Chant for the manager (or the lack of it)

Is this the first time we've not had a song for the boss?

*Insert name here*'s Claret and Blue Army!

I think he'll really have to achieve something before the majority start chanting his name. Because of the Blues thing it is really that simple.

In all honestly the whole atmosphere at Villa Park is shocking nowadays.

Since MON, Carew and Ash Left we seem to have lost all our chants.

The atmos been lost since mons last season imo. It all fellt like a missed opportunity since the wembley season.
A win against boggies will start to change things. A win against manure will be a major turning point

We did sing houlliers claret and blue army, also gerrard give us a wave, mcleish has had nothing, I said to my mate yesterday I much prefer away games as the atmosphere at VP is appalling.

Not that anyone sings his name at away games

Its not surprising really. Even those you don't dislike him for his past associations, are suspicious of his coaching style. I dont suppose he cares and indifference is a whole lot better than hostility.

it's been a sad couple of seasons... when we had Laursen, Mellberg, Young and Carew we had real heroes out on the pitch. 

We still have Gabby! Hopefully we'll have him for a good while.

Given some of the posts to this and other threads I think I'll start wearing a black arm band to games.
I was a home and away fan untill Tony Barton was sacked, then I started playing Saturdays so I couldn't get there.
I've been coming for the past couple of seasons now and I can't believe how dead the atmosphere is. You can't say it's because of Houlier or Alex McLeish it's been like it for a few years now.
Even during the 70's when we weren't doing so well I'd come out of VP  with a sore throat through singing, even if we lost the crowd would get behind the team.
If we go a goal down these days you hear a few chanting but it goes so quiet you can hear the players.
Let's quit the moaning and support the team.
