Pics: Aston Villa fans had a special greeting for former captain Fabian Delph

Fabian Delph made his return to Aston Villa today and fans made sure the club's former captain was left in little doubt about their feelings for him.

The England midfielder joined City just days after committing his future to Villa Park and was roundly booed when he was brought off the bench by manager Manuel Pellegrini in the second half of the scoreless draw. A few fans went one step further, however, holding up colourful toy snakes with Delph's face attached, which elicited a mixed reaction from Football Twitter. https://twitter.com/TheAnfieldChat/status/663372997361803264 https://twitter.com/Jonocardoso_10/status/663373633688109060 https://twitter.com/MattSquires22/status/663373169848418304 https://twitter.com/AWright002/status/663372319411322880 https://twitter.com/adielawton/status/663372077626466304 https://twitter.com/DanAsp19/status/663373367106543616 https://twitter.com/rach_wbafc/status/663372532595167232 https://twitter.com/JoeKarizma/status/663373083823206401
