We want 'out' Villa back. Is this just embarrassing grammar or am I missing something?
Not grammar error it's a typo and yes embarrassing when other teams fans see it!

Is there a good wordsmith out there?  How about a page long advert in the Meaning Evil setting out the grievances we have and questions we genuinely want answers to ahead of the AGM? 

Then continue with the adverts until we get some answers or action to address the slide whilst the current 'custodian' remains in charge.

I'd chuck a tenner in.....would get some decent publicity and put these guys on the spot possibly.....

Sorry, yes, typo. Makes us look thick and is embarrassing. Something I would associate with Wolves.

Just what the hell do you think hankies, balloons, protests, turning your back, etc etc will achieve?

The grand sum of fuck all. Lerner has said he wants to sell, nobody wants to buy.

We will just look like the bloody geordies. We need to have some bloody dignity and take it on the chin. We know we're shit, we don't like it; No surprise there.

There are plenty on here wordsmiths that is. However I would pick supertom with added venom from Saunders-heroes.

The only protest that might get noticed is if Villa Park contained only away fans for one match and ALL of the Villa fans stayed away. Not that it would happen.

As I mentioned in a previous post, I will be the one that will be sitting down and, not giving a standing ovation before the match. Players have taken us for mugs for long enough but, they will not see that if we keep giving these ridiculous standing ovations even before a ball is kicked. Have always joined in in the past but enough is enough. A deafening silence would send a real message to our so called players!

WE WANT OUT VILLA BACK!


Ok here is your chance, I bet less than 50

30 to start with a few more to turn up in straggling groups up to 7:30 because they couldn't be arsed leaving the pub, so 60 by 7:30. If it's cold and / or raining then most of the original 30 to abandon  around then, with some of the stragglers joining them because they really need a piss. So 40 by 7:45 at which time some of them say "I didn't realise we were missing kick-off" and fuck off into the ground so by 8:00 it's the organiser and five of his mates.
 After the match there are promises of a protest but it's initially lost in the crowd and after 20 minutes of trying to find each other and get organised they give it up as a bad job and go and get the train home.
 Loads of posts on Facebook the day after ranging from "Great" to "You wankers don't deserve to support Aston Villa".

Yes in March relegation will be confirmed however it's going to be ugly up to that point after that no one will care.

Dignity? you think that complaining about the mess we're in shows a lack of dignity? There's no dignity in watching your team lose every week and meekly accepting it.  You take it on the chin if you like, I'll go down fucking ranting.

Dignity, I've heard it all

This is the best idea I've heard so far.

Protest for the Palace game will be pointless, it's a cold Tuesday night with the crowd set to be less than 30,000. If it's going to be done it should at least be a Saturday game where you may get more of a turnout.

The only problems with a pitch invasion would be a) that it's a criminal offence; and b) organising it (and possibly participating in it) would get you banned for life from VP.

Although b) may not feel like much of a "problem" at the moment.

how about everybody chips in say 20 quid each, enough to pay for me to fly to New York for a couple of weeks and I'll post catshit through Randy's letterbox every night, with a little note saying 'sell' ? It might be worth a try

I sense the crowd is extremely close to losing it, another error strewn performance next week and it will happen I am sure. This will have far more impact than anything manufactured.
