Title: Villa Park - from the Man United website
Post by: wozwebs on May 28, 2019, 03:10:40 PM
Nice article to be fair, mainly because they never lose at our place but well written I thought:

Beating Man United at home and winning the FA Cup are right near the top of my list of priorities for next season.

Both have been far too long. Sort it out please, Villa.

Wow what a lovely write up. Seems they have a geuine fondness for Villa Park. And its true it is a beautiful old stadium. (Not withstanding the decrepit state of the north stand facade) It remains to be seen if they still like it so much after Deano outwits Ole and we beat them there. Still though that was as heartwarming as it was unexpected. Fair do's to the writer.

By contrast Liverpool fans - or at least those who post on RAWK - seem to hate us.  We have our own thread there and apart from one or two positive remarks about Dean Smith it's properly ridiculous stuff.

"The stadium was designed by the legendary Archibald Leith in the late 19th century"

Fact check:

The original Trinity Road stand was designed by Archibald Leith and completed in 1924.
It was destroyed by Herbert Douglas Ellis in the late 20th century.

It's not as if the dislike is one way traffic, e.g. posts on here when they beat Barcelona.  I hope they batter Spurs. The same Spurs who offered us a few million and Onomah for Grealish.

There's taking advantage of another clubs misfortune and then there's outright taking the piss.

Not sure how much you can judge from this and I can’t be naffed to read it - but lived up there and in my experience their fans were generous about the Villa, whilst Evertonians were less so, perhaps as we’re more direct rivals. United fans are generally nice about us but as said here, they always bloody beat us so no wonder!

Most of the actual scousers I've met have been fine.  Most of the Brummie Reds have (when football is being discussed) been contemptible.  I suspect the majority posting on that website are the latter variety.

"Oh great, these gobshites are back." A Scouser, calling Villa fans gobshites.  I've heard it all now.

But this is the winner:

Our record at Anfield over last ten years is decent.
7 games: 3 wins 2 draws 2 defeats.

Considering that's five once a season pilgrimages for Brummie reds we've ruined, it partly explains the vitriol. That and the internet is a hotbed of keyboard based twattery at the best of times.

Also fuck Man United, I'd like to read the authors take on Old Trafford, with its leaky roof, mice on the pitch, and general Tesco warehouse inspired aesthetic.

I think a lot of the salty and downright nasty comments stem from that day. I mean come, on how can little old Aston Villa not just go along wirh their plans for Stevies send off by rolling over and letting them tickle our tummies?
Professional grudge holders.
I mean i'm totally over that time at Villa Park in the MON era when in the last minute, the teams level, going towards the North Stand Gerrard took a blatant dive whilst screaming like a bitch. The poxy ref got starstruck and gave the free kick which Gerrard duly took himself and slotted it in for the winner. Cue pandemonium outside the ground. So in summary i'd like to say Fuck em, fuck Stevie G, and come on you Spurs. Actually i hope they both lose.
