Portsmouth boss Redknapp upset with young Villa fans

Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp admits he was left upset by the Aston Villa home crowd after their 3-1 win at Villa Park.

Redknapp said: "You've got people saying stuff behind you with little kids shouting filth. I didn't bring my kids up to talk like that.

"Do we have to keep standing there and accepting that? It didn't happen when I went with my dad to watch Arsenal play every Saturday. There was none of this sort on nonsense going on.

"Maybe I shouldn't get upset but I do.

"What hurts me the most is when I see someone going at it, when they have got their little son by their side.

"He can talk how he wants to me. But doing it in front of his lad and making filthy gestures just stinks. Maybe it is a reflection on society."
