Given that we'll struggle to get rid of some of our highest earning dross, I see no harm in making it clear to them that we want them gone.
It'll be interesting to see what happens on the final whistle against Newcastle. I fully expect the players to move quicker than they have all season when (if?) fans run onto the pitch.

Just make their lives as uncomfortable for someone on 30-40 grand a week as it is possible to do within the law. If you think about it, every time the likes of Gabby or Richards goes into town shopping, or to a restaurant, or the movies, they must encounter dozens of Villa fans.

Whereas previously they'd maybe have people wanting selfies, or autographs, or just a 2 minute yarn with one of their heroes; I think we as fans can do our bit in letting them know exactly what we think.

Let them know they're a disgrace, not fit to wear the shirt, stealing a living from us and poor imitations of bygone true legends of the club. Make their lives uncomfortable to the point where they have to weigh up whether it's best for them to keep drawing their fat, unearned salaries, or take a new deal, any deal to get away.

Really?!  You're advocating approaching players away from the club simply to give them verbal abuse?  It's really not that important.

What if their kids are there?  How scary would it be for a young child to see their dad get abuse from a random stranger in the street?

If you really want to give them some stick, do it while they're on the pitch - after that, they're people like you and me.

I'm with Robbo.  Fuck em.

More to the point is it our fault? Did anyone watch MOTD saturday? Monkey man Keown saying it's not easy for the players to be playing in toxic atmosphere's or something like that, something similar was said on Soccer Saturday by Thompson.

So is it us or what?

The atmosphere wasn't toxic when we won 1 of the opening 20 games was it?
This. This exactly.

I'd lamp him one and no mistake. Richardson would probably miss

In Italy, I understand ultras have been known to turn up at training armed with bats, crowbars and the like to let the players know that they're dis-satisfied.

A measured response mate, but the selling club usually receives a fee, unless you are suggesting we pay clubs to take certain players off our books? Some of the players we're currently burdened with, that's not too far off the mark!

Rather than brawling in Grand Central with a millionaire player of limited ability, attitude and intellect, while his opportunistic partner stood by checking her look in the nearest shop window, I would prefer to stop in my tracks and catch their eye with a particularly stiff "Paddington Stare".

That'll learn 'em!

Easy, I'm handy when I'm pished. I'd take the biggest out first, then the rest would shit their keks

If we could clear the decks at as close to break even as possible, that would be a massive result.  If (big if, I know!) we could get £5m for Richards, that would go a long way to making this possible.

You've seen the size of some of them? Like kids who are all now bigger than their parents when they're about 12, footballers have become giants almost overnight.

Yep, but it aint the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog. Which means I could probably do the lot of them with my one-inch punch ( and don't anyone substitute the word "punch" for "penis" and tell me they've fixed my quote)

As some French philosopher once said, you don't stop fighting the gorilla when you're tired, you stop fighting the gorilla when it gets tired or some old shit like that.
