Fan reaction to impending Relegation.

Picking up on your point Stuart I agree about us all being Jekyll and Hyde. I know I am, big time but there does come a point when self control and self preservation has to kick in.

Coming out of the Norwich game a young Villa fan whose age I would estimate at 18-20 became so upset he started to kick violently a steel rubbish skip.  That was entirely certain to end in A and E so I stepped between him and the skip.  He started to rage at me and call me a c*nt.  It came very close to him venting his anger on me but I had my brick shithouse son Lucas with me and me needing A and E was averted.

Two morals, don't kick skips. Know where to draw the line of Villa anger.

I heard a certain Mr D Woodhall giving his considered views on the Today programme this morning. Nicely done.

I would just like to enjoy watching my team play again. I have unplugged from football for months as we have got worse and worse.

It was only today I happened to go through the guardians football section following the garde story. Instead of bailing after I skimmed a few of the other results and stories then popped into the comments section. Christ fans of other teams are enjoying football, like looking forward to it. With a reasonable expectation they could have fun in the future and enthusiasm for some of their current players or manager.

I miss that. I would like it back.

I share that feeling. Twice recently, after Norwich and Wycombe, I've found myself on the tube with happy Gooners and have really envied them. For a long time, with just the occasional short respite, supporting Villa and turning up to matches has felt like a duty not a pleasure.
I'm rather glad that I'm driving to the game tonight and will avoid happy Palace fans on the train!
