Week In Pictures – Lift off for Aston Villa atmosphere

Another week and another defeat for Aston Villa, but at least the Villa Park crowd can see the lighter side of life in a difficult time and the Football Transfer Tavern appreciates this fact.

After suffering humiliation week after week in the Premier League and the Capital One Cup this season, a home defeat to champions Manchester City was inevitable.

Paul Lambert and his side will have to battle their way out of this relegation fight if they want to keep hold of star man Christian Benteke in the summer and the Villa fans have already expressed their opinion on the Belgian striker.

Some say there is no atmosphere at Villa Park these days so the fans below felt the need to sport appropriate attire before revealing the real reason that Benteke has been the main man this season.
