Are you proud to be a Villa fan today?
There has been a lot written on here, lots of ridicule in the press and more to come until the Tottenham game will cause us to move on from yesterdays heavy loss.
Well I can tell you I'm massively proud to be a Villa fan. I was in a supermarket yesterday afternoon near my house. Now I'll grant you living miles away from Birmingham means I likely won't have a sniggering toothless and fingerless nose laughing at me. But I was at the checkout and had Villa hooded top on. A bloke with a Scottish accent standing in line behind me said,"You're a bit brave wearing that today aren't you?" My answer was very simple, "If you can't wear your colours when you lose then when do you wear them?". When I said that the bloke said "you're right". The cross he had to bear was being a Ross County fan so knows all about being on the other end of a result.
Very simply, I will die a Villa fan whether we lose every game from here on in or win everything else in sight. This is my club and no defeat, however painful will ever change that.
Yesterday was shit beyond words but I know we will recover. And I'm really looking forward to watching us do it and proving everyone wrong.
UP THE VILLA
-
Always.
-
Always have been, always will be.
Aston Villa, Aston Villa, we'll support you evermore. VTID
-
I watched the game in my club(Northfield Town F.C) and i must confess to sinking further and further in my chair as the goals flew in. There were probably only about 4 or 5 Villa fans present the vast majority of others being noses or baggies with other oddities thrown into the mix. Due to my pride or whatever you want to call it i make it clear to all in there where my loyalties lie and throughout the afternoon and post match good natured comments flew around with gay abandon, but then at 8 o'clock the whole room of 'bastards' stood up and gave a minutes applause. A few expletives were emitted from my mouth.....but all good natured. Bastards!!!!!
-
Always you dont opt in or out based on one result, if that was the case last season villa park would have been empty....
-
I was embarrassed by the result, but embarrassed to be a Villan? Never in my life
I got my claret and blue colours on today and there being shown off more than the win against Liverpool last week
UTV, VTID
-
Days like yesterday only strengthen my resolve, the fact that the Albion fans are now acting like 'noses only serves to embarrass them rather than us.
-
I had similar from Chelski and West Ham fans yesterday. Always wear my colours, every time we play. Any other fan is welcome to take the piss if they want, they will do it only once and if they keep on having a go words are exchanged. If they keep on going, my Villa instinct comes to the fore and i just cannot help myself giving the piss taking arseholes a fooking good shouting down. Albion and the Noses can go suck my .... for all i care. And as for the Chelski, tedious twats, well, i really dont want to waste time talking about them. UTV.
-
I posted this on Facebook yesterday when responding to the inevitable piss-taking that ensued from my "friends" some of whom are staunch (and some not so staunch - i.e. gloryhunting) Chelsea fans in NZ:
Villa till I die. Premier League, Championship or Conference. Win, draw or 8-0 loss. Nobody can accuse us of being gloryhunters. That is all.
-
Obviously!
I'd be a proud Villa fan if we got relegated to the conference, yes yesterday hurt and the mocking and taunting stings but it was one game yes one nightmare-ish game but at the end of the day I fuckin love Aston Villa and I love the fact my 12yr old son born and bred in Coventry feels exactly the same!
Most important thing us fans can do us get behind that young team at tea time on Boxing day and cheer them onto victory!
-
In defeat, defiance.

Even during the darkest times of being a Villa fan nobody can take this away and we bloody earned that trophy we didnt buy it like yesterdays opponents!
(sorry for double post)
-
I love my kids but when they come home with a shit school report how can I proud of that.
-
I'd rather be a Villa fan on the morning after our record defeat than a fan of any other club at the moment of their greatest triumphs.
-
It is stupid question really because it is not like there is a choice.
And the fact that Villa have under-achieving for a hundred years now, is something you just have to get used to.
Read the history and it is all bad news from the end of WW1 and nothing has changed.
The same repeated mistakes and always one step behind every innovation in the game.
There have been some moments to take pride in but it is hard to take much pride in a club which has been so badly run for so long.
Whether it is 1967, 1987 or 2013, it's very much a case of: same shit, different year.
And always the sentimental appeals to pride and loyalty, while the guilty men take the piss.

Exactly, my friends seem to hate my resolve. There United "fans", they wouldn't know what a true fan was if it wasn't for me
-
I posted this on the post match thread but it is more relevant here:-
One thing that did make me smile yesterday I had to go up town after the game was walking through the city centre and saw two guys walking towards us, they were nicely drunk and singing Villa songs as loud as they could they stopped to sing outside the Villa shop as well, makes you proud to be a Villa fan and why we have the best fans in the world.
-
Always proud to be a Villa fan. The result doesn't matter, we can take pride in our club. It was a good contrast actually, the Chelsea fans are a pathetic bunch as highlighted by their 16th minute applause. Whether they win the league or not, they're still an embarrassing club.

Exactly. One billion quid is what it cost Abramovitch to turn a club the size of Crystal Palace into one that can lift that trophy and beat Aston Villa.
Even as totally ridiculous as modern football now is I am very sure Villa will be back on top where we belong. The club has had many setbacks over the years and our strength is that we always overcome them - and we always overcome them the right way, too. There's plenty more paragraphs, chapters and volumes to be written in Villa's story.
EDIT- And, by the way, in the grand scheme of things, yesterday's result would barely be a sentence in a paragraph of said story. Turn the page and move on.
-
Always proud.
We didn't need extra time and penalties when we beat Bayern!
-
went to my church's carol service last night, knew i was going to get some stick, so wore my claret and blue scarf
a Hammers fan who in fairness is a good mate said to me 'ive never seen West Ham lose 8 nill'
i said 'no you've never seen them win the european cup either have you mate'
i was quite proud of that retort
there can be no other fans on the planet (of a certain age) that have seen there team play in the 3rd tier of English football, got dicked 8 nill in the top tier and also won the european Cup and League Championship
-

Loads of Villa fans can't say that though. All we have is the humiliating batterings.

There is no need for that Dave.
There is nothing factually to dispute about that opinion and so I did not expect a response.

Of course!
It'll take a lot more than a defeat against the bastard sons of fucking Gazprom and TOWIE to shake my faith! UTV!

The ignore function really needs to be enabled on this site.

This.
I watched the game in a local pub with my lad here in Cambs. There's always a bit of good natured banter with the Cambridge Reds but as the goals started to wrack up and the locals started laughing at us I got mad. I'm normally a very mild mannered chap but when one of them said they 'wouldn't want to be Villa watching this' I lost it and informed him in no uncertain terms that he would 'f**king LOVE to be Villa cos then he'd have a life'.
It was a lame line and I'm not proud of swearing at a stranger in front of my son (football brings out my inner hooligan) but I'm as proud to be a Villa fan today as I ever have been.

That's slipping away! Villa are bloody ageing me even quicker as well.
-
Bollox . If people want to take the piss then let 'em. My level of pride (I am not even sure pride is quite the right term) has very little to with whether we win or not.
Anyway I'm off to find a Charlton fans forum, being pre internet we never properly took the piss out of them for losing 11-1 to us.

I'm not sure I can really muster the same feeling. Being a Villa fan is what I am, it's been handed down to me through generations - like a disability ;)

Where do you get off saying it's been all 'bad news since WW1'
You bloody loon.
-
I still have pride.
I don't mind other Villa fans being gloomy and telling me it's shit, they've paid their dues and like Bobby Brown, it's their perogative.
What I won't tolerate is non-Villa people taking the piss, if they dare to have a go at the club, they get a round of fucks as a bare minimum.

That is more like it.
Now that is a proper grown-up response.
I don't seem to remember the fans needing a group-hug every time the Villa lost in the Third Division.
But these days everyone has to re-take their wedding vows every fortnight, and the same seems to apply to football.

I wonder what would have been said if the 'net was around in 1968.
-
I've had shit this morning off people who know nothing about football or have ever spoken to me about it before.
Always proud of my club, whatever the result, whatever division they may be in.
-
Any one of us is worth a 1,000 of their chavvy, glory hunting, johnny come lately, classless tossers
And the ones I know realise that deep down too
-
being proud of who we are will keep us together as Paul Lambert rebuilds us. I think he said exactly the right things yesterday and we'll see the response on Boxing Day. We all knew that the sea was going to be choppy, but nobody saw that wave coming. That said, our ship ain't sunk and if we stick together we'll get through this. Record defeat or not we've had way darker days as a club. And fuck the johnny come lately lottery winners too. Takes a lot more than 10 years to have a proper history, and our contribution to the game stands tall with the best of them. We'll take this on the chin and we'll keep coming.
-
What was really ironic yesterday was the complete change in attitude of the Chelsea fans from their last home game. Then, it was Rafa out, One Di Matteo, the 16th minute applause etc. Yesterday on the TV, you could see a few fans stood up and started applauding Di Matteo, but most looked around bemused as if to say "eh, what? Oh yeah", then sheepishly got up and started clapping. The most fickle fans in the country and wankers to a man. How I would love to shove it back down their throats at Wembley.
-
Had some serious shit today from people who don't normally come out of the woodwork, I must admit I was a bit aggressive in my response Christmas or not, but I am and always will be proud to be a Villan.
We are like wounded lions at the moment , but we all know how dangerous they can be, anyway what is a group of lions called ?
-
VILLA till i die a love that will last forever UTV VTID
-
We're all still Villains and all that, no one is going to stop supporting the club because of yesterday. However, that result wasn't just shit, it was off-the-map shit. A total and utter shameful performance that's tattoo'd itself onto the club's history forever. I thought I'd be a bit more chilled today than I was yesterday, but I'm not, I'm effing livid.

PRIDE - which is really quite appropriate

They don't have to look that deep really richard.
-
Aston Villa are singularly unique in the world of football and the odd freak result, which could happen to any team at any time, will never change that or the pride that I feel in supporting them.
Shoulders back, chin up, and remember who the piss-takers are when it's their turn, as it surely will be one day! What goes around comes around remember.
-
What are trying to get at TV,yesterday was worse than anything under TSM.You keep banging on about pride, but how can you have pride in that performance?
-
COLOURS ARE ON
MORE THAN EVER C0ME ON YOU VILLA BOYS :D
-
What are trying to get at TV,yesterday was worse than anything under TSM.You keep banging on about pride, but how can you have pride in that performance?
The Villa fans put in a decent performance again, I met Nigel Kennedy as well, top man. Also, unless I've missed it, the club or the manager hasn't said anything about the support we gave them yesterday when Chelsea were knocking the ball into the net at will while their fans stayed silent.
-

Yes the performance was horrendous. I'm not hiding from that at all. I'm not onl about pride in the performance because that would be nuts. What I am suggesting is that instead of us piling onto the club we need to pull together. There's enough outsiders taking shots at us that the very last thing we need is to be turning on the club and each other. If that's the route we take then we may as well book a trip to Barnsley and the sty now. We need a united front now more than ever.

True,that's it in a nutshell we turn up whatever,it's not about pride when you lose like that,just look forward to the next game.
-
Always proud albeit I've not attended matches regularly for 25 years. I started supporting Villa properly early in season 67/68 so the only way from then was up (and I count the 2 seasons in Div 3 as being on the way up)
As for piss taking, I can actually take it on the chin from others as long as it's witty, one-off, banter and from genuine football fans who've been through it themselves. Couldn't take it from glory-hunters or non-football fans though.

Exactly the same - The Board Must Go.
But these young keyboard warriors ain't fit to paint the bedsheets of the Children of the Revolution I tell ya !
-
I'll always be proud to support my club as I have done since childhood but yesterday was hard to take.
-
A Blackpool fan I work with was just giving it some, claiming that we should be thrown out of the league for being beaten 8-0. When asked about his teams record defeat he didn't have an answer, so I looked it up on his behalf:
1-10
at home
against Small Heath.
He's gone quiet.
-
I think this site is grown up enough apart from a few to know where we are at the moment.Christ knows what VT was like last night.I just think being asked if we had lost our pride in our great club is a bit much.
-
I got a bit of banter from family this morning, this afternoon I stuck a replica villa kit on my Jack Russell (Ellis) and took him a walk. Yes I am proud of Villa.
-
Always proud, sometimes frustrated but I love this club!

Yep I did, I grew up with terriers and know they are little bastards, so thought it was a good name.

I watched the game in my club(Northfield Town F.C) and i must confess to sinking further and further in my chair as the goals flew in. There were probably only about 4 or 5 Villa fans present the vast majority of others being noses or baggies with other oddities thrown into the mix. Due to my pride or whatever you want to call it i make it clear to all in there where my loyalties lie and throughout the afternoon and post match good natured comments flew around with gay abandon, but then at 8 o'clock the whole room of 'bastards' stood up and gave a minutes applause. A few expletives were emitted from my mouth.....but all good natured. Bastards!!!!!
Is it wrong that I thought the minutes applause was brilliant?
Always proud to be claret and blue - there are always jumps in the road but we are Aston Villa and we will overcome.
-
I would never not be proud to have followed the world's greatest football club throughout my entire life, we're Aston Villa and you're either one of us or you aren't.

I had to chuckle at that too.
Always proud to be a Villa fan. Bit pissed off about yesterday, but despite the football, and feeling ill, we had a good day out.
-
Of course. And it is worth remembering we are spoilt when you compare our cushy club to those fans who year in year out support teams in lower divisions who never have any hope of promotion or winning anything.
-
Bit crushed today still, but got my Villa tracksuit top on claret & blue AVFC across the back, head held high and off shopping around Vancouver. Villa til I die!!!
-
I was working. It was 3-0 when I got out and I left it until the 90 to check the score.
I've not seen anything of the game - although the highlights were on in the pub earlier and my mate told me to watch Guzan's save - and I don't intend to.
-
I feel a perverse sense of pride apropos witnessing (albeit courtesy of premieradlive) such a low moment in Villa history.
-
Nah, that's it for me. I am going to burn my shirt and sell my priceless collection of memorabilia. I can't take any more tossers coming up to me and saying Aston Villa? Aston Villa? I want to follow a big club who win things. I want to walk into a cockney cocktail bar with my head held high. F*uck you Aston Villa you have gone too far this time. Eight f*cking nil. In any case I can get to Chelsea or Arsenal or Hotsperms on the train. No more f*cking roadworks on the M6. Yippee!!!! No more driving. Get pissed on the train.
It is beyond pride, way way beyond.
You are proud of winning a Nobel prize or an Olympic gold medal. That is pride.
Being an Aston Villa fan is a lifetime of love and devotion, nothing more, nothing less
-
I'm not proud, just very very angry. I don't like us being part of some flawed experiment using kids by a manager who will no doubt move one once we have inevitably dropped out of the Premier League. (I did say I was angry).
Also quite irritated by the "it's only one game" brigade. Yup, one game indeed ....... That we lost 8-0 FFS.
-
I am always proud to be a villan, and so are my two fellowcountrymen, members of the Latin Lions, that spent about 800 $ and quarrelled with their girlfriends (that wanted to spend with them the Christmas Eve) to see the worst Villa defeat ever! ;D

What are trying to get at TV,yesterday was worse than anything under TSM.You keep banging on about pride, but how can you have pride in that performance?
The difference is that the players we have are capable of getting something in the next few matches. Imagine the dread of the Xmas fixture list after a drubbing like that with TSM in charge.

I'll always be a proud Villa fan, but yesterday's result was inexcusable, and now stands written in stone for all time, or at least until we let in nine, which I hope never happens. Being a masochist, I watched the entire match this morning, and it was just complete and utter capitulation.
-
And a tell you why it hurts even more,no Christmas card off Randy this year!

Just waited for confirmation that this is the Club used by my family who live over there. Wouldn't be at all surprised if my brother was involved in this.
-
and now stands written in stone for all time
Every club has a heaviest defeat written in stone. Barcelona have managed a 12-1 defeat.
-
Always.
Every day I live.
Aston Villa has been the one consistently inconsistent thing in my life. I know where I stand with AVFC. Unconditional love!
Seen a great deal since 1962, and the good, almost unbelievable stuff, massively outweighs the bad.
UTV!
VTID!
-
Whenever we have won something we are Villa - the same goes for when we lose - We are Villa
There is no choosing - no doubts - no apostasy
There may be sadness - distress - embaressment at a performance even
But we are Villa - and the others aren't
-
It's my club, and I'd never want to support anyone else. But the last 3 seasons have been an utter farce.
I'm not sure I do see any green shoots either to be honest. But they'll always be my team and it's just one of those things. I've long since resigned myself to the fact I support a pretty desperate bunch. But what can you do ?

there is nothing stupid about the question. Reading the post match thread and subsequent comments I simply asked the question as to whether people are still walking around proud of the club they support? Or are they hiding away in shame due to one result. My point being that it is one result and we have lot of accomplishments to fall back on that one result however shit can never take away. My post is as much about remembering who we are as opposed to who we were in the grand scheme of things, a split second in time yesterday.

The difference is that the players we have are capable of getting something in the next few matches. Imagine the dread of the Xmas fixture list after a drubbing like that with TSM in charge.
Do we though ?, weren't we better off this time last year ?. Who are these players and where have they been hiding all season is my worry
-
I support a great club. Even if we drop a few divisions that doesn't change. We will have good teams and bad teams but we will always be Aston Villa, a geat club steeped in history, tradition and class.
Dear Chelsea,
form is temporary, class is permanent.
Yours,
Aston Villa.

I've just been on Soccernet and just read the ESPN football moments of the year. The main feature is about when the news b roke about Stans illness and how Stan, the Club and the fans reacted.
Forget yesterday, this article alone makes me so proud to be a Villa fan. We may not be the best anymore but when and where it matters we are all class and dignity.
I love Villa.

What are trying to get at TV,yesterday was worse than anything under TSM.You keep banging on about pride, but how can you have pride in that performance?
The difference is that the players we have are capable of getting something in the next few matches. Imagine the dread of the Xmas fixture list after a drubbing like that with TSM in charge.
Which is why the question in first place was stupid.
there is nothing stupid about the question. Reading the post match thread and subsequent comments I simply asked the question as to whether people are still walking around proud of the club they support? Or are they hiding away in shame due to one result. My point being that it is one result and we have lot of accomplishments to fall back on that one result however shit can never take away. My post is as much about remembering who we are as opposed to who we were in the grand scheme of things, a split second in time yesterday.
Of course they are proud,it's part of being a football fan.If you was a newbie on here people would think you are trolling.

I'm so glad i don't support any other club than this one.

that's complete bollocks. I was attemting to offer the bigger picture about who we are and not solely concentrate on one event that doesn't define us. Maybe, before even insinuating what my post is about it would be better if actually read it. The mere fact that you would remotely suggest that is everything that my creating this thread is attempting to counter. That's clearly flown over your head.

I love my kids but when they come home with a shit school report how can I proud of that.
You will still be proud of your kids but disappointed in their current performance. It's your pride that will help them to improve as you try hard to work on removing the obstacles that resulted in a shit report because if you didn't who would?

Still proud to be a Villa fan.
Results like this happen from time to time. Admittedly not to us usually, but they do happen. Wigan fans are no doubt still proud of their club despite losing by eight goal margins twice in one season a few years back.
Meanwhile, I remember Arsenal getting beat 8-2 at Manyoo last season.
All the noses can sneer and take the piss all they like. I notice all the ones I have on Facebook NEVER talk about their own club, that's broke, in the lower reaches of the Championship and will probably drop like a stone when they sell their 'keeper in January.
So to summise, I'm still proud to ba a fan because every club gets this sort of thing occasionally
-
I will be proud and still support the Villa if they were in the Midland Co Op Dairies league division 2 getting thrashed by Tamworth's third team. I have bought into the the name, the badge, the colours and the history.
The choice is not mine. Aston Villa made the choice by being there and "got me" forever.
-
Another better fan than you thread great.
-
Couldn't believe what I was watching yesterday,it could of been 12-0 but I always have an always will be a proud villa fan!!
-
I am obviously still proud to be a Villa fan but I sincerely hope the players are ashamed of that gutless and embarrassing performance. Guzan excepted.
The heaviest defeat in my Life of supporting Villa. Not the hardest to stomach, but the worst defeat.
-
Not a game I watched but listened to Green and Murray on BBC5L; painful and dperessing.
I have a number of good Chelsea-supporting mates and I'm impressed that they have at least given me no grief today. I appreciate their respect / restraint.
Supporting Villa is for life; not just for Christmas.
-
Always proud
and what made me even prouder was the reaction of the supporter who accompanied me along the painful walk to and the subsequent tube journey amongst the piss taking cockeys.
Everyone to a man and women stood chest out and gave back as good as we got all very good natured despite the pain of witnessing one of the most shameful days in our history
-
Up the Villa!
-
The six we shipped at Newcastle in the immediate post MON era was a worse result because they could have had 10 and Chelsea are an infinitely better side than Newcastle.
-
Privilaged by Blood & Birth Place (Lozells) to support "The Greatest Football Club in the World".
There is never a day when I am not proud to be a Villa Fan.

Hard to believe that only 4 years ago, Manchester City were trounced 8-1 by Middlesbrough, as fans protested over the sacking of Sven Goran Erikkson.

always! claret and blue flows through me and my kids. usually one of my first thoughts in a morning and last thoughts at night.

Bad bad bad result but all i can say is Bollocks to everyone - I`M VILLA!!!

Indeed, I don't think there's ever been a time where I haven't been proud to be a villa fan. Even last year watching the worst football I've ever seen from us I was proud to be a fan.

When I was young my father said
"Son, I have something to say"
And what he told me, I'll never forget
Until my dying day
He said, "Son, you are a Villa fan
And that's the way to stay
Happy be a Villa fan
Until your dying day?"
Until they lose 8 nil

If there's a toe curling thread of the year competition i nominate this one. More cheese than Sainsburys.

Always proud but highly embarrassed at losing 8-0. I hope Lerner is also feeling the same, but I doubt it. He needs to state his intentions for our club - if he won't back PL then sell-up to someone with more drive and ambition to avoid more beatings like Sunday. I just don't see what Lerner gets out of owning Villa.
-
The thing with modern football is that there will be a lot more teams getting hammered 8,9 and 10-0 in the next coming seasons.
I am gutted and took a lot of shit over christmas about this , even non football girls coming up to me , what about Villa ? how humiliating ! what I replied , who for Liverpool last week after we beat them 3-1 or Norwich in the cup . I will move on but I know even the likes of baggies , aresnal and Manure , can easily get hummilated in this league , which they have all done. We just have to learn from this experience quick and I am sure we will.
I am always proud , my 7 year old son who has not got the Villa bug yet or the football thing to be honest , probably my fault , as my Dad was a season ticket holder when I was 7 , so he took me down straight away and I never looked back and I dont go down as often as I used to.
But yesterday , he had opened a few presents and knew he had his favourite ones to open yet and then said to me , can I have some paper and some coloured crayons ? what for I said ? he said I want to design the new Aston Villa football kit for next season and I want you to send it off the the club .
That made me happy and damn proud.

I said it before somewhere but Chelsea could put ten past the Villa and still not have a tenth of our class.

I'm loud and I'm proud!
-
Say it loud (We're cack and we're proud)!
-
Proud of the Villa but appalled at the lack of response from the club since Sunday. Have they actually expressed any regret or offered an apology to the fans? The owner and executives just seem so remote and detached.

What? And we say sorry to them when we go to the likes of Liverpool and win?

Indeed.

Even small heath fans are proud of their crock of shit club, so I don't see how an 8-0 defeat is going to erode our pride. But the fact remains, as a sporting entity, we've developed a pervasive losing culture, which we're well into the groove of by now. It's very hard to change that.
-

I can give you a whole list of matches over the years that they have never apologised to me for. The number of times I have sat there seething waiting for the postman to arrive with my personalised letter from the club - it makes me so angry. Perhaps I should complain to somebody? There used to be something called The Consumers Association but it may have changed its name.

Did you miss Paul Lambert's utterly original and by no means excruciatingly tedious "we'll pick ourselves up and go again"?
-
On the subject of pride. Not only am I proud of Villa today, I am very, very proud of my daughter. Every Christmas she has to entertain her partner's plastic gooner father and her bonehead knuckledragger uncle.
She came to see me this morning and related the whole sorry torment Christmas Day was for her. The pair of them even went so far as when my daughter was making phone calls to chant "eight nil" at the tops of their voices just in case it was Villa fan she was speaking to.
I fully intend to mark the card of her partner's dad and point out that we treat his gooner son with good manners and respect and I fully expect the same treatment for my daughter. As for her uncle I am going to stab the bastard (in effigy) (sorry mods).

What exactly would you have had him say in public? Maybe you would have preferred he gave them public bollocking Phil Brown style on the pitch after the game too?
An apology, FFS. Some people will be demanding another dinner also. It's sport. Sometimes it's shit, and shit happens.
-
I didn't want or expect an apology. Something a bit more original than his usual "go again" bollocks would have been good after our worst ever result though. There's a record for him to be proud of.
-
What's going to be more powerful that any apology or any one soundbite or statement is the performance today and going forward.
-

You're spot on - and it's not just the relegation-bound whipping boys on the receiving end. I imagine more than just us will be rewriting their record defeat stat over the next few years.
-
I wonder if all those demanding apologies and refunds are the same people who demand their money back because they didn't find a comedian funny or found a play a 'bit depressing'? I have to deal with these people every so often and would dearly love to tell them to fuck off but unfortunately I'd get sacked.
-
I don't get this increasingly heard "I want a refund / apology" nonsense. That's the way it goes. Sometimes it is ace, sometimes it is awful, sometimes it is somewhere between.
All I want them to do is stop being shit, and not inflict dreadful results like that on us. I don't need anyone to tell us we're sorry. If we'd had player X, Y or Z dragged out for a cringey apology style post on the OS, the same people would be saying "fuck the words, show us the action".
However, all this "OMG I am so proud" nonsense does make me feel vaguely nauseous. It is just pointless nonsense, with the faintest of whiffs of BetterFanThanYow. It's not entirely unlike that "things i have heard on here this year" thread.
I don't mean any malice to the posters involved, and don't doubt their motives are sound, but really, there's no need.
None of us need to be proving to anyone how much we think of the club. Look at the vast amounts of time we spend talking about it on here, for starters. I wasn't feeling too proud after the Chelsea result. I was, however, feeling pretty sick, miserable and slightly embarrassed.
-

It's certainly been a powerful statement.....

Im not proud today. we've been rolled over at home by a team which hardly broke into a sweat. despite some decent results recently its obvious that this is one of the weakest villa teams in living memory. relegation battle back on with a massive game on sat
-
I was incredibly proud of the way that the fans who didn't leave early supported the team to the end today. It was actually pretty uplifting at the end of a shit night and reminded me why I'm here.

I was proud to still be there at the end and see that there are still some Villa fans who have faith and understand why we are always going to be miles ahead of our local rivals.
I tried to get the miserable old sods to join the Holte in their excellent response for the last 10 mins or so. But it was like trying to raise the dead.
I just hope those who stayed to encourage the young lads and keep them going are rewarded in the near future.
And those who left after the 3rd Spurs goal - if you want to moan a lot go and buy a gold shirt and go to Wolverhamton, if you want short term glory hunting put on a shopping bag and follow them in Smethwick, if you want to demonstrate total ignorance go to the temple of doom.
If you want to stay with the greatest football club - have faith - we will get there. Give the young lads your support. We are Aston Villa be proud.

Exactly how I felt. I think the fans felt it was important not to simply boo the kids off tonight and destroy fragile confidence. It was a statement that we still buy into what Lambert is trying to do. I don't have a crystal ball, a month or two from now I may be feeling like I did a week ago or we may be staring relegation in the face. What I do know is I feel connected more with my club and fellow fans than I have done in the previous couple of seasons.

for the last ten minutes the holte sang paul lamberts claret and blue army, i hope he heard it and the players heard it. i remember the "fergie on the dole" chants" and how shit they were in 89. but they stuck together. The good thing is today i felt like we were together in this mess, players,fans and manager. Together we will go forward.our lowest point, if you want to slag the villa off, you are not helping,you are hindering. If you want to go to the villa and moan or boo, then f**k off! just my opinion, ta.

What a difference a week makes, from Norwich and Liverpool to this, words just fail me

Has Lambert come out with the old wegoagain bollocks yet?

Basically more a less he has.

I must admit when the goals were going in it was a bit upsetting having them take the piss, summed up by my sister who said she wanted to cry, but the Holte End's class supporting Lambert and the young players was heart warming, as was the guy walking out behind me convinced we will get it right in the face of the defeat.I hope we do get it right and obviously say up, 17th will do this season, liken it to a team winning promotion, or a newly promoted team staying up on the last day of the season if we succeed. Here's hoping come on you Lions !
-
Brilliant support, got to keep it up.
-
I walked out when the 4th went in. I had been toying with leaving early and the atrocious way we conceded the goal broke this camels back.
That's 20 minutes of football I've missed in the past two games ans the first time I have left a home game early since we lost 3-2 to Boro under O'Leary.
Bad times. Good to hear we didn't get booed off.
-
To be absolutely honest with you I do not think Lambert deserves the magnificent support we on the Holte gave him at the end today. I think he got it because we trust him to deliver. It would be foolish in the extreme for him to believe he already deserves that level of commitment from the fans. He has yet to earn it and he has to start immediately.
-
Left after the 4th - wanted to make sure I got a seat on the bus. How shit is that?
-
It is a load of sh*te and PL has to cure his inherited problem! and soon!
-
The support for most of the game was average - there was little to cheer, other than the first 8-9 minutes of the second half- but the last 10 minutes were excellent and hopefully will help the youngsters to keep going.
I heard not a single comment of criticism aimed at Lambert or Lerner - though a fair few barbs at individual players.
-
Watching the game at my brother's with my whole family laughing at how shit we are was pretty horrible. That's twice in three days that we've made a complete arse of ourselves on the telly.

I admit that I half heartedly shouted "Sort it out Lambert" after the third goal was walked into the Villa net.
-
We left as soon as the 4th goal went in, by that time we had enough, people next to us went after the 3rd went in...
-
I wish sky would stop putting us on .
-
I wish sky would stop putting us on .
Agreed, it's bad enough we have endure watching us without having the rest of the country exposed to it.
It's not exactly a great way to appeal to new supporters!
-
We never seem to win when we're on Sky. granted, we never seem to win anyway, but hey ho...
-
Another thumping. Well, Wigan is massive and we can get some sort of idea how far in the shite we really are after that game. Good to hear the Holte on form at the end of the game. Should give the young lads a lift. We knew it was going to be tough this season. I am hoping we can get some confidence back very soon, i am sure we will against Wigan. A very worried but still proud Villa fan today.

I have noticed that I am proud every morning. And I am a Villa fan. Am I normal?

Agree with this.
The manager and players need our support at the moment. Thankfully there were enough left at the end to show we do care and want them to succeed.
What we need to do is convince the doubters. One way is to get to Wemberlee and have a go at Chelski, we have nothing to lose there and it will do us all good to have a day out.
-
Load of fucking shit - Chelsea and Spurs games. If people are prepared to accept shit football and clap the team off at the end then they can fuck off to St Andrews instead of the fans who leave early or voice their real opinion about what an absolute shambles we look at the moment. I left Stamford Bridge at 4 nil after giving the fuckers some dogs abuse. I could have stayed and witnessed history but I love Villa too much to see their heaviest defeat through to the end. If anyone wants to suggest that me leaving early affected the result or performance then go ahead, lunatics
If by some miracle we stay up with the bunch of not good enough kids that we have, then the first thing we should do next year is get rid of 90 percent of the team and get a few - as Pat McMahon describes them - "mongrels" into the team.
I can't see any great plan developing under Lambert, I just see a laughably shit team at the moment. We looked like a 3rd division side for their 2nd goal last night
Nothing would make happier than if one of the many trolls on here dig this post out in 2 years time when we're battling at the top of the table to make me look a right fool
Somebody please show me how we are improving under Lambert.
Would have posted this after Chelsea but I was too pissed.
-

When have you seen us concede 8 goals in a game before?
-
Why does anybody even have to announce that they're 'proud to be a Villa fan' ?
Surely it's a given, as the Yanks say.

I want to cry after watching us concede 12 goals without reply in the last four days.
I'm not sure they're tears of pride.

Yes I am.

If people are prepared to accept shit football and clap the team off at the end then they can fuck off to St Andrews instead of the fans who leave early or voice their real opinion about what an absolute shambles we look at the moment. I left Stamford Bridge at 4 nil after giving the fuckers some dogs abuse. I could have stayed and witnessed history but I love Villa too much to see their heaviest defeat through to the end. If anyone wants to suggest that me leaving early affected the result or performance then go ahead, lunatics
If by some miracle we stay up with the bunch of not good enough kids that we have, then the first thing we should do next year is get rid of 90 percent of the team and get a few - as Pat McMahon describes them - "mongrels" into the team.
I can't see any great plan developing under Lambert, I just see a laughably shit team at the moment. We looked like a 3rd division side for their 2nd goal last night
Nothing would make happier than if one of the many trolls on here dig this post out in 2 years time when we're battling at the top of the table to make me look a right fool
Somebody please show me how we are improving under Lambert.
Would have posted this after Chelsea but I was too pissed.
How can you scream at the kids? The kids! The humanity!
Sigalaonga Whitney:
I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
You heartless bastard.

Some of the stuff on here is bonkers, i have allways been proud of my family history which means I am a Villa Fan.
I see no pride in humiliating defeat.

Of course I'm proud to be a Villa fan.
William MacGregor, Frederick Rinder, Mercers Minors, the three teams that Ron Saunders built, our rise from Div 3 to Champions Of Europe, our connections to Acorns, the way we look after our own (Stan comes to mind), our willingness to give safe standing a chance, etc.
It's a bit like taking marriage vows, for richer, for poorer, for better, for worse till death do us part.

As someone said to me many years ago........"I'd rather divorce the Mrs. Than leave The Villa."
