I'm losing my religion. An open letter to Randy Lerner.

Uh-oh, fans in inverted commas, AND the F word in the same post.

[pauliewalnuts]

The annoying and hypocritical things about the opening letter is, should we be appearing in Middlesex in a couple of weeks time, you'd be first in line for a ticket along with 15,000 other fickle arsed "fans".

And another thing, you're still banned, kryten.

On further reflection I find it dissappointing that so many of my fellow fans seem ready to turn their backs on the club.Yes Lerner is making a right balls of it a-la Cleveland Browns but from what I saw today the players are fighting and maybe if we filled Villa Park and made it as intimidating as possible we would have better home form and wouldn't have to listen to the away fans singing that our ground is too big for us. The fans there today got behind the team ( far better than the West Ham fans did )Maybe the fans who are not turning up are the first to moan when a pass goes astray or boo the team ( I always find that embarrassing ) Now is the time to get your selves down there and give the team all the support you can, Post mortems on the season should wait till the end , and if we do find ourselves in the Championship I will still be there .

I don't get these 'open letter' type posts. So you've had enough, great, don't go to the game then, but spare us the bleeding heart hyperbole eh?

What's the point so these forums if you can't vent your spleen now and again?

Nor me. I don't feel the need to start a thread because i'm going or not.

Personally I had a great time today. Saw some mates, stood all game, sang, saw the Villa win, got drenched and froze (especially waiting for buses back) and wouldn't swap it for the world.

VTID for a reason.

Surely people can post what ever is on their mind regarding AVFC, otherwise why have a forum?

They can, and those that disagree can also comment, otherwise as you say, why have a forum?

Oh I'm all for spleen venting, I do a lot of it, but it's the whole "Look how angry I am, I've created a whole new thread where I've written  a pointless diatribe that will never be read by anyone of any importance, but hopefully a few interweb people will tell me how good it was so I can feel dead good" thing that I just don't get.

 Hey ho, each to their own, carry on if it floats yer boat.

I'm probably being thick, what's the Middlesex reference about?

Wembley.

This is why we go even when we're shit. Very little can match the feeling when this happens.

That's what I thought, but we're out of both cups. So a rubbish point badly made.

I think he meant: had we been appearing in Middlesex in a couple of weeks time, you'd be first in line for a ticket along with 15,000 other fickle arsed "fans"
