Just wondered how much fun you have had since Tuesday seeing how sad the fans of our local bitter rivals are following us stopping up, there are a few guys at work who have in recent months salivated at the thought of us going down , their excitement at the prospect of us being relegated has been unbelievable, but the devastation written on their faces on Wednesday was truly amazing and their bitterness flowed out, how I enjoyed it.
I have relentlessly took the piss and just kicked the shit out of them.
Villa scarf worn Wednesday
VIlla cap worn Thursday
Villa tie worn today.
And guess what I will continue with this onslaught all summer, how much fun have you had?
UTV
Ps my stripey filth colleagues have by far been the worst

Everyone at my work suddenly has nothing to say to me.

Facebook on Tuesday summed it up. All the Blues fan went on there saying how we had become the new Wigan and how we got lucky again. They hate us with a passion, some of them said we got lucky against Sunderland! They really are the most bitter and twisted bunch of scumbags anywhere in football. They go out of there way to knock us, which to people outside the region find strange.
-
MY Birmingham City chums have started about how the Premier League is a rubbish league that they don't want to be in.
-
Everyone at my place has been pleased for us. A good set of decent fans from other clubs.
-
I'm pretty lucky with who I'm obligated to spend time with - the Wolves fans obviously have nothing to take the piss about, the two Stripeys have been more convinced than me that we'd stay up and the only Nose there is a top bloke (obvious flaw aside) who claims to want as many Midlands teams in the top flight as possible.....
-
Blues fans usually talk about Villa more than their own team #obsessed.
-
And Baggies fans only measure their success against how Wolves and/or Villa have done. So, they've piped down a bit - especially as they've been in poor form. We'll overtake them again next season. I'm confident.
-
Luckily, Villa are very popular in Ireland so most people have been delighted that we are staying up and I haven't had much to deal with all season!

They should be happy bunnies for many years to come then
-
First it was: 'haer haer, yer goin' down.' Now it's: 'haer haer, yer gunna lose Benteke.'
There's always something with them.
When will they ever learn to creep back under the cowpat they crept out from and stay there?
-
My Albion supporting mate is so convinced that they did everything they could to send us down that he's expecting Albion to be brought up on match fixing charges.
-
Don't say anything, it drives them crackers. After all that gobbing off they will expect a comeback, resist the temptation. They know what's happened, they know that you know and how happy you are. And you know how pissed off they are. They will have their answers ready, but don't give them the chance.
I haven't been in my local for a few weeks due to a family illness but will be in for the games tomorrow and as I meet up with all those Sandwell fans, my opening line will be:
"Alright lads, well, what do y' reckon? Arsenal or Spurs for that final place?"

My hatred for them knows no bounds. They have now shown their hand and it has left them red faced. Down they go next year, there to stay for many years to come.

Indeed, and if the roles are reversed, I still won't say anything. I'll just smile.

That's why the noses in our area don't give us grief (on the rare opportunity it arises) as we support Villa rather than go out of our way to be obnoxious to fans of other teams.
-
A couple of the younger plastic mancs I know were genuinely perplexed when I said that I would continue to support Villa if we went down. They seemed to think I would have to have a 'prem team' to support instead and that as Manyoo were the greatest I would start supporting them. I blame Sky...
-
Albion are a plucky little club who have done amazingly well for a club of their size. It's great to see a club with such a tiny ground and scant resources up there and mixing it with the big boys. I am really happy to see a minnows like Albion having some success at last.
Patronise them to an inch of their life. They hate it.
-
I didn't realise until the other day how small the Hawthorns was. I thought it was about the same size as the sty but apparently capacity is only 26,272. Slightly bigger than Wigan and smaller than Bolton. Pride of the Midlands indeed.
-
Living outside of the West Midlands I literally don't know any Blues, Albion, Wolves fans. What I will say about fans of various other teams is that they've all been convinced we'd stay up far more than I was and the majority seem to be pleased we've done so. I've heard a lot of praise for sticking with Lambert, young team going to be better next season etc. When things were going badly I found this a touch patronising but I like hearing it now!
-
It's also worth remembering that this is the Bitter's best season for 32 years. The best a generation of their fans have ever known. They'll finish 8th or 9th.
And another fun stat, next time they try and take the piss out of our gates, remind them that only twice in their history have they had a higher average than we've had this season. That was in 1950 & 1954. We know what they are.

It's a well known fact that you can touch the roof of the main stand from the touchline, it is the smallest main stand in all four leagues and the most reported incidents for St John Ambulance to attend during the season are head injuries from fans bumping their heads on the roof when standing up to sing about Aston Villa.
