When does the Booing stop....

[chrisw1]

Thanks Amfy, you probably expressed it better than me.

There should be a crescendo of boos as we approach the final whistle against newscastle. We should boo every villa player when they are on the ball,  apart from any youth player making an appearance,  we should cheer them.

To achieve what FFS?

3 more games to boo them mercilessly. It should stop after the final whistle at Arsenal.

As for "small time", the only positive comments I've received recently about us from non-Villa fans have been about how our fans have protested in these last few weeks and how impressed they are with Villa fans.. Fuck this current team, make them squirm on the pitch for the next 3 games. It's the only time they are ever forced to listen to Villa fans.

I get your point but I don't think it is right. I want us to win against the Barcodes so have to try and support them

things could be very interesting at the Newcastle game, but only if we still have a chance of bringing them down with us, which at this stage looks as though a villa win or a draw could contribute, whether or not it relegates them on the day. I'd expect the players to still get dogs abuse before the match, but I reckon the crowd will get behind them at kick off if it means contributing to more Geordie tears on the Tyne. You wouldn't put it past the players to lose on purpose though if it meant denying us that one bit of pleasure this season, after the stick that's been given them the last few weeks.

Looking at the wider picture in that match. Newcastle will be giving us heaps after we took the piss last time, but a Villa win could mean we have the last laugh.

If this one's on Fox Sports I might even stay up to watch it.

That's a piont seeing Geordie inbreds crying would be the only be of pleasure from this season. Can we rely on this team to let us down of course we can. We should see how It goes,  if by magic villa are winning,  we should save the crescendo of boos till the end. The crescendo of boos should start from the holte end and work round to the Witton lane, North stand,  Trinity.

You sound like you're here on the wind-up, mate. I won't speculate as to whether you're a nose or a bitter baggy, as I believe it may be against the site rules.

[scott arms]

Just cos someone has a different view don't mean they small heath or Sadwell.

[chrisw1]

What are you hoping to achieve with your beautifully choreographed crescendo of boos?  Do you not think the team have already got the message?

[ROBBO]

How can we be pretty demanding? how many games have we won how many negatives has this bunch set? I think our supporters are very supportive it's only when we can see the players don't play for the shirt and don't give a toss for the club that we get a teeny little upset.

they have really got the massage haven't they?  Pick thousands a week, by shaming aston villa. They probably laugh at us.

Not in a meltdown, no, but there's been no evidence from the season that we've seen that Gil would make the slightest difference. Adama has looked nothing more than just fast and although I personally would like to see him even when fit he hasn't been a first pick for previous managers. maybe his fitness, seeming ease with which he gets injuries, or something from the training pitch has dictated his selection so far. that he hasn't played isn't something that can be hung around Black's neck as his albatross. Green? maybe, maybe not. Maybe he's not ready, maybe he's waiting for an away game, maybe it was him or Ayew and Black fancied Ayew. As for richardson, yeah, he's not good enough, but the point is none of them are. That's why we're bottom with 16 points. Not because of Eric Black and his team selections.

But PW its no coincidence that the players that are being boo'ed and the ones im suggesting being taken out are also our worst performers. He seems hell bent on keeping the same side but they have been getting panned for weeks. I dont see what we can lose by changing it;

Guzan - Bunn really was no worse than him earlier in the season. Maybe not as good technically but Guzan is shot of confidence, that counts for more than talent where keepers are concerned
Lescott - The guy is in mental and physical pieces, was responsible for 2 goals last weekend. Okore has since fell out with Black but should have been in for the Chelsea game, 100%.
Richards - Again, absolutely littered with mistakes last game. Toner should be given a chance. People talk about not damaging the youngsters, Fuck that...He should be in. Donacien is also well thought of.
Bacuna - You discredit people like Traore and Gil but again, he is shot of confidence and single handedly cost us a goal. Traore, Green or Grealish literally could do no worse.

My point isnt that this lot should be dropped because of the Boos alone, it is combined with the fact they are all woefully out of form and confidence. Nothing you say can convince me we will take more of a hiding with the replacement players in.

To be honest, I'd be more worried if the booing stopped while the team is still shit. It would demonstrate that the fans have finally reached a state of indifference to the club's plight and that's more toxic than booing in my opinion.

And as for players not wanting to sign for a club with "restless" fans, I bet that won't stop Arsenal signing a few big names in the summer, despite the boos ringing out at every home game these last few weeks. Players want to play for good teams who pay good money.

Whatever the situation is at Villa, it's not the fans' fault, they are merely reacting the shit that the players, managers and owner have dropped us in.

I'm looking forward to experiencing a bit more of the fans' Dunkirk spirit at Watford on Saturday, assuming we actually make it out of the pub and into the ground

[robbo1874]

I'm guessing it's unlikely you'll be at VP for the Newcastle match mate, but if you are, would you really be booing the players during the game if we've still got a chance of dragging the Geordies down with us? I'm all for giving them stick when they come out, but we've much more a chance of beating Newcastle with the fans getting behind the players during the match?

[aj2k77]

I love how all of a sudden the atmosphere is affecting the poor players.

Was it affecting them in a positive way when they were getting roundly supported for the first 2/3 of the season?

They couldn't give a fuck.

[robbo1874]

Just cos someone has a different view don't mean they small heath or Sadwell.

no you're right it doesn't, but in fairness you've only posted 11 times, mostly to do with booing the players from what I've read. You were pretty quiet when we were in the FA cup final end of last season.

I don't give a shit about Newcastle, whether they stay up or sink with us. And which of our players do you think will, after 35 games of doing absolutely nothing, suddenly make any effort if we clap them?

It would be great to win, not because of who we're playing but because we've only done it 3 times this season.
