How much stick did you get today?
« on: April 25, 2012, 08:04:57 PM »
Just wondered how the rest of you got on today with workmates, friends etc, the piss taking aimed at me today was unbelievable and this was just a starter before the main course should we go down, the look of glee in the eyes of these people was amazing, they cannot quite believe it may happen to the once mighty Villa and the thought of it for them is orgasmic, horrible nasty fuckers, I had better get the tin hat on from now on.

I had a similar experience, it makes it all the more galling to hear the owner/chief exec suggest they know what we're going through when clearly they don't.

The noses are loving it and who can blame them after we dished it out every time they went down?

I had a fair bit but i knew i would, including some off a lad in our warehouse who a couple of years ago was following Newcastle and now 'supports' Albion. Prick.

A lot today, but what was much more concerning was hearing a fellow Villa fan genuinely excited about the prospect of going down, and that he thinks it will be a "crazy adventure".

Knob head.

None. Been at home ill and spoken to anyone but the missus and NHS Direct, neither of whom seemed particularly bothered about talking about the football.

I work in Horwich, next to the Reebok and the CEO at the company where I work made me his first port of call this morning, but it was all good natured banter - it`s a game of football, not life or death.

If you can`t take the stick don`t give it out - remember Small Heath last season and Newcastle the season before - we certainly gave out some stick to their fans.

If you give it out, you have to take it. I imagine the Newcastle fans will be pretty chuffed if we drop, but then the piss taking we did was aimed more at the media led hype than the fans themselves.

Take it as a compliment, I do.

I didn't get anything had a few chats with the people I work with about the game and the mess we're in.  Everyone I spoke to still think that we won't go down.

I work in Manchester. I work with a lot of Bury,Oldham,Man Utd/City and Bolton fans.

I never have given much stick out but kind of wish I had but im not that kind of fan, it was just the level of it that took me back considering we havent even took the drop yet.

More pity than stick. I did have to walk away from one member of staff as he sang "Going down, going down, going down" Nice guy and he was only messing about but I was just not in the mood this morning.

Got a couple of comments but mostly genuine shock at how bad the situation has got.

Stayed at home and kept off here so got none. I have horrible recollections of singing 'We'll meet again' at Norwich and also, I think, against Albion.
Just hope they don't have cause to dish it back.
