We capitulated on the pitch today but there was a bit of class in the stands, the fans were loud as always away from home.

Still in shock from the second half. After that desplay,I am dreading the next two games. Fans sounded great on TV. Just a quick question, how did the banner go down with the rest of the Villa faithful around you? I have seen the pic circulating on social media and it has had an embarrassing number of bad responses from other Villa fans.
Also, I have noticed that the Brigada is treated with quite a bit of suspicion and distrust by many, mostly because it is misunderstood I think. Can I ask why you blur your faces out of photos? It makes you appear to be intimidating to some and maybe part of the reason?

UTV I really hope that we pull our fingers out for the next two games, I think Sherwood will have them pumped up for those games though, he looked completely dejected after the game so hopefully he picks himself up as well. I understand that there was no negative reaction to the banner though I did here that someone else with some sort of similar display got an earful off some muppet. In terms of blurring our faces on photos it's something we've always done and there's various reasons for it. Some members may not want their emplooyer to know they're involved with the group, the negative connotations attached to ultra groups and the lack of understanding about what it actually involves means that it wouldn't be good for members to have to explain to their boss what they're involved with. On top of that we don't opposition fans or elements that may be opposed to what we do having a library of images of members to gather information from, the group have had threats from far-right groups so it would be folly to post up mugshots of members, even if those threats are largely hot air. When we first started we had a lot more critics that we do now, a lot of those who are critical are so because they either don't understand what the group is about or they're hostile to tha fact we make an active stance against the likes of the EDL at the ground. Others may simply not like our style of support and that's their perogative so it's not a problem, each to their own.

Nice touch lads! First half we looked superb all of a sudden when we went 0-2 up we just lost our heads, Sherwoods subs didn't help. But the fans who are saying Sherwood need to chill lol
