Redknapp was seen on several occasions to be involved in exchanges with Villa fans situated in the enclosure behind the Pompey dug-out.

It took the shine off six successive away wins for Redknapp's team which keeps them on course for a European spot.

The Portsmouth boss 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."

On a happier note, Redknapp was delighted with the performance of his side as they moved into fifth position in the Barclays Premier League.

An own goal from Villa midfielder Craig Gardner and two superb strikes from Sulley Muntari sealed the victory for Portsmouth.

Redknapp said: "It is a terrific performance away from home. We are on a great run, scoring goals away from home and looking very strong.

"Villa Park is not an easy place to come and to score three goals as well as missing other good opportunities was a tremendous performance.

"However, I would think that the top four are on another level to us. They have got the squads and are strong.

"These are great times for Portsmouth, however, 11 games unbeaten. We should make the most of these times."

Villa manager Martin O'Neill preferred to speak with Redknapp before making any comment on his allegations of crowd abuse.

He was disappointed at his side's failure to cash in on some gilt-edged chances as they slumped to a second successive home defeat.

He said: "Even though we lost against Arsenal, I felt our confidence was enhanced if anything going into this game.

"But we get knocked back by a fluke of a goal by Craig Gardner and their other two goals are from wonder strikes.

"But we still had chances and had we taken them it would have been a different story. Martin Laursen had a great chance to make it 1-1 and David James produced a fantastic save to halt Gabriel Agbonlahor. That would have made it 2-1 and would have made a big difference in the game.

"We have a decent belief in the team and when we pulled one back late on through Gareth Barry's penalty, I still felt we could get something from game."
