I'm going to turn up and shout/sing/scream my left nut off for team, and possibly my right one too if we need it. Sometimes I turn up at games, often ones like these where we desperately need a result (Newcastle a few years ago, Bradford last season) not giving a toss about who's wearing the shirt or who's in the dugout. I love Aston Villa and us winning is all that matters.

We all need to get behind the team for 90 minutes regardless of what we think of Lerner & Lambert. None of us want to watching the Villa in the Championship next season do we?

Quite right.  I find it amazing that some people say they'd rather go down to try and rebuild.  Leeds went down 10 years ago, never returned.  Sheffield Wednesday 14 years ago, never returned.  Forest 15 years ago, never returned.  Relegation is the LAST thing this club needs.

But none of them is the greatest club in the history of football. Villa, on the other hand, is.

Still, let's all go and roar them on to victory next week, and let's all try and talk our loudest, lapsed Villa mates into accompanying us.

Quite. With the squad we've got, if we got relegated I'd be more worried about us being relegated again than not getting back up at the first attempt.

And how many clubs came straight back up? The three you listed were all weighed down with outside debt, we're not.

im going to keep on repeating this till i leave essex on my 300 mile round trip to watch this football club i love so much.
sing your hearts out for 90 minutes no matter what you think or what has gone on before with players.
lets show match of the day and the whole footballing world the holte end is really " the 12th man"
and how about bringing back the balloons for this game us old codgers from the 70s will remember them was it southampton away in the 3rd round of the f.a. cup in 1976 that we started them, what a sight that was.
lets roar this team on to premiership safety so we can all say we did our bit.

I'm not going but If I was then I'd leave at full time, so when they come out there is no-one there. Or just take a banner showing the names of the players that you feel deserve some appreciation.

A piece of A4 just showing Guzan will do

No but we will be if we get relegated, Maybe not outside debt but I read if we do go down we could be in trouble

The cuts that have been made and the debts that have been written off should make us look like a financially viable PL club on the next set of accounts. Relegation would mean further cuts without a doubt.

Just go and cheer on your team as much as possible. If we are 2-0 after 60mins, carry on cheering the team. If we are 2-1 after 80mins it could mean the difference between us going down or staying up. I wont be staying for any laps of appreciation though.

If we lose, I am going to adopt the same facial expression I do when Asda deliver to the neighbours and the driver parks across our drive.

Get behind the lads for the full 90 minutes and then leave in silence.

I will be behind them right through.  And if we win, i will struggle to stay silent, its going to be a fucking release of tension that as a Villa supporter you think we would get used to!

I don't think there's any real sense in a protest. We all know how bad things are and I'm pretty sure the club do too. We just need to hope with some home support they can get the result that's required against Hull.
