Aston Villa supporters are far from impressed with what Birmingham City boss Garry Monk has said.

Garry Monk the manager

Aston Villa fans have hit back at Birmingham City boss Garry Monk, after his latest comments.

Birmingham’s season ended yesterday, and Monk was keen to thank his side’s supporters – but, perhaps, he made an ill-judged comment.

When Villa met Birmingham earlier in the season, Jack Grealish was punched from behind by a Blues fan.

And Monk has been accused of referencing that moment in his speech, which has angered Villa fans.

“I want to thank the fans for all their support, it’s been huge. Off the pitch and on the pitch,” he joked.

Villa supporters have felt that the comments lacked class, and have hit back at the Birmingham boss on social media.

Birmingham capped their season off yesterday with a 0-0 draw with Reading.

Villa, meanwhile, lost 2-1 to Norwich City at Villa Park, as their unbeaten record came to an end.

Villa’s campaign is still not over though, as they will face West Bromwich Albion in the play offs next weekend.
