Unless you're counting the bloody Charity Shield.
I can understand why people might write a letter to Faulkner (I've been tempted myself), but I'll never understand why they want other people to read it - not particularly this one, but the one that unbelievably self righteous Chris bloke published recently.Just tell the bloke what you've got to tell him - that's why it's in a letter. The minute it starts getting shared around on web sites or twitter or wherever, it becomes an exercise in self indulgence.
The scousers shared it in the 80's I think. Racist FC and Everton I mean, not Tranmere.

As far as I recall he was just echoing the sentiments of an awful lot of fans who have been posting on here and other forums. Including yourself. As for self indulgence, well perhaps his motivation was more along the lines of encouraging others to do likewise - "if I can do it, so can you, and the more of us that do it, the clearer the message will be to the people running the club". At least the bloke was trying to do something to force a change in thinking. Looking at some of the posts on here there seem to be an awful lot of Villa supporters who are all too ready to demonise and ridicule anyone who tries to do that. Some appear more worried about looking like publicity seekers, or about what the media or other supporters might think, than they are about ousting the malaise from our club. Fine if you feel that way but why put down the efforts of others who decide to take some positive action?
I've taken that from Family Guy, just to clarify
