It's never bothered me much - there have always been some songs I haven't joined in with, including Celtic/rangers stuff etc. fair play to the fans for going home and away and making some noise.

Why spend all that money, investment in your own time in the event and the two way journey to not support your own team that early in the game? I respect anyone who makes the effort and goes to away games, but that just seems completely stupid.

I suppose they took a look at the team selection and thought if the club have surrendered pre-kick off what's the point.

That may well be so, but we actually started the game playing quite well. If it was 3-0 to them go at it.

we were a goal down after 2 minutes. How's that starting well?


No we weren't.

If you pay top dollar to travel to London on a Monday night and watch the shite we've been serving up for years, you can sing what you like as far as I'm concerned, you're a better fan than me.

I basically agree. The chants on Monday were mostly quite funny, in a gallows humour way, and weren't getting on the teams back in my opinion. Also, as others have pointed out, the fans got behind the team as well it wasn't all negative.

Maybe 'We're f***ing shit' is taking it a bit far mind. I was taking a friend from Mexico to his first ever Premier League game, who'd planned his trip around seeing Villa, and found it hard to explain the sarcasm behind it.
