Quote from: Chris Smith on December 08, 2011, 04:03:18 PMResults will be what the manager is judged on, not a bunch of Facebook fans holding up bits of paper. If he keeps us around mid table then I imagine he will be within the targets set while we go through this period of cost cutting. That's more important to Lerner at the moment than being easy on the eye.Most protests end up being either a damp squib or worse they are divisive, those that don't support them arguing with those that do. If he keeps us midtable.......not a chance given the rubbish served up.

First post here so don't know if it's in the correct place, if not my apologies.My idea is for everyone attending the Liverpool game to take a lett "z" on a piece of paper to show how boring the football we are watching is. I feel this idea is more viable than a boycott and better than a protest.Thoughts?

I usually buy the "booing them dosent make them play any better" argument, but the fans could have booed the team for 90 minutes against Spurs and I don't think it could possibly have made them play any worse.At what point do you stand up and tell the manager and players thet they are serving us up with shit?Playing devils advocate, at what point do you think he already realised that it is shit? He has to, he isn't stupid. I'm afraid we are stuck with it.

Villa fans do seem rather insipid when it comes to protests. Fair play to Blackburn fans for trying to safeguard the long term future of their club, and to those Man Yoo fans who wear the Newton Heath green and yellow in protest at the Glazers. The latter doesn't seem to have affected their team's performances.
