Agbonlahor admits Villa boo-boys upset him

Gabby Agbonlahor admits he's been upset by the boos coming from his own Aston Villa supporters.

"Yes, that was a bit upsetting", the 22 year-old told the Telegraph. "You don't expect that from your own fans. Ever since I started here I've always had the crowd on my side, cheering my name and stuff. So to have that happen didn't feel right.

"I don't really know why they did it. They were probably upset because they'd been used to seeing us win games and in the top four for a long time. Maybe they wanted to take it out on someone.

"But that's fans for you. It's not just at Villa, it's the same at most clubs. Eboue got it at Arsenal, didn't he? If they're used to winning games they turn quite quickly and look for people to blame when things go wrong. I think to myself, if they want to do that then I'll block it out and just play my own game. Pretend I can't hear them, even when I start playing well again."
