Supporters spend a lot of money going to the villa to support their team. Theirs that word again (support) do people know what that actually means, it means to be their through the good times and the bad times to sing their arts out lift the players when things are not going to plan, to wear the colours with pride weather your top, middle or bottom of the league. If you are going to spend your hard earned cash to come and support the villa them welcome to Villa Park if not them save your money and stay at home we don’t want you or need you at Villa Park.

“The boo’s are coming from a small minority of Villa fans, who don’t appreciate everything Villa have achieved this season”

Wrong

They are smart enough to realise that O’Neill and the players are getting paid many times their annual salary to play football to the best of the ability.

I would take that in a heartbeat, boos or no boos. If O’Neill or the players are fickle enough to only take the positive then they can quit the game and I’ll take one of their places.

f tottenham or for that matter most of the club in the prem was 4 or 5 would be very happy.one thing i will say alot like tottenham when we finished 5 if we was to play in the champions league we would not be readyas a squad and i dont think villa are ready to take that step.no doubt your manager is top draw but come on to boo them is a total joke if you was bottom then maybe but your 5th would take that thank you very much.

I’ve spoken to loads of prem supporters (other than big four) and they all want
Villa to break the top 4 this season in fact anyone to break the BIG FOUR would
do for me bonus this year it could be Villa.
It maybe our only major chance for a few years to do this, so please get behind the team and MON we can do this ,Arsenal have the run in from hell and are still attacking in 2 cup competitions.
Lets give it loud for the final push it can be done remember the wall of sound against AJAX and look at that result.
We can have the inquest at the end of the season, until then don’t be fickle.

Good article. As another Spurs fan on here lol and one who knows all about the Boo problem, as we have it at the lane also and we too have some fans who dont appreciate the finer points of football. For us this season as you know it was all about survival for you its all about europe, we were there not too long ago and we know probably better than anybody how difficult it is to break into the “top four” (I would recommend food tasters for your players in away hotels). Neither the “Top 4″ themselves nor the PL want you crashing the party so you are/will probably see “poor” decisions go against you too. Hope you manage to achieve it esp at the expense of the gooners but I think there are too many “variables” against you. But good luck for rest of season!!

A good piece, It’s frustrating but this is something that happens at ALL clubs … Many people have theories as to why this is so, but generally everyone is after instant success and when it doesn’t go their way they want to let everyone know.

Money in the game doesn’t help and when so many footballers are so chav like, in their behaviour, i.e. going out getting drunk with airhead wags, and parading their super expensive cars, it’s like having it rubbed in your face when in order to have bought those tickets people make real sacrifices.

Fact is it doesn’t help your team to boo or to single out an individual and give them a hard time .. if it meant that then there would be some sense to it …

Now that our games SPURS -VILLA (1 win each), are out of the way I hope you go on to get that CL spot …

Ok Fickle fans well i say bollocks to that every club has fickle fans but Villa just seem to get picked out…In This day and age of High priced tickets fuel costs and everything going up in the middle of what is a tough time money wise, but our players dont get hampered by this and 4 or 5 of us make up what one of them earn in a week what we earn in a year arn’t we entitled to have a moan… I disagree with the booing that much i agree with but at the end of the day we wnat success for Aston Villa F.C and lately with not strengthening in Januray we have throw away the most glorious chance we have had in years…

I agree, Gabby has done so much for Villa i cant understand how anyone can boo him for his performance, how does this help??? I hope he stronger that that and it does spur him on to shove those boos down your throats but it could be quite the reverse.
