Meh, don't really have any dislike to Olbion, maybe it was once our derby but sadly our derby is small heath now - atleast most of their fans seem like they can behave themselves unlike the small heath rabble. It's still a big game, we've got to win - no other result will do I'm afraid. It's quite sad to think that Olbion was just another easy win for us regulary, I genuinely think they could bea... not gonna say it lol.
Albion hardly registers as a derby for me. It may have been our original rivalry but that was decades ago and I don't know why we pretend otherwise. Born and bred in Brum so only one real passionate dislike for a team and that is of course our friendly neighbours from Small Heath. As somebody previously mentions, if you are from outside of Brum then the nearest local team will be the big one i.e. if you live in Blackcountry it will be Wolves/Albion. My wife's family are all Wolves season ticket holders and they call Villa fans in the Blckcountry 'glory hunters'. I wish.

I've never understood the whole Albion derby thing, I only ever hear about it online, don't know anyone in real life who hates the Baggies more than small heath.

Try living and working amongst Tesco fans & you will change your opinion. Albion are scum & there fans talk the same sh*t as the noses do.

How can it be a Birmingham derby when one of the teams isn't from Birmingham?

Small Heath on the otherhand... despite being used to losing to us all the time and always in our shadow they still get more bitter and twisted everyday. Even though Villa vs albion is still a derby and I truly acknowledge that, it's not a nasty or violent derby... most of it is banter because we both have much more classy fans than small heath. I prefer it that way.Albion fans > small heath fans
