It's gone very quiet just lately

[PeterWithesShin]

Anyone else noticed that fans of a few clubs not too far from B6 have suddenly gone very very quiet?

Texts, emails, Facebook etc all have tumbleweeds, whereas a couple of weeks ago I couldn't seem to go anywhere without seeing gloating and piss taking comments.

I wonder what's changed?

thing is though peter, they have a trophy this season. They'll be in Europe next, and today's win and other results will probably mean they'll stay up. All in all, they have had a better season than us however you cut it, even if we do manage to finish higher in the league. Let them have their one season over us. We'll be back bigger and better.

TV, my post was more about the gloating of our situation rather than theirs. For the past month or so i've had so much grief from fans of sha, Albion, Wolves, cov, even Stoke, Forest and even a sodding Chesterfield fan. They've been taking the piss for what felt like every day. No longer top club in the Midlands, relegation blah blah. And suddenly, silence! No replies to my texts, or commens on their FB pages etc.

I do agree though with what you said, and i'd settle for finishing below them and winning a trophy.

A better season than us has been, what, about 100 years coming? I'm happy for them. They'll be waiting a long time for that to happen again!

With any luck they'll keep these skint owners, sell the best players and disappear down the divisions for a few years after next season.

I don't care tbh. It just shows how small time Albion, small heath and Wolves fans are when they're constantly talkiing about us and how bad we are or whatever.

It's all peachy and rosy for small heath now, but if they make it into the Europa League they could be in for another relegation battle next season.

To be honest I thought it would be a nightmare if they were to win anything but apart from a rather dismal Sunday afternoon a while back, it's been fine.

Of course, the non-event of the Toxic Reception helped reinstate the rather amateurish and comedic element of the club and they just seem to have settled down into the same old routine of struggling for survival, relying on luck to score goals and never attracting the crowds they boast about.

And after reading the comments from the 'Nose in the Observer a few weeks back about the fact that being above Villa was "all that counts", I would go as far as to say that nothing, really, has changed.

The thing that pisses me off a bit is that Craig Gardener seems to have saved their sad, sorry arses so many times this season. I really dont agree with selling decent players to them. No Liam, you're fine mate, not talking about you

Agree without our cast offs they be down already

What will make me laugh, particularly about SHA, is even though we've had our shittest season in years, we'll still end up finishing above them. Even when we're crap they're second best.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

I saw a Blues supporter mate of mine last night, he was chuffed that they were more or less safe by beating Sunderland.

He wanted me to give him a 'high six.'

Its because we're doing better now. They are happier when we are doing badly, than themselves doing well.

[Woofles The Wonder Dog]

Bet they were miserable when they won the League Cup. I'd gladly finish below them (and not be relegated) and win the League Cup than finish one place above them. They're not that important.

[darren woolley]

I don't worry about them I know they will never have our history or be better than us I am just bothered about the Villa.

[andyaston]

I think many of them thought we were going down especially after the Wolves game and with the so called breakdown of the dressing room.

Within the last week weve shot up to ninth and its took the wind out of their sails.
