Wycombe Wanderers v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

"X is a shithole, I wanna go home" is the song that bugs me.

What I don't like about the song is the Villa 'boys' bit. What are the women supposed to sing?

We refuse to sing it - on the basis it's not 'inclusive'. Oh, and because it makes us all look small-time.

|It'll work a treat at MK Dongs next season, mind. And Rotherham...

I liked the 'empty seats my lord' bit when there clearly weren't any. At least we didn't roll out the European Cup song. That should only be saved for Arsenal. And maybe Man City.

So it's okay to give them shit on a thread but not to their face? These donkeys have been taking the living piss for far too long now and people who spend a lot of money are pissed off. Maybe start earning your massive wages and try a lot harder for your club and the fans and they'll ease up, it never happens though does it. I think we look overall worse every week.

If they're not good enough then it doesn't matter how hard they try as they still won't be good enough. then they will be trying too hard and making more and more basic mistakes. It's rather pithy to just believe that telling players to try harder and screaming in their faces will help them or us.

Of course we look worse every week. The players are playing with fear, which makes them play worse, which turns the fans against them, which causes them to be inhibited and play with fear and so the cycle continues. the playing staff have to buckle down and pull themselves through it. Yes, some criticism is fully deserved, but to the point of apoplectic rage? Hardly.

Yep, the single biggest problem we have is the total lack of confidence and belief the players must have. A really spawny win may make the difference, not to us staying up as that is unlikely, but to at least see a few more wins and have something to build on next season.

What we need is a list of songs acceptable to all fans home and away - sorted by length, originality and appropriate content?
We could have a poll

And then maybe everyone not in the Holte End (with an honourable mention to the right-side of the Witton) will endeavour to join in occasionally...

I really couldn't give a shit where I come from  or anyone else but I'll tell you what I followed the villa since the relegation days into the third division I'm now 54  and I'll be villa till I die so don't fucking  question my roots but perhaps that kind of view just sums the day up

It don't matter where your from so long as the claret & blue of AVFC runs through your veins.

On the subject of songs we don't like I hate the "Birmingham are you listening"
song as it plays straight into the hands of them at St Andrex. They claim were not a proper Birmingham club and that song makes us sound that way. The words should be changed to "Small Heath are you listening"

On the subject of 'empty seats', Wycombe seemed to have sold too may yesterday. We wasn't allowed into the block we were supposed to be sitting so we ended up standing at the front by the disabled section. I could have taken a corner given how close to the pitch we were (i'd have probably taken a better one as well).

[peter w]

It wasn't that it was that it was unreserved seating. So later arrivals into the ground found their seats taken by those getting in earlier. Crazy decision when its a a big following as no-one will take seats in the far corners at the back. There were seats but who was going to seek them out?

I didn't realise it was unreserved seating. It wasn't a problem though really.

[peter w]

No, not when everyone stands anyway. Would have been different if it pissed it down for the entire game, mind.

I hope they both win the thing soon, so I don't have to hear it any more.
