Yes, the Villa fans have no patience at all, they rounded on McLeish from his first game in charge against Blackburn.

Na, they didn't wait that long, they were giving him shit at Fulham away :-)  And I saw him at The Shakespeare in the July after he signed and gave him a piece of my mind I can tell you.

So we're all pretending the demonstration outside VP before he was appointed didn't happen are we.

A few morons, as well you know Chris.
There was no booing of him until the fateful Bolton game, You and I both know he got a fairly easy ride over the season.

Morons maybe but there were a few hundred of them.

 

Say 300-ish.

That's at best 1% of our average home crowd.

Does anybody know anybody who protested there?
I've never met one.

99% of Villa supporters I spoke to said*

'What a shit appointment, but we have to give him a chance.'

* I also spoke to a Cornish Fisherman who said it was becoming increasingly impossible to earn a living under the Labour Party backed EU fishing quotas, plus a black man who told me he felt racially marginalised under the Labour Governmment.

500 according to that report above, so about 1.8% of the average home crowd.

All fucking idiots anyway, the one in the bodywarmer who can barely speak and the meathead climbing up on the fence.
Hardly typical Villa supporters.

I love it when she says "I will," to the not renewing season tickets comment right at the start.

I've never seen that video before.

There really are some absolute scumbags who associate themselves with the Villa.  The first two interviewed looked and sounded like they needed help getting dressed in the morning.

I'll wager a lot of them only go to a game once in a blue moon, not to mention various non-Villa ne'er do wells who wandered down there to get their fizogs on the TV.

I loved the reaction when the second chump got asked if he had a season ticket.  It's people like him that Winston Churchill was thinking about when he said the best argument against democracy was a conversation with the man on the street.

The older chap who was interviewed after the first two brain donors seemed far too sensible to be caught up in all that nonsense.

He did, but then he let himself down by saying McLeish wasn't wanted partly because of his Blues connection.

If Blues had Pep Guardiola as manager I'd love us to take him off their hands!

That's the point most sensible fans made last year.

Right, but for the wrong reasons.

99% of normal fans were right for the right reasons.

They were no more right than the rest of us, who were pretty certain it would end in tears but didn't act the idiot about it.

She goes to pretty much every Villa game and somehow seems to know all the players

Albrighton got a horrendous reaction against Reading when his attempted cross went miles into the Holte.

And he deserved it as well.
