you once loved them, but secretly hope there next relationship is a complete failure, because they should have stayed with you.

How about 'your getting sacked in the morning' haha, listen out for it if were 3-0 up!!

Whatever the rights and wrongs of the matter we have to admit that without Lambert we would be at least one - and maybe two divisions lower than we are.It's nasty how it's ended up but I am not ready to place the blame 100% on Lambert.Bad decision to go to Villa though,they look crap.

I don't know how "nice" or otherwise PL is kickitoff, never having got to know him on a personal level. But it seems odd to me to show one's disapproval of those one thinks "not very nice", by being "not very nice" oneself! Better to behave nicely and earn the respect of all who witness it IMO. <ok>

Well that's your opinion and you're fully entitled to it, we'll just have to agree to disagree <ok>
 
Robbie, your ruining my jubilent mood on the way to the match. Crack open a beer, and chill out mate. Which side of the bed did u get out of this morning!!??!!

'Yellows, yellows, yellows!!'
 
I'm between the two opinions, I'd go for a polite, but restrained acknowledgement of what Pl achieved for us, and then massive support for CH, with a some less polite chanting in PL direction. Seems fair to me
 
'There's no room for sentiment?' (what a horrible cliché by the way) Surely there's no room for hatred/aggressiveness/abuse either?
 
Holt on Lambert in today's Guardian.

He should get the utmost respect for what he's done," the Norwich captain says. "A lot of people debate it, but if he's not one of the greatest managers Norwich have had, I'd be amazed given where he took the club from to where it is now. In this current climate, given how hard each division in the Football League is, it's frightening the job he did. And, to be honest, if he doesn't get clapped and doesn't get the respect he deserves, it's an absolute disgrace. It's been documented that he's suing Norwich and Norwich are suing him. But we don't know what's gone on. All the fans can judge on is what he has done for the club.
 
Yeah, alright, i will leave you guys to worry about Paul Lamberts feelings.

Im sure the NCFC fans will create a cracking atmoshphere today, and you wont convince me that Lambert doesnt deserve abit of stick today, but heyho, enjoy the match peeps!!!

OTBC
 
Let's try to treat it like just another match. If it becomes some sort of vendetta, it all gets clouded in emotion. And one thing that was great about the Arsenal victory was how cool, how well-organised, how rational it was. We didn't give them a sniff because we controlled our performance so well. Let's not risk that with hatred and strong feelings. Let's just repeat the Arsenal performance.

That's going a bit far the other way!
