    And trading insults with the home fans. I mean, it's quite difficult to produce an atmosphere when your team goes 4-0 down so early but no excuse for the first half. Too many people around me were more interested in giving Villa fans rude hand gestures than supporting the team.

    Personally I think Ralph should have gone with a 3-5-2 from the start but that's in hindsight TBF.

    Yeah had a lot of that near to me too which is incredibly ****ing boring as well.

    I thought we had a 10-15 minute spell just before the second where it looked like we might come back into it and there was next to no response from the crowd.

    Like you say you're never going to get much at 4-0 but there wasn't even a bit of defiance or anything really.

    Probably down to the expectation where we've been playing well. Really, really poor.

    No. Just no.

    Breakfast isn’t breakfast without brown sauce.

    Yep. Went to Wolves. First away game in ages. The pub was filled with teenagers singing about John Westwood being a *****phile (cringe), and in the ground the pricks in front of, and next to me just giving the ****er sign to the corporate boxes behind us. All game. And we were losing.

    Absolute bunch of cocks. Just start a semi-humorous, semi-original song. Once in your lives.

    With an embarrassing score line, the only way to salvage any pride is to sing and ridicule yourselves. I don’t think half our fans even know what irony is though.

    Brown sauce and mustard is my recommendation although HP may be hard to get as it's made in the Netherlands.

    Both sauces applied correctly. Ketchup on one piece of bread, HP on the other

    Ings showing a bit more class than our fans by not celebrating his goal. However, his post match comment struck me as a bit odd - "It was quite easy not to celebrate because I have so much respect for Southampton - they almost gave me a second chance in football"

    ......Almost???

    Although he brought Valery on and went 352 at HT and they almost immediately scored 2 more
    I’ve seen Saints play badly with 3 at the back more than well
    I think the danger is that the shape is more complex than a 4 and the 3 can get out of shape while the FBs lose their defensive focus

    Only seen highlights but looked like the whole defensive 2 CBs and 2 DMs weren’t in their game, however Villa seemed to have more energy all over the field, the recent run has required a lot of energy from the team, maybe we needed one of these to reset

    With the next game being Thursday, we need a volunteer for the next match thread……so we can bury this one.

    Can’t trust you guys for a minute. Go incommunicado for a day and you let the team lose 4-0. Frankly I expected better of you :(

    We seem to have attracted a shed load of ****ers recently. After the Norwich game walking back towards town there were a group of 5 or 6 in their very early 20's giving **** to Norwich fans minding their own business. It really really pisses me off
