Fan reaction to impending Relegation.

Guzan should have kept that gum and stuck it to his gloves.

Lescott threw a piece to Guzan...............


.............. he dropped it. (or did an opponent intercept it?)

[PeterWithe]

I've no problem with any fan wanting to share his opinion with the team, however my heart sinks with every new video posted to social media, it would be great to draw a line under it now, keep the videos to ourselves and save the dirty washing for another time.

I was giving them stick yesterday,  along with most people around me.
We're down and out, they looked like  they didn't care and that's the one thing that most fans can't forgive.  It's not the fans' fault we're so shit.  In fact, there's a lot of clubs whose fans would have long ago given up watching their team. If the players don't like criticism they should get their heads out of their arses and try a bit.

Exactly my thoughts, very well put Chico

We were able to give Remi some advice in French too, but it didn't seem to help

There was someone about 3 seats away from me occasionally shouting towards the dugout in French (I was just to the right of the dugout) to the general bemusement of everyone around!  If it was you, I trust it would suitably 'colourful' in keeping with the general tone at the moment!!

I am reminded of when Beelzebub was the manager at Palace and he took umbrage at his reserve GK, one Alex Kolinko, smirking after an error by the GK on the pitch by "clipping him round the ear". 

Guzan is a bit of a buffoon, when all is said and done, but you would have thought that "Villa fan" Lescott would know better.

[Scott Nielsen]

Is there any their profession other than professional sports and football specifically where being personally verbally abused is generally seen as acknowledged, even accepted behaviour from customers?

Well, no, but surely most fans do not feel the same way about their relationship with their club as they do about their relationship with their utility providers? Or maybe they do; it’d go some way to explain the lack of atmosphere in the Premier League, I suppose.

Whilst not wanting to defend the offending jerk at the bus, I’m astonished at the outrage on here. It seems exceedingly tame to me compared to what would be going on in many other countries if a club underperformed to the extent Villa has.

I hope it is a wind-up.

No, I think you have to push it.

That was us. It was Pat McMahon's PSG-supporting French mate who took up the offer of a spare ticket. He was dishing out some random French rants towards the dugout which I'm sure Garde would have heard. He also couldn't believe how primitive our football was. Could hold his beer though, for a young un

He was telling Remi Garde to get his fingers out of his arse and get them playing football, albeit in more earthy tones. His comment to us after the game was that he thought he was going to watch a game of football but was instead treated to volleyball.

[PeterWithe]

He should count himself lucky, I've seen us play far worse this season.

[tomd2103]

I give Richards credit for that and also the fans were being reasonable.
You could just get that they were upset as they saw some players messing about.

I agree with that.  I thought Richards handled the situation well, as it could have got quite nasty.  As others have said, at least one person at the club is willing to front up and speak to the fans.

Any self respecting villa fan would've nicked a battery powered mobility scooter surely.

If Guzan's gum spitting is on a par with his kicking, I am amazed if it got past his chin - never mind anywhere near the touchline.

[CJ]

Guzan/Lescott telling their own fans to fuck off is getting more purchase in the media. They may get a less than warm welcome tomorrow night. For my money I'd not be sorry to see them both out of the club pdq

[aj2k77]

Neither of them should be in the side regardless. Guzan Is a walking blunder and Lescott plays like he's been knee capped.
