John Terry - Gone

[Pat McMahon]

I went to Leicester away in about 1995 and a very large proportion of the away fans were singing "you're the pride of Pakistan"

Not as bad as throwing bananas but pretty shameful

Exactly

Anyone who says they've only seen a couple of incidents of racism amongst our fans in *30 years* clearly didn't go to many matches in the early part of that period.

I would add however, we were far less worse than most supporters, I heard horrendous stuff at a lot of grounds.

I have been going down since the late 60s and heard the chants thatDave Shelley mentioned above, though I remember this on the bus and not in the ground. And I do recall mates telling me of the banana throwing at the Albion in late 70s. Enough of em told me about it at school for it to sound true. I also remember a small group of blokes singing a song about Ivor Linton.

I can't say I ever heard large scale racist chanting at the Villa. I have definitely heard homophobic chanting - Upson being a notable target.

Is there really nothing we can do about that 'JT' thing?

How's about we call it a "thang" instead? Then it'd be well kewl.

I think we need more muscle than that.

"JT? What's it got to do with Jimmy Tarbuck?"

That's my muscular suggestion. (If I can be arsed) I'm going to respond to every post that refers to 'JT' with a deliberate misunderstanding, in the hope that it gets so bloody annoying people will call him by his full name to stop me doing it.

"JT? What's it got to do with Jake Thackeray?"

MON was a big fan of Jethro Tull.

JT 26 shouldn't be anywhere penalties if we end up in that scenario.

No point in asking you, then. Don't you own a beard? Not a hands dirty, wheel-changing beard, but one of them modern, cupcake eating beards?

And I swear, you mention feckin radiators.....

Jethro Tull? What's it got to do with...bollocks, no, sorry, got over-excited.

Quick, for the love of God, change JT to Gerald Appleyard now and save us all.

JT? What's it got to do with John Travolta?

(Edit: just noticed the 26. You've got to be joking).

I can speak from experience that it's been very uncomfortable being an ethnic minority, personally one of Indian descent at Villa games home or away at times. But the 80's and 90's in England was difficult do there's no reason to think somehow Villa fans would have been much different in their racial tolerance to any other fan base around the country. The were representation of society in general. There's good and bad amongst all groups. Although I will say, having gone to Leicester University in the early 90's that was a tough place in the city on occasion.

No idea why anyone thinks Justin Timberlake should be taking our penalties. Who suggested that?

Guilty. And if you ever need your pipes bleeding...

Does anyone think, that now that John Terry has the 26 shirt, Jonathon K might be getting a move
