I have a feeling that I'll have departed long before the final whistle. The most wretched season I can remember.

Sort of like SirGTII, although it has a 'Dr Jo' feel about it as well (from what I can remember).

Just remember while you're applauding, most of the recipients of your adulation will be laughing their bollocks off, having earned a fortune for failing so miserably.

Within 2 minutes of the final whistle the stands should be deserted.
Shown the fucking wastrels the same disdain they have shown us this season.
Spot on.
Everybody should pile out at the final whistle.

How anybody would want to stay to appluad those sad sacks of shit, is beyond me.

A lap of "honour" would be inappropriate and embarrassing.

I know it's suppossed to be about mutual appreciation between players and fans but let's be honest, it's a terrible idea and always has been.

Having a 'lap of honour' should be reserved for either winning things or greatly overachieving.

Just having them at the end of each season is pointless and asking for trouble and embarressment (as this year will prove).

Get rid of them until it's been earned.

As Brian said, some of the young players have given their all so a protest seems a bit unfair on them. Hopefully we've now got 3 months to sort things out and whether GH comes back or not, a lot of the slackers will be moved on. This season has been a disaster from the outset and considering we've had a manager walk out, a caretaker manager who didn't work out, a ridiculous injury list, and the hospitalisation of GH to deal with,  then really i'm just pleased we've survived

I have already renamed it as a 'Lapathy'.

Maybe we should all give up for the last 10 minutes and slowly shuffle around like the feckers on the pitch for about half of the season..........

It will be embarrassing if they did anything resembling a lap of honour of even an thank you walk. They have under performed to a man and I would more impressed if they returned 50% of their pay to the Club. Probably the only home match this season where I will leave early ...oh unless I am waiting miserably for an equaliser that will avoid another home defeat.

How about when they 1st come out of the tunnel turn your back on them, let them know that this season is not acceptable, but then also at some point, right at the final whistle or something, belt out Villa til i die.

Make every single one of them walk around the pitch individually, so we can praise the likes of Downing, Clark, Bent and Albrighton, and then give Dunne, Collins, Warnock, Beye, etc. both barrels.
