Did I hear correctly at the end of the game? McLeish out chants?

No (I sit in the Upper Holter). The crowd showed their appreciation for a very, very good second half performance.

If anything, I think tonights atmosphere in the 2nd half was the best this season (at home).

Anyone else see the "Get the Feck out of Villa Park" banner in the Upper Holte just after Cisse scored?

Now that's just what you want to see when you go an early goal down. Twat.

Apologies for not reporting back directly after the game but some of us do have families etc to look after we cannot all spend all our time on the forum. Anyway back to last night a great performance by the lads a hard earned point against QPR. Someone earlier said that there was calls for AM to be sacked this I did not hear but whoever thinks that the atmosphere was great etc is talking b**locks. Did the people on here who went to the game not hear the "boos" at the end? Having spoken with several fellow fans last night I mentioned this forum about how a few fans think that I am wrong in not wanting AM basically they laughed at the morons on here as there are many more fans who do not want him . My question today is why do some fans honestly believe he is the right man?

Dave Woodhall must be blinkered not once on here does he ever admit that there is unrest amongst the fans. Does he sit in a little bubble unable to hear the chants? I admit everyone does not think he is bad but come on man get real the fans do have opinions.

I don't believe there are too many who think he's the right man for the job, but he's here to stay in difficult circumstances and they are giving him their support whilst he's here. I respect that even if I'm personally more of the opinion that we are more in need of someone who could have a galvanising effect on the club and more importantly the fans.

I do agree on one point though, you see a lot more of the 'give him a go' fans on here than you seem to come across at the match.

I agree but its alot easier to be of that opinion when you are sitting infornt of a computer-its alot of time and money to go to a game and watch your team get battered. I was in the north lower with some work colleages and one made a comment on how he had never been to a ground with such a lack of atmosphere (in the first half). Again, my apathy for the current situation stopped me really caring (in the sense that i laughed rather than went mad at the second goal). I didnt think we would get back into the game but it still didnt mean that much for some reason (maybe because im so used to seeing us f~~~ it up at the end anyway). AM may not be the right man for the job but I honestly dont think anything will change him being the manager. I dont even think he would get the chop if he took us down. So im in the give him a go camp too

Well done Peter Withe on your comments nice to hear of someone with a brain on here. For some reason certain fans on here (you know who you are) are stuck in their own "little world" it is quite comical that they can see no further than the end of their nose. It wouldn't be so bad but they really think that I am the only one who doesn't like AM I guess it shows what they know - NOTHING.

Mattjpa - Well said this is what I have been going on about for months now some "fans" and I use that term loosely dont actually go to the game so they just jump on board with other "fans" opinions weak as they may be.

Well said mattjpa - some "fans" on here obviously do not even go to the match they just hide behind the "moderators" I am not saying that "moderators" don't go just before they start throwing their toys out of the pram.

Well if you have a season ticket in the expensive bit of any stand then the cost is £610  - why?
The most expensive season ticket for the 2011-2012 season was £580. 

Apologies I made a mistake it was taken by DD do you want me to make a bleeding apology in the Evening Mail ! Is that all you have time to do check bleeding season ticket prices. Why are you interested anyway where do you sit then on the roof?
Don't get arsy with me sonny.  I was simply pointing out the most expensive season ticket price because on several occasions you have mentioned yours was more than £600 and I knew that wasn't correct.  I sit in the Lower Trinity.  I paid £520.

Arsey ! Me ! Never! Did it take long to try and "prove " I was wrong? It was a mistake ok?

Look Dazzy, i don't think you'll find anyone on here who thought "ooh thats a top appointment" when AM was announced. BUT, unless AM was advising the last two managers who to buy, how to play them, and also found time to convince RL to stop spending money, then its very hard if your logical to put the blame at AM's door. For that reason most of us are giving him a chance however we feel about his ability or style of football. That doesn't make us morons, just people with a reasonable thought process

 How often is this tosser going to get away with calling people morons and questioning their support of the club?
Twattyg, please just fuck off. Nobody cares what you have to say, and even more importantly, most of what you say is completely made up rubbish.

dazzy. After 29 years of supporting Villa, numerous of those years spent with a season ticket and the others going to games when work commitments allow, if I want to have an opinion then I will. Even if I had never been to a game, I wouldn't let some obnoxiously rude semi-literate with major personality issues whose support for the club involves turning up late for protests that don't happen, constantly banging on about their imaginary friends and actively hoping for the team to lose so the manager is sacked stop me having an opinion. OK?
