Fortunately I work with a Leicester Tigers fan and wouldn't know about the significance of last night if I'd had it tattooed on my forehead. I had a sympathy chat with a colleague who's a Man Yoo fan but really I just wanted to swear loudly so that didn't help.

I shall shortly be starting a new job with a boss who is a Blues fan. I am praying we survive and they flunk the play-offs, as I may not be in the job for long if it goes the way I think it probably will.

Boss tried to be funny and give us no points and sneak clubs to the other teams on the BBC predictor
We stayed up....

I was at a funeral today and two noses both talked about swopping places. I just stated that we were getting what we deserved. Depressing.

I share an office with one other Villa fan, two Wolves fans and a Brummie red, so none at all. Two are the only team worse than us at the moment, and the red doesn't know what day it is.

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 had to visit a client in Stoke today and one of the guys who is a Stoke fan and has very occasionally chatted to me about footie shot down the stairs as soon as I arrived and said " Bet your looking forward to playing Palace next season then Steve" it was kind of funny and suppose it was a back handed compliment

You should have said "I'll scout the place out for you for the season after next".

None as I don't live in the Midlands, so everyone here just takes pity on us. I was working with a QPR fan today, so we we've joined forces in hoping Bolton/Wigan keep losing!

I have horrible recollections of singing 'We'll meet again' at Norwich.

That's crossed my mind too.

Work near Stourbridge, so I got away with it, a few Wolves fans giving me a bit of "you're coming down with the Wolves".. but that's about it. Got a few baggies fans lining up the bullets for Saturday.

None. Not too many Villa fans around me, and I don't think I've ever met a bluenose outside of Brum.

Living in London, it seeems last night was when colleagues finally woke up to the fact that we are in a right mess. And that I haven't been a deluded maniac by insisting for months that Villa could go down.

None.

The only bloke at work that that's into football is a Cov fan.

My bluenose boss keeps wandering up and down the top corridor of our offices pretending to be on a walkie-talkie to Agent McLeish - hilarious!
