That video is toe curlingly embarrassing for the fans.  I have to assume there were no police left otherwise how was he allowed to continue. 



Because the nice approach has got us an amazing 1 victory this season.

Yeah, the problem is not enough people calling the players twats. I hear it's what makes Bayern Munich such a successful team.

I think it's fair to criticise the players for a lack of effort.

You can't criticise a player for not being good enough; for that you can criticise the manager for continually picking them. Whether Garde has better players to choose from is debatable.

Of the summer signings whether these are good enough or not rests with Reilly and co and Sherwood to an extent.  Of the signings no doubt Lescott, Richards and Gestedr were Sherwood signings and have been the most underwhelming.

Amavi (though we saw little of him) Veretout, Ayew, and to a lesser extent Gueye have been decent performers. Maybe not top 6 but certainly not bottom 3.

I still think the structure in place now in terms of recruitment is what was required post O'Neill as we saw the ramifications of what happens when one man runs the club and then ups and leaves. Just 3/4 years to late.

If it's going to turn ugly, then Sandwell could well be the place that the collective patience expires and explodes.

If we lose Tuesday then Leicester could be the one if we go behind. Late KO so more time for drinking first and live on TV.

I would say Leicester aswell.

In my experience half 5 kick offs don't exactly bring out a nice crowd so can certainly see things getting heated.

How do you get videos to play on Twitter? I just get the pic.

I'd like to think all this will be a kick up the backside for the players but somehow i don't think it will make any difference.

nah. It will have the reverse affect IMO. the relationship between fans and owner/management/players has become extremely toxic. Expect some strolling players on tuesday jumping out of tackles

Just think for a minute of how big potentially is the Villa.

The fans realise it but certain people at the club certainly don't and the players are totally unaware. 

Not trying is their fault. What is the stat - theyve ran less than any other prem team?
But the players aren't good enough. That's not their fault.

Good call. Pretty much a perfect storm.

Everything that bloke in the video said has been said thousands of times on match threads on here.

Cuts off just after he spotted Garde.  Wonder what he said to him.

None of these videos are good. And for Richards to say "We're trying" is laughable.

Does anyone think a mass boycott of the Wycombe replay might get the message across to the owner, players and idiots running the club ?

A shocking crowd will at least hit them in the pocket. Plus it's better than being there booing the team !

I'm torn on it. After not seeing us win at home since September, it would be great to actually see us win for a change (which I think we will) but I'm getting sick to death of handing money over to them.

At what point does a low crowd become a boycott? If you've got 20,000 there that's about 15,000 boycotting anyway.

We don't feel like a club, everyone and that includes the fans are all pulling in different directions
