When will the olbeyuns wheels come off?

[Meanwood Villa]

My neighbour suports them and looked at me incredulously when I said that I would give him a tenner if they finish above us.

Given his incredulity did he say he'd give you a tenner if we finish above them? Maybe you could backdate it and get £300 off him for the last 30 years.

[mshurst]

I pray they're going to do a Burnley.

I can't stand the smug "best Midlands team in the league!" coming from the missus every other fucking day.

Ask her how much she's enjoying it. Then tell her to imagine having that feeling for the past 35 years and she'll have an idea what it's like to be a Villa fan.

Admittedly after saying that, you probably won't get any for a while!

Well I'm flying over especially for the home match and when we win it and thus well and truly take the shine of the Stripey Filth love-in, you won't be able to prise the grin off my face with a crowbar. In fact if it is then followed by a Burnley style freefall down the table I literally won't stop smiling until 2011.

Like it

Was it 1984 ish we last lost to them?

Pissing it down with rain at the hawthorns and they scored 3 in 5 minutes

I believe it was April 85, we lost 1-0 at the Hawthorns.

[adrenachrome]

Mini disaster under way and progressing very nicely.

1-0 down at Blackpool and reduced to 9 men within 30 minutes.

[villajk]

They've certainly lost their stabilisers tonight.

[Monty]

I'm going to give the answer to the question in the thread title as "right about now".

[adrenachrome]

Heres a song for those lovable Smethwick rogues who have made the trip north.

Two wheels on my wagon,
And I’m still rolling along
Them Cherokees are after me
Flaming spears, burn my ears
But I’m singing a happy song

[SoccerHQ]

My Dad's bet me a fiver they'll finish above us.

Freebie of the year.

[DeKuip]

When Brendan Batson put the ball past his own keeper at the Witton End under pressure from Peter Withe (if I remember right). They've been stuck on the hard shoulder ever since!

[D.boy]

November 1st I reckon.

[TimTheVillain]

Am watching glimpes of the Blackpool game on Villastreams, they do play some great football.

Hope it's temporary.

[hawkeye]

they are a better team than us right now, but confidence is a strange thing and any of about 15 teams including us could end up strugling this year
