VIDEO: Aston Villa fans pelt Ciaran Clark and team mates with violent abuse on way to bus

We're all in this together

At least they’re sticking together.

Aston Villa fans who booed Martin O’Neill’s team or pointed to the player wages at Villa Park under the Derry man’s regime must surely miss the good, old days. They must.

As it is, they’re on their way to the Championship and failing to beat League 2 side Wycombe.

A 1-1 draw in the FA Cup third round against Wanderers couldn’t have been further from the highs of last season’s 2-1 humbling of Liverpool at the Wembley semi final.

Micah Richards tried his best to reason with fans in a heated exchange during Saturday’s game but it obviously didn’t work.

The supporters waited afterwards for the players to board the team bus and they did not hold back.

Republic of Ireland international Ciaran Clark is seen getting onto the bus and the torrent of abuse that’s hurled at him and his team mates is the very definition of hostile.

As you can probably guess, the language is not safe for work.

Villa Park should be fun on Tuesday night.
