Hi General, Agree wholeheartedly with your last post. Those who have criticised Martin O'Neill and Aston Villa in general after one game were foolish (even more so the idiots who boo and continue to use this bizarre "I pay my money, so I can do what I like" excuse). However, it will arguably be more foolish for anyone to imagine that after one victory everything is rosy and we will waltz into a top 4 finish! Now is the time to knuckle down and make sure we try our best to stay in Europe - which may be far harder than people think. However, what concerns me most is an apparent breakdown in the mutual affection between MON and our fans - understandable given the unjustified booing, which depressed me more than the performance v. Wigan. In Premiership football, continuity is key and I've been naively hoping that Martin might be our first manager in ages to stay for longer than 5 years. He sounds pissed off at the moment - have you spoken to him about how he feels towards the fans, and reassured him that there are a quiet majority that are completely behind him? Thanks and Up the Villa! Radders

Hi General, Just wanted to add my disbelief at the booing. What Lerner and O'Neill have achieved in the last two years is unbelievable and I hope they realise how happy us fans are. There are often some idiots around at Villa park (eg the coin thrower) but the vast majority of us are delighted to finally see great, spirited football return to villa park. Also agree with the earlier poster, re shirt sponsorship.
