We laugh at the Knuckledraggers obsession with us but over the last few years there's been an unhealthy and embarrassing increase in the number of Villa fans obsessed with them. Can't we just go back to ignoring them, a simple cheer and chuckle at full time when their defeat is announced, why do we have to be so bloody small time?

What really gets me is the extra enthusiasm of the tanoy announcer when reading our the half time scores and they're losing.  OK, it'll get a cheer, but it's the sort of sh't you'd expect from them!

It won't last forever. Given their current trajectory I think in a few years time we will have forgotten about them. A bit like how we used to really hate Coventry but now only seem to laugh at them.

What!!!! No press???? Let's get real lads AM is not popular with more people than just me....

"........................................ their dislike of McLeish has overtaken their support of Villa."
Smacks the nail right on the head.
Maybe if these people came and got behind the team instead of mumbling and grumbling the atmosphere in the ground wouldn't be as bad. The best games we've seen are the ones where the crowd has got behind the team, and they've responded.

Whatever you do, don't teach them the secret of fire.

Anyway, as long as you all buy a fanzine as you march past me I'll be happy.
Should get the sales over double figures if I'm lucky.

Unfortunately, I cant make the game this weekend but would have loved to see these "fans" protesting.  Definitely entertainment before the game.  I hope someone video's on their phones and uploads it to youtube so the people who cant be there to see 10 lads chanting "mcleish out".

Can't see the point of a protest before the game as if we beat Everton and results go our way we could be 8th by the end of the day!

If we lose meekly again, I can see however the crowd really turning against him at the end as that would be our fifth straight defeat at VP.

I wasn't delighted with his appointment, I haven't been delighted by the majority of performances and I'm not delighted with our league position. But if the AM haters were able to look at things logically they would realise that after losing the players we did in the summer his results do not warrant him being sacked. But anyone pointing that out risks being called a Mcleish lover and someone who is happy for Villa to be in the bottom half of the table.

The thing that amazes me most about the anti-mcleish zealots (and I'm not including those who don't rate him, more the ones who think he should be sacked at all costs), is how black and white everything appears to them. It's as if once we get rid of McLeish we'll be straight away back fighting for european football again or something. Same for the fanatically anti-Lerner fringe, they seem to think that once he sells up we're certain to have some moneybags bankrolling us. They really don't seem to be living in the real world.

Ah, excellent! I'm quite looking forward to mercilessly mocking Jizzyg and any other knuckledragging cocksocket that joins in this demonstration. I'm guessing the average age of participating cocksockets will be around 12, all wearing "McLeish Out" t-shirts and chanting "Shit on the City". Should be fun!
