Regardless of it was the Bolton or Wigan game, or the loudness, it still took ages for the supporters to make their displeasure known, yet the (mainly national) media made out we were attending every game with flaming torches and pitchforks.

It's a lie that seems to be now repeated by the man himself in the last interview he did.

Personally, I was amazed he got cut so much slack throughout the season.

The booing actually started at the Swansea home game I recall. Very loud, very directed.

Absolutely - Villa fans were not fickle (they just didn't like him) and, as you say, were incredibly tolerant given the ridiculous situation that we were in.
