We should adapt that soul stirring rendition of Marley's Three Little Birds that Ajax fans do, give it a Villa slant

6 pages of unadulterated bollox! If u don't want to go fair enough, if u do want to go thats cool again but at the end of the day we've been here before and we'll be here again so if you don't like this feeling don't come in the good times because the good times never last.

We won the big one when i was 4 we probably won't do it again if im being honest i can't see us winning the league either but it matters not . Going to B6 and supporting the team is what it's about.

Damn it I wanted that one! Now I'm going to have to resort to Big Ted or Little Ted from Play School, depending what size costume the hire shop has in stock.

I wonder what would have become of Villa if the movers and shakers of 1968 had taken such a view.

To compare how things are right now with the late 60s is a surely a tad OTT?

It is, but it's an example of how fan action can actually steer the club onto a better course of action than it is actually on.

Will you two turn it the fuck in.

As far as the original post goes, its very difficult to know what to do. You don't want to do anything that damages the club but it has to be highly visual to get them to notice.

Perhaps ten minutes with us all with our back to the game and then rousing support or some such.


To be honest, I was going to respond it kind, but no. I support my club, not like I did 30 years ago perhaps, but still support them. Dont need someone telling me what to do thanks, I was sticking up for someone who made a comment

What? Trying to do something about the crap we have to watch? The way the club are careering downhill? The way we are a fucking laughing stock? Pity from Arsenal fans - I could weep.

The arguing may be bollocks but the intent is genuine.
