Fan reaction to impending Relegation.

 They need that bloke to give them their half time talk.. stop pussy footing around with the overpaid  buggers.

It's twats like that, that will start all the argy bargy around the Holte End on Tuesday.

[Witton Warrior]

Anyone seen the video of the bald guy in front of the coach calling them all Wankers and telling them to fuck off.  I know we're shit but bit too far in my opinion

Link?

That guy wants putting in a police van. No need.

I don't like Bacuna either, but a tad harsh that!

And yet if it's 40,000 people in a crowd doing it to Bacuna, or equally calling a referee a wanker, it's probably acceptable.

Nah , the abuse in that clip is simply too much .

He's saying nothing that isn't said by hundreds at the back of the Holte every week - me included - we aren't filmed doing it though
My opinion is that it doesn't matter what we (the fans) do or don't do abuse/support-wise the end is past being nigh
We have been incredibly patient and supportive while we watched disaster after embaressing disaster - it was only the threat of being labelled "fickle" or similar that seemed to keep us quiet - that and our natural Brummie reserve

I reckon we will be in for an open letterfest if things continue

Just think for a minute of how big potentially is the Villa.

The fans realise it but certain people at the club certainly don't and the players are totally unaware. 

[Dave P]

Who do we direct our anger at?

Lerner? - He wants out anyway.
Fox? - He's job is to see the business runs ok which it is.
Reilly? - The new signings are not all that bad
Garde? - He's mopping up someone else's shit
The players? - Maybe

This is a perfect shitstorm I'm afraid made worse by not having a stand alone scapegoat.

If in doubt I always blame Thatcher

That video is toe curlingly embarrassing for the fans.  I have to assume there were no police left otherwise how was he allowed to continue. 

[Mortimer's Bear]

What annoys me is that Lerner is not getting any of this.

[Nelly]

Villa fans have been incredibly patient over the years, turning up in great numbers watching the club decline. The bloke is allowed to to give them a rollicking in my opinion. A lack of effort and a disregard for the club we hold so dear is the real embarrasment. I'm glad they got to see what it means to people.

As least it was not a far a journey as last week....

Frustrating and poor again especially the second half but some of the fans behaviour was not great either. Some booing the players off the bus before the game, booing them at throw-ins etc, the behaviour as they got on the bus, I was ashamed of some of them, drink had been taken but all the press where waiting and baiting for it after the game and of course some play into it. By all means don't clap them on after that display or maybe boo if it takes your fancy but the intimidation and language was appalling .....
I hope Garde sticks it out, the lack of quality is not his fault, everything is negative at the minute he needs to have the time to turn it around.
I think he seems a good guy who will get it right. The players are mentally shot and look petrified to make any mistake or take any risk.

The worry for me now is the lack of leadership above Remi, he again like managers in the past is being lynched and all the pressure is on him. It needs the directors to step in to take the flack and give him some breathing space.

Because the nice approach has got us an amazing 1 victory this season.

[LukeJames]

Everything that bloke in the video said has been said thousands of times on match threads on here.

[Chris Harte]

To me, despite not having a single win to his name so far, this is absolutely not the fault of Remi Garde.

Someone else made the point earlier that the focus of any protest shouldn't be "Lerner Out", but more like "Is this the Bright Future?" or "Who's Qualified to Run The Villa?" I find myself in agreement with this sentiment.

But the players aren't good enough. That's not their fault.
