Martin O’Neil Archive

According to various websites, our very own Martin O’Neill was in the middle of a brief rant over some Villa fans.

It is believed that the home supporters were urging MON to make a change and put a striker on, in which he hit back:

‘That’s why I’m standing here, and you’re sitting over there, you tw*t.’

Not something you hear often from our boss and equally not very professional giving the circumstances.

However, I see it as a good thing.

The remark clearly shows O’Neill’s passion for the club and how much he cares about our success.

His careless approach in responding to the comments suggests, to me, that he was heavily involved in the game and was evidently thinking of ways we could possibly get a winner.

Nonetheless, a more thought-out and considerate retort would be a better solution, but things like this can happen. Football can get to us!
