Of course the 'hard men' from both sides magically disappeared outside the ground. 

Bring back lack of segregation. It was a pleasure travelling away when there was only a couple of hundred of us.

You can't beat the old "quote" marks to put your point across. It always makes you 100% correct.

I "agree".

Woah,woah,woah,steady your gallop neddy..
Aston Villa is a broad church that gathers its congregation from far and wide,and anybody who follows the team away from home has a valid opinion however they show it.
Everything in the garden is far from rosy,you cant dress it up,its poor at the moment,very poor and supporters are starting to get the hump.
Just because they choose to vent there spleen in the way some do in no way means they support the team and club any less than you do,in fact i would say they are to be applauded for not sitting there clapping at the end of what was a dismal showing.
I think sometimes certain individuals on this board try to play the "i'm a considerably better fan than yow" card with the righteous comments they make,which is cringeworthy,on the other hand you have the more vocal fan who will call a spade a spade and have a go when the performances are clearly shite..

Maybe the more vocal fan needs to learn to have a bit of patience and look at the wider picture rather than have a go at the team.  I'm as frustrated as the next man about where we're currently at but screaming at the players that they're shit is hardly the behaviour conducive to improved performances.  That said I called Stephen Ireland a lazy prick yesterday so who am I to talk.

If you paid to go up there yesterday then you had every right to have a shout at Ireland.
And thats the point i'm trying to get at.

Speaking for myself, when I'm at the match I barely know what the fuck I'm saying. Most of the time it's an internal dialogue that somehow escapes my lips. I don't go as far as shouting abuse but I do slag players off when they do stupid things like not looking up or trying ambitious passes that are not going to come off, for example. But it's rarely personal, it's just nervous grumbling. And I'm the opposite when I see the team pleasing me with the way they play. Yes, I'm a hypocrite, but I can't change.

Had the privilege today of spending 90 minutes with people wearing Villa colours stood behind me who profess to be "fans".  Had to put up with incessant abuse, criticism and ridicule of certain players from the 1st minute onwards.  If it wasn't Dunne, it was Warnock, or Gabby, or Ireland, or Downing, or Friedel, or Ash.  I can't remember when a word of encouragement was spoken.

And to make matters worse, when the substitutions were made, it just showed the world how tactically inept our manager is, and if that is what he is going to do, he might as well f**k off now!!.

So Fredm, what did BlackCountryVillain look like?
