I would rather we just sang "One Stiliyan Petrov" for the 19th minute. It would be a natural progression between wishing him well and things returning to normal.

Anyone offended by the word pleb is deeply disturbed.. also i wont comment on Stu's posts if he doesnt comment on mine. Happy with that?

You can comment on any post you like, but if you call anyone who disagrees with you a pleb or any other insult then you won't be posting on any posts. Is that clear enough?

Agree  Lee. Fulham fans all applauded our applause to be met with No respect etc, Sunderland didn't but then it was just plain ridiculous to sing No respect. its our thing why should anyone else have to follow what we do and give us a round of applause? Its almost we're saying,'look at us and how respectufl we are'. It cheapens it and is frankly pathetic.

I would much rather have a 'ooh aah Paul McGrath chant.' these were the first words out of my 10 year olds mouth..

Bloody hell, I was a late-developer myself but even I had said my first words by the time I was seven!

In what context did you use the word pleb then? It sounded like it was intended as an insult. I will save my respect for those who have truly earned it, troops in Afghanistan, people who have achieved things in life etc. Going to an away match does not qualify.

stu. you always pick on a point in a post.. fans who go away do deserve more respect anyone who thinks different is a pleb... my original post was a light hearted look at the situation. anyway keep being bitter.

I thought that one needed highlighting because I don't agree with the logic. Following Villa to every away game doesn't give you the right to say whatever you like, I'm sorry it just doesn't.

What have I got to be bitter about anyway?

Think we should drop the 19th minute applause now.

Stan knows we all love him and want him to be given the all clear a.s.a.p.

Virtually all our chants are negative songs about the opposition city/town/fans/stadium or about Small Heath. Tedious as fuck.

Spot on. I've been saying this for a while. Petrov knows how we feel about him. We don't have to advertise it to every Tom, Dick or Harry. Let him recover with a bit of dignity. Time to move on, Villa.

Is there enough mass here on H&V  that regularly travels away to start a crusade to  stop "No respect" singing?

A few of us were trying to shut up the fans who were singing "no respect" at a recent away... possibly Fulham lor maybe Southampton, I forget. We were roundly ignored.

We all seem to agree that it should stop, but suggestions on how is what we should be looking at.
Perhaps a page in the programme and a slot on the official site would be a start.

A truly cringeworthy song that embarrasses the majority.
