How are we perceived?

[martin o`who??]

I don't really care what the majority of the Sky generation have to say or the people who make up YouTube and Facebook comments. Those I do listen to who support other clubs pity us and can't seem to get their heads around how bad we have become.

Really, everything i read/see/hear tells me they`re absolutely pissing themselves. (think our attitude to Newcastle United)

Like I said, nobody I pay any attention to is pissing themselves. I've just had a mate at my desk who supports Wigan joining me in some wallowing.

I agree with Ads. I couldn't care less what people are writing about us on Facebook. Few of the many things wrong with modern football annoy me more than these posts along the lines of 'what are {insert name of team here} for?!' As if, just because a team isn't on Sky continuously, they are of no importance. Never mind the history and community related to the club, the people whose lives are wrapped up in it, rain or shine.

People who understand football, understand the importance of Aston Villa F.C. That'll do for me.

[PaulWinch again]

People's perception of Villa doesn't bother me, it's the fact that what most people are saying is correct that bothers me. If people perceived us as shit and we were actually good it wouldn't bother me. It's the fact that we're fucking diabolical and it's so obvious to see that frustrates me.

Schadenfreude is an important part of being a football supporter. If we go down on the last day of the season, and the Burnley fans in the away end give us what we gave the Newcastle fans, I really won't blame them.

[Tom_Mc9?]

Me neither. I wouldn't be holding  seven year (?) grudge against them.

It could be a combined claret and blue relegation 'party'.

[not3bad]

Incredibly dull, fun to keep around so you can laugh at them.  Some sympathy for long suffering supporters.

A bloke in the pub last week called Villa Park 'The Hall of Memories'. Seem to remember that this name was also bandied about by the noses during our last period of horror in the late 60's when we were having similar difficulties and I was facing piss takes at school rather than the pub

My Dad told me that's what bus conductors used to shout when stopping at Witton Island bus stop in the 60s.

'Big club that regularly flirts with relegation'. When I was a kid it was usually Manchester City. Then Everton took over the mantle for a while in the late nineties and early noughties. Now it is us. The neutrals like it. It is more exciting and interesting to watch a big club drop.

Nothing will change or get any better until we have a new manager and or new owner

that will happen at some stage whether sooner or later, we will just have to sit on our hands and take the shit until that day, you always have to believe that a brighter day will dawn, we just don't know when

[passport1]

The impression I get is that neutrals are curious as to how i has come to this.What is going on at your club is the usual question?

[levico]

Just had a Forest fan taking the p*ss.

Doesn't get much lower than that.

[Damo70]

I thought all the Forest fans would be having a days mourning for the tattooed electrician.
