Of course the 'hard men' from both sides magically disappeared outside the ground.
You can't beat the old "quote" marks to put your point across. It always makes you 100% correct.
You are supposed to get behind your team not have a go at them how do they expect the player's to react it is going to knock there confidence get behind the team i say.
Woah,woah,woah,steady your gallop neddy..Aston Villa is a broad church that gathers its congregation from far and wide,and anybody who follows the team away from home has a valid opinion however they show it.Everything in the garden is far from rosy,you cant dress it up,its poor at the moment,very poor and supporters are starting to get the hump.Just because they choose to vent there spleen in the way some do in no way means they support the team and club any less than you do,in fact i would say they are to be applauded for not sitting there clapping at the end of what was a dismal showing.I think sometimes certain individuals on this board try to play the "i'm a considerably better fan than yow" card with the righteous comments they make,which is cringeworthy,on the other hand you have the more vocal fan who will call a spade a spade and have a go when the performances are clearly shite..

I'm as frustrated as the next man about where we're currently at but screaming at the players that they're shit is hardly the behaviour conducive to improved performances. That said I called Stephen Ireland a lazy prick yesterday so who am I to talk.
I didn't go. Does that mean I cannot say the same?
I mis-read your post. Apologies.
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!!.
