Aston Villa v SHA: Pre-match Thread

He's a thick ******. Should not have fed the troll.

I’m glad they’re doing all the talking for a change.  This is the latest ‘if my uncle was my Auntie’ post.

The tragedy is that we should be about 12 points above villa if we weren't so impotent in our first 10 games.

Yes if they weren't utter shit they'd have more points.

They must be the only side in the world that would have been higher in the league if only they'd not been so shit.

Theres a thread on there at the minute about the new tv deal.  Fair enough you say.  But no they just cannot bring themselves to admit we are the most watched on tv.  Instead confining themselves at how right Leeds are to be outraged.  They just cannot accept bare facts ever when it comes to us.

Surprising really when they have all that pashun.

They really are flapping their gums ahead of this one. Gardner talking about how we must be nervous and how they're such a high quality squad...bring Sunday on now so these shit houses can be put back in their box.

85.5% voting for a Villa win shows how much we're shitting it.

#BCFC The Zulu hooligan firm is one of the first large football groups to have a mixture of all races when formed #AVFC meanwhile had a black mascot named darkie........ we know where the class really lies in Birmingham

It's as if both things were happening at the same time. Also, the entire problem with 'Darkie' is precisely that he wasn't a 'black mascot'.

Apart from that, crack on, bellend.

I'm reluctant to ask but Darkie?

[PeterWithesShin]

For a fan base that doesn't do history they sure seem to know all about ours and bring up Darkie and the Nazi salute on a regular basis.

I'm coming over with my 9-year-old for this one.  We can't wait.

All I've ever known about it is contained in the photo attached to that tweet. It doesn't strike me as being particularly out of kilter for the age in which it took place, although judged by today's standards it's obviously shameful.

A bit like the Blues naming their firm after a southern African tribe because some of their number happened to be part of the Caribbean diaspora, of West African descent (but I'm right down at their level now so I'll stop. I'm not ever going to defend the 'Darkie' photo).

Jeezus Christ!  I'd not clicked on the twitter link before I asked, thanks SE.

As far as anyone can work out it was one game in something like 1950 and no one knows why he was there, who he was, or anything.

The fact a Nose owns the copywrite to the photo tells you everything.
