So? Just because we have a buffoon as an owner and we are most likely going down without a fight it doesn't make me embarrassed to be a Villa fan.
If anything it makes me want to front up to anyone who tries to take the piss and ask them if they would pretend not to support their team if they were in the same situation.

Be angry, be sad, but for fuck's sake don't be embarrassed to support Aston Villa.
This all day.  I'm angry and a bit disillusioned at our current predicament.  I am embarrassed about some of our performances and results recently.  But I will never, ever be embarrassed to support Aston Villa. 

As Dave says, if anything it engenders a siege mentality in my mind.  It makes me even more staunchly proud to wear my colours (if that's at all possible), and makes me think "go on, do your worst"!

It's embarrassing to be a Villa fan these days.

Never.


Well that's the crowd-pleasing answer, but I'm afraid it isn't true.  We're an absolute laughing stock, thanks mainly to Lerner.

It's not a crowd-pleasing answer, it's someone disagreeing with you. They (and I) don't feel embarrassed to be a Villa fan.

I wonder how many Spurs fans even knew he was on their books?

I can stay positive if I turn the music off.

It was pretty amusing that the club tweeted we were expecting a 'promising' player and we end up with a 25 year old. Good luck to him though.

The club tweets are an embarrassment.

The teaser about a signing was cringeworthy. 

Everything about the club is cringeworthy.  It's embarrassing to be a Villa fan these days.

Ain't that the truth.

You can leave me out of that fucking club.

I doubt that I will feel at all embarrassed to be at Villa Park on Sunday.

I've been contemplating copying the approach of some New York Jets fans from a few years ago

They sound a bit upset that they've lost him.
Hopefully a good sign of what to expect - maybe a leader?
