Villa "fans"

[fredm]

Had the privilege today of spending 90 minutes with people wearing Villa colours stood behind me who profess to be "fans".  Had to put up with incessant abuse, criticism and ridicule of certain players from the 1st minute onwards.  If it wasn't Dunne, it was Warnock, or Gabby, or Ireland, or Downing, or Friedel, or Ash.  I can't remember when a word of encouragement was spoken.

And to make matters worse, when the substitutions were made, it just showed the world how tactically inept our manager is, and if that is what he is going to do, he might as well f**k off now!!.

I'm confused ..........are you having a pop at Villa supporters who have paid
good money to travel on a Sunday, and witness let's be honest a very poor
performance

or

The manager for his substitutions, when all he had on the bench was
a 37 year old (World Cup Winner) who has only trained with the depleted
squad for a couple of hours, plus 5 'kids' with a handful of Premier starts
between them .

I think he's saying he was surrounded by a load of moaning bastards.

You can't beat the old "quote" marks to put your point across. It always makes you 100% correct.

Welcome to Club Villa.

Do you think so ? Thanks

I don't know if it was my ears playing tricks on me, but it sounded as though there was a rousing chorus of "Go back to India" in the middle of the first half.

Which is obviously charming.

I was referring to the OP, but you're most welcome anyway.

any proper fan will realise the bloke is doing the best he can with the resources available - ive never seen the point at spending £30 for a ticket and £20 on getting there and back if all you are going to do is berate the team

As far as the abuse goes, that's just the way it is (like it or not).  Personally, I would of put Pires in earlier for Ireland.

[Phil from the upper holte]

You could argue that if you pay your money then your entitled to your opinion, there is a lad who sits in the holte and he is such a bell end all he does is complain that Houllier stands with his arms folded and he is showing negative behaviour according to him!

Do as I do just ignore him/them

I would be very, very concerned if I ever attended a Villa match and wasn't  surrounded by moaning bar stewards.

In fact I'd check to see whether the catering staff were lacing the pies and soft drinks with prozac, so out of character would it be with the regular match going experience.

I have just posted in Golden Muppets and on Facebook about some of the absolute moronic  Villa 'fans' who we were by today.

It was our own fault, we moved from the relative safety of the 'away scheme family' to sit at the front.  The stewards and police had a hard job of it.

What got my goat most, was the slagging off of our players, who were within clear earshot, during the game.  Whatever is happening, was it really necessary to shout at Downing when he was making a cross into the box something along the lines of 'get the cross in you f****** useless f****** C***.   

That was just one thing, the tracey andrews song, the racist Black B................

[Dave Clark Five]

These particular people spent most of the second half looking into the area to our left and gesturing at the, equally moronic, idiots in there.
I pity those who had to travel home with them.

Unfortunately I ended up right next to the home fans at the away leg of the semi last year. The Villa fans around us spent most of the game gesturing at the blackburn fans. We then had all sorts thrown at us at the final whistle, followed by more throat slitting gestures, etc, etc. Of course the 'hard men' from both sides magically disappeared outside the ground.
