No Respect

[JD]

I would rather we just sang "One Stiliyan Petrov" for the 19th minute. It would be a natural progression between wishing him well and things returning to normal.

Agree, this would be much better. I agree with what a lot of the sunderland fans have written. How would they know and what has it to do with them? It makes me shudder when other teams say we're turning into Liverpool.

How about a chorus of :' Stan Petrov is ours, Stan Petrov is ours, why should they care?, Stan Petrov is ours'. To the tune of the City is ours obviously. Clearly these twats need it explained in simple terms

I like that idea.

For what it's worth I don't mind the 19" applause/singing in itself (I just can't find much wrong with clapping at a football match) but agree with the pathetic "no respect" chants afterwards. It would be much better if that minutes applause led onto a general sustained period of chanting without resorting to slagging the oppo off for no reason at all. But it's up to other fans at the game (including us) to make that happen.

i go home and away, i dont clap anymore.  if i thought it would do the slightest bit of good now after stan has entered remission i would still be doing it. stan will have felt the love and good feeling from us , aston villa, and now i think it is time to drop it. i have had leukaemia and i would be pissed off now if i thought my illness was being used as a stick to beat opposition fans with. time to move on now.

What we actually need is to score in the 19 and a half'th minute.  That would confuse them!  I agree with what was said about Fulham, we got a good round of applause after the minute was up, then the song, absolutely cringeworthy!  other than that we were brilliant that day, the fifteen minutes of Paul Lambert's C&B army leading up to half time was as good as I've heard for years!

We need to stop this clap on the 19th minute now. We've done it for long enough.

What would really confuse them is if the opposition score on 18 mins 59 secs and we give a resounding one minute's applause!

Don't tempt fate, CJ!

I did find this post quite amusing on one of the threads

they didn't notice they'd scored. too busy thumbing through their songbooks to find out which "amusing" ditty was next on the list.

Blimey. If you read through all that lot, it does make you cringe. What a reputation we have.

I have to agree with them.At the moment we have the shittest songbook in the league

[andrew08]

I think actually we're more subtle than we think. I'm convinced it's our comedic use of irony that other fans don't get like singing 'Fulhams a sxxt Hole I want to go home' and 'Empty seats M'lord'

I used to worry about such things.....Sunderland fans don't like our dull songs ? so what.......I bet they liked the score worse.

Didn't ruin my journey home in the slightest.

I imagine if they had beaten us we'd have been seen as great fans. 

At Fulham we got a different reaction from their support on the forums but then we lost that one.

I dunno, I took my daughter for her first game to Fulham-Everton on Saturday (long story!) and sat in the same seats in the neutral end as for the Villa game a fortnight earlier, and the Everton fans were shit by comparison!  They have a great song about Fellaini, but other than that is was the odd "Everton, Everton, Everton" and their team were fantastic!

They're still feeling bitter though, a lot of the same shit gets said on here after we've lost. I agree with the fact that 'no respect m'lord' needs to be canned, and canned quick, but look at the other shit they were claiming:

According to the villa fans on my train they only sold 1400 as they took 4000 to Swindon mid week. He was full of shit like.

I don't know how many Villa went to Sunderland, but it's true that we took thousands to Swindon.

Worst songbook in the league.

Have they heard Everton recently? Or had a bit of a look at themselves? I can't think of one song that is unique to Sunderland fans, probably something about Newcastle.

Villa supporters are fairly unobjectionable in my view; perhaps a trifle bland though as they generally draw support from the suburbs and surrounding towns rather than Birmingham proper.

This old chestnut. I can't believe this shit is still doing the rounds. Villa have more fans in Birmingham than any other team, and that's before we get to the surrounding towns.

They are the dullest set of supporters in the league. Always have been, always will be.

This is coming from a Sunderland fan, who's supporters are renowned for, um, I dunno...having a conga line when they went down at Villa Park a few years ago?

WBA have the best away support in the midlands in my experience. Both in terms of numbers and atmosphere.

And apparently now we have less fans than the Albion.

I totally agree with them on the 'no respect' stuff, as I've said. The rest of that thread is bollocks though, and they're still smarting from being outplayed at home to a side they were convinced they were going to smash.
