Fantastic
-
WMP won't be pleased
-
Quality draw. Knocking them out will be very satisfying, so I hope Tim plays a proper backline.
-
You are joking?
-
Rocky Lane II
-
Hmm...not sure I like this...
-
Trouble with the Noses by the Vine post game.
-
Shit on the city
-
Mother of god.
I have to fly over.
-
We're not up and running they are...not looking forward to this one bit. Especially when you remember that this is all they exist for and they've been given a chance to win what is their reason to be.
-
Tough draw but we should win.
-
Can't bloody wait. Bring 'em on!
-
Full strength team needed for this, they've improved a lot under Rowett and we know our record v lower league in recent times.
Don't like the midweek aspect of this so will probably watch in the pub and go to Walsall-Chelsea instead as I assume they'll be on separate nights.
-
Trouble with the Noses by the Vine post game.
Prediction or tonight?
-
tasty draw for Walsall too vs Chelsea
-
Tonight.
-
3/4 days after we play Albion at home too
-
Tesco bags on the Saturday. .dogshite on the Tuesday. .
-
Is this the midweek before or after West Brom league game?
-
A perfectly timed wake up call. It could be the best thing that happens to us this season.
-
Cmon guys, we have another month to gel, and full ground with the atmosphere electric, the team will be well up for it.
Fucking hairs standing up on the back of my neck already....cmon you lions
-

After
-
Tesco bags on the Saturday. .dogshite on the Tuesday. .
Even better.
-
If there's a week to get the season going, that's it.
-
We will twat those hill billies.
-

We'll do 'em 5-0, chill out.
-
Didn't Gestede score a 20 minute hattrick v them last year?
-
Hate playing them, we are all they exist for, the longer we don't play them the better. And a night game, would could possibly go wrong.......
-
Don't think this will be on tv either. Spurs-Arsenal and Walsall-Chelsea are probably the sky picks.
-
First two names on the team sheet
1 Agbonlahor
2 Hutton
-
Gabby, you know what to do...
-
Brilliant fun! Been way too long since we played them.
-
Initially I was excited and now the feeling of dread is sinking in
-
Shit on the city
We are better than that. No need for us to sing this.
-
I would rather we face a top PL team at this stage as this is the round when they play reserves but Small Heath it is.
-

Rowett clearly done a good job. Sunderland need a new manager mind.
-
Knuckledraggers won't be able to sleep tonight. This is all their wet dreams come true at once.
-
Poor draw I'd quite happily never play that shower of shit ever again.
-
Grealish to break his duck in front of the Holte End for this one.
-
Wouldn't Miss this one for the world
-
Poor draw I'd quite happily never play that shower of shit ever again.
This; was not happy to hear the draw as I drove home this evening.
-
Shit on the city
We are better than that. No need for us to sing this.
In fact, this draw ensures that this and related songs will increase in frequency and volume up to, during and after the actual match.
-
Entertaining both elements of the axis of evil in less than a week. How delightful. I'm going to be Ireland for the Small Heath game. Don't know if this is something I should be pleased about or not :-/
-
Let's not get our knickers wet.They never play up at VP most of them will come by coach and they will lucky to get 2,000 tickets.
As for on the pitch the team should be too good for them.
-
Noticed Baggie Boy Gregg Evans from the Mail retweet Colin Twattum...
"Cracking Capital One Cup tie that. Big draw for Villa welcoming the 2011 competition winners. #BCFC"
United in jealousy.
-
Well at least we now know when Gabby will next put the ball in the net.
-
Shit on the city

I'm not, it's called banter, and why is everyone so negative about this game.
This is the game I miss every year, why would we not want to play our local small Heath rivals.
-

Unless the police step in we have to give them a minimum of 10%, so 4,200.
-
It's a game we can't really win, like having a fight with a child. If we lose, though, it's fucking embarrassing and bad for our self esteem.
-
I think the negativity comes from the thought of possibly losing to them and the potential for trouble - though I think we'll win and the police will surely have learnt from the Albion cup game
-

You'd have thought the police would have learnt from the LC QF. And the Monday night games and so on. But still it goes on.

Bring 'em on the knuckle dragging wankers...
FUCK THE FUCKIN FUCKERS!!!

I hate having to to play them. It makes me feel ill. But if we must play them then we must also sing "shit on the city."

To the nearest hundred, how many reasons do you want?
-
At least it's a few days before the pitch gets cut up by the egg chasers and not a few days after.
-
I hate playing them like everyone else. However I also love beating them like everyone else. So let's do both.
-

-
Like many, I'd be happy to never play them again. But, it's a home game against a non-Premier League club in a cup we should be aiming to win.
Could've been worse.
-
Just had a feeling we were going to get them. The chance to beat the region's two biggest Villa obsessives in the same month? Why not!
-
I love the derby games, the songs and the proper rivalry that goes with it. It's what makes football exciting.
There is no point living without fear in the middle of the road. If you don't want local rivals and all that goes with it, then you end up being some utterly pointless club like Reading. Fuck that.
-

I love beating these, the 5 1 game, the gabby last minute goals, the cahill overhead kick, the milner penalty. They're all great memories for me and I'd say 90% of the Villa fans enjoyed those moments greatly. Never understood how people say its a no win situation

I should imagine they'll get the whole of the North Stand

I disagree, virtually every nose I know makes it their game of the season and they try to give it the big un but a defeat in their world cup final hurts them hard. Imagine having your sole reason for existing swatting you aside, it hurts. We should be well up and running by then, i'm looking forwards to giving them one.
-
Bring em on. They're getting a bit uppity again. Time for them to have a bloody nose. Grealish to tear them apart.
-
Just done some quick maths and there were more empty seats tonight at Villa Park tonight than at the club who carries the city's name proving them in some tiny way to be the kings of the Midlands in someone's tiny mind no doubt.

Well that must have been a photo finish if they had 9k in their hovel tonight!
-
We are the knuckdraggers' every flickering dim-witted half-thought, their every vomit-tinged breath, their every embittered emotion. They will be coming to Villa Park to see the team that validates their existence. Win or lose on the pitch, this is their oxygen. They need us.
We don't need them in any conceivable way. We just have to eliminate them, but there's no glory in stamping on a cockroach.
-
How many tickets did we get at the shit tip last time was it 1600?
-

How the fuck can they "get a bit uppity". They're Birmingham Fucking City, FFS or have you forgotten?
-
How many tickets did we get at the shit tip last time was it 1600?
Was about 4K in the LC iirc.
-
I'm remembering a half empty away section not far past the hour the last time they played us at Villa Park, their tiny Villa obsessed minds completely be-daddled by seeing their one aim for the season go up in smoke and I love us doing that to them. We've won 6 of the last 9. They will be absolutely desperate to get something.
-
Wasn't it 0-0 last time at VP? Only memorable for Bannan going for a header against Vidic and the crowd laughter being the loudest thing of the day?

I've erased most of that season from my memory it seems, actually most of the last 5 years.

Just had a look it was 1500 due to the council safety advisory group......no me nether.
-
Dec 2004 last time they won at ours
Since then :
3 1
5 1
1 0
0 0

Was that in the league? I thought we did get a bigger allocation for the LC?
-

Reduced allocation wasn't it after the trouble there in the cup game?

Yes your right but didn't both clubs get done for it?

Stan this evening:
Stan Collymore @StanCollymore 1h1 hour ago
Delighted for Gary Rowett.
Finally gets to manage in the dugout at a club he’s loved since a young boy.
Fairytale stuff.
-
Horrible, I hate it when we play them.
-
Will Rover cancel the night shift?
-
The obsessed twats had a match thread on sha for our game tonight. Funnily enough they stopped posting on it at 3-3.
-
Funnily enough I've never actually seen us play Blues - this may well be my first.
-
We will twat those hill billies.
Well excoooose me!
-
Horrible, I hate it when we play them.
yeah and me ,,,,,,,,,,but at least its not at their shit tip this time
i dont know if i'll go
getting too old for all that shit
-
I bet the coaches are being organised as we speak.
-
after the last game didnt wmp say they wouldnt police another evening kick off again?
-
Ugh.
-

I'm sure they won't mind people not paying taxes towards them if they can't be arsed to do their jobs.
-
I hate this game....we can't win whatever the score is...if we win it's a one day joyous feeling, if they win it's carnival time, on their ""honours board"" and a suite/portakabin named for whoever gets the winner.
UTV
The Doc
-
I hate this game too. Painful mental and physical scars from 03.03.03.
The vilest supporters I've ever come across. It'll be a tricky one, but we've got a great chance to once again show them who's boss!

Plus it will inevitably "kick off". It's amazing how all the noses have suddenly crawled out from under their rocks.
-
We are giving it a miss.
There is no way I am going to push a wheelchair through that shit, it's just not safe for my wife to be in
-
Get into Em...
-
I don't get the attitude that we can't win this game. I really fail to see how its being small time to enjoy smashing your local rivals, even if they are 2nd division shite.
-
Let's beat them moronic bastards. Can't beat a little hate in a football match. I'm small time probably. :)
-

The only way we will lose it is if Bunn has a Enkleman moment, or one of our outfield players crack under the highly charged atmosphere and make a blooper
-
I predict a fairly routine win, but a few heart stopping moments thrown in. Blues are shit, we're not bad. Good will triumph over evil.
-
WMP won't be pleased
Probably not, but last night Villa, WBA, Wolves, Walsall & blues were at home.
-
First heard this when I got home last night and thought 'I can't be bothered with this'.
I've since slept on it and have a really positive instinctive feeling about the game. They may be well drilled under Villa Rowett but quality should overcome them. Derby outplayed them last week with simple pass and move stuff so with the likes of Grealish and Adama, the thought of how this game plays out excites me.
To sign Lescott this week would be a masterstroke by Tim. Two brummie lads at centre half who understand the derby is exactly what's needed.
-
Hmmm, lose lose. We win everyone says big deal, we lose and never hear the end of it. It's their cup final.
Also they haven't got Ridgewell to score a winner for us nowadays.

If Clark and Baker don't understand the derby mentality, after being at Villa for 10 years...
-
Might give this a miss through choice as opposed to circumstances.
-
Firstly we should congratulate them for getting to their cup final. Just done a quick mental tot up and my personal record in the derby is been to 18, won 9, drawn 2 lost 7.
-

There isn't a Villa fan alive who won't enjoy smashing these apes. It's just that we won't be having an open-top bus ride through the city and an executive suite named after the occasion.
If I had pubic lice I'd be happy to get rid of them, but I wouldn't throw a party.

Surely Bunn's place is in doubt? This whole idea of playing your second choice keeper in the Cup is fins if the back up is decent. Bunn doesnt fill me with confidence.

Would you trust those pair at centre half in this game?
-
Gulf in class at present. I know derby games are supposed to be levellers, but I expect us to win. At home too. Bring it on.
-
I assume it'll be on a different date to Walsall v Chelsea as the police don't like Villa being at home when there's lots of Nazis in Walsall.
-
It won't be as bad as 03-03-03. :)
-
will have to find me baseball bat mmmm where is it, its been a few seasons must be in the shed
-
Forgive me I have sinned,and have just been for a wash, I could not resist having a peep at their reaction on SHA.
Lots of enthusiasum for hammering us, Smashing up the toilets, Wondering from one Ape if they would get 15% ticket allocation.
They do seem to think that as they play on Friday and us the Albion on Saturday they will be fresher.
Suggestions of flags showing Carr lifting the cup to show us what we could have done. Obviously a History Buff.
As befits creatures of the dark they seem very pleased about a night game.
Bury them.
-
I like the fact that publicly they will be wetting themselves with excitement about beating The Villa but privately thinking they will probably get beat and shitting themselves at the prospect of a heavy defeat.
-
Can't wait for this !
Will we win..... I hope so but it ain't gona be no walk over.
Last minute flukey toe poker will do for me Tom .
-
Looking forward to this it's a good draw for us.
-
"He's one of our own, he's one of our own. Gary Rowett, he's one of our own".
-
I like the fact that publicly they will be wetting themselves with excitement about beating The Villa but privately thinking they will probably get beat and shitting themselves at the prospect of a heavy defeat.
They also know that, whatever happens on the night, the next day we'll still be Aston Villa and they'll still be Birmingham City.
Shame.
-
I actually recognised more of the Notts County team than I do the Blues players - The Arsehole Robinson aside I would not pick one out from a line up
Rowett I feel will not use the previous tactics of roughing our players up
If ever the new boys needed an introduction to big city rivalry - this will be it - it will be spine tingling
I have often said even if we were guaranteed to beat them 10-0 every game I would still prefer never to have them darken our door, on the one chance they beat us
-
Serious question. Is there any chance of this being delayed until after the RWC games - I am thinking here that the plan would have been to 'hand over' the stadium after the Albion game to allow plenty of time for the full corporate makeover required before the Saturday egg-chasers game, which will include everything from beer supplies to every sign in the place (different sponsors paranoid about ambush marketing etc). I can't imagine those in charge will want to wait until midnight on Tuesday to start this exercise and then their first job being to repair all the damage that scum will do to seats / toilets / fire extinguishers etc.....?
Also, I am on holiday from 21 - 25 Sept and don't want to miss us give them a good shooing.....!
-
Is this first home game since 5-1 ?

I certainly wouldn't pick centre halves based in the fact they are Brummies - and Richards was only born here as his mom was visiting, he didn't grow up here so probably knows less about it than Clark, who has at least played in one.
-
As far as I'm concerned if we never played that shower again it would be too soon.

If we play Clark and Baker as the centre back partnership for this one, I'm worried.
Give me a partnership of Richards and Lescott and my confidence for this one increases.
-
I'm fully expecting the old bill to cap their allocation to something they can control, probably the corner of Witton Lane. If they get the Upper North Stand as well, they're asking for trouble.
-
It will be a rush on for the Rugby for them to replace the toilets and seats with the inevitable destruction that will take place of them.
-
I think they'll just get the normal allocation, or if it's extended they'll just increase their amount in the Witton Lane rather than putting them in the North Upper.

No problem - don't rugby fans all piss in pint pots and shit out of coach windows anyway?
-

Nope (http://www.11v11.com/teams/aston-villa/tab/opposingTeams/opposition/Birmingham%20City)
-
Small clubs in cup games should be awarded an allocation that reflects the usual away following they take, to keep band wagon jumpers and Johnny Come Latelys out the game.
Under those circumstances, we should be able to fit the Noses in the temporary Sky studio in-between the Holte and the Witton Lane.
-
Anyone there when we beat them 5-0 in the cup in 87?
I think we beat them twice that season, also 6-2 in the zenith data systems cup (?!) or simod cup, or whatever the fuck it was called then.
I was about 14/15 at the time- got the Lloyds bus from nuneaton and walking down trinity lane to the Holte was spine tingling. One bloke walking towards me had veins popping out of his head and neck he was that charged up- went to take a swing and obviously thought better about smacking a school kid at the last second. I skipped out the way anyway into the road and carried on. That was a mad night - they were lighting fires all over the witton end terracing and it was going off all over the place by the leisure centre where the coach was parked afterwards.

It Was 1988.
We beat them 5-0 and 2-0 in what was the Rumbelows cup then 6-0 in the Simod. I went to all three games.
It was my first live encounters with the unwashed and forged my mindset for the rest of my life. Just pure Blues of a club!!

Are the autocorrect is in
-
6-0 was it? I thought they got a couple at the end. My memory isn't the best! The 5-0 was also my first encounter with our lovely scumbag neighbours.
2-0 at least is my prediction for this and them to be despatched back to South Birmingham
-
The return leg was my one and only visit to the sty. I swore that I was never ever going to return there!

I remember in the cup game they had a rookie keeper which my friend put down to the 5-0 rout. A week or so later their "Proper" keeper was in and we put 6 past him - IIRC only around 7/8K turned up to see it - unthinkable really for a derby
such fun - but would still prefer never to play them
-
In case anyone is in any doubt that this will consume their entire existence until the match, please look at the attached if you dare - I particularly like the delusion about their entitlement to a massive away allocation beyond the 10% with their huge attendances over recent years.
http://www.that lot.com/read.php?1,1854759
-
Maybe we should put O Neill in charge for one game. We'd be guaranteed to win. Pube Head's record against them (for us) was impeccable.
Still, I'm sure Sherwood, short of a brain fart team sheet, will see them off.

Are they all mentally ill - seriously?
Ignorant
Racist
Suggesting smashing up the ground
Considering us 6 fingered
They will need more tickets?
"Assuming the vile can sell 36K"
Considering our attendance last night was almost the combined total sum of them and the Bitters at home - please do fuck off you delusional inbreds
Suggesting drinking in Perry Barr like last time - I would like to have seen that attempted back in the day - eh Mr Woodhall - as I said dillusional

Anyone there when we beat them 5-0 in the cup in 87?
I think we beat them twice that season, also 6-2 in the zenith data systems cup (?!) or simod cup, or whatever the fuck it was called then.
I was about 14/15 at the time- got the Lloyds bus from nuneaton and walking down trinity lane to the Holte was spine tingling. One bloke walking towards me had veins popping out of his head and neck he was that charged up- went to take a swing and obviously thought better about smacking a school kid at the last second. I skipped out the way anyway into the road and carried on. That was a mad night - they were lighting fires all over the witton end terracing and it was going off all over the place by the leisure centre where the coach was parked afterwards.
It Was 1988.
We beat them 5-0 and 2-0 in what was the Rumbelows cup then 6-0 in the Simod. I went to all three games.
It was my first live encounters with the unwashed and forged my mindset for the rest of my life. Just pure Blues of a club!!
I remember in the cup game they had a rookie keeper which my friend put down to the 5-0 rout. A week or so later their "Proper" keeper was in and we put 6 past him - IIRC only around 7/8K turned up to see it - unthinkable really for a derby
such fun - but would still prefer never to play them
Tony Elliott, he was a few years above me at school. We went down to Wembley to see him play for England Schoolboys.
I went to all of these games, I thought it was packed but looking at the attendance there was hardly anyone there.
-
Only been there the once. My old man had a team playing in a final of the Birmingham cup. Shithole, I remember it being a bit like highfield road i.e shit. We were in that little shitty side stand.
-
I hate this game too. Painful mental and physical scars from 03.03.03.
The vilest supporters I've ever come across. It'll be a tricky one, but we've got a great chance to once again show them who's boss!
As much as they go on about what they've won recently in comparison to our 7 League Championships, 7 FA Cups, 5 League Cups and being Champions of Europe, they might care to reflect on 2002-03 being the ONE and only time they've finished in a higher league position than us in the last 40 years (and then I think it was only two places !!). So much for them winning something in the last 20 years !
Bigger club than us ? not in the last 150 years nor in the next 150.
I see no reason why the boys can't be up for this and put them back in their place.
-
Sherwood's got to get them up for this one. Score the winner and you're an instant legend. We'll muller them.
-
Their forum is ridiculous. I have never read so much drivel. Inbred is an understatement.
They should show it to the team prior to kick off.
By the way - Tim - This is a NO LOSE GAME under any circumstances!!
-

yep, people still talk about that Cahill goal as if he still played for us

They've finished above us more than once, they've been in a higher division than us in the past, that is the only season in living memory for most of though, even those of us who are slightly mature. In age if not actions!

Merely referring to the last 40 years PWS - seeing as they have an objection to all our honours not meaning anything now - I too remember the bad days of the late 60s/early 70s when for a couple of years (1969-70 - 1974-75 if I remember correctly) when they were in a higher division than us
-
Well this can only be an anti-climax after last night, but I am so looking forward to us getting one over on them anyway! Fingers crossed by then we will have a few more league points in the bag too.
I would play Richards just because the atmosphere is going to be so intense that I think you need that sort of experienced player, so I think him and Clark as the center backs should be fine. I do agree that this is a rare game made for Hutton, and I think Gabby and Getstede would be my two up front. Sachenz could be useful in this one too.
The season starts now for me! :)

Walsall v Chelsea confirmed for Weds 23/09/15 so you would guess our game would be on Tues 22/09/15

I see more of the apes when I'm at my place Tywyn than I do here in Stafford.
Growing up as I did in Great Barr, I never really knew any of them, and only became aware of their complete obsession about us when I went to work in the City Centre in 1974.
I think I may have mentioned it on here at the time - I watched the semi final against Liverpool in a local caravan club house in Tywyn, all was peaceful and good until 3 lads came in wearing Blues' shirts and vocally cheered everything good Liverpool did. I just thought if they were playing Liverpool in an FA Cup semi final - I may go to watch it but if I needed to find somewhere, I doubt if I'd advertise being a Villan just to annoy them - strange people - more bothered about hating us than actually supporting their own team.

I wonder if Olof Mellberg has any plans that week. He'd be splendid special guest.
-
Exciting tie very much looking forward to it. Obviously after the Albion game, another pitch invasion is of concern. Don't know what punishment the FA would give us if that happened.
On another note this is the 4th time we've been drawn against Blues in the League Cup since 1988, yet the last time we met them in the FA Cup was 1901. Also this is the 10th time in a row we've had a home cup tie, the last away tie been Millwall in the FA Cup in Jan 2013. The odds against that happening I would say are very high.

I recall the Mail producing some stats about 15 years ago saying that the Blues had finished above us around 16 times in their history.
I may have dreamed this though.....

I can't think of any other derby in British football where one team is so inferior to the other - think of (supposed lessor club second -Man Utd v Man City (City have won the championship twice and FA Cup in recent years and in the late 60s and early 70s were the far better side - Liverpool v Everton - again in the mid 80s Everton were twice league champions and won the FA Cup and Cup winners Cup - Arsenal v Tottenham - Spurs won the double in the early 1960s as well as few more FA Cups and EUFA Cup - Newcastle v Sunderland - the latter won the FA Cup against all the odds in 1973 and am I right in thinking have won it another time in the 1930s and maybe have been league champions - Celtic and Rangers have both had their time as the big boys in Scotland - both have won European honours - even when you put us up against west brom or wolves - at times they've both been far better than us - 2 divisions higher at one point.)

Stoke & Port Vale
-
Meanwhile the greatest team in small heath's history finished 6th (their only ever top 6 finish) and lost the FA Cup final.
That's the equivalent of our 1999/2000 side being the greatest and most succesful Villa side in our history.
Stop sniggering at the back.

Stoke have only ever won the League Cup (once) and as someone who'se married to a "Stokie" I'm not aware of Port Vale basing their entire existence on Stoke slipping up.

Just out of interest - where did we finish in 1956 ?

20th.

As i'm dishing out the saddo stats, that's the only time in our history we've finished 20th. We've also only ever finished 3rd twice, and also 14th twice.

Yes, of course in 1972-3 we finished 3rd (well behind Burnley and QPR and I think that was the year before it became 3 up/ 3 down ?

BBC website saying 22nd. Any news from anywhere else?
Booked off the next day as the gaffer said it's definitely the 23rd.

Nothing announced from either club yet. I reckon 22nd just because Walsall/Chelsea is the 23rd.

Forest & County.
I think many Forest fans would view Derby and not Notts County as their main rivals. I was talking to someone at work about it earlier and I think unlike many other major rivalaries, we haven't played each other that often. I think that fact makes the build up to the games more intense.
-
We've played each other about 120 times. But I know what you mean.

Notts (I know it annoys their fans calling them that !) Forest and Derby is another good example - Derby league champions twice in the early 1970s and Forest disrupting Liverpool's supremacy in the late 70s - another example of where one team historically is not superior to the other

My old man always used to say "We've had the FA cup nicked more times than they have won it"
They also lost the FA cup final 3-1 to Man city - whose GK played part of the game with a broken neck (just for the youngsters who may not know)

20th.

And I'm sure I remember reading that a salary cap was introduced to stop Sunderland and Villa winning every (other season) in around 1905. Although I'm pretty sure Villa weren't even particularly big spenders in the 19th come 20th century in terms of wages.

I remember the league cup win 1-0 when deano scored
The 6-0 was bittersweet as a close mate of mine Tony Elliott made his debut for the scummy shit bags in goal and he was personally at fault for 2 or 3 of the goals (I paid him next day )

What I remember most about Saunders winner was Jimmy Greaves insisting on the highlights show that he was offside and when presented with the evidence that he wasn't, insisted that there was no way the linesman could have spotted that he wasn't and flagged him for being offside.

I hate playing them. You are sick to the pit of your stomach for days thinking about the fallout should they win. There is all of the unpleasantness that goes with it and we can't win. Particularly now they are in their rightful position a division below. We win and it us business as usual. They win and you will never hear the fucking end of it. It will be trotted out in 20 years time when you are bickering with one of them.
Mind you, vanquishing the region's pretenders in half a week sounds tremendous.

Terry Cooper was the same.
Greaves didn't think Tait should have been sent off, and even when told and shown that Saunders couldn't have been offside, he still said he should have been flagged.
-
I remember that vividly. Greaves refusing to accept that the, erm, rules of the game should apply.

I had one of those soul-destroying, round-and-fucking-round arguments with a Villa fan, who insisted that him being in his own half or not was irrelevant as a bloser had touched the ball.

I remember that as well. Saunders must have 4 or 5 yards inside our half when the ball was played.
It might be my imagination, but didn't he come out with a quote after the 2 games saying something along the lines of "I've played in the Trent derby and the Merseyside derby but I've never experienced anything like that. Pure hatred"?
Either way Sherwood is about to find out that any Lancashire derby or North London job are but dress rehearsals for the real thing.

When you're playing that lot, the context of the game in terms of competition and how far you've come are pretty much irrelevant.
Would that QF defeat in 2010 have hurt less if it was the 3rd round instead?
The only way it would matter more would be if (god forbid) it was an actual final or by some miracle they'd got a chance of denying us a league title (Yes I know that's actually 2 miracles, one to get them promoted and 1 to get us all the way back up there.)

"Zulus gonna get ya"

From behind the Windows of the coaches they come on.
Surely the Zulu myth was put firmly to bed 12 years ago, their fans will be a lot more worried than ours should be.

I'm ringing Ginge and Dan tomorrow about this
Fat Ginger and Danny Brown?
Ginge won't like being called Fat but I may pull his leg.
Has he lost weight? Or self-awareness?
Don't forget your toe-rope.

Save Gabby now for his mini season
Ha ha. Please pick him!!!!😎

I assume it'll be on a diffrent date to Walsall v Chelsea as the police don't like Villa being at home when there's lots of Nazis in Walsall.
This deserves the H&V equivalent of a retweet.
Highlights of the 1993 meeting. Skip to 16 minutes for the sending off and the goal is not long after that. The last five minutes includes the aforementioned appalling analysis by Cooper and Greaves.

Indeed, my reply saying bravo, bravo and throwing flowers on the stage seems to have disappeared.
Superb.

Tait is pulling the same face he did at the Clements post game in 2010 just before he dived behind the bar as it was turned over.

It never gets old seeing Cooper and Greaves making twats of themselves. That Greaves stuff is up there with Jonathan "I don't understand goal line technology" Pearce. Comedy gold.

Dunno what you mean *whistles innocently*

Pure genius comedy by Greaves...its almost as if he actually believes what he's saying. Oh wait...
-
Bob Hall hit the nail on the head there in '93. SHA were missing then renowned superstars like Andy Saville and Pesky Solido. Phew, we got away with that one! As for Greaves, he was always a shit pundit.

Incredible to see the referee being asked to explain the main talking points of that game with the presenter, Newbon. That was never a common feature of post-match analysis in the past, was it?

Yep. Have heard today that we're meant to be scared cos they're gonna infiltrate our end like they we're gonna in 2003.
They really are ******. Embarrassing.
-
The infiltration of our end has, thus far, consisted of two blokes who where bounced out of the WL and are still probably rubbing the bumps on their scalps.
I can't say I have too much sympathy, even the muggiest of noses I know thought they would be able to do what they wanted at VP. They have pretty much kept they're heads down since then.

I pointed that out but I suppose 12 years is a long time!

I wonder if the Mail will try and stir it up pre-game with more Zulus in the Holte nonsense?

Which is nice.

Looking at their web site it really is like they have won the lottery - how bizzare that its seemingly is all they actually care about
There has not been a single, articulate comment about a football match - all about vile this vile that and what they are going to do. As I said previously when they mention their players names I would not recognise one in the street if they came up to me
I am sure Yeovil fans would not go on like that if they had drawn Chelsea / Man u away
Oh and their comment about not filling our stadium - it seems their fans all went to the game disguised as cheap plastic chairs
-
I would charge them all fifty quid a ticket, with the money going to Acorns and throw in a free and compulsory stadium tour.

Like the dimmest of playground antagonists, they will pick on any aspect of our club's culture or personality, and attempt, witlessly, to turn it against us.
We have influence outside the boundaries of north Birmingham, so therefore they will proclaim "Da vile ent proppa Brummiz cus they fram Wussta an' Lishfield an' Glossta, ennit?" while they wait for the bus back to Solihull.
Don't they understand the reason why few outside the slums of south Birmingham support them is because they are an irrelevance, totally insignificant in the world of football, and utterly repulsive to all sane human beings? Or the reason why most of their fans are Brummies is simply because they had the misfortune to be born into a whoop of shit-hurling south Birmingham sub-chimps, and that no outsider would ever choose to be a part of that sorry scene?
"Da vila are historians," because Villa have actually achieved things in their 140-year history; and yet since the knuckledraggers fluked a cup in the last decade, they've suddenly all become scholars themselves.
"Da Vile play in pink an' baby blue," which, with such sensitivity to colour, makes them sound like simian Laurence Llewelyn Bowens.
"Da Zulus will batta da vile," because that's what it's all about, football, having a crew of sad, bald, astonishingly thick 50-year-old apes in tacky sports gear, jumping up and down on the spot, hitting families with children as they pass by.
I've never come across such a pathetic troop of dimwitted cretins, consumed with bitterness and jealousy, so utterly obsessed with their illustrious neighbours, in my life.

Already getting shite from people I had genuinely forgot was Blose and could not give you directions to St Blandrews.
I work in Manchester and although they understand city rivalries it is hard to explain how one sided this obsession is with them. It has been mentioned that there cannot be a more one sided local rivalry when it comes to history, honours or glory. I think that is the thing that separates this derby from any other and the obsession they have with us

In the sense that they have had a good start to the season, we are still finding our feet with a shed load of new players, it is a derby, it is their cup final in so many respects and the pressure is all on us to win, I would say that is a fair summation, the hatred notwithstanding.

He's got to say something along those lines though, hasn't he?
He's not going to come out with "Well we're f¤¤ked before we start, the players will be hoping it's better than the last time they were there with Big Alex. Meanwhile I can't lose. Win and I'm a hero to the great unwashed and guaranteed a job for the next 5 years if I want it. Lose? Well hey ho, no one really expects anything else, and I got to see my team go marching on."

It will give me the chance to mention to every Bluenose how their manager is a Villa fan. They pretend it doesn't wind them up, but you can tell it really eats away at them.

Dread has turned to excitement .... we're going to win this well.
We have too many individual players that can hurt them in different ways (Adama, Grealish, Gestede) for us not to win this.
They look well drilled and organised, but they aren't exactly pulling up trees like their fans seem to suggest.
My main worry is Tim's approach. If he shows them no respect and goes gung ho in some attempt to make a name for himself by smashing them then we could get caught out. They counter relatively well from what I've seen of them so playing no holding midfielder for example could be suicide.
My prediction, 3-1 Villa. Jack to score at the Holte.
-
The standard of literacy on their forum is genuinely shocking - yet another area in which we are infinitely superior versus the knuckledraggers.

Oh yes you can! KRO!!

The Police will decide but after the Albion throwing seats incidents I doubt they would put them in the upper North and our fans below, I suspect it will just be the normal away allocation in the upper and lower Doug

Albion had around 6300 as FA Cup is 15% of capacity
So there's no way Blues will get the normal away plus Upper North
Perhaps just the Upper North but block off the first few rows ?
Or a few more next to the standard away bit
I'd rather they were nowhere near the pitch myself !

Just give them the whole North Stand.
Might be either for police to control that than putting them in two different stands.

Could we put them in St Andrews and provide a video link?

Why would we give them an advantage of having support behind a goal? Fuck them, if they can't be trusted to not act like massive dick heads then they should get reduced tickets.
-
We should give them exactly what they gave us for the LC game in 2010 - about 3k I think? They could have given us the whole Railway End like they do for Albion & Wolves but they didn't, so let's just give them the bare minimum.
I'd also like to think we're suspending all new Villa Cash memberships until after the cup game too, otherwise there'll be dogshitters signing up just to get tickets.

It'll need wire brush and dettol after those mongrels have been near it.

We didn't even get the whole lower tier for the 2010 LC game as there were noses in the end block to our left - it even kicked off under the stand at HT. And the upper tier wasn't closed then; it was full of unwashed, many chucking things down on us. I think our allocation was around 3500-4000 ish.
-
We didn't get the full allocation we could've got because of police advice.

The away side is entitled to 10% of capacity in the LC, so with their small ground we probably got more than the minimum. Our allocation was cut for the league game later that season because of the problems at the cup game.

When I lived in Bartley Green there were plenty of Villa there, and in Northfield, Weoley Castle etc. It's a total myth that they dominate the south of Brum.

Yep they definitely had a sliver of the Agbonlabor End, as the doors were kicked through at half time. They were upstairs too, as they were chucking their giro money down.
I hope we nail wooden boards across the entrance to all the toilets and close all the refreshment stands as they did to us.

Police can lower it of course. Barring that though you have to give the away side 10%, obviously in the LC a lot of times the away side don't take that many any way.

I remember in the 1980s I'd wait till the point at which my bladder was starting to rupture rather than go to the bogs in a football ground.
I didn't see this so much at Villa Park, but in the late 80s used to attend matches on the Gallowgate End at Newcastle quite often, and there you'd hear "stand back, stand back" (actually logistically incorrect advice) during the match and some bloke behind you would just be pissing where he stood.

I hope we nail wooden boards across the entrance to all the toilets and close all the refreshment stands as they did to us.
I don't.
I hope we act with grace and good intentions to them, as fellow lovers of football. I wouldn't want us to ever sink to their shitty fucking level.
I don't think that's genetically possible for us to be as bad as the Sherlock Street boys, but I do hope it's the most excruciatingly unpleasant experience for any Sty Dweller who visits B6.
I imagine that will consist of a really bumpy coach journey and a right hammering on the pitch for them.

When did toilet smashing become all the rage? Was it a case that the toilets were so bad in the 70s and 80s that there wasn't much point biffing them in?
Makes twats look hard while their equally hard mates film it. They can then tell all the internet hooligans how they "dun da ground ova".

I remember in the 1980s I'd wait till the point at which my bladder was starting to rupture rather than go to the bogs in a football ground.

Ha! Crikey, what's wrong with the Scots? Actually that's quite like scumbags at concerts who piss in bottles and then lob them forwards.
I recall a trip to Ninian in the mid-00s and the gents was an empty room with a channel cut out for three quarters of it and nothing else.

My Dad is a nose. The night before the 77 LC final all my mates had tickets, but I didn't. My dad went into town, toured the pubs looking for tickets and managed to secure us a couple.
We drove down to Wembley, got in the ground, realised we were in the Everton end. My dad kept telling me to shut the fuck up and put my scarf away (would do neither). We started getting stick from the scousers, one of whom threw a bottle of piss at us, which basically drenched my dad and his brand new sheepskinish 1970s coat.
It stank so much he had to bin it. The poor fucker. I'd never be that nice to my son.

That's love that is. What a guy!

Most of the Lulus are of an age now that the only place they'll be pissing is in their colostomy bags.

My best mate's dad is a proper nose , but he took my mate down around the time we were going well under Taylor.
I still delight in reminding him of it today, once he's finished telling me how they should have won the cup in 1975.

I remember a visit to Highbury once where the piss was flowing like a fast running river out of the doors of the actual toilet block
You had to wade through 2 inches of piss to get to the urinal by the time you got there it seemed almost pointless
Mind you it was the same at lots of grounds though
Even so still prefer Highbury to the new one
-
I recall queuing for a piss at old Wembley in 96 only to realise it was against a wall, not in a urinal
-
When I lived in Bartley Green there were plenty of Villa there, and in Northfield, Weoley Castle etc. It's a total myth that they dominate the south of Brum.
Agree. I lived in Northfield and although a(n un)healthy dose of Noses Villa more than matched their numbers across Northfield, Weoley Castle, Cotteridge, Kings Norton, Longbridge etc etc Bournville is a nice area so clearly that was Villa and the end of the Nose.
-
I grew up in Warley, realistically I should of been a tesco fan, but just kept feeling sick with there stripey vest.
So thankfully, chose a quality team, spent a lot of time over in quinton as a lad, and would say that was pretty much more villa than the scum.
As I got older, would drink in the the castle, the cock, the hobsons, stonehouse and these were a lot more blues based areas, ie, Bartley, Weoley.
So to reiterate, scum hole areas = the filth
Classy areas = claret and blue faithful.

Remember the toilets at the Sty being smashed in the late 70's - the same match that we had darts thrown at us driving back into town - taken as a whole we are classier than the Blose but the addition of alcohol to almost any group of people will allow the development of arsehole-tendencies I'm afraid

There are plenty of Villa fans in south Brum and Solihull, but those areas are also fertile breeding grounds for knuckledraggers. The point is, you don't find concentrations of knuckledraggers anywhere else. You get the odd few in north Brum, like anxious bonobos separated from the group.
The main difference is that Villa fans aren't snobby about where their fellow fans come from. If you're from Worcestershire or Warsaw, you're hardly a glory hunter if you support the Villa, so you're welcome to join us.
But knuckledraggers seem to think that because Villa have fans from further afield, we have no Brummie fans, which is patently fucking ridiculous. Yet, a good number of their own come from Solihull. The irony hurtles over their flea-infested heads. The tramps.

I'm seeing an increasing number of those shitty Peaky Blinder updates appear on Facebook in relation to this game. Talk about flogging a dead horse. They've really got themselves down as some kind of sinister mob. In flat caps.

I seem to remember Maine Road having some pretty bad bogs "back in the day". There's nothing like spending your week's wages on a pair of new, rare trainers to wear at the football and then having to paddle through piss that came up to the lace holes. The good old days, eh?

They are so deluded they think the threat of Lulu violence carries any sort of pulsating menace. If they intend to come looking for trouble, which they won't unless they're lobbing bottles behind a police line, then I'm sure they'll find that as ever we've got their measure.

There was some good evidence that the Noses have a support base about the size of Blackburn in the Coventry Road corridor with which to draw upon.
The public transport maps that WM Travel created displayed Villa drawing support in good numbers fairly evenly throughout the city and the environs, with higher concentrations in the north.
The Noses on the other hand had faint blue smudges in the south and east and this Blackburn sized hole with which they quarter fill their tiny tin pot ground.
Still, they carry the city's name.

Not the only ones, unfortunately.
A disappointing experience from last season: a Villa fan, about 50ish, jumping up and down on a basin in a big attempt to cause damage/flood...at Burnley, Leicester or somewhere like that.

yeah they need to put 2 in each one , cos without doubt they will intend to smash them up
and police on the concourse at half time will be needed

Wouldn't they need to either own a season ticket or have Villa Cash to get a ticket in the Holte or any Villa end? Demand for this will be huge because you've got loads of people who never go to games trying to get a ticket and I think even they'll struggle without much of a history home or away.

They usually have a firm of about 150 who make their own way but get wrapped up by the OB, then around 24 coach loads from the Sty. I think we have three coaches go to the Sty, from places like Cheltenham etc.

My point exactly. they won't get tickets and they know it. It just helps their ego that they're seen to be saying such shit. When push comes to shove, they'll be nowhere near VP.

When I was a youth it really was quite intimidating going from Chelmsley to Stechford with all my local chimps, and then getting on the 11 to Villa Park, knowing that would be packed with Acocks Green chimps. Equally daunting was getting the 163 or 53 straight to the Sty.
Even so I did it - I would be too embarrassed to get a coach to either venue.

There was. Ours was the one that had a blue brick lobbed through the window, as we were coming up the hill, to the away coach park!

If they get an allocation of 4000 then it might be possible with the number of coaches they will bring, to create a bridge for them to walk from the Sty to Villa Park, through each coach, shouting Zulu of course, without ever having to touch the pavement.

Not really. Its always been one of the nastiest derbies going, the difference in 2003 was that they had bought in to all of the nonsense and thought they could do as they pleased, with the Mail having its part to play in that.

I hope they are going to bang on the windows of the coaches, I like it when they do that, it re-enforces all the stereotypes about them.

Talking of piss, I am reminded of the time in the not that distant a past when (and this is the absolute truth) they could tell if they had a big home attendance by measuring how far the piss from the men's toilets at the top of the Kop had streamed down towards the front, it was that bad.

I remember before the Cahill game me and my sister were waiting to cross the road at Six Ways when their coaches appeared, we couldn't believe how many there were. As we were in colours, as they passed us they were of course mostly acting like knobs, we both just kept smiling and waving, which seemed to annoy them even more. Even the copper on the bike in front of us laughed when I said it looked they were coaching in the extras for a new Dawn of the Dead movie.

It would be nice if we all wore Carson masks.

I didn't believe it either,
Untill I had a season ticket in the cheap north stand lower section and when we played them I saw a load of coaches near DW's old selling patch when leaving after the game
I actually took some photos on my my phone, must still have them somewhere but to non technical to post
There was about 20 if I remember correctly
-
The Club laid on transport to carry Villa Fans to the Sty from VP a while back.
So I do not see what the big deal is.

If that was for the last match in the league cup then fair enough, it's the only one I couldn't go to because of the limited ticket allocation
But I've been to all the rest and if the coach park is in the compound where we get holed up in for an hour after the game while they perform outside and throw things over the fence at us,
then I can tell you that there was only a handful and they were all from outside areas of Brum like Kiddie Litchfield etc
-
I don't think the club has ever laid on official transport to the Sty or Sandwell. It doesn't stop supporters associations going with a coach though.
The Noses on the other hand under the porn barons would sell their official coaches as some executive nonsense, with a mark up for a breakfast too.

They usually have a firm of about 150 who make their own way but get wrapped up by the OB, then around 24 coach loads from the Sty. I think we have three coaches go to the Sty, from places like Cheltenham etc.

He latched on to me a few months previous (as you know I was the local ace-face) and I took him to his first Mod night, first Northern allnighter etc., and now it was time for his first Villa-B-lose game. He turned up at the bus stop, not in his Mod gear, but in a claret and blue jumper his nan had knitted which had 'ASTON' knitted down one sleeve and 'VILLA' down the other. I was absolutely shitting myself that somebody I knew would see me with him.

Even if it's played at 6am on a Thursday they'll still come in a convoy of coaches.
To be fair it is only because they get a discount for using the same coaches they use regularly to ferry them to and from their special needs schools and adult learning facilities. I like the date of the fixture. New York had 9/11, Birmingham will have 9/22.
-
Is it definitely a 7.45 kick off? Is there any chance they could change the kick off time nearer the game? If I am going to have to have the 'big hand on the/small hand on the' conversation with any noses I don't want to have to explain it all over again to them if they change the kick off.
-
Anybody remember a friendly we played in about 1994 mid-week to mark he opening of the Kop and Tilton, where after the game you couldn't leave through one of the exits as there was a cascade of piss streaming down from he ceiling.
I was there with my dad and blues uncle in the kop corner. I was terrified, my dad took it all in his stride, Villa scored and he cheered - I can hear it now - "GOAL!" he wasn't jumping about or anything just a fist pump. Got told he was a Villa bollox but had no trouble at all.

Maybe the hold up is how fewer tickets the Villa should be given as Blues will take over 3/4 of Villa Park
-
Not forgetting the 30,000 Neanderthals at Villa Park in person, the Sty, the Nou Camp, Wembley, the Bernabau, the Maracana, Allianz Stadium, Stadio Olympico in Rome and Ibrox are all showing the game on big screens - that way all 500,000 Blues fans who would have inevitably gone to the game have another outlet to view the match against the Vile (gerrit).

Yes but not many of them will get release from jail to fly to Birmingham!

I've really no problem with them coming in all their coaches. i guess they go from the Sty and it must be lovely for some of them to actually visit their own ground once in a while.

A short break in the Lakes provides me with the distance I need from the Derby.
I hate the games in all honesty but of course will be in all sorts of states in the days before so a bit of autumn scenery will take my mind of things. I have checked the access to a TV with Sky and will be able to watch the match. The enemy wondered why I couldn't miss the game all together but I told her that watching it will make me marginally less unbearable to be around than if I didn't know what was happening.
And I bet I bump into a fuckin' 'nose at some point.

You'll only notice one if they win

Still nowt on website, ticket site, Facebook page. Guessing allocate Cup Scheme today, then a few days for STHs to claim their own seat, then the ever-descending criteria for the hoi polloi, finally leaving four or five days for the blosers to sort out their shifts and snap up the remaining 20,000.

It is two days after my little ones christening. My in-laws will be here and the father in law is a wolves fan, so will be watching it with him.
Living in Benidorm, one of the only things in life for certain is that I will bump into shithead whilst trying to find a quiet pub - you know the type, Mark-One or Shiteon Showers top, teeth like a row of bombed out council houses, gets excited at the thought of a match lighting along with a wife that looks far too similar and makes Jabba The Hutt look like a five pinter!
Saying that one of the only certain things in life is that if I am watching us play the Blues anywhere in the world there will be a shithead there. 030303 I was 5000 miles away in Candolim, Goa and had to put up with a fat inbred twat whose only vocabulary was 'Go on Sav'. That was obviously a fun night.

Blues have been given 2800. I assume thats just the normal away end.
-
Blues have been given 2800. I assume thats just the normal away end 10 times their normal away following
-
In keeping with clubs who have a shit away following those fannies get a smaller allocation. When we beat them 5-1 they never filled the away end and all fucked off after 55 minutes anyway, so they can crawl back under their rocks again. What was it as well, 23,000 for a local derby with nearly 4,000 away fans?
-
And cue the inevitable ''we guna av thousnads in ur ends'', no you wont and those few that do will get a slap if they try and take the piss.

yeah and R1 in the lower north next to the doug ellis will be a designated empty segregation area
any villa season ticket holders wanting their normal seats there will have to relocate

Now everyone's booking history is online, restrictions can be put in place to make sure that doesn't happen?

I had a quick look at one of their forums and apparently Albert Einstein has come up with the idea of booking a stadium tour of VP so that gets them a booking ref., buying tickets for the game with their new booking ref and then cancelling the stadium tour. You seriously couldn't make it up.
They also seem unable to grasp the concept of that the away allocation for the FA cup is 15% and 10% for the Carling Cup but the Police can override this - which they have.
-
When do the tickets go on sale to season ticket holders? I have had a mooch on the villa website (isn't 'mooch' a fantastic word?) and can't find any details.

2800 sounds a lot too many, vague recollection we got 1500 at The Sty last time we met?
-
There's no way hundreds of them will be in the Villa end unless they have an extensive booking history. The Albion one was strict, and I can imagine ticketing credentials for this fixture being even stricter.
-
Have a look at their forum. They're ranting and raving, conveniently forgetting our allocation for the last game at the swamp was nearly 1k less. They should also have a look at their average away following since time began. It probably doesn't add up to 2,800 altogether.

So is it us who've denied Blues a larger allocation, or other parties? I can't tell from that statement. I thought we had to offer the 15% and then it was up to the council/WMP to restrict it based on safety?
-
I've wondered this for a while - how can you be a Villa cash memeber without having a season card?

We are also not selling tickets in R1 which means that the block next to the away fans is closed so our available seats are also reduced.
I guess the problems at the Baggies game last season had a big bearing on these restrictions.
-
Apparently There's going to thousands in the home ends now, thousands guaranteed

10% for the carling cup and then reduced on police advice

Tilton Shark on SHA has had his say on the DISGRACEFUL ticket allocation blues have received from da vile and wmp, acting in cahoots with each other, no doubt, the vile bastards:
And it took 10 days for this disgraceful allocation to be announced. Time to ignore any official dos and donts regarding this game, I hope lots of anger gets vented and then Vile and WMP realise just how much they have p1s5ed of Blues fans. How many will Spurs have up the Ars the following night?
Time to organise a huge meet in the middle of the city that night. We have been seriously wronged here.
Don't hold the meeting on Sherlock St, mate.
-
I can vouch for how strictly adhered to were the ticket sales for the Albion cup game. The only way noses will get tickets in home sections will be if Villa fans buy them for them.

Yes, so many of them do.
I think it's because the 'better firm' myth is the one thing they can hang on to that isn't so easily dismissed by cold, hard facts, even though the truth is they never manage to bring much of a firm to Villa Park, or cause much trouble.
Funny how 'soft' Villa always seem to manage a decent turn-out over there.
-
If they're bothered about the allocations, maybe they could have another 2500 waiting outside for when the first lot fuck off after an hour.

You buy a Villa Cash card.

we are only allowed to buy one each

Gonna be propa naughty!

I rarely visit the sha forum but went to have a look at their thread about allocation. It's comedy gold.
I can't decide which was funnier, the wannabe hoolies who are gonna smash everything in sight, the ones who think there will be thousands of them in the home ends, or the ones too stupid to work out why the allocation is lower and when bleating how unfair it is, are too fucking thick to remember that our allocation for the league game at the Sty was cut after the LC game there. They really are a bunch of simpletons with only a few showing the ability for cognitive thought.
-
Gary Rowett thinks this;
"Love it
8k Bluenoses pelting this out would be great. It'd go on for about 10 minutes, and overwhelm Villa Park"
There again they always multiply their attendances by a factor of 3.

Pelting one out?! I know they're a bunch of wankers but thats a step too far!

That thread over on SHA is fucking comedy gold, they even start discussing the coach trip, stereo typical fucktards. Cut the allocation to 1,500 next time we go to St Andrews? You already did that last time we played, thousands of blues in the Villa end? There may be around 20 max if any are lucky enough to have a Villa mate who for whatever reason isnt going, loads of agro in our end? Fuck off, they haven't said boo to a goose at our play since 2003, they really are a bunch of fucking keyboard warrior fucktards.

they actually think they can just register on our "systems" and get a ticket

Tickets for this game a going to sell WELL.
There won't be many left by the time it gets to the 'varied booking history' sale criteria anyway.
There will be some noses dotted around the home end as there always is and as there are always villa fans dotted around the sty when we play there.
It feels like this allocation announcement takes the sting out of this tie which im sure is the police's intention.

They havnt taken it well have they, there's 6 threads on the 1st page on SHA of them venting their anger towards Villa !
-
One of them rang up Tom Ross earlier moaning about the allocation and said 'they should limit their tickets to 30k, to make it fairer' or words to that effect. Where do you start with that?
-
Some brain dead freak put up the Villa 1 Noses 0 video from when we beat them in 1993, claiming it was the Coca Cola Cup semi final. When corrected that they never played us in the semi's in 93 he brushed it off as ''some time in the early 90's then''. Or you could try not at all mate, you never played us in the Semi's you plank. Sums them up, any game against us is massive for them, an early round Cup tie is the equivalent of a Semi or Final for them.
There's going to be a lot of tantrums from them when they get leathered.

That Gary Rowett guy has a Twitter site @VivaBrownie, evidently he's not only going to sit in the Holte because his mates have before, but he wants to sing songs about Petrov.

I can confirm that you're an extremely sad c*** who will believe everything you hear about your lot being in our end. Then you'll either win and moan that you all got the fuck kicked out of you, or lose and say you took a firm of 100/150/200/300/400/600/750.

The thing with this game which has showed a significant shift;and which obversely could affect us against the Albion more importantly just a few days before is that we're up for this. Us as fans have gloss over the Albion game just before and despite that we know what this game means to them and horrible it is losing to them, we want this. As fans we want this game and want to put those bastards away. On any derby night, and especially this one with nods elsewhere, on the night anything could happen. My 26yr old nephew who goes once in a very very blue moon is getting tickets for this one. i don't think they'll expect how much we want this game. The cnuts.

Thing is years ago we would have laid the welcome mat out like we did to United and the like all those years ago - you know how many tickets would you like and all that. This is our own way of saying fcuk em and quite right too.

I stupidly put that their 1-0 win over us in the 2nd leg of the league cup in '93 ish was in the semi final. No idea why I wrote that. I knew it wasn't the semis because we were absolutely shite in those days. Had a brain fart.
Like most noses, he knows more about us than he does about his 'own team'. We absolutely complete them; all of their successes or failures are measured against Villa's successes or failures. It is a sad, witless obsession for them that afflicts even the brightest of their fans.

2800 is more than generous, they generally take a few hundred to away matches so there are going to be plenty of fans in their end who don't normally follow them away. They will probably send quite a few back.
-
Just thinking about away fans in the Holte end when villa are playing
I presume the most would have been Rangers in the 'friendly'
I also remember West Ham used to get into the Holte in the 70's and cause a rumpus just as the teams came out, this happened more than once I'm thinking the same colours helped
Chelsea had a load in there once as well, but again it's over 30 years ago in the old standing Holte end pay at the turnstyle days
-
I've heard there are going to be 300 Zulus in the Holte End, can anyone confirm this rumour? I'm not taking my sister to this if this is true...
Sadly its true, you wont be able to move for golden bollocks and silly hats.

Maybe she won't let you carry on shagging her if you don't take her?

My missus and her (female) mate are going, I'm meeting them there as I'm working til half-five. There's a nose hooligan wannabe (aren't they all?) at her work who tried to tell her it's not safe that night. She just laughed and asked him what time the coaches are leaving.

I’ve been putting a bit of thought into this fixture.
Living in yam-yam land as I have for the last couple of years or so, I have been exposed to the bitterness of the stripeyfilth to such a degree that they have become the main focus on my footballing shitlist and I admit that I have played into their coal-stained tatter mitts with regard to that. Blues have slipped into the background as a complete non-entity since their relegation and not living in Solihull any more has obviously meant that I don’t bump into too many of the denizens of hades these days.
However, I can feel the old fire coming back a bit now. The old nonsense is back from the dogshitters;
• Villa fans aren’t from the city
• hundreds of Zulus in the Holte End, taking the piss and taking over when the ticketing criteria suggests this is an impossibility, there will be HUNDREDS there
• BCFC are the working-class team in Brum, when most of their support comes from Solihull and the surrounding towns (see first point for further evidence of cognitive dissonance from the village idiots)
• a horde of them getting lost trying to find Sherlock St, despite the claim that they’re the real brummies from the city
• talk of getting mobbed up in town and marching to VP like the police don’t read internet message boards and with the added inference that they would actually be able to find their own way there
• old men talking about “what *really* happened on Rocky Lane”, like anyone with even a bit of common sense would give a flying fuck about that
• having noted shitcunt Robbie Savage as a hero because he poked Olof Mellberg in the eye when he wasn’t looking (Mellberg got the last laugh in the 5-1 game, inbreds!)
• finally winning a second trophy in 136 years of mind-bogglingly shit football teams and curiously dropping the ‘historians’ taunt
• “we’ll be there” when they never fucking are since the Rover got closed down or something
• moaning about ticket allocations when they barely have a home following let alone an away one
• Stephen Carr’s wanker sign to the Witton End after losing to us yet again – he’s obviously a hero to these fuckwits now
• being shit enough to be sold by the current owners of West Ham, robbing us of the comedy trinity of Pornodwarf, Mr Tumnus and Manjaw
• being shit enough to be the only team in history to follow up that comedy farce with an even better comedy farce with their new hairdressing owner who is in gaol in Hong Kong over money laundering
• somehow continually escaping receivership season after season after the actions of said new owner
• making out they’re hardcases and then all getting official club coaches for the four-mile trip to VP (although to be fair to them they would probably get lost if they had to walk)
• comedy diary listing our trophies and admitting how awesome it is to have more than one shelf in the trophy cabinet
• knowing more about Villa teams of days gone by than we do because of their obsession with us….
…..anyone care to add to this? I’d forgotten about them until now, the twats. Let’s smash them.

The fact that most of their fans still don't actually know the words to the clubs anthem....... "We're off to Partizan........" Comical

We went on Holiday to Zante in September 2013. Went to the Welcome meeting and the Holiday Rep was a guy in his 50s, no hair, very few teeth and from Birmingham.
Villa played Newcastle on the Saturday or maybe the Sunday and it was on the TV at the Sports Bar. Got there half hour before Kick Off and there was the rep at the bar getting pissed wearing his Blues Top.
There were various TV's so I picked one as far away from him as possible. I could still hear him shouting "Villa Scum" when the Teams came out and celebrating Wildly when Newcastle scored.
Obviously he was there on his own.

May I add (in my other guise) the sheer overwhelming joy of the play off semi- final when Beelzelbub tried to claim that the penalties shoukd have been taken th the half demolished Town End and the ensuing delight as Noe after Nose after Nose stepped up and missed the spot kicks. The smug satisifaction of a 92 minute free kick from Ross Wallace to deny them the championship title and a special mention for Barry Fry who gave endless pleasure to all for his Nose related antics.
That said and I know there are different views on this, but I love the atmosphere at these games. I will never forget the "they're coming uo they're going down" chant - astonishingly loud! Savage- fucking weasel, always will be. Altogether now "They're coming up......"
-
Christ, can't a season ticket holder express concern?
Nose alert. To be fair the disguise is cunning - the ability to type.
Not sure about the ability to type, looks like he typed the Hendrie4lyf bit with his massive forehead.

There are about half-a-dozen threads about us just on the front page of that site - good going considering there seems to be about ten people on there. And it's their busiest one apparently.
All that stuff about being from the city... a lot of my mates from Chelmsley in Solihull say it with irony, some of the brain-donors on there seem to actually believe it.
I wonder if the ones who visit here ever notice or wonder about how much better at spelling and grammar we are? Looking objectively it's very noticeable. I suppose the ones capable of seeing it put it down to our private education.
I love that they seem to have annointed the Gary Rowett character as the clever one, although I suppose it's all relative. A bit like them saying we're not a big club. Fair enough, they're bound to say that - but relative to them? Some of the ones I know think THEY'RE a big club! No, really.
They don't mention the coaches much. Fair enough, neither would I.
They are, without doubt, the funniest local rivals any club in any city could be blessed with. But only when they don't mean to be.
-

Good post Stu. You forget to mention their hero, the fuckwit Paul Tait.
Are you sure you spelt his surname right? I think the two T's are in the right place.

The fuckers are all over FB jibbing about their low allocation.
But here's the latest, despite their lower allocation they will still out sing us!
Hmmmmmmmmmmm, I wonder what they will be singing?!!
-
If both clubs want higher ticket allocations at these games it would be a start if they stopped acting like bellends.
The Heathens could make a start by not smashing up the toilets, for once.
-
The OS states that the allocation was arrived at after discussion with the Football League and BCFC, so even their own club seems to be fully aware of their fans' potential to be twats of the highest order, given the chance.

I think that's the point. There won't be a replay because there can't be one. Just remember the intelligence level of what we are dealing with. I'm sure we had to have a supply of crayons on the table for them use to sign any deal.

Fair point. I'm glad they've got the appropriate allocation, putting them in the north upper above the home fans , nah no thanks. Keep them penned in the corner of the Witton for their own safety as much as anything.

Don't Old Sils teams - definitely the rugby teams - play in claret and blue? Bet that grates on them a bit.

Like you I'd forgotten about them. It's a good post Stu but I'm still struggling to remember them.
Who?
-
Maybe its because I've had a drink but the one thing I will say about that lot, very much like us, is that they know how to celebrate a goal properly, I think its a brummie trait in that we just appreciate it more than others do, I love watching goal celebrations back on TV and us and them do it better than most. In fact this derby is vastly under rated because were from an unfashionable city, but no other rivalry in football as brought as much talking points, good, bad and downright fucking ridiculous than what this has over the years, I can't fucking wait now!

Sat down in my local last night while San Marino v England where playing and the score was 0-6. Me "bit of a mismatch this?" Local nose 1 " yeah, shit game" Me "it'll be like this on the 22nd" Local nose 2 "when was the last time you won anything, you vile bastards, etc, etc, etc"
Local nose 1 "2,800 tickets? " Me "if iwe were playing a big club they'd probably get more"
And reel them in. 😃

I was out yesterday and my mate was moaning about their allocation. I said to him 'How big do you think our coach park is?'

I think the latest thread asking if anyone's got any songs they can sing about Petrov - and the glee in which it's been contributed to - just about sums them up.

So desperate to be noticed for something, it's there one chance.

I like the fact their planning an applause for Zigic in the 19th minute, him milking 50/60k a week off them when they were financially fucked is a big factor too why they're playing the likes of Bolton and MK Dons in front of 12k, if anything we should be encouraging the applause.

Obviously he was there on his own.
Was he a Thomson rep? Was his name Mick/Mike?
Could be the same rep we had in Rhodes three years ago and again this August
Yes he is a bit of a divvy but I kind of felt sorry for him - the way in which he mentioned he was a blue nose in virtually every conversation he held with a client or at the "welcome party"
He was so easy to put down and he often belittled himself without realising he was doing it.
Everytime I saw him I referred to him as a "Heathen" - he hadn`t got a clue why I was calling him that which all added to his "charm"
I missed the quiz night he organised but was told by a Spurs fan I met at the hotel that he managed to get a Small Heath Alliance related question in the quiz and yes you guessed it ...... he wore his Blose shirt whilst acting as quiz master.
The strangest place I have ever seen a Heathen in a Blose shirt was Oswiecim (Auschwitz) - he was working as a car park attendent at the former concentration camp - amazingly this was "outdone" by the sight of a Polish "entrepreneur" selling hot dogs outside the former concentration camp - struck me as somewhat insensitive

Holte End upper - a third from the back
North stand lower - all standing

Does my brother still count as a Villa Cash member if he's not a season ticket holder but was one last year?
-
Only if he's renewed his VC card, I think.
-
If he doesn't have a ST, he will need to have bought a Villa Cash card this season.
-
Pretty stupid my girlfriend can't get one for ages even though she's been to every home game so far this season and has an Albion ticket. Why are they prioritising those who bought match tickets last year ahead of those who have attended this year?
I could get her a Villa Cash card but I've no idea what her booking history is as the website doesn't allow her to log on and there's no way of getting through on the phone.
-
I couldn't get through on the phone to book my ticket today. And the queues were silly at the New St shop.
-
Apparently there are no booking fees if you buy online for this game, so might be an idea to do that?
-
Plan B, can you buy a Villa Cash card at the same time as buying a ticket or are only pre-existing VC members eligible?
-
Resident Bluenose at work (your stereotypical nose; looks like Les Battersby and talks bollocks) told me today that 600 Blues fans will be in the Holte. I laughed and gave it the old 'course they are sweetheart'. He ensured me it was true and that he was getting a ticket himself in the away end, this despite him having not attended a game since about 1978, around the same amount of time since his gums saw any teeth. I remember them giving it all this before the infamous 03/03/03 game. I was in the Upper Holte that night and saw Villa on Villa scuffles throughout as anyone looking or acting a bit strange was accused of being a nose. I remember a couple of them jumping up in the upper Witton thinking they could take the piss, lets just say they're probably still tending to their head wounds twelve years on. I think it will be the same this time, any chance or shot by them will have our fans surveying their block for potential noses. I don't profess to be a hooligan, but anyone in the know knows Blues never do anything at VP. They thought they could take liberties on that first Premier League visit and came unstuck big time.
Hope it sells out as all we'll hear is them telling us we should have given them more tickets blah blah blah. Think it will be about 38k though myself.
(By the way, long time reader of the board, finally decided to sign up!)
-
Plan B, can you buy a Villa Cash card at the same time as buying a ticket or are only pre-existing VC members eligible?
I genuinely don't know. You probably can in person, for someone that already has a BH as I doubt they will accept new members at the moment. No idea how it would work trying to do it online though.
-
I've had a look online. I reckon I'd have more chance of hacking into The Pentagon's weapon system than getting a ticket for a non-season ticket holder on there.
I might just get my Dad to phone them, he'll love that.
-
I just went to buy a ticket online and then found out it's tomorrow I can buy, not today. What a twonk I am!
Never booked online as booking fees annoy me so always pay cash in the shop, but as they are apparently waived for this game was going to do it to make life easier. I'm sure something will go wrong though and make it much more difficult than it should be.
-
Top three threads on their SHA forum right now are all about the ticket allocation. Let it go chaps. You've got to laugh, they took about 300 to Burnley earlier this season.
Have you seen that forum? It looks like a 10 year old has designed it.
-
Registered Mr Amfy as a Villa Cash member on Saturday when I got mine & Jane's tickets. He had a good enough booking history for a cup final ticket in the end last year, but would have been well down the pecking order for this without it. Now, I can get his ticket tomorrow and hopefully not too far away from us. I can't believe it is actually £20 to register - that is loads!

Top three threads on their SHA forum right now are all about the ticket allocation. Let it go chaps. You've got to laugh, they took about 300 to Burnley earlier this season.
Have you seen that forum? It looks like a 10 year old has designed it.
i just had a look and someone reckons they had hundreds in the holte in 20033
unbelievable
-
You get £10 loaded on it though, so it's really a tenner.
Buy one before a certain date and it's £10 with £5 loaded on.

If they did they were too shit scared to say a word.
But in reality we know there were at most a few dozen dotted around the ground. Most of them smart enough to keep quiet. Unlike the bloke who was bounced down the Upper Witton.
-
Pretty stupid my girlfriend can't get one for ages even though she's been to every home game so far this season and has an Albion ticket. Why are they prioritising those who bought match tickets last year ahead of those who have attended this year?
I could get her a Villa Cash card but I've no idea what her booking history is as the website doesn't allow her to log on and there's no way of getting through on the phone.
We've only had 3 home games (2 league, 1 cup plus Baggies on sale) so far this season, so it makes sense to prioritise last seasons booking history and the criteria ensures Noses can't get tickets. If your gf has a client ref then she needs to create an online account, and any booking history will be automatically assigned if the tickets were registered to her client ref.

definately
always going to be a few about, i saw none in the upper holte, know that a couple of them got bounced down the stairs in the upper doug
for all their crying about their allocation they seem unable to grasp that their club agreed to it lol
-
I know it's been said before but we only got 1600 last time at there place and that was a quarter final, so I don't really know what they are banging on about
I personally would be happy to give them the full monty whatever that is about 4k I suspect,
But that's me I like a lively atmosphere
my day for tickets is also tomorrow I'm hoping for a couple in the lower north
-
We had a bigger than normal allocation for the QF. Our allocation was cut to 1500 for the league game after that.

Cheers. I dunno her client reference though!
I'm not saying last year's games shouldn't count but this year's should do. Assuming they were purchased before the Blose draw to prevent the problem you suggested. At present someone who went to three out of our twenty-odd home games gets preference over someone who has tickets for four of our first four home games this year.
Surely they could've based it on a combined total, would've made more sense?
-
I'm pretty sure that this early in the season booking history is always based on the previous season.

Saw their forum comedian and oracle 'Gary Rowett' claim his mate and his mate's 'entourage' were in a big group in the Holte for that game and spent the whole game shouting Blues on and shouting for Stan Lazaridis to skin the full back. Of course according to the 'entourage' our fans supposedly stood by them just looked at them all game and were too scared to say anything. The funny thing is they actually believe the things they come out with.
-
What a load of shite. Apart from their gullible internet hoolies, do they really think anyone believes such guff?
-
If anybody sits in the Holte, can we get a flag sorted? They would all think they are unveiling and moving round a Villa flag.
How funny would it be if we got a Villa flag with a huge shite in the middle of it and nobody knew.
jesus they really are fucking mad

You have to forgive their excitement. They're absolutely delirious that's they're actually playing us in a competitive match. They're so small time, bless 'em.

The only thing I can suggest at the moment is spend a few minutes getting your client refs and online registration sorted. Its not looking good for anyone who didn't attend any games last season.
-
She did, not sure how many were registered against her though. Could use my brother's booking come to think of it. I'll most likely be fine moaning about nothing!
-
She should be okay with "varied history" i'd have thought. Has she done any games on her ref before this season?

Just read that, on their new thread entitled 'Sitting in the Vile end'. They're all trying to outdo each other with their fantasy tales of sitting in our end. Apparantly there were hundreds of them in the upper North in 03, I'd love to know how they know this. What I don't get about their fascination of sitting in our end is they hate us and our ground so why would you pay money to sit in our end? I wouldn't go in their sheds at the Sty if someone paid me. If I couldn't get a ticket in our end I'd watch it in the pub.
-

I think at least Blackpool and Bournemouth were in her name. Maybe some other games towards the end of the season. Possibly Burnley. She likes matches against teams that start with B!
Yeah, we'll probably be fine.
-
I reckon there's still some of them in the Lower North that are too scared to leave the ground. Mob handed in the home ends my arse.
-
The Noses averaged 1500 away from home last season, what are they bleating about by getting almost double their typical away following as an allocation?
The "we will be in the Holte" bravado has a ring of 2003 to it as well.
-
They couldn't wait to leave during the 5-1 game. They're partisan and keep right on, but they all fecked off after an hour that day. I was right by them in the lower North that day and their support was Blues all day. Funny how thousands of home seats occupied by noses didnt become empty at 4-0 and 5-1.
-
Any dogshitters that do find themselves in the home end and get rumbled really are asking for trouble. I'm not condoning it, but they really do deserve all they get and they can't complain if or when it happens.
-
There's more chance of Greg being at VP than there is of a load of them lot in the home ends. They really are deluded sad sacks.

Had a look at their message board earlier and I lost count of the amount of times I saw posts talking of how they're gonna smash the place up, kick shit out of Villa fans etc etc, and not a word from the mods over there. It just about sums up the difference between our clubs and our fan bases.
They are truly a rotten little club.
-

This is it. They're giving it the big one now, as they did before 03/03/03, yet only one or two were actually stupid enough to jump up and down. The fact one of the them in the Upper Witton was quite literally kicked out of the ground, bouncing down and off concrete steps on his way gets in the way of their new found Jackanory tales.
Villa Park and around the ground was as evil a place that night as you could imagine. The Noses have been coming on 20 plus coaches ever since.
-
All piss taking etc aside, I was in the Lower Holte that night and if any had made themselves known i'd have genuinely feared for their safety, it was fucking evil. Even some of the coppers in the LH were looking more than a little uneasy. I have never known so many 'normal' Villa fans who were up for it that night.
-
By that I mean, I don't 'just' mean taking a slap or two, but feared they would have taken a real brutal beating.

I have a great photo that perfectly illustrates your point, I'll put it when I get my laptop out.
-
The most evil atmosphere I've ever witnessed at a football ground, and come to think of it, anywhere else. I doubt we'll ever see anything like that again, gladly.
-
The bloke who was bounced out the Upper Witton must still have the bruises. It's the most toxic atmosphere I've ever known at a game in 25 years, including anything we've put up with at their place.
Walking to the ground with three choppers over the park like something out of Apocalypse Now set the tone.
-
The team we had were hardly the most up for it bunch we've ever assembled, yet they got sucked into it and went batshit.
-
Surely all of their posturing and boasting about getting our end is adding to what will be a nasty atmosphere? In doing so they're actively encouraging anyone being outed to get a shoeing. They must realise that and accept the consequences.
-

I've always said the same. Fellow season ticket holders around me who were usually 'normal' fans were frothing at the mouth looking for anyone who might be Blues. Walking to the ground that night was something I've never experienced at any other ground before or since. The sound of the police dogs, the helicopter, as soon as you got near the ground you could just sense it and feel it.
-
As soon as I got off the bus you could just tell that night was different. It was like you could smell the hate and violence in the air. I've been going to games for 40 years and seen some real sickening violence, especially as a nipper in the 70s/early 80s, real nasty stuff that scared the shit out of me and was very upsetting to see. But i've never felt an atmosphere like that night.
-
Even the usually mild mannered hip flask swigging Trinity Rd supporters were belting out ''your the shit of Birmingham''.

I was in Bayswater that night and the mood was coming through the TV airwaves into the pub. Was there much actual violence though or was it all pent up atmosphere ?

This.
I've always thought of it as the very definition of an electric atmosphere - the place was crackling with pure hate.
-
I think with £20 and £25 tickets there will be a lot of lads attending. £40+ for league games puts a lot of old school blokes off, my old man for instance. Add in the fact its a night game and we haven't played them for nearly five years and the trouble element could be the worst since that 03 game.

i remember a load of villa going round the lower DE towards the end
and coming out the holte at full time to be met by riot cops with shields and truncheons ready
and they were all along the road from villa park to the adventurers

The spelling and grammar are dreadful in that. The main thrust however appears to be a convoluted set of reasons why their allocation isn't fair.
These include their being trouble at the ground if they aren't given more and the fact they gave other clubs big allocations on the past because they can't sell the tickets themselves.
-
There is talk of them bringing a massive flag. I thought they only brought that out to cover up the empty seats. The estimates of how many of them will be in the Holte is going up faster by the day than the Greek national debt and UKIP's projected immigration figures put together.

"This leads me to another point that could prove a thorn in Villas and the WMP’s thinking"
How do you put a thorn in a thought? And precisely what are going to be the consequences of this outrage, for either Villa or WMP?
-
Was in North Stand top tier for the 2-2, when Stern John scored in injury time. There was at least 200 Blues fans dotted around the stand that Sunday. You could see little pockets of away fans leap to their feet and once the air, when that equaliser went in. Saw a couple get chucked out after we scored our first, as they'd been grassed up. Vilers did nothing, from what I saw, to make it an unpleasant or intimidating experience for Blues fans. The Hole Tenders might be less tolerant, and so they should be.
;D Bless them.
Really hope the whole of VP is up for this one, Witton and Trinity included. All i've read from them is how they're going to come and take the piss and outsing us all game.
-
I always like singing 'you've only come to see The Villa'. It really winds them up. Bless.
-
Just got Mr amf's tickets from the ticket office. They are being issued with a warning note that your purchasing priveliges will be suspended indefinitely if they find an away fan in a home area with a ticket you have bought them.
Also - back in 2003 we used to let ST holders buy 6 extra tickets for any game. For this game it is one per reference. Every home ticket holder has to have a booking history.
They really won't be finding our tickets very easy to come by. The odd one of them sitting on her hands maybe - an invasion, definitely not.

Please don't let their collective pathetic small-man-syndrome wet dreams wind you up. My mate stood outside the away end that day spitting on every b-loser who passed him on the way out. Being a big, intimidating black man that all of their hooligan hierarchy are frightened to death of, nobody lifted a finger to stop him until he was arrested.
-
I have already had texts from three people who I had presumed to be dead for the last three years. And yes, each one ended with a SOTV. I would be staggered if any of them have been to a game so far this season.

Anyone managed to get through on the phone today?

I assumed he'd copied that from 'elsewhere'.
-
I was sat next to a Blues fan in the North when Stern John equalised, he got a good few slaps from well wishers on his way out.
-
These Noses who are claiming to have sat in home ends in the past aren't doing their fellow Blues fans any favours. Noses tend to think that we're all soft as shite, and they're the ultimate hooligan firm. Those of them (especially younger lads) who buy into this may wrongly underestimate the consequences of sitting in the Holte, or anywhere for that matter. I just hope that no one gets really seriously hurt, because it's distinctly possible given the severity of the atmosphere. They really won't know what's hit them.
-
A Nose I worked with at the time got tickets for him and his mate in the North Stand upper for 03/03/03. Before the game he was giving it loads about how they were gonna take the piss etc.
After the game he admitted they'd left and gone home at half time (whilst the game was goalless so he missed their goals) as they were genuinely fearful for their safety. They'd done nothing to give themselves away but said the stares they were getting from some of our older boys meant that they thought they were on to them.
-
It goes round in cycles.
Stage 1: As SHA are shite, its likely several years will have passed since they were lucky enough to play us. They may have heard stories of how their "super firm" in the 80s smashed up Weston Super-Mare or maybe some 3rd division outfit. This time and these stories allows the breeding of the following attitude. "Vilers are all bobble hat wearers! We and the 10,000 strong Zulu ultimate firm can do what we want!".
Stage 2: Like every home game across the country, a few away fans get in the home end. Fueled by the above cocktail of nonsense, they make themselves known.
Stage 3: Get a kicking.
Stage 4: Noses come to B6 for the next 5 or 6 years on 30 odd coaches, causing traffic chaos at Pump/Matalan island while they're escorted through.
Stage 5; Bang on the windows shouting "Zooooolooooo [sic]"
Stage 6: After enough time has past, go back to stage 1.

I don't think that fence is high enough though.
9,000 season ticket holders I am surprised it is that many.

Maybe they have thousands wanting to claim asylum?
-
Why would you ever buy a season ticket there anyway. They never, ever sell out and if you wait a few games you'll be able to buy a ticket for £1 to £5 anyway when they become desperate to get 18k at the Sty.
Even when they go away there's enough room to lie across the seats in the away end if you wanted.

Why would you buy a season ticket there? They're fucking shit. End of.

Amusing how their proposal suggests they have the North Stand Lower, which only houses 3k fans anyway. They really are thick.

I'm not entirely sure what the fence does. Access to upper and lower tiers of the Witton Lane are in more or less the same spot. Equally I can't really understand why they can't have the normal away allocation (although I quite enjoy their reaction!)
Doh! - just worked out they are having the upper and lower tiers and want lower North Stand - jeez that's a recipe for disaster!

Just in case anyone else gets this problem...only way we could resolve this was by buying our tickets individually which suggests the online ticket office isn't working correctly. Oh well...both got tickets now and looking forward to the game.

So as the Police are saying this is a villa decision then they are admitting they are a small club who can only cope with 2800 away fans, so will this 2800 apply to Man Utd, Liverpool, Man City, Chelsea, Spurs and WBA when they attend this season?
Must be one reason they lost the FA Cup semi-finals if they can’t segregate 2×20,000.
Villa couldn’t even control their own fans vs WBA last season and stop them running onto the pitch and now want to blame Blues for their own incompetence.
The Football League & FA are also inept as they let the biased villa decision to reduce the away attendance to give their own team a greater chance of winning, i call that cheating, when the home club dictates circumstances in a cup game and the Fooball League abandoned their duty to fairness and professionalism.
It shows villa, the Poilce and the City Council are small minded and not capable of hosting major football games, no wonder the media and football in general pass this city by when it is so poor at running football in the area.
Blues used to have the lower north stand in the eighties when violence was far worse than today, yet villa and the Police say they can’t cope, more like incompetence.

Whilst it may seem harsh that the ticket allocation is low, I think you are totally missing the point regarding the reasoning for it. It has barely anything to do with last seasons FA Cup Quarter Final although admittedly those scenes won’t have helped. This decision has been reached due to the ridiculous scenes at the end of the last Blues Villa game at The Sty in 2010. After that game, you yourselves reduced Villa’s allocation to 1,500 for the league game in the following January which obviously worked as there were no subsequent violent scenes.
In addition, reference your point about the allocation for Liverpool, Citeh, Spurs, Chelsea, yes the allocation will be 2,800 – that is the normal league allocation we give to all visiting supporters so those will be no different.

The sty? If you’re gonna make comments on a BCFC web site then have some respect.
We gave your lot 4000 tickets for the last cup game at St Andrews which is around 13% of our capacity, In the league game that followed we had no say in the amount of tickets you got as that was down to the police NOT us, so get your facts straight. The league rules state that 10% of capacity should be given to away supporters in a cup game, that is what this piece is about. KRO

Oh and the reason we ‘lost’ the FA Cup Semi Final as you put it was down to the pure greed and needs of the FA who have a new stadium to pay for, again nothing to do with crowd control issues. But then I suspect you knew that.

Chris G,
You have answered your own complaint. You said that you had no say in the 1500 allocation. It was a direct response to the trouble in the December game and agreed between the clubs and the police. This 2,800 allocation is exactly the same, a direct response to the trouble mainly retards caused including flares thrown in the last cup and also significantly, night game. If fans had behaved themselves and not been total nobs giving it the big one then this wouldn’t be happening. Otherwise why else do you think you are not being given 4,200 – which incidentally is not an automatic entitlement if there are fears over crowd safety – which let’s face it for a night game when loads are going to be pissed up looking for trouble, there are.

Kippax, you absolutely nailed the point about why we had a dramatically reduced allocation for the league game there, and how the circumstances here are identical - apart from them getting nearly double what we had - yet they still don't get it.

If they bring their normal 30 coaches, that will be 30, multiplied by 52 seats per coach, by £11.00, which should make them £17160.00 gross. Put that on top of what they'll take from gate receipts of 42,200 at £30.00 a go and we're probably keeping them in business for another season.

http://madeinbrumfanzine.com/2015/09/08/blues-v-villa-ticket-allocation-proposal/?
And the hits just keep on coming.......
To be fair at least they came up with a solution that was a bit more thought out dan fousands of dem in da Holt.
would the cost of erecting the fencing, the additional policing costs and removing the fencing be borne fully by blues in the event of it happening? The cunning plan is silent on that aspect.
-
Just so we are clear on why our allocation was reduced last time out.
ASTON VILLA are to appeal to decision to slash the number of tickets they have been given for the next Second City Derby at Birmingham City following trouble which marred the last clash at St Andrew's.
Villa have confirmed they have received 1,500 tickets for the upcoming clash on Sunday, January 16. That compares with more than 3,000 given to Manchester United for their trip to St Andrew's tonight.
The decision has been made by Birmingham City Council's Safety Advisory Group, with Villa saying it thought the decision was based on events are the Carling Cup match between the two sides last month.
A pitch invasion followed Blues victory against Villa, with flares thrown during the standoff. Video footage later emerged of fans vandalising toilets inside the ground.
A spokesman for Villa said: "The club is petitioning the Safety Advisory Group, Birmingham City and the Premier League to secure an increase in our ticket allocation which we believe to be fair and indicative of the usual good behaviour of our fans."
Angry scenes outside the ground also followed the November game.
There was also trouble following the Premier League fixture between the two clubs at Villa Park on October 31st. Nine men, including a chef who works at Birmingham City, have appeared in court in connection with that fixture.
-
I love the bit about a Chef who works for them got involved. Reminds me of Gary Whackett on Mike Bassett appearing on the TV news scrapping the night before a game.
-
Why would you buy a season ticket there? They're fucking shit. End of.
Tried saying something to the wife once and was called pathetic and childish.

Has anyone in the cup scheme had their money taken out for this game yet?
I haven't, which is strange as they normally take the cash at the soonest opportunity after a home cup draw.
Hasn't gone out of mine yet either - not really worried yet as still 2 weeks to go. May chase up if still not gone at end of this week.
£30 gone from mine, taken on 3rd Sept.

Just read the thread with lots of posts about their allocation. They are missing some really fundamental points.
Putting aside the morons who will kick the shit out of anyone in the wrong colours, and the great many more who have already identified themselves as causing criminal damage to the toilets, they can't seem to get past their allocation being "cut" on account of us misbehaving against the Bog Eyes.
Not only is it untrue, nor were we the protagonists pitched as by the BBC, but I have had it to my limits with hearing how unfair their allocation is and how they should cut ours down next time.
You won't be playing us again for a long time and your allocation is a lot more than we git for the last game. It doesn't take much fucking research.
I had the Noses down for at least trying to back up their arguments, even if they do it terribly. It is Olbiyunesque "tay fair" based on what I read.

Not sure if anyone else has done the maths but by my reckoning (on my Citizen SDC-4310 calculator for the number crunchers out there) 2,800 out of 42,682 represents a larger percentage allocation than 1,500 from 30,016 (using the capacity stated on the Wikipedia pages for each ground), 6.56% against 5% respectively so there really is very little cause for complaint on their part.
-
Didn't we argue the toss with them and were given an extra 300 tickets?
-
Look at it in terms of their last League Cup match attendance, which was 9,275 at home to Gillingham. 2,800 is approximately 30 per cent of that attendance - 30 fucking per cent - so they really have nothing to complain about at all. The tramps.

They can't complain about the chip on (both) shoulders/complex/obsession with us because without that they have nothing. One cup draw against us and their support appears to have temporarily trebled.

If we had been offered 10,000 or so for the Cup Final in May we'd all be up in arms as well about it, so I can sympathise with them to some degree. It's their Cup Final and they get less than 3,000 tickets, no wonder they are gutted, there's 12,000 or so of them who are going to miss their sole purpose for existing. Shame really.

I had the 'we've won a cup more recently than you have' line thrown at me last night. I replied that surely that is just as you would expect seeing as they are the biggest club in the city. Totally threw him. I always find noses think of what they think is a clever remark but never have a back up one in the event of you actually answering them back.

As soon as I got off the bus you could just tell that night was different. It was like you could smell the hate and violence in the air. I've been going to games for 40 years and seen some real sickening violence, especially as a nipper in the 70s/early 80s, real nasty stuff that scared the shit out of me and was very upsetting to see. But i've never felt an atmosphere like that night.
This.
I've always thought of it as the very definition of an electric atmosphere - the place was crackling with pure hate.
And this is what sets our derbies against the Albion aside. Some may dislike them, some may not but games against them are never anywhere close to the feeling of nasty brutal hatred that can be felt at these games from start to finish.
let them talk the talk because they know they won't do jack shit on the night unless they can surround a couple of 15 year-olds with a mob of 10 or so and give them a slap. Or, of course bravely wonder around town having a go at individuals. Bring the fuckers on. Its about time we had this night. 03 was theirs and fair dues it was horrible to endure but that was theirs. The build up to this feels closer to that night more than any game since and there is a real sense of us wanting this big time. And I mean big time.

As soon as I got off the bus you could just tell that night was different. It was like you could smell the hate and violence in the air. I've been going to games for 40 years and seen some real sickening violence, especially as a nipper in the 70s/early 80s, real nasty stuff that scared the shit out of me and was very upsetting to see. But i've never felt an atmosphere like that night.
This.
I've always thought of it as the very definition of an electric atmosphere - the place was crackling with pure hate.
And this is what sets our derbies against the Albion aside. Some may dislike them, some may not but games against them are never anywhere close to the feeling of nasty brutal hatred that can be felt at these games from start to finish.
let them talk the talk because they know they won't do jack shit on the night unless they can surround a couple of 15 year-olds with a mob of 10 or so and give them a slap. Or, of course bravely wonder around town having a go at individuals. Bring the fuckers on. Its about time we had this night. 03 was theirs and fair dues it was horrible to endure but that was theirs. The build up to this feels closer to that night more than any game since and there is a real sense of us wanting this big time. And I mean big time.
Very much this. All my family, mates and any other Villa fans I've spoken to are bang up for this. Nobody is even mentioning the Albion and that game has gone by the wayside which could be to our detriment as the crowd won't be as up for that game now.
Popped over to SHA forum again whilst bored at work, apparantly they have a private forum on there with 'loads of tickets in the Villa ends' being offered. A private forum for who? There's only ten people on there.

'do the shake and vac and put the freshness back'

Disagree. The 333 monkey came off our back in the 5-1 game. This game is just lower league cannon fodder talking big before being despatched. With added allocation complaints.

I don't know if it's been mentioned previously, but I've always thought that Blues, Blues always lose because they play in ballet shoes. Do any other readers share my view?
hahaha!
I use to sing that when i was a very wee sprout, but assumed me and my cousin had made it up
Where did that ever come from?
The early work of Lennon and McCartney I believe

So people who are afraid of getting public transport to the game in case they bump into some nasty Villa fans are gonna watch the game sitting in the middle of thirteen thousand of us?
Okay then.

Does anyone know if you can pick a different seat to your ST seat if you're buying a ticket for this?
-
Speaking of which, can season ticket holders buy tickets for people with no booking history for last season? My wife and her mate want tickets. (They're both Villa fans).

Is that not what 'variable booking history' is for? Fans who might not have gone last season, but do have a client ref and a booking history for other seasons?

Have they got any booking history? If they have they can try next week Tuesday I think but they have to buy there own
-
You could choose to move anyway, just in case you need this info for future reference. My ST is Lower Holte but I've relocated to Upper Holte as it was the only was for me to sit with my GF.
You can relocate your ST for league games too, they issue a free exchange ticket for the game and deactivate your ST.

We've just had two kids who are now three and five. Apart from Notts County the other week and Rotherham a couple of years ago, (paid on the gate for both games) she hasn't been for years. It's her mate's first ever game if she comes.
Ta for the reply hipkiss, and you spangly.

I think "variable" just means different matches against various opposition rather than in different seasons.
So if you'd only ever bought tickets for three Villa matches, all at home to Man U, then phoned up for more Villa v Man U tickets they might assume you were a glory-hunting tossbag rather than a Villa fan.
I imagine they'll be fine if they've been to games this season but not last season so long as it was against more than one opponent.
This is guesswork, admittedly.
-
Just read your subsequent post. I reckon paid on the gate could be a problem unless they made a note of their name, address and contact details on the computer.
-
It's a combination of all that. Variable as in different matches against various opposition over however many seasons.

To be honest you may struggle mate.....Does your wife have the ticket stub from the Notts County game?

Well what I meant was, buying a different seat out of choice as a lad I know was getting me one off his ST but I wanted to sit somewhere else in the ground. Anyway irrelevant now cos he is now going. I've got booking history for 2+ games last season, am I basically fucked for this?

I'd imagine you'd probably struggle then, unless you know someone else with an unused client ref to borrow off.

I'd say Monday's the day for you then, id be shocked if it sells out before then. Or even sells out at all tbh, I'm expecting spare seats in the upper trinity for this.

You're in your 40s. Say you live for another 40 years or so and that we play roughly 50 games a season that'll be 40x50. By my reckoning that'll be £2000. Not a fortune but surely enough for a few of us to get a whip round and ensure the Villa's successful future.
-
Were all paying him a pound per match, not just a pound over all per match.

As his newly appointed agent, Legion meant £1 each.

Imagine if somebody was paying b-losers not to go to games. It would make the 2008 crash look like somebody missing a catalogue payment.

Careful, that's their latest excuse.
It's a modern twist on the old "I wouldn't go there if you paid me."
"I'm not going there because someone's paid me not to."
-
maybe a good time to recall the incident in the middle tier of the trinity just after the filth scored, a couple of hefty b losers sitting about 10 rows behind me could not contain there enthusiasm and thief celebrations caused a level of anguish to the loyal brethren around them who were suggesting very politely that they may like to leave the vicinity of the home support. these 2 portly pigs just stood there with arms folded to communicate we are not moving even though the encouragement to depart became more polite and louder.Unfortunately for them a regular Burberry cap adorned fellow Villain had his attention drawn to this rather unsightly spectacle and took it upon himself to take decisive action. Mr Burberry sprinted up the stairs and threw himself superman style with fist clenched at the face of one of the culprits , landing a direct hit, causing said mouth breather to hit the deck like a sack of spuds. This seemed to be the spark that caused several other Villains to render their own form of justice before stewards and police were able to offer assistance to the now downed scum bags.Obviously I took no pleasure in watching this spectacle and hoped for a speedy recovery to those poor chaps that had to endure sitting so close to those great unwashed.
-
There was also the shennanigans of Blosers in a box in the Trinity 'larging it' Unfortunately for them numerous Villa fans climbed into said box and started chasing them. I gather they ended up hiding in the toilets while police and stewards were prevented from rescuing them.

Well i think we need to re-open it. These are the REAL hot topics we're discussing.

And I can confirm there is no booking fee if you order online, which is nice.
and if you buy tickets for another match or 2 at the same time
there is still no booking fee

Hand on how many times have AVFC won the League Cup? More than once ....Small heath coach had to call in at IKEA for a cabinet on its way back ......
Anyway its a no win game for us ...expected to win against LOWER league opposition for who its their game of the season or should we say 5 seasons lol

Not many tickets been sold in the first week? Holte looks very sparse on the online ticketing.

Calling Blues Small Heath is not detrimental i believe that within the cauldron of St Andrews Blues sing it themselves in fact.
As for the ticket situation I'm sure it will improve and the away contingent shall enjoy singing their anthems towards their fellows in the away end.

Have you ever stopped to read what we are talking about? It isn't your club per se, the extraordinary amount of nonsense that spews forth from your fans every time we play you. You could set your watch by it.
Imaginary occasions where you "took the Holte"
How thousands of you sit in our stands
The nonsensical thing about carrying the name of the city, like we would want to trade names
The excitable puppy routine about what the Zulus will do
The even more excitable puppy stuff about special songs for the occasion or unveiling flags in our end
The accusation that we blather on about our history when in the same conversation you can't stop talking about winning a pot more recently than us
The fact that some terrible injustice or other has been done to you. This time the allocation of tickets.
Hearing how all Villa fans don't live in Birmingham but then you being bemused that these people who aren't from Birmingham might get on a Supporters coach to a game at your ground.
Neatly forgetting that most of your fans, all from Birmingham of course because everyone in Birmingham is a nose, get, erm, coaches to Villa Park.
Having people camping out overnight to secure tickets and others offering hundreds of pounds just to be at.... a 3rd round game in the League Cup.
The constant nonsense about being "Bigga dan da villa"
Having people at work I haven't spoken to in years feel the need to try and "wind me up" because "we is da bloos, we ate the vile"
The incessant idiots signing up to our message boards to tell us we are obsessed with you. There us a pretty fatal flaw in that argument but it is lost on you.
But worst of all is the fact it seems like the very worst kind of groundhog day. That we have to listen to the same old shite every fucking time we play you. And God forbid you should beat us because, despite us being historians and you bearing the name of the city and being ever such a huge club, we wouldn't hear the last of it from you until man colonised Mars.
And this from a club who when they did win that cup they like to tell us historians about, who took half of Birmingham to Brugge with the other half doing the Leyland Daft final, despite all that magnificent support and having every person in a city of more than a million follow them, had their cup final tickets go to general sale. Demanded a giant San Giro was built because those million would be wanting to watch matches when you were "bigga dan da villa" and whose average home attendance would fit in the Holte with room to spare, so you think it is any surprise we find playing you and the build up a wee bit tiresome?
Perhaps the best way I can describe it is with a bit of the good Mr I Welsh and his Scottish view of the English in Trainspotting.
"I don't hate the English, they are just wankers. We however have been ruled by wankers for hundreds of years".
I think you should listen to Ewan McGregor.

One of the funniest memories I have of visiting "the dump" is when we went through a phase of losing there that they would see the team do a lap of honour at the end of the game because they had won one game of course against a far superior team - theres no other reason why a lap of honour would be done !

Cauldron would about right.
Small tiny pot full of unmentionable shit as some bat shit crazy sado tries to conjure up a magic potion to give powers beyond their normal capability. (In your case that would appear to the ability to communicate in English properly.)
I'd stick to the Carlsberg Special Brew if I were you. More chance of convincing yourself all the usual rhetoric and bollocks is true.

Perhaps as an interlude to this chest thumping and bravado, you’d welcome a view from a Bluenose on the other side of the Atlantic.
I’ve supported The Blues since I was 6, which is more decades than I’d like to admit. As Birmingham fans we’re used to disappointment, as it’s frequently piled on top of us. As a balance, watching Villa’s remarkable lack of achievement over the past 30 years can deliver an exquisite level of schadenfreude. Has anyone every calculated the income you’ve received and wasted from Sky over the decades? Has it reached a billion pounds yet? In comparison, our own financial tightrope walk is almost what we’ve come to expect. From essential bankruptcy, through the porn baron years, via a imprisoned Hong Kong hairdresser, to the appointment of Ernest and Young who will hopefully oversee a sale which would put us on a more stable platform. Whatever you think about The Blues, it’s rarely boring. Can the same be said about following Villa over recent years?
However, about the upcoming game:
Birmingham’s primary focus this season has to be on the league. The financial chasm between the Premier League and everyone else is widening, and at some point may become too wide for any club to bridge. Despite the off field chaos, GR has taken a collection of generally average players who, under Lee Clark’s tutelage looked like they’d never played the game before, and forged a strong team spirit where each player knows what’s expected of them. The club has a happy vibe at the moment and we can only hope to keep hold of GR to continue his work.
The results so far this season are far better than I expected, and though there’s a very long way to go, there is some sliver of optimism that we might stand a chance of at least making the play-offs. We have 3 league games before the trip across the city, and then another 2 before the end of the month. A hectic schedule, which will require GR to prioritise. Our squad is not deep and a few injuries will weaken us severely.
Expect to see a lot of the ball. Our average possession under GR must be hovering at about the 35% mark. We rely on counter-attacking, assuming we can stay solid at the back. Having watched a couple of your games this season on NBC, I’m not yet impressed by your attacking threat. You’ve several new players who may still be bedding in, but the loss of Benteke is huge. As an aside, though Gabby A always seems to score against us, I think he’s looked very poor this season (and put on quite a bit of weight?).
Being realistic, and assuming that both managers can, and do play full strength teams, I would expect you to win in 90 minutes about 6/10 times. We’d head to extra time 3/10 and you’d win 2 of those. The last 10% of the time we’d win in 90 minutes. We have nothing to lose and have some extremely fond memories of evening matches against you. In reality, the 5 league matches in September may have a greater bearing on the future trajectory of the club.
Lastly, I hope the knuckle-draggers on both sides of the aisle stay at home, don’t drag the city’s reputation into disrepute and don’t threaten the majority of supporters who just want to enjoy a match with an intense atmosphere. I think they happen too rarely nowadays.
KRO!

I'm always disappointed when a Bloser with half a brain cell and opposable thumbs arrives, it ruins all the prejudices I have. Less of it please.

My youngest is at school in Solihull although we are from and live in Sutton. As such I am spending quite a bit of time on the 'wrong side' of town. Tbh I have seen as many Villa as Bloos fans and don't feel the slightest bit intimidated over there. Sutton is in my opinion a lot more anti Bloos than Solihull is anti Villa. The fuckers are surrounded and outnumbered just as they have always been, that's what they hate the most.

Yes, there is opinion for which I don't apologise. I've tried to be honest and balanced, perhaps even given a relatively unbiased view (I'm allowed to be slightly delusional).
You should all be apoplectic about the amount of money that's been wasted by your club for at best mediocre, relegation avoiding results.
You have been in the Premier League since it's inception, but are only achieving at a level similar to the clubs that bounce between divisions.

Yes Philly,but nobody is achieving in the PL other than 3 or 4 clubs. At least we're part of the process. Blues never will be again. This game is as close as it gets for you. We have this every week, our next game after Blues is at Anfield, where you'll know yourself we do quite well. Who are you playing?

Now you're talking bollocks. Look at the Premier League since it began and you'll see about half a dozen clubs who've done better than us - and two of them are bankrolled by billionaires. Nine top six finishes (remind me again of your higest ever) and eleven European qualifications in 23 years is not "at best mediocre, relgation avoiding".

That's what I mean. During the timeframe of his Blues stuff, we've nearly won the league twice, nearly been relegated a few times, won 2 trophies, been in 3 other finals, a bunch of other semis, numerous European campaigns etc. Hardly what i'd call boring.
-
Meanwhile over on SHA their forum oracle 'Gary Rowett' is really having his balls tickled tonight having wrote a blog about us for the Birmingham Mail. Biggest load of bollocks ever written. I love how they all look up to him over there and elevate him, if he was on a forum with normal people he would have the IQ of a lamppost.

Welcome, I've heard this 'it's never boring at the blues' trotted out a few times but seriously? I mean this with genuine respect , every time I see highlights of a game at St Andrews, which granted is only now and again, the place just looks devoid of anything resembling positivity, like you've all just accepted that its not going to get any better, maybe im missing this magic of the Blues that you guys speak of but from an outsider looking in I just don't see it at all, its all just a bit meh.
-
Put it another way. We consider the last 4 years to have been absolute shite by our standards. What do you think a small heath fan would class 4 years of not being relegated, an FA Cup final and a LC semi?
As for our league average being 12th, by our standards again, that is crap. You've managed that or better about 5 times in the last 65 years.
-
Philly, may I ask a question? Why are blues fans so interested in events in Aston, and wouldn't it be better for their club if they concentrated all their efforts in supporting them, rather than hating the Villa?
-

and perhaps this sums up why we support our respective teams. It's irrational. If we'd been born in another place we'd be equally happy supporting whichever random team we grew up with. I think people who support the teams they grew up with are all essentially the same. I have far less time for people who support teams that they've never even seen live. Where's the emotional connection. I find it bizarre.

So having won the League cup in '94 and '96 which was only 20 years ago and it is equivalent to the only major trophy you have ever won, why come on a Villa site and tell us this when SHA have a far greater lack of achievement. As you keep telling us that you carry the name of the city and have the majority of the support within that city can you explain why out of a population of 1,100,000 you can only attract gates of 13,000?

"Where's the money gone Tom?"
We're mostly all livid at the money O'Neill in particular wasted. £65K a week for Heskey, £10m in signing on fee and wages for Marlong Harewood. And if you look at the Premier League now, the TV money means that everybody outside of the top 5/6 is very much of a muchness. Even Bournemouth now will be one of the biggest clubs in Europe based on turnover. Still, despite the last few terrible years, we have had lots of very good years in the Premier League era, and compared to SHA, we're Barcelona and Real Madrid combined.
-
Philly, may I ask a question? Why are blues fans so interested in events in Aston, and wouldn't it be better for their club if they concentrated all their efforts in supporting them, rather than hating the Villa?
Honestly, is this any more true for Blues fans rather than Villa fans, or Bristol City and Rovers fans? I can say I hate Villa at all. Generally, I'm relatively oblivious to what's happening to you, but this game is a focal point. Also, I live 4,000 miles away so my perspective may be different.
-
Everyone spends in the premier league now and wastes ridiculous money, you see it with some of the newly promoted clubs outspending us and the top 6 can get away with it.
Spare me the drivel, likes of Hleb and Zigic cost 5p did they?
-

Our expectations are clearly different. When Obafemi was gifted the last minute goal I was completely stunned, as that's usually the sort of goal we concede (ref: Fulham semi-final replay 1975).
-
If we're talking only PL era, 9 times we've been 6th or higher. That's 9 times we've matched or bettered the highest position in their history. How very boring.
What i'd give for the excitement of getting an 0-8 shoeing at home to Bournemouth in Division 2 in front of 13K while our owner is in prison in another country. I can only dream of such things.

In the past decade, your average league position is 12th.
N.B. My intent was not to provoke you.
In that time we've also had five relegation battles (which for some reason your lot seem to count as an achievement because it's 'exciting'), two cup finals, 3 further semi finals, one good European campaign and two other shocking losses in the playoff round and two good tilts at making the top 4 under O'Neill.
Our average position might be 12th in that time, but haven't actually finished within 3 places of that position apart from O,Neill's first season in 06/07. So that's a fairly obvious example of making statistics fit your argument.
And as PWS pointed out, if you use the 30 year timeframe you've quoted, we've achieved more than Blues have in 140.

This game aside, though. I can honestly say I can't name a single player of yours, but recently I had a blues fan of rare intelligence quizzing me about Carles Gil and why he hardly plays. Why would that be of any of his business if not to pick a perceived weak point and attempt to gloat? I couldn't give a damn who does and doesn't play for you. Nothing could be further from my mind.

It is ridiculous money, and getting worse.
I hope Bournemouth have someone more skilled in writing contracts than we had at the time. Failure to insert relegation clauses must border on criminal negligence, though Zigic had a few goals that made him worth the money. ;D

To some extent this may reflect the media saturation that comes from being in The Premier League.
In the US, I can simultaneously watch every Premier game live (and have the cricket live as well). I also have to select Premier players for my fantasy team (and even have 1 Villa player).
I'm not sure it indicates obsession.
If you every do get relegated, you'll perhaps realise how focused coverage is.

I reckon I can name 4 sha players. Gray, Caddis, Shinnie and Robinson (if he still plays for them). Apart from Robinson no idea of their first names though. My continued boycott of Sky and most of the local media is probably the main reason for that though.

I am becoming mildly alarmed at the frequency in the pages that Small Heath are being dignified by being referred to by the colour of their strip. I gives them a bugus stature of football normality. Small Heath they were and Small Heath they will always remain. The two words indicating lesser stature and the name of the infamous Acid Bath murderer fit them like a six fingered glove.

I've not paid attention to them football wise for a good few years now.
I know of Paul Robinson and Grey and that is it.

And there we have it. The equivalent of the schoolboy failing his exams, but taking satisfaction out of the fact that the boy in class that he is jealous of didn't quite get the results he wanted. I know you have said that you live on the other side of the Atlantic, but you should look up articles written by Gregg Evans in the Evening Mail. A kindred spirit.

So being a Cheltenham lad surely you're rival should be Gloucester United?

Villa's bigger local rivals are WBA, those games are more important and more relevant that playing Birmingham in the cup every 6 years.

I am not expecting you to comment as it's giro day and you and your wife/sister will be off to get your white lightening whilst going to complain at Sherlock St that 'It ay fair - it breaks yer art that we can't go to see the viia bastuds.

Can't you just tell it's game of the season for them already by the way the great unwashed are coming over trying to stir things up.
As for Philly, he's your typical nose moron. Keep deluding yourself mate it's not even worth pointing out where you've gone wrong it's wasted words, nothing sticks in their brain anyway.
I think we should run a sweepstake, at what point during the game will they start to leave again? I go for 72 minutes.

I think it's safe to say the only interest the Villa have in the rags is similar to how I imagine it to be with Chav neighbours. You'll have a peak over the fence occasionally because you hear a strange noise or you know something deranged is going on like them feeding their mangy cat chicken nuggets or they are lying in a puddle of their own vomit trying to start a fight on it.
They are a kind of weird Ripley's believe it or not club. From boardroom members shagging the players to imprisoned Chairmen and takeovers by Billion Trophy PLC Chinese del boys it's all a great laughing stock but very little to do with actual football, as a club they have very little to do with football. A history based around violence, a present based around scraping together enough pennies to survive.

He's really shown himself-up. Trying to tell us about the vibe of his club from the other side of the Atlantic. Telling us the weaknesses in our team, despite only knowing a handful of players - most of whom won't start. Trotting out the old "well, it's never boring line" as though that in some way makes-up for their utter irrelevance in the greater footballing world.
Notice how his mate who had a dig about us having supporters in Leicester and Gloucester hasn't resurfaced since his trans-atlantic buddy popped-up?
I'm all for reasoned and thought-out dialogue with Noses on here, but if you haven't even got a clue about our current team then your opinion on the whole subject matter is basically null and void. For fucks’s sake, there’s a thread title just below the one he’s posted on called ‘Joleon Lescott – CONFIRMED’. Was that not enough of a clue?

They're looking forward to the fixture that defines them as a club and as a fanbase, you can't blame them for being excited. I'm looking forward to it as well, if only for nostalgia's sake.

Can we talk about the game, rather than wasting time giving these Noses an argument? We and they both know the facts, they've been done to death and they certainly don't need going over again. The only thing that matters is ensuring that the team does what it's expected to do and we can all go back to living our separate lives.

It's so exciting down The Theatre Of Dreams II that they've recently cut the price of £5 tickets to a quid in order to shift some.
Now I must admit that the white knuckle-dragger-ride of following the fortunes of our neighbours has passed me by somewhat, but why won't the majority of their own incredibly small gene pool pay even a pittance to go to this non-stop football party?
It's not expensive, it's not inaccessible, it's not even me saying it. It's b-lose fans, who have been used to pretty dire standards of 'entertainment' for decades, and still won't cross the road or part with actual money to join in the never-ending fun.
Meanwhile at dull, old Vile, thirty to forty thousand turn up to pay a fortune in comparison to them.
Sorry lads, the market reveals what's exciting, what people will actually pay to see, not the myriad voices in your head.

I agree. Us talking about them talking about us only fuels their delusions of adequacy. It's one of the many reasons why I hate this fixture.

Exactly
I would be happy to never play them again...............ever
You cannot have a rational conversation about them - some of my best friends are Noses and we can talk all day about football, England , golf family etc etc - mention Villa in any context and they just turn into deadheads. Its like their default mechanism
-
So rather than tell the region (and wider readership of the BM website) the good things about his club, and their chances against their illustrius neighbours, he chose to write a cliche ridden hatchet job on said neighbours, and thier supposed obssession with his own club. Where's that Alanis Morrisette CD?

Not sure. I think she might be in Canada.

just talking to someone ,,,,,, and his mate works in the blues ticket office
blues have given him ten tickets for the villa blues match for friends and family
its probably bullshit

He won't be the only member of Ticket office staff given tickets i imagine. That will go down well if it somehow appeared on a SHA fan website.
I won't be posting it.

You won't need to. They're all on here!

I'm looking forward to this just because it does bring the early round of the cup to life, whereas otherwise I wouldn't be too bothered at this stage of the season because I'm worried about us getting a decent amount of points to avoid a bottom of the table scrap in the second half. But who knows it may just prove an anti-climax. Its not really the same as if we got them in a later round or in a cruical league game, but I'm up for it still. ;D

'Loads of home end tickets going cheap on Blues' forums'. This is their latest claim, that our fans don't fancy it, it will be nowhere near a sell out and there will of course be Blues everywhere. I'd love to know how they've got hold of these said tickets, they must all have a varied booking history for us bless 'em. Come and sit next to me anyone reading over on SHA, I'll hit you so hard you'll end up back on your official coach.

Hi chaps
Thanks for your concern around my citing of United rather than City. It was actually meant to be United, a small town club who i believe went out of business. Anyway must have gone over your heads and eyebrows.
So its Friday, the start of the weekend and what a fantastic day. Got my tickets for tge big local derby courtesy of a kind chap living in rural Worcestershire.
So where we drinking? I particularly like the look of that pink and baby blue painted pub. The New Adventures or something, sounds spiffing...i love and adventurous day out. My only concern is it may be homosexually orientated given its paint scheme...oh well.

There is no demand mate. These fools are scared of public transport, never mind sitting in our end. It probably takes them hours to pluck up courage to plug in their computers.

I'm so glad you have your tickets for the big local derby, don't forget the date now it's September 19th.

Look at how excited they are getting at their first meaningful game in absolutely ages. And they are working so hard to spell things correctly and go as far as to use punctuation. Literally to no avail. Bless them.
-
I can't wait until we hear their spine tingling LULUUUUUUUUUUU. Gets me every time.

Bless them all
If I can give (Jason) a word of advice, real Zulus, those big black strong buggers from Natal have not really embraced man on man relationships, they are quite a homophobic bunch.
He might be welcome in those Liberal bastions of C. Wood and B.Green, but he should probably steer clear of Durban.
-
Having sad bastards like these come stinking our site out is the very reason why I so desperately hoped they would go into administration and fall off the face of this earth.
I fucking despise them now just as much as I did 40 years ago and wouldn't piss on one if he were on fire.
Horrible little club with inbred fuckwits for fans.

Ha! Some of them shouted it in Witton Lane at the last league game. All the Villa fans were laughing at them and shouting "WHO?"
A couple of their top boys took a few slaps, and one of them was getting his nephew to ring round his Villa mates the next day to find out who did it so they could track them down. A football hooligan upset about being hit at a football match. The ones I know see it as sort of an occupational hazard.

In view of PWS' warning on another thread, I would like to point out that I did not intend any offence to gay people in this post, I was merely speculating on reasons for Jason's homophobia further up this thread.
Sorry if it caused offence.

I've got to be honest at this juncture, I know a few Blues fans and work with a few as well. To be fair they go and watch them regularly and on the whole are just normal football fans. We've been speaking about the game (as I said they actually go so have got tickets in their end) and they haven't mentioned any of the nonsense that has been spouted by some of their fans on here.
Unfortunately the decent sort seem to be vastly outnumbered by those who don't go unless they playing us or are in the Premier League and spend their Saturday afternoons sat at home posting about how Villa are doing (see also Albion fans but maybe not to the same extent).

Funny, when noses sit amongst Villa fans there's normally something interesting happens, so if and its a very big "if" a villa fan did give a nose a reference I don't see that as mateish at all, more like a contract!

I was bored the other day and ended up looking through their "memories from the 80's" photos on the Mail website.
Which consists of two entries of the same picture of them celebrating having beaten us in the Birmingham Senior Cup, various shots of long forgotten journeymen toiling in front of sparse terracing, a shot of Ron Saunders walking up the touchline apparently at St Andrews but it's clearly Villa Park, and about another third in total of various rioting.
What a shit club they are.

Likely to be top when they turn up at Villa Park.
It will be nice to knock them off the pedestal they'll have no doubt created for themselves. I fucking despise them. Well, not the actual team, as I don't really know any of their players besides Gray. They don't have a Savage/Morrison/Horsfield/Purse/Dunn/Carr/insert toss piece's name here in their current line up.
It's the fans I hate. Just complete and utter scumbags
-
Philly, may I ask a question? Why are blues fans so interested in events in Aston, and wouldn't it be better for their club if they concentrated all their efforts in supporting them, rather than hating the Villa?
Honestly, is this any more true for Blues fans rather than Villa fans, or Bristol City and Rovers fans? I can say I hate Villa at all. Generally, I'm relatively oblivious to what's happening to you, but this game is a focal point. Also, I live 4,000 miles away so my perspective may be different.
that's a long coach trip.
-
They're looking forward to the fixture that defines them as a club and as a fanbase, you can't blame them for being excited. I'm looking forward to it as well, if only for nostalgia's sake.
we'll meet again, don't know when....

I'm much happier with a back four of Hutton Richards Lescott and Amavi. With Sinclair Traore and Grealish as the front 3 I think we'll batter them.
-
Does look like they'll be flying when we play them, they could be top of the league. We need a good result tomorrow (no brainer I know) and a win against the Albion will give the team confidence and set us up nicely for the Tuesday. I do think it will be funnier when we beat the noses though if they're near the top of the league. They'll come with a bit more hope and confidence and think they'll turn us over which will make it sweeter.

Seriously- tickets that many Villa fans are still having to wait for future dates to buy, with one ticket per applicant are being offered around their ground today. They are making it up to pretend they are tough. It is all they have.
-
At the risk of going against the grain but I think this is going to be a very tough game for us.

There will be a few in the home ends, there always is at derby games. Well, at any 'big' game were away demand outstrips supply. There won't be the numbers they are no doubt trying to make out though.

I heard Gary Roweett on talkshite yesterday, and he said in the previous round he made 8 or 9 changes, but he aint brave enough to do that against us,
I hope Tim has the same understanding as, I want us to do a job on them, I appreciate in the scheme of things the game aint all that, but its small heath.

He's carrying tickets for the home end no doubt. It's amazing how nonsense repeats. They're awash with just how many Villa season ticket holders are willing to be banned simply to hand over a ticket to a Nose.
Bit like 2003 and the Zulus in the Holte, when it turned out to be a handful who got such a kicking they're still sporting the bruise.

Anyone know how ticket sales are going and how many have been sold?
got my ticket in the post yesterday and with it was a note saying that if a nose is found in a home seat then whoevers booking ref it is assigned to will have their account suspended
You are a nose, 100% nailed on. Where do I claim my prize?
what? have you been drinking lol
Saw over on SHA the other day "we're nearly all banned but one of us remains amongst them. He has around 80 posts and they haven't clicked onto him yet". It's you.
So we've gone from 300 Zulus in the Holte to one bloke on a Villa message board.
Par for the course.
-
That bloke can't possibly be a nose as he doesn't live in the city of Birmingham - after all only Villa fans live outside the city.
-
can we put to bed the bollocks claim by quinton villa that i am a nose, ill take a lot but not that

probably. You might be interested to know her brother was a top Mod round nuneaton. She wasn't the sharpest tool in the box though.

There never used to be any blosers in treacle town 20-30 years ago. A handful (5 or 6) albion, but no blues. Distinctly remember visiting my mum and dad around 2003/4 and seeing a shirt wearing nose in tk maxx in town. First one I'd seen there. Plenty of cov rats always has been, but had never seen any noses prior to that.

I went to a Mod 'do' in Numeaton a few years ago. It was quite a good one. Caught the train over with a few b-lose mates to meet a few other noses over there, so there are a few. Good lads as it goes, if a bit obsessed with hooliganism. Went back to one of their houses after and they had all the books.

always been a large contingent of mods/ scooterists in Nuneaton. Our school was rife with them. And yes, unconventional is a very apt description!

Had some great Mod/scooterist nights in smallish Midland towns. Polesworth is a particular favourite with the B500 scooter club.

cant beat a scooterist night, bit of mod, northern, motown, punk, ska, lol
was a great scooter scene in brum a few years ago, 300 plus riding to startford in the sun, choking on two stroke lol

I was bored the other day and ended up looking through their "memories from the 80's" photos on the Mail website.
Which consists of two entries of the same picture of them celebrating having beaten us in the Birmingham Senior Cup, various shots of long forgotten journeymen toiling in front of sparse terracing, a shot of Ron Saunders walking up the touchline apparently at St Andrews but it's clearly Villa Park, and about another third in total of various rioting.
What a shit club they are.
still cant believe saunders left us to manage them
i remember we played them a week or so after at st andrews
and throughout the match villa fans sung
"you must be fuckin mad ,saunders saunders "
Was that the boxing day game ?
A season where their ave crowd was about 13k then come the Christmas game it was a 44k crowd.
Good following of Villa that day
no ,,,,,,,we won one nil

They still do Stratford every year with a lot more than 300 last time I went. Even Billy Bragg was on that one.

have you got a scoot yourself percy?

Anyone who thinks it's just a case of turning up for this game needs to think again after today's jaw dropping stupidity. Blues really ought to fancy their chances of beating us.
-
I saw about 50 odd scooters passing through the Wheatsheaf lights at around 11 today. Despite the number it still sounded like a distant wasp....

We used to bash the bejesus out of each other on Curzon St, assault each other's players in nightclubs and both used a dismantled Austin Ambassador as an offensive weapon in the Rocky Lane unpleasantness. Now posting on the other teams website is something to boast about.
No wonder we didn't get a mention in the last Daily Star Top 10 UK Derbys. For shame.

Met a few scooterists at a Northern Soul do in Malvern last night...a bit mad and great company!
Used to live very close to Polesworth/Atherstone and work in Nuneaton.
Loved the area (Warwickshire innit? I'm a Warwickshire mon)...except for Nuneaton!

Absolutely horrid little place.
it always used to be, that's for sure. I don't know what it's like these days. Probably 10 years or so, since I went out in town though. The problem was there was always too many people for how many pubs there was and everyone used to trek from pub to pub like a herd of sheep. So you'd have 2 or 3 pubs absolutely rammed and everywhere else would be empty. Then everyone would be leathered and all trying to get in the one night club. I used to be a glass collecter when I was 16/17 and the amount of really quite nasty fights that would start over nothing more than a spilt drink was mad. Every fri/ sat there'd be serious incidents. It's funny when I moved to London it took me about 6mths to be able to relax in a pub, without keep having to look over your shoulder.

I really hope the online map is playing up and displaying incorrectly because there are loads of tickets left in every stand, could be an embarrassing attendance.

It's limited tickets left in the holte and the lower north almost gone. Stands to reason as they're cheapest. Once they've gone, the rest of the ground will fill out when it goes to varied booking history on Wednesday. I don't think it'll be a sell out by any means, but reckon it'll be about 35,000. Remember it is a fixture on Sky and has the potential for trouble. My old man for instance, can't be bothered. It's not because he's 'running scared', it's because he's pushing 70, can watch from the comfort of his own home and doesn't really want to walk home past a load of slack jawed degenerates, who can't hold a couple of weak lagers.

Got mine this morning, sorted.

Sorry treacle!
(Sorry for that as well)
Actually I should qualify my earlier post re: treacle town. Our kid's been out there since the early 90's, my nephews and sister-in-law are born and bred, so I'm aware of the local 'rivalry'.
I wasn't implying you personally are thick and slow, it's just to explain the reason it's known as treacle town.
-
ha! Definitely a wind up- you wouldn't let your friends or relatives move there.

I've only ever been to Nuneaton once in my life.

The locals could count how many times I've been on one hand.

They're not used to selling so many away match tickets.
-
Maybe they are waiting to hire in more coaches as they sell tickets so only selling them in blocks of 50

For those of us hoping to drink in The Witton Arms for the next two games we need to think of somewhere else. They have just posted on their Facebook page that WM Police have told them it will be away fans only or they will not be allowed to open. No Adventurers, now no Witton Arms - what a way to treat Villa fans. Feel sorry for the staff on those two games - especially the one against that inferior lower league team.

I saw that as well. Why not Home fans only?
-
Sounds like a wind-up to me.
"away fans only"....bollux.
-
My thoughts exactly Legion - it may be that their page has been hacked - hopefully we can get some clarification
-
If true then I don't get the decision. More so against Blues you're going to have hundreds of their fans drinking right by VP, prime for our fans to mob up and attack. Asking for trouble.
Would the police make a pub right by the sty Villa fans only? Never in a million years.
-
Sounds like a wind-up to me.

[/quot
It's true I'm afraid. I have a quick pint in there every game and was told so at sunderland
-
May be the WMP plan is to keep the filth in one area so its easier to manage and kettle them into the ground.
-
It is true about Witton Arms. Bladen and his cronies doing us over to
-
It's either away only or closed. The decision hasn't yet been made.
-
I'm guessing it's to do with it kicking off in there last time we played the carrier bags.
-
I think it's a good idea either way. Having both set's of fans in the same pub is only asking for trouble, especially after the last game.
-
It's either away only or closed. The decision hasn't yet been made.
I'd keep it open for away fans. Best place to herd them together. Having said that, you know the fuzz will close it down about half six anyway.

Herding them together makes sense in some ways but could also be an invitation for them to "officially" go nuts...and could be a magnet for any of the Villa boys who maybe up for it.
Can't imagine either of the sets of away fans treating "Villa" pubs with anything resembling respect...damage will be done.
Dave W: I assume it's WMP who make the decision about away only/closing?
-
I'm guessing it's to do with it kicking off in there last time we played the carrier bags.
Against the baggies we couldn't get in the Villa half as they closed it so we just walked in the baggies section, very strange feeling going behind enemy lines, we squeezed through a fence in to the Villa section, very touch and go as to which fans were going to attack us first.
-
Hmmm, I really can't see many Blues fans wanting to drink there
-
Hmmm, I really can't see many Blues fans wanting to drink there
My thoughts exactly. They will come in on coaches and straight into the ground or will drink in town and come to the ground late I think.
Where is everybody drinking pre game? I'm in the yenton in the afternoon then the social later on to drink away the nerves.
-
You just know the noses will smash the pub up or cause damage at least, then get escorted in the ground and claim some kind of victory.
We don't get a pub when we go to Albion or Blues, yet the police have given them both one on the doorstep. As I said its asking for trouble, more so against Blues.
-
It's either away only or closed. The decision hasn't yet been made.
Witton Arms Facebook says it's away fans only for Albion & Blues game ..... Police enforced it , away fans only or don't open at all.
-
If it were mine I'd rather close for SHA. Their lads won't want to drink there and any fans there will be a magnet for our bottle throwers. I can't see it at all.

Zulu contingents have special passes for the Lions Club, matey. They are traveling by longboat from West Heath using the canal network. A tasty Villa firm will try and sink them at Selly Oak bridge using shallow depth charges but it is likely that many will make it through.
Forewarned is forearmed, as they say.

Against the baggies we couldn't get in the Villa half as they closed it so we just walked in the baggies section, very strange feeling going behind enemy lines, we squeezed through a fence in to the Villa section, very touch and go as to which fans were going to attack us first.
And you invited me down to meet there!
-
I now fear for this game as I hoped we would go into it at least in some kind of form. I think the Baggies will rough us up and at least one of our flair players will get hurt and our confidence must be really low atm
Really wish we was not playing the feckers to be honest - ever

Remember thinking similar when we had the two games against Albion in a week and we know what happened there. Keep the faith.

I've only ever been to Nuneaton once in my life.
fruitful visit though mate? you got a free scooter out of it!
-
It's either away only or closed. The decision hasn't yet been made.
I'd keep it open for away fans. Best place to herd them together. Having said that, you know the fuzz will close it down about half six anyway.
Herding them together makes sense in some ways but could also be an invitation for them to "officially" go nuts...and could be a magnet for any of the Villa boys who maybe up for it.
Can't imagine either of the sets of away fans treating "Villa" pubs with anything resembling respect...damage will be done.
Dave W: I assume it's WMP who make the decision about away only/closing?
the police can't force the pub to open to serve only noses if the pub doesn't want to, surely?

True. But it was cursed, I reckon. I came off it in Lewisham and then gave it to Martin who was knocked off it by a white van man in Stoke Newington. I last saw it leaning against his shed in Nottingham. Any road up, back to Blues.....

Not forced to open, no.
But give them the Hobson's Choice of away only (highly dodgy) or close (makes things easier to police).

Approximately 26,000 tickets sold so far. Shocking.

26,000 gone for 3rd round League Cup tie against second division garbage is good going with a week to go.
Glad there are some left, as I am looking to pick up extra tickets with a spare reference number when it gets down to just a varied booking criteria tomorrow.

Does a "varied booking" basically include anyone who's ever been to a home game and is on the systems?
-
Think there will be plenty shifted once it goes to varied history. I understand why they've done it, but with the time restraints of being able to sell tickets, it may be the case this one doesn't sell out.

Yes pretty much. It's basically like general sale but obviously stops noses buying tickets. Seen people asking for references on Twitter but the simple fact is if you've ever been to a home game (that wasn't Blues) you'll get a ticket.

Supply and demand. Sure, they'll take the piss if it doesn't sell out, but better it doesn't than tickets going to noses in home areas? It'll get close to 40k I reckon anyway.
-
I recall them getting 20-21k for our last league game with them at the Sty so not all that embarrassing.
I stand corrected, it was:
16 January 2011
16th Aston Villa H D 1–1 22,287
-
Them attempting to mock any attendance we get is like when Coventry took 9k to Old Trafford and took the piss out of Man Utd for not selling out, completely irrelevant.

I hate to break the bad news to you but its a varied booking history over the 2013/2014 & 2014/2015 seasons only not a varied booking history for the past 20+ years
-
It will be close to a sell out if you factor in 25,000 Villa fans
2,800 in the away end
1,000 segregation
13,000 of them in the Holte.

I'm sorry, but it is totally unacceptable to describe Birmingham City as "garbage."
I understand that the moderators of this site have already been contacted by several heaps of garbage who find this description incredibly offensive to them.

Some clown on SHA claiming they got tickets for the Holte without having a reference as just tried their luck
-
I wouldn't get too concerned about their fairy tales.
With the criteria change tomorrow, I reckon we will probably have between 34,000 and 36,000 on the gate. Higher than any attendance they've had in 30 years.
-
All they're doing on SHA is posting nonsense & Seeing how quickly it gets a mention on here.
Just ignore what the fuckers claim to have done, we all know the truth .

We don't sell out very often. About 35000 is my guess.

The police have given them the witton arms, cant ever remember a designated pub for any previous fixture.

Be nice for one or two of them to get a ticket on the Holte and experience being close to other people at a match.

Funny how every Villa fan I've heard from has said how strict they're being with the tickets, and they're sending out a letter with tickets saying 'if any Villa fans are found to have bought away fans tickets they will have all their rights rescinded'. Yet these noses have just strolled up and got tickets. Always makes me laugh aswell how it's always 'in the Holte', because you would really choose to go in the main home end with the rowdiest fans rather than the more sedate upper Trinity for example.

The last time an away fan made himself known in the Trinity Middle (v Arse last season) he got one of the best slappings I've ever seen.
The Trinity Middle ffs!
My tartan blanket fell off my lap and I nearly choked on a Werther's!

It happened a few times when we were up in A2 - usually scousers (blue and red), manure and, strangely, 3 Southampton fans when we weren't playing Southampton

I expected to see hoardes of furtive Blues fans trying to buy tickets in The Holte. :D
There was not even one. ::)

i was in a1 in the upper trinity against the bin dippers in january and a solitary scouser jumped up when they scored, the stewards had him out quickly as two pensioners were going to set about him. yet blues go in the holte and stand up and sing all game.
they just make themselves look even more stupid which takes some doing

Spoke to someone at the shop yesterday and they said they were expecting to be busy today.

Its not been possible to get through on the phone this morning either.
I imagine they'll be shifting a fair few thousand today and in the next few to take us up to around 36,000.
Hopefully I can get two more tickets in the Holte before the Noses have bought them all.
-
Just under 35,000 sold so far. I'd guess that it'll go up to around 38,000.

Take away away support and you get nearly all of the rags average attendance in the Holte End.

I find that very amusing (and unsurprising) considering they whinged to high heaven about the allocation.
-
Took three hours to get through. Entire Holte is sold out, so got the extra two near the away end in the Witton.
Absolutely thousands have gone today. Pity that the Noses have got 13498 tickets in the Holte though, as I would have liked to have had all four of us together.
-
Buying tickets for this game is a nightmare. Sat in a queue on the phone for 26 minutes only to be told the booking history on two of the client codes isnt good enough despite going to Man Utd, Notts County and the Albion games, only my history was good enough but its one ticket client code. Waste of time and a phone bill.
-
Entire Holte is sold out,
So just over 4,000 more in the Holte than the noses got at home in the last round....

I managed to book four online at about 11.45 this morning (after hours of trying) and only two of us actually had a booking history for last season.

My ticket arrived today, L5. Hope i'm not surrounded by sha fans!

We're in K3 as usual. Fully expect us to be the only two Villa fans in there. I might not wear my claret and blue bobble hat now.

Anybody know the lyrics to Keep right on? I don't want too look suspicious when surrounded by them.

You lot are all mad. Blues have got all the pubs in the area, all the public transport is being commandeered by them and they've taken 3 sides of the ground over leaving a smattering of Villa girls dotted around the ground. You will be forced to convert by reciting keep right on.
-
If you are in L5 make your way to the back room in Holte Suite and say hello at half time, PWS. Our usual motley crew will be in The Bartons before the game.
-
Entire Holte is sold out,
The online seat selector thingy is saying there's still seven seats available in the lower Holte. Five of which are somewhat suspiciously together in a row in L2.
-
Witton and Upper North especially are still virtually empty on the seat plan, hopefully they'll start to fill up now the Holte and lower North are sold out.
-
My booking ref is invalid. If anyone has a spare I'd appreciate it.
pm'd you Lee

Percy has (I think) used mine. I have a few more linked to my account (all with varied booking history) if H&V regulars require them.
-
I hope class of 82 has bought his season ticket seats in the upper Holte, don't want to be sitting in the away supporters on my own!

My son can't make it so I have a spare ref if anyone is struggling. Could also meet on the night.

Finally got my ticket. Upper North Stand - I haven't been in there for a very, very long time!
Looking forward to it, though I'm not convinced it'll end the way we would all like...

Really surprised to see that the Baggies game is heading for a bigger crowd than this one. I thought after years without playing SHA more people would be itching to get down, even if it's midweek and an early round of the League Cup.

I don't really care so much for the Blosers....The Stripey's is my derby game which I will be there as usual....but I can't get out of a meeting on Tuesday until 16.45pm and it's a bitch of a drive on a midweek game from Cambridge so won't be there :(

The big difference is that you start the Stripeys game with around 20,000 tickets sold already and Small Heath with whoever's in the cup scheme, which is a lot less.

Still busy on the phone lines to the ticket office so assume selling well and whatever happens I'm sure the final attendances for both games will be something our neighbours can only dream of!

The minute it got past 30K it was already something they could only dream of.

I would guess we're looking at 40,000 and 36,000 respectively.
10 internet points for the person who can tell me the last time either the Stripey Filth or Small Heath topped either of those gates.
-
Ad's do you mean the last time they got 40k/30k for the season?
-
It's all very well comparing our gates to our 2 nearest and dearest neighbours, but if we want to get back to being a big club, we need to compare ourselves with teams a bit more relevant than those that have won two trophys between them in the last 50 years and are completely irrelevant outside of the West Midlands.

If we want to get back to being a big club then we need to start by finishing above the Albion more than once every 4 years.

Doubt the Bitters will be close to 40K, there's nearly a thousand tickets available on Seatwave.

Without doubt. It really shouldn't be too difficult either, they've managed two top-half finishes in the last 30-odd years.
-
I think we'll get between 36,000- 39,000, beat Albion Saturday then can see it being a full sell out. Parents will be scared to take kids, hopefully they give the reference to other Villa fans if they can't go though, need to make the Scum intimidated.
-
I also have a spare reference which I imagine will qualify for a ticket if any regulars are struggling for one.

A good performance and result on Saturday will help shift a few more tickets to those who are undecided about going.

I hope someone offers to pick me up and take me to the ground as i'm too scared to use public transport on Tuesday.

I might wear a Blues scarf, just to ensure survival. Safety in numbers and all that.

I'll be wearing tracksuit bottoms, Rockport boots and sporting a pair of silver plated dog's testicles around my neck. Safe as houses.

is gary rowett sitting in the holte end?

Just worked out why they have yet to sell out their allocation ....... we should remember they are all in the Holte so that explains it !
Cant shift 2800 tickets .....big club or what lol

On a serious note, I have a client ref going spare for any H&V regulars, PM me if you want it. I did offer it to that El Mayor fellow, he didn't get back to me.
-
I also have a spare reference which I imagine will qualify for a ticket if any regulars are struggling for one.
I've got mine (cup scheme), but my daughter (10 years season ticket holder until she went to college), would love to go. I've p.m.'d you.

-
What's kept the Blues numbers down is their ill-though out online ticket ballot system...there's only one question, Name : ? , but it's filtered out over 99% of their followers.
-
They couldn't shift 2800 to fans with 5 away games last season, yet they wanted 4000+. They didn't think it through, they only usually take about 500 away.

I would venture that there are Villa strongholds where are hardly any noses, but in the areas where b-losers are more populous there are still loads of Villa.
I don't think there are many families split down the middle. Purely anecdotal I know, but I only know one in which two brothers are split in this way. There's not a single non-Villa fan in my, or my wife's, or my other children's mother's family.

slightly off topic but are there certain parts of the city traditionally Villa and Blues? Families split down the middle type thing or not?
I would venture that there are Villa strongholds where are hardly any noses, but in the areas where b-losers are more populous there are still loads of Villa.
Spot on.
Villa are a city-wide supported club, particularly dominant in the North of the city. This really bugs them as well.
Their stronghold of Solihull still has loads of Villa.

I don't think there are many families split down the middle. Purely anecdotal I know, but I only know one in which two brothers are split in this way. There's not a single non-Villa fan in my, or my wife's, or my other children's mother's family.
You stopped just short of implicating yourself there. But we all know what you meant. 'There's not a single non-Villa fan in my family or extended family....any more'. ;)

To be fair a lot of their fans deliberately try to get sent to prison so they can mix with former Small Heath players.

Personally I think it is very unfair that somebody got sent down for being a very good and well paid hairdresser and being very lucky in casinos.

Purely anecdotal I know, but I only know one in which two brothers are split in this way.
Would that be Gary and Craig ?

Went to High School in Redditch in the 80's. It was all Villa, Man Utd, Liverpool with a few Boggies in that order and I'm talking from a School of 450.
Can think of 3 Noses that was all. Ironically theere was one Man Utd fan who was staunch, had all their kits everything in the 80's. Some years later I met him again and congratulated him on his choice as all that waiting had finally paid off. He informed me that he'd 'swapped' to Blose around 1991!!

i think it must be more common than we think sometimes
it always makes me wonder when pauliewalnuts talks about his father being a nose, i just cant imagine that,
but then again my father is a Man Utd fan, so not much difference, but we did come from up there
my son went to school in Newport Pagnell with a lad who was Villa and blues, yes you heard correct
his Father was a nose and his Granddad was Villa, they both competed for his allegiance, when his Grandad died he went all over to Blues, and gave all his Villa related stuff to my lad, his dad took him every week and he ended up hating Villa, still mates though

The surrounding areas Cheltenham, Lichfield, Worcester are virtually Blues free zones but do have their fair share of Manc, Liv, glory hunters (and Cheltenham Town for those with special needs).

Agree as far as Worcester is concerned, but I heard recently that there is now a Blues-minded pub in the city. Didn't have that in my day (up to early 90s) - mainly Villa along with the aforementioned "never been to a game" Liverpool and ManU fans.
Droitwich, however, was always a different kettle of fish. Plenty of Villa but also loads of noses.
-
I also have a spare reference which I imagine will qualify for a ticket if any regulars are struggling for one.
I've got mine (cup scheme), but my daughter (10 years season ticket holder until she went to college), would love to go. I've p.m.'d you.
Just replied pal, be in touch tomorrow

To be honest lot more noses where I am ( Chelmsley) but fair few villa. Their biggest strongholds seem to be Sheldon, Yardley and possibly Solihull but I think that's about it.

I hail from 'The North of the Borough' originally, at my school it was a pretty even 50/50 split, I cant mind any Liverpool or Man Utd fans, or WBA come to that. My family are a pretty evenly split down the middle as well even though most of them live in the traditional SHA strongholds.
I dont mix with a lot of my family.

I'm from the other side of the motorway (B35), very much a Villa stronghold when I lived there in the 70's & 80's.
I have a massive family spread all over Brum and we're (almost) 100% Villa apart from one renegade cousin from Weoley Castle who is Wolves bizarrely enough.

There's plenty of Villa in Yardley too. It really annoys Noses as they think it should be "theirs".
-
There isn't really anywhere in the city that is theirs. They don't have the sort of strongholds like we do.
There are Villa to be found in large amounts all over Birmingham, especially the north and west, with the Noses condensed in a rather small corridor in the east and south of the city, which they may at best share with us on a 50/50 basis.
Beyond Shirley, Solihull and out towards Knowle and Dorridge, you would struggle to find anything other than the odd Nose outside the city either.
Hence why you could fit their home support in the Holte End (as we will find out on Tuesday of course.)
Its also amusing that they've still not sold out their routine 2800 allocation. Their away support is generally so small (they average 1500) that they've struggled to get anybody to buy in a criteria as low as 5 away games. Shows how dense their ticket office is really, as they'll have all the available data which confirms they usually take a couple hundred to places, bar a few like the Molineux and Derby where they actually take a following to boost their average.

Apparently that Chelmsley/Vale split goes back to the fact that when they did the post war slum clearances from Aston and Hockley, those families mostly went to the Vale. When similar happened in Small Heath, those families, including my grandmother, went to Chelmsley.
I used to do a job that involved visiting folk in Yardley, the righteous were a little thin on the ground to be honest, in my experience, same in Acocks Green.
-
Lived in Yardley nearly all my life and there's no way b25 is a majority nose area, very few of them go to the games and in general it's 50/50. Now Sheldon down the road, that's a nose area, but it would be, it's nearly in Solihull.

Yes, you're right, just googled it. Whoever said the Magumbo was right about Airplane.
In my defence, whenever we go to the Twin Towers pub in Ladywood, my auntie calls it the Blue Oyster, as she thinks it's the name of the club in Airplane, I will have to inform her so we can re-christen the Twin the Magumbo. If you've been in you'll know what I mean.

my family live all over Brum and from what I have seen Sheldon is nose territory and does this include Tile Cross too as I see a few around there now and again when visiting.
when I was a kid(70's) my Granddad and Nan lived opposite the entrance to Stechford park and I never saw any of the kids with a Blues top on they were all Villa bar a few Baggies strangely...

My Dad's family are staunch Villa, where My mums are staunch Blues.
I can't have sensible conversation with my mums side about football. My moms three brothers, have children in their early 20's an onwards all follow SHA. Amazingly enough none of them are going on Tuesday despite being season ticket holders.

I grew up in Solihull and there wasn't many noses around then.
Of course once they made it to the Premier League they all came out of the woodwork.
I would say from people I know, and from watching the derby games in pubs in Solihull town centre that it is about 50/50 Blues/Villa
-
I lived in Bromsgrove during the 80s, it was mainly Villa back then with a few for the other local clubs plus some glory hunters. I always thought of Redditch as more sha, mainly because it's the kind of shithole they'd live in.

I hope we win on Penalties.

I was born on the Pheasey (solid Villa) and mainly brought up in Streetly in the 1970s (mostly Villa, a sizeable Baggies minority, almost nose free). My Mom's family side were from Hamstead and were Baggies.

Just to be clear, it's only the 'available' tickets you can buy. You cannot buy unavailable tickets at all, just available ones. Just so that's clear.
Available tickets only. And they're only available to season ticket holders, they're not available to anyone else.
Please call to check availability.

When I was growing up in Brum all of our family lived in the Aston/Hockley area.

Bought my ticket today. Bit miffed that I've missed the deadline for using Villa cash (11th Sept). Didn't even know they set deadlines.
-
Although plenty of them B30 and B31 are mixed not just a Nose area.
I'd say there are more Villa in these areas than Blues fans. From what I can see Blues' only stronghold in this city is the south east of the city - Small Heath, Bordesley, Sheldon etc, and that's about it.

why couldn't they just say reply to the email with YES I'd like a ticket ?

It makes for more interesting reading as you head further out from Brum. There is simply no evidence to support this "everyone in the city follows us" nonsense they herald.
I am struggling to think of a single part of Birmingham without a sizable Villa presence.
I mention further out though because once you break the city boundaries their support disappears. And you don't have to get too far out either.
Stourbridge is a 3 way split between Villa, Wolves and Olbiyun. The Blues don't even register. 14 miles away.

B29,30,31&32 is predominantly Villa
B91 is massive villa area
B92 is 60/40 villa
I live in B92 and there are plenty of villa round here.
What I have noticed is the distinct lack of blues shirts.... Go into Solihull on a Saturday and the predominant colours are claret and blue....( some others, CHelsea/Liverpool etc but not many blues)
They are a dying breed... Believe me.... The kids don't wanna know
In this corner of B92 Villa outnumber the lot from Bordesley Green 8 to 1.

I know it's a derby and 'anything can happen' but if we don't beat them we can have no excuses. Watched them tonight and they're workmanlike and nothing more, same as they were against Derby a few weeks ago. Both Ipswich and Derby were much the better team and should have won. Blose are in a false position, they haven't got the quality to maintain it.

So what your saying is they keep getting good results against teams that are better than them even though they don't deserve it, a bit worrying

Dunno what Cooper thinks but whenever I go through Tamworth I never fail to see one of them in a shirt, crawling around. There's a few Albion aswell lurking, never really seen many Villa.
Lichfield is much nicer and a bit more prominent of Villa, Lichfield stations are usually pretty busy when we're at home.

Weirdly acocks green seems to be a bit of a liverpool stronghold
What are you basing that on?
Liverpool fans living there . I know at least 5
My mate Darren lives in Acock's Green and he is a Liverpool fan and his brother Chris, so I know two.
-
I think we all know people who call themselves Liverpool or Man U fans who are from Birmingham.
Why are you debating their postcodes , I would be debating who's the biggest fuck&n glory hunter out of the shower of shites.,
-
My Bluenose mate text me during their game to ask about the Villa match.
I bet he had no idea they were playing.
-
We don't know anybody who supports Man United/Liverpool etc from Brum really do we?
We know decent people whose opinions on football we are not interested in and nor will we ever be.
-
Ticket sales in the upper trinity and doug are looking as sh1te as ever, this has been happening for years now.
Why aren't the villa addressing this problem ? >:(
This should be a sell out!
-
Why the obsession with a sell out? It was never likely to, given the TV coverage and the sales criteria. A likely crowd of around 35,000 would be a decent turnout. A few empty seats? Who gives a shit?
-
A 'few empty seats' being 7000 given your prediction.
I give a shit, you wouldn't see such low attendances at other major derbys in England. Yet we claim ours to be the biggest and between us the gates are pretty shocking.
And I wouldn't claim going to two games in the last two and abit seasons as 'difficult criteria' as you're suggesting.
-
All the lower tier seats and the Holte is sold out, so its just the upper Trinity, Doug and North that will have empty seats. A televised 3rd round League Cup game on a Tuesday night against our scummy neighbours with the overriding question of football violence...I can understand why certain sections of fans (particularly those that travel or families) would decide not to attend this game.
edit: doesn't look as though the Baggies game will sell out either tomorrow in the same sections...probably about 38000 tomorrow.
-
I understand the voilence stance regarding families etc, but that should hinder other derbys too shouldn't it ? Doesn't seem to affect attendances up north.
We're just coming out with excuses Imo.
And yes dissapointing again regarding tomorrow, which goes back to my original point about doing something about the upper trinity/Doug
-
Hmmmmmm
-
I've never been to a Liverpool, Manchester, Tyneside or any of the London derbies so no idea if they are as fractious as our games with Blose (in particular) or Baggies. There could be an extra thousand added to the gate tomorrow getting tickets on the day, but not sure what the club are supposed to do other than reduce ticket prices or remove varied booking history criteria.
Attendances may actually start to recover after years of dross being served down at Villa Park but TS needs to start getting wins at home to get Villa Park full and rocking again.
Lets face it, outside of Birmingham, neither of these fixtures are particularly "attractive" as attendances over the last few seasons show:
7th March 2015: 39,592 (FA Cup)
3rd March 2015: 31,272
29th January 2014: 36,083
30th September 2012: 34,489
22nd October 2011: 34,152
11th December 2010: 37,015
If we get anything around or above 38,000 then it will be an improvement on recent years.
-
In the latest "You couldn't make it up" I was having a look on their forum and a few of them based down here are meeting up in a pub for the game.
They've only gone and unknowingly gone and ha their 'first London meet' in a Baggies pub.
It's even called The Albion.

Dunno about the Ipswich game. Penalty seemed dodgy to me, although their goal scorer should probably have been sent off earlier. I thought that Shinnie fella they have seemed to have a bit of talent about him if you let him play, hopefully we won't.

Just to cheer things up a bit: I am reading "Triumphs of the Football Field narrated by Archie Hunter the Famous Villa Captain" and came across this bit this morning from 1878/79:
"in the match against the Small Heath Swifts we won by twenty-two goals to none; and some humourist fetched our goalkeeper, Copley, a chair to sit upon, as he had nothing at all to do..."
It's an omen!

The pricing for the Witton and Trinity Upper for league games is ridiculous, 40 quid for most games.
Obviously a price cut for the cup but still the priciest parts of the ground so that's the reason there. People will baulk paying to sit up there due to it being a cup game.
-
It is ridiculous pricing, something needs to be done.
Surely villa notice this
-
Anyone got an update on ticket sales? I suspect it will be about 37-38k on the night
-
Blanket pricing with concessions all around the ground. That's what I'd do, anyway.
-
The reason we don't sell out these days is because of how shite we've been over the last 5 years. We're improving as a team, and as ever the fans will come back as the team gets better.
As for the Small Heath game I expect around 37k which is a bloody good attendance considering it's only the League Cup, live on telly, midweek and against a club whose fans behave like they've just escaped from a zoo.

Can't you order online? I did it for the first time for this game, as I usually go into the shop in town to buy my tickets, and it was very easy and painless with the added bonus of no booking fees for this game.

I think this is a major factor. Not sure whether it was our fault that the tickets went on sale so late but would've been much better if we could've put them on sale earlier and spread relevant criteria over a number of days and make the demand more manageable.
Should also be easier to buy online. Plenty of people will have a booking history but won't necessarily know their Client Ref Number. It should be possible to obtain this by emailing name, address, phone number, etc.

I haven't got a booking history over the last two seasons, I've been going on freebies, or my brother has ordered my tickets so I sit next to him.
Which means online it just refuses to let me purchase for this match.

Play like that and they'll beat us.

Seriously i'd put the reserves out against blues to see if there's any quality about. Also we'd have an excuse if they turn us over.

Not sure the squad has got the stomach for this. I'm dreading it, and the trip to anfield. Could be painful seeing benteke against our wimps

Think it will go to extra time and maybe even penalties.
We will score but with Donaldson and Gray they'll sneak one aswell.

Well they now know that all they need to do it sit back behind the ball and attack in numbers when we inevitably lose possession whilst passing sidewards whilst we wait for one of our forwards to stop marking his marker and actually make a move into space or incisive run.
Hopefully Gueye and Traore will be back but it could be a long night if we're limited to the same pool of players on Tuesday.

They'd fucking better win this. They owe us.

We'll twat them.

I really don't feel confident. They are well organised

I'm starting to think that he will play a few second string ( who ain't at the moment) players ....then if we don't perform he can blame that.
If he does he don't get the Villa.

Sherwood has no choice but to play a strong side. He knows the importance of this game. I fear that Blues will want it more than us and with our truly wonderful home form, we will bottle it. I fricking hope not.

I lived in Bromsgrove during the 80s, it was mainly Villa back then with a few for the other local clubs plus some glory hunters. I always thought of Redditch as more sha, mainly because it's the kind of shithole they'd live in.

I worked at North (East) Worcestershire College 1983-2009 - as I remember - it was probably a small Villa majority - knew a few noses down there and a mixture of others (glory hunters) - thankfully I barely see any noeses in Stafford but do see a few here in Tywyn.

He's under a bit of pressure now so I doubt he will try anything too out of the ordinary. If it were up to me I would go with:
Bunn
Hutton Richards Lescott Amavi
Sanchez Veretout
Bacuna Grealish Sinclair
Gestede
Bacuna gets in because there aren't many other options out there. That is the formation I would like to see us use going forward with Traore and Gana coming in for Bacuna and Veretout respectively.

From 20th September 2011:
A message to Aston Villa:
"We know that some of you look at these threads so pass the message on to those that don't. We the supporters don't care if you have a beef with the manager or you don't like the training methods or you wish to be somewhere else. You are living our dream, to be paid huge incomes to play football for the team we love. Villa is our passion and when we see you lot just going through the motions seemingly without any desire to represent the shirt it really pisses us off. This is the same squad, less two, that took it to the top teams in the premiership last year so there is no excuse for the dismal displays we've been watching over the last few weeks. Next time you run onto the Villa Park pitch have a look around the ground. Every single Villa supporter wishes he or she was you, you are our players. The very least we expect is a total committment to the club and its supporters." (c) ROBBO on H&V December 2010 with a couple of minor tweaks.

*clutches at straws*
-
So im guessing that this will become the pre-match thread.
Half of me can't wait, the other half is dreading it.
2-1 us after a long night of extra time, a vile atmosphere, at least 1 pitch invasion and a 'nite of shame' headlines all over the Wednesday morning papers.
-
Shitting myself about Tuesday's game. That bottling, pathetic performance by that bunch of pussies on Saturday has left me with no belief they have the stomach and fight for the game.
rowett isnt stupid he will do exactly the same as pulis.
this is where we will find out about sherwoods management capabilities
i think we allready know mate.
-
Get ready for going 2-0 down in 15 minutes.
-
First goal will be the key on Tuesday. If we get it we can dictate the play and our ability should see us win. Concede first and I think we could well struggle.

It will be toxic. If they score some of their fans are bound to go on the pitch which will stoke the fire even more.
-
Are we having a proper pre-match thread, or is this it?
-
They'll play exactly the same way as WBA did.
Think for a few championship games they've been at 40% possesion, very much like to counter attack.
They're not as good as WBA at the back though so I'd be staggered if we can't score in this one.
Think it will be 1-1, extra time and god knows what on and off the pitch afterwards.
-

Might as well add the poll to this one.

I refuse to believe that any Villa fan with any moral fibre could marry a follower of the dark side like that. It's akin to being an ISIS jihadi bride.

If we lose to them after being beaten by Albion as well I would imagine we'll be too preoccupied with lynching Sherwood and the players to worry about what the away fans are up to.

Nah, its pretty adorable. Besides, with no disrespect to the bloke, she is a nice lass, he is punching above his level there, not sure he was in any position to be making demands when she said "I do". :)
-
She might be half decent looking, but she might be a total fucking nutcase.
-
Or she could be a caring mother and loving wife.
Supporting the wrong football team is not necessarily an indication of a massive moral flaw.
"Brummie Reds" being the exception obviously.

She's alright tbh, then again Karen Brady was my guilty pleasure growing up and I didn't even feel that guilty about it.

I couldn't do it. I genuinely couldn't have any of their crap in my place. I'm so petty I once refused to let a bloke in who had to come to fix something as he was wearing a small heath baseball cap. Petty yes but my place my rules.

in the late 70s i used to go out with a bird who sold pies and burgers in the kop by that big clock
i even went to a few blues matches with my blue nose brother and his mates so i could meet her straight after the match
and even stood in the kop for a villa blues match , so i could have a couple of free pies
then after the match i would meet my bird in the blues supporters club by that clock
they were all singing and dancing on the tables because they had beat us 5 times in a row
i went for a piss and one twat said to me great isnt it mate , beating the bastards 5 times in a row
then he says i still think the board should go , what do you think and i said

I really hope Adama is fit for this one. He'll rip their full-back to shreds!! For me, massively frustrating him being injured, especially by some nobody from Notts fucking County!!!

About a fiver should do it I reckon.
Silhill wait until Tuesday morning, you'll feel excited and nervous then. I'm the same but yesterday and how crap we were is still raw. By tomorrow night and Tuesday morning I'll be buzzing for it and the nerves will kick in. That's the difference between this and the Albion game, I know far more Albion fans than Blues but I don't get that feeling when we play Albion. That feeling in the pit of your stomach, dread, nerves, excitement. Can't wait until I'm in the lower North giving the noses plenty. Hope everyone in there, and the Witton and Trinity for that matter are right up for it. Blues have got 13,500 in the Holte so we won't include that.

WTF is it with Villa and injuries ! It's relentless

We are heading into tow Tuesday afternoon pre-game. I don't drink up town pre-match, any recommendations? Was thinking of the Sun on the Hill.

From the official site:
Tim Sherwood says Idrissa Gana and Adama Traore are both doubts for the Birmingham City game - but the manager is optimistic about the latest update on the former Barcelona winger.
Gana was due to face West Brom but was forced to pull out on the eve of the game after injuring his hamstring in training.
That makes him a doubt for the Capital One Cup clash.
Traore also looks set to sit out the B6 encounter.
The wideman hasn't featured since coming off against Notts County in the previous round.
But Sherwood revealed that Traore is back in light training at Bodymoor Heath.
He said: "Gana was going to play on Saturday but he had a recurrence of his injury on Friday in training.
"It was a blow and changed the plans - but that happens.
"Traore is getting better.
"He is starting to run outside now. He has the protective boot off.
"I am just listening to the experts and taking their advice.
"He is a young player and we have a long season ahead.
"We don't want to ruin him for the sake of bringing him back too early.
"He's very doubtful for Tuesday."
-

I'd give anywhere close to the station a wide berth, I am guessing bouncers and a heavy police presence. If was in town I'd probably be looking at somewhere off Colmore Row.
-
Reliably informed that for the Albion cup game their firm was in the Sun on the Hill and ours was virtually next door in the briar rose, so as chris suggests best avoid any pubs near new street

No footballer should be protected from getting a kicking. Go out and play and destroy then with skill, guile, pace and power.

I couldn't care less whether we win or lose. I am just not interested in this match. I just think we ought to concentrate all our major resources in staying in the Premier League. I was hoping we were going to see a massive improvement this season but once again we have been badly let down. It is no different from the last few seasons and my depression following Saturdays match has not yet lifted.
I am beginning to wonder where Tim Sherwood is taking us in the next few months.

Most people have acknowledged its going to take a while for all the new signings to bed in and for the team (starting) to take shape.
The Blues game has maybe come a bit early, but fuck it and fuck them, just have a go and try and win it. I thought we'd beat Leicester and I thought we'd beat albion, but wasn't to be. Still think we'll beat blues too - you've gotta believe.
-
I am impressed. You know the name of a Nose player.
-
On paper we should hammer these lot. I think Sherwood is going to come under serious pressure if he somehow manages to mess this one up. Gana & Traore are big losses but we should still have more than enough to beat a team that cost less than £3m to assemble!
-
I couldn't care less whether we win or lose. I am just not interested in this match
I can understand you still feel fed up after Saturday, Ron, but do you really mean that? I can also understand that people would rather we hadn't drawn Blues, but I don't think I've ever met a Villa ( or blues) fan who doesn't care whether they win or lose a derby game.
-
in a perverse way its an ideal game to play after the loses to other local midlands teams
its a cup game, everyones up for it (hopefully) get a win and with it a much needed confidence boost,
the fans go home happy and we go again, haha
lose and its not going to be very nice though
-
So Gana and Traore are out again. Feckin marvellous. Always us.

In all seriousness I have watched Blues a few times this season and they are very organised but the one area they struggle with is height at the back, they have been a bit ropey from crosses so this is definitely a game to start Gestede or Kozak.
-
I'd play Gestede up front and stick Clark in midfield in place of that clown Westwood. We need a bit of bite in the middle and Clark is the man.

The problem is I have no confidence that Sherwood will have made the same observation as you. He missed the fact on Saturday that every Albion player in defence and midfield would be taller than ours.

I agree - as much as a visit to Wembley in March would be a pleasant distraction I`d rather we concentrate on picking up 40 points as soon as we can.
-
I'm still believing we're going to win this game despite injuries. A solid, no sweating, three nil win. Richards, Grealish and of course Gabby.

I agree, but Timmy is going to be torn. He's such a tubthumper that he knows this game is massive to him getting the fans on side so he'll want to win, no doubt, whereas in reality he probably would bin this cup off to concentrate on the league.
-
This game is massive to Sherwood and he knows it. He knows people are starting to question him and the last thing he needs is these berks turning up at Villa Park and rolling us over.
Lose tomorrow and the rumblings of discontent will grow.
-
We have to play our strongest possible side (whatever that might be!) and go all out for the win
Confidence is a massive part of the game and a good win could help us kick on and start to pick up a few more points in the League.
To lose this one on the back of a complete non performance v The Baggies will kill us in terms of confidence and I'd be seriously worried going into our next run of games.
As someone once said "let's fuck the fuckers"
-
Not looking forward to this at all. Feel as nervous as Babe the day he got invited to 10 Downing Street.
-
I don't get this attitude that this game is irrelevant or we should chuck it or whatever nonsense people are saying. Firstly, I never want Villa to lose a game. Secondly, it's against them lot. I think this game is important, very important, and I care a lot about whether we win or not. In fact it will dictate my mood for the rest of the week considerably. That's what football's about.

Guzan
Richards Clark Lescott
Bacuna Amavi
Veretout Sanchez Sinclair
Gestede Ayew
Give Ayew the opportunity to get on the scoresheet and it could be the catalyst for his season. Gestede's proven against the level of opposition. Bring Grealish and Gabby on with 20 minutes to go to run them ragged.
-
I think in any other circumstances going out of the League Cup early would not be regarded as a disaster, but this is against "that lot" and I reckon the result of this game will have a big impact on our immediate future. There's already quite a bit of discontentment towards Tim and losing tomorrow will devastate the players ahead of what's now an important game at Anfield - for me it's a game we MUST win.
Just glad up here in Stafford I won't have many (if any) of the clowns jumping and down if the worst happens. I was working in the City Centre through most of the 1970s and as somebody mentioned earlier that period 76-78 when they beat us 5 times in a row was a nightmare time to work with any noses.

Losing tomorrow simply is not an option.

Riding the Cross City line from Bournville to New Street there was some graffitti on a wall as you approached Selly Oak Station ...
It read " Five in a row ha ha ha " Made my blood boil each time I saw it

All's I know, is
the city is ours, and no fucking inbred nose is going to do anything to stop that being the case,
May the best team win.
-
I see Gana is out again after aggravating the original injury. Seems crazy to me that he trained on it last week less than 2 weeks after injuring it on International duty. Hamstring strains usually require at least 2 to 3 weeks rest/treatment before any training. I do wonder at our medical/fitness staff. Okore was supposed to be back this month, now, although he's resumed training, Sherwood reckons he won't be ready for at least 4 weeks. Have a bad feeling about this game.

yeah i would start with rudy rudy rudy rudy up front
when he was at blackburn he got a hat trick against them

I went to all 5 games and remember them as though they were played last week, I also regularly had to endure the chant of "three - two, two - one, two - one, one - nil" (and after February 1978 they added another "one - nil. The annoying thing was in the two seasons they did the double over us 76-77 and 77-78 we finished 4th and 8th (I think) respectively, while they just about avoided relegation and yet they considered they'd had better seasons than us - strange or what ?????

There's already quite a bit of discontentment towards Tim and losing tomorrow will devastate the players ahead of what's now an important game at Anfield - for me it's a game we MUST win.
Just glad up here in Stafford I won't have many (if any) of the clowns jumping and down if the worst happens. I was working in the City Centre through most of the 1970s and as somebody mentioned earlier that period 76-78 when they beat us 5 times in a row was a nightmare time to work with any noses.
Riding the Cross City line from Bournville to New Street there was some graffitti on a wall as you approached Selly Oak Station ...
It read " Five in a row ha ha ha " Made my blood boil each time I saw it
ffs,
how can you get upset at the selectivity of bolox like that, our record against them c***s will not be over turned in our life time,
them retards and I'm talking about the actual club now not the fans, don't recognise any results against us before I think 1935, btw we are still streets ahead, even to their deluded reckoning,
small heath small time

I went to all 5 games and remember them as though they were played last week, I also regularly had to endure the chant of "three - two, two - one, two - one, one - nil" (and after February 1978 they added another "one - nil. The annoying thing was in the two seasons they did the double over us 76-77 and 77-78 we finished 4th and 8th (I think) respectively, while they just about avoided relegation and yet they considered they'd had better seasons than us - strange or what ?????
How many times in a row did we beat them under O'Neill. Was it six?
-
yeah i would start with rudy rudy rudy rudy up front
when he was at blackburn he got a hat trick against them
If we do, I'd put deep heat in his jock strap and get him at it. He looked decidedly half arsed on Saturday and he'll need the devil in him if he plays tomorrow.

If my memory serves me correctly we beat them 6 times in a row under O'Leary and O'Neill
(2005-2010) they'll probably say it doesn't count as they were relegated twice in that time and because we had two O'Somethings in charge.

Just worked out that this will be my 14th blues derby, my previous record is 5-4-4..
My OCD side says they're gonna win to make it 5-4-5 :-/
-
Losing tomorrow simply is not an option.
That sums it up perfectly for me. I also suspect Sherwood is very well aware of it.

She's alright tbh, then again Karen Brady was my guilty pleasure growing up and I didn't even feel that guilty about it.

Don't know about Gabby, but Geoff Horsfield knew the size of it!!
-
Looking at the stats on whoscored so far they're the worst team in the Championship at keeping the ball and there's also a potential weakness in the air. Seems like they take the chances that come their way though. Hopefully we can probe and gradually pull their defence apart by moving the ball a lot quicker than Saturday, get it wide, gets decent crosses into Gestede, jobs a goodun.

My oh my - are we saddos or what ?
I saw my first encounter against the rags in 1968 and since then - competitive games I've actually seen "live" (actually there until 1988 - and on sky since 2002) stand at
W 14 - D 5 - L 15 (courtesy of that horrible period 1976-78) added to that I remember seeing them beat us in a friendly in 1980 at VP and also at the sty in 1983 in the Birmingham Senior Cup Final.
As I said earlier not winning tomorrow night isn't an option
-
Sales are supposed to have tipped past 37,000 for this today.

Dare I request the Orange Dot?

We are 17-6-9 against the rags during my life, I've seen us in the flesh beat them 7 times and only lose 2. I'm going tomorrow therefore we will probably win. Plus they are a shit fucking long ball team who have fluked a few results, it's not like they're pissing the Championship, they're 7th.
If we can't beat that shower then we might as well close up shop. Also shame on all you dribbling over Brady, she's a complete beast :o
-
Bunn
Richards
Clark
Lescott
Sinclair
Vertoot
Sanchez
Westwood
Grealish
Kozak
Gabby
I think he caught 3 at the back tomorrow
-
So does anyone actually know how many tickets have been sold?
-
I don't get this attitude that this game is irrelevant or we should chuck it or whatever nonsense people are saying. Firstly, I never want Villa to lose a game. Secondly, it's against them lot. I think this game is important, very important, and I care a lot about whether we win or not. In fact it will dictate my mood for the rest of the week considerably. That's what football's about.
Hear hear!
I also agree
I know people have there own view on this game, but for me its the most important one we ever play in, apart from finals I suppose
its actually my favourite match to watch, I love the rivalry I love the fact its a true local derby where virtually everyone there would have been born or live within 40 miles or so, no one is getting bussed in from St Albans or Maidstone just from Small Heath,
its 'our thing' as the mobsters would say,
no one else matters its not a Super Sunday Sky Wankfest game its just us and the neighbours and the most hostile atmosphere in English football
I never miss this game home or away if I can help it, and I'm not even a Brummie,
I look forward to it more than any other, the only good thing is if we do lose living just outside of MK there aren't any noses around so I don't get the stick that many of you on here do
I cant wait
-
This could sound horrible, John. But if you don't, and haven't lived here, I don't think you do get it. It is fucking awful.
-
I hate it. Utterly detest playing them. It's never fun, we have nothing to gain, everything to lose, always hate-filled. We have no choice, it's something we must do, so I shall be there, as ever, tomorrow, to watch my team. But I'd take different opposition every single time.
-
Indeed.

Totally agree. Playing them is like clearing a blocked drain. There's no glory in it, it's filthy work, but occasionlly necessary. All you can really achieve is the removal of shit.

No it's not horrible, it's a good point which is why i mentioned it in the final line
Coventry is the closest I ever got to Birmingham, but I've always loved this game my first was back in the 70's when Trevor Francis was playing for them, they won,
-
After all the angst that goes in to it before the game, the only good feeling is being able to grin at them occasionally after if we win.
That is it. The sum total of the joy we can take from it. And then you look the other way round...
-
I can see what you mean about it being a 'nothing to gain' game for us but it has got people buzzing. It will be the best atmosphere of the season, hostile and noisy. If we were playing someone like Reading at home there would have been 23,000 there, no atmosphere and nobody would have cared too much.
If we hammer them then that's the way for us to really win and gain. I actually think if we do win then it will be convincing, 4-0 or it will be a disaster and they'll win narrowly. If we win it won't be close, if we go 1-0 up the crowd will be rocking and the players will relax. Their best chance is get to twenty minutes at 0-0 and frustrate the crowd.
-
My Small Heath derby record is been to 17, won 9, lost 7 and just the one draw. Goals for 24, goals against 19. My first was at the sty in the championship winning season when I was nine and we won 2-1. The worst would be the Enckelman game, the return game that same season and Boxing Day 1982. My top three would be doing them 6-0 in the Simod Cup on my eighteenth birthday, beating them 1-0 in the infamous 'Battle of Brum' in 1983 (a week or two previously we had just got our first video recorder and I taped the brief highlights off Central Sport on the Monday) and the Easter Sunday Gary Cahill game which helped to relegate them.
-
Best: The 5-1 demolition. Carew unplayable. Their end empty after 60 minutes. VP rocking.
Worst: Enckelman game is up there. I was only 15 and my first visit to The Sty, horrible night. The stick I got at school was ridiculous. However the worst for me is the 2-2, Stern John. That felt worse than any of the defeats, I felt like id been punched in the stomach and didn't say a word for hours after the game.
-
030303 was the worst for me.
Best was obviously the 5-1.
-
Is the orange dot due a run out
-
I don't have to look any Blues fans in the eye if we lose so I am looking forward to it.
Win and we can get a nice little spring in our step for the next league game, lose and we can shrug it off, its just the cup and the league is really the only thing that should matter to us right now.
I hope Sherwood and the team go into it hoping to enjoy themselves rather than playing with fear.
We can leave the obsessed bitters and blues to talk about us, thats what they always do. We can ignore them either way and enjoy ourselves for an evening where the result does not impact our survival chances.
-

It failed miserably last season so has been retired.

Bunn
Richards

Sinclair
Vertoot
Sanchez
Westwood
Grealish
Kozak
Gabby
I think he caught 3 at the back tomorrow
Im not against three at the back but Sinclair and Grealish as wing backs? :o
Id be bringing Clark back in and Richardson too, Amavi needs a break/kick up the arse
Maybe a mixture of width through wing backs to suit our stagnant forward line and one schemer in behind is the way to go here
Id go with
------------------Bunn
---------Richards, Ilori, Clark
Bacuna, Sanchez, Westwood, Richardson
--------------Gil/Grealish
-----------Kozak, Ayew

I watched the whole of this game this morning in bed and this is going too sound strange but despite the score line we played some horrible football, I actually got bored watching the constant hoofs.
And yes I'd take a repeat performance and result tomorrow, without a doubt.
-
Just beat em please lads just beat them
Also folks got one ticket spare for upper holte row 24 centralism son just been told he gotta go work in Leeds till friday
-
Why the bloody hell am I seeing pictures of Karen Brady on here? I'm trying to eat my dinner here.....
-
My favourite is still the 2-1 win at the Sty when Garry "Bruno" Thompson scored twice.
-
I hate it. Dreading tomorrow and trying to take my mind off it.
I echo the sentiments, if you're not a Brummie then you don't get it.
Tomorrow's going to be a long day at work.
-
Favorite moment probably Gabby's last minute winner followed by the wildest celebrations ever, I think I had unintentional sex with atleast 7 random people in that moshpit.
Worst moment, stern johns last minute equalizer and the 3-0, they were both horrible.
-
Winning there when Kevin Philips scored in 2005 was my favourite. We'd taken so much shit off them before and beating them in their own back yard was somewhat satisfying. I remember "The Rifle" shooting himself in the foot before the game in the bluenose-arselicking Birmingham Mail, and then O'Leary doing his dash across the pitch to wave to Ellis.
-
I turned up for the game that was 5-1 totally confident that we will thrash them and we did. The sweetest was Gabby clearing off the line and seconds later scoring the winner. I was in their main stand that day and couldn't celebrate till I got to the car. Worst of course Enckelman moment.
-
Hi, does anyone know if there is commentary on-line for this match? Have tried Free radio and it looks like Ron Toss is having a night off there is no mention of the match also WM is not going online. Thanks
-
The 5-0 in the League Cup was probably my all time favourite, when we were 4-0 up after 17 minutes. We had a Nose stood with us on the Holte, who didn't know whether to laugh or cry. In the away end the unwashed were burning their scarves in disgust.
-
My favourite is still the 2-1 win at the Sty when Garry "Bruno" Thompson scored twice.
With you there brother, great day.

I fear the worse, 1-2 gabby and donaldson, gray for them, dim tim to have his collar felt and he will walk. Either Nigel Pearson or Paul Lambert to come back and finish the job, both would come for no compensation.

No I'm just nipping out for a few beers to calm the pre match nerves!
-
Is tomorrow the time to go three at the back? It's surely coming to deploy Amavi & Bacuna as wing backs...is it less risky to give it an outing in the COC rather than league?
I'd go;
Guzan
Micah Clark Lescott
Bacuna Amavi
Sanchez Gil Veretout
Gestede Ayew
Gabby / Sinclair / Bunn / Grealish / Crespo / Hutton / Cole
See if playing Bacuna & Amavi further up might get more ball whipped in to Rudy's strengths - Ayew needs backing, he has had a couple of poor displays, no worse than Gabby / Sinclair the last two games though...if he can stay onside a bit more we might get chance to see if he has anything to offer!
My side has taken Westwood completely out....obviously won't happen because he is untouchable but it would send a message that such ineptitude won't be tolerated. Also not starting Gil & Grealish together, the first half hour should be blood & thunder, we can't afford 2 liabilities who barely jockey let alone threaten putting in a challenge.
-
were going to shags these twats , they are an average at best championship team, play a proper midfield, not this "were Barcelona bolox" they wont live with us, Scott and Gil playing off Gestede Westwood and Vertout, Bacuna Clark Lescott, Richards, Hutton, Guzan

now your getting it, basically noses are known to be thick twats, who know fuck all about football / well anything really, so maybe you should go and contemplate which circle of hell Villa will put you in tmw.

There is nothing sweeter than beating these fuckers with late winners, dubious late penalties, own goals, offside goals. The more dubious & unfair the goal that wins the game for us the better, because it drives them fucking nuts & feeds their sense of injustice.
They are, always have and always will be in our shadow. Irrespective of the score tomorrow, the natural selection remains a constant.

I'm torn between sticking 6 past them, or winning in the last minute with a goal that was three miles offside. Both scenarios will amuse me a lot.

Just to confirm how stupid they are, this guy (a friend of a cousin) https://www.facebook.com/mark.cartwright.712?fref=ts put the tickets he bought for the Witton Lower on facebook, when I asked him why he was sitting in the Home fans when they had not sold out their allocation, he actually said You didn't sell out for the baggies, this was followed by numerous posts of pure venom and I was every part of mans and womans anatomy. I then pointed out that I had emailed AVFC with the ticket number and the posts and he deleted the thread.

My Forest mate has reassured me we have nothing to worry about. He reckons they should of whooped them by 3-4. And with Grealish-Gil- Sinclair-Gabby we will rip that defence to pieces. I am going to stay positive and say 2-0 Sinclair-Gabby with the loudest Villa park noise ever !!!!

We have individuals that cost more than there whole squad I hope you are right Walter but I reckon they are going to nick it, I never back against us but 2-1 blues is 12/1 so having a tenner.

I'm torn between sticking 6 past them, or winning in the last minute with a goal that was three miles offside. Both scenarios will amuse me a lot.
True, but I'll take the former, thanks!

Best: The 5-1 demolition. Carew unplayable. Their end empty after 60 minutes. VP rocking. By
I watched the whole of this game this morning in bed and this is going too sound strange but despite the score line we played some horrible football, I actually got bored watching the constant hoofs.
And yes I'd take a repeat performance and result tomorrow, without a doubt.
pretty sure that match wasnt screened on live TV,,,,,,,well not in the UK anyway

It was on YouTube, presented by that James guy that did football Italia, the quality of the recording was naff.

I turned up for the game that was 5-1 totally confident that we will thrash them and we did. The sweetest was Gabby clearing off the line and seconds later scoring the winner. I was in their main stand that day and couldn't celebrate till I got to the car. Worst of course Enckelman moment.

Savospit and his 12,000 bus w@nker friends dotted round the ground are still planning the 19th minute applause for Blues legend Zigic. Please drown the clampits out.
The Blues legend that was earning massive wages while they were in financial crisis and hovering at the bottom of the Championship, yet whose attitude was so bad that he was dropped from the squad by the manager? That Blues legend?
If that is the criteria then maybe we should have one for Charles N'Zogbia.

After all the angst that goes in to it before the game, the only good feeling is being able to grin at them occasionally after if we win.
That is it. The sum total of the joy we can take from it. And then you look the other way round...
No way. The good feeling is knowing how much losing to us will eat away at them as they know that unless we go down, they will have blown their only chance for the foreseeable future. Believe me, "we'll meet again" will sound very sweet tomorrow night.

19th minute? Number of millions of pounds they paid him in wages over his time with them?
I was going to say it was the number of goals he scored for them in total but apparently he got 32 in 137 games. #Bargainofthecentury.
-
I'm torn between sticking 6 past them, or winning in the last minute with a goal that was three miles offside. Both scenarios will amuse me a lot.
How about sticking six past them with the first one being miles offside so they can cry about that one changing the whole game and making all the difference.

To then finally scuttle off back to a Small Heath forum to inform the few that he's spent a few days winding up Da Vile.

I was watching Sherwood being interviewed and he was asked if the new players know how big a game it is. He said yeah, we've been telling them. Have they thought about putting some of the old games on telly for them and letting them see how intense it is on and off the pitch? Surely the sight of Dion bopping Savage and King Olof striding majestically off the pitch should get them wound up.
I dare say I'll be wide awake at 3am when this is on - we should have more than enough to smash them. Provided we turn up of course - which unfortunately we don't seem to be doing very often...
But I'll go for 2.1 home win. Stay off the pitch please boys and girls.
-
The important thing is to get the balance right.
In 03.03.03, the players reacted too much to the atmosphere and it boiled over. Play with intensity, but use your natural and superior ability and we will wallop this second division shite.

They'll know. As soon as they get to the ground they'll know. The atmosphere around these games are different to any others and they'll sense it. The first time they run out onto the pitch for a warm-up they'll cotton in and the game is something different. By the time its kick-off the noise will be amazing.
Forget your North London, Scouse, or Manchester bollocks this is where its at. Admittedly I've never been to any other derbies but the only ones that come across as at a higher intensity is rangers - Celtic, Liverpool - Man U (although that is losing the deep resentment), and no doubt there will be some strange smaller derby - like Mansfield - Chesterfield or something - that is more hate fueled.
I'm looking forward to it -easy when you're not in birmingham - but then again I was looking forward to last Saturday's game convinced of victory.

Think I'd get Clark in midfield tonight and definitely Hutton at RB. I'd also play Kozak.
-
This game has come far too soon for this team. An unwanted morale destroying 1-2. Didnt see any of the Baggies game but there was some very encouraging play v Leicester. Unfortunately our defending at the moment appears to be even more fragile than Lamberts tenure.

Bit of a cnut ain't he?
-
Apparently he's talking about 3 at the back with wing backs to get more out of Gestede. Some of us have been talking about that on here for several weeks and I'm starting to like the idea more and more. Especially the way results have been going playing the way he has. The question mark was over fitting Grealish and Traore into that system as wingers but I think I'd play Traore up front with Gestede and Grealish in behind. I'd then have Gana and Sanchez as the holding players behind Grealish, with Bacuna and Amavi wing backs. I think they'd be awesome.
-
--------- Guzan ----------
Hutton Richards lescott Richardson
------Clark ------ Sanchez -----
Sinclair ---------------- Grealish
------Gabby --- Kozak------
-
if we lose tonight we should have a poll as to what word will be used the most in the post match thread
my nominations would be -
Chancer
Sleepwalking
Low
Championship

-
Think I'd get Clark in midfield tonight and definitely Hutton at RB. I'd also play Kozak.
I would as well but Kozak is a player Sherwood clearly doesn't rate according to the mail yesterday.
I have a feeling he will play an the same team as saturday but start with Gestede
-
I reckon he might go 3-5-2 with Clark and Gestede in. Reckon he will drop Gil too and bring in Bacuna to swing some crosses in....
As far as other lively derbies - West Ham v Millwall....also the Sheffield derby is quite lively.
-
I think it'll be the same team, depends on how fit Gil is.
I worry about our right side. Gil doesn't have the defensive discipline to pay wide. He'll leave Hutton exposed.
I'd play him dead centrally. Get him coming deep to get the ball.
Unsure to if Sinclair is a better option than Gestede. Gestede would give us the 'lump it' option, but I worry he's not strong enough to actually make it be effective.

I actually quite like the thought of Gestede and Sinclair up front - Sinclair is wasted in the current formation and is the most likely goal scorer, makes better runs than Gabby, then again so do I....

Maybe playing against Championship Defenders will suit him but it is all dependant on getting the right service. He's not likely to create anything for himself.

Not been this nervous before a game in a long time. Stomach's in knots.
For the love of McGrath let's smash these fuckers.
-
Im hearing Tim , saying we must end the game with 11 on the pitch, so the discipline seems to be top priority, when the noses get nasty surely the ref should be controlling them, its only when the ref is a limp biscuit, that our players loose it generally, so shouldnt someone point out to the ref he shows no tolerance to these "professional" fouls
who is the ref tonight, in fairness i thought the ref against sunderland had a good game.
-
Sinclair should not be in the forward line of any Premiership club, he's got to have faith in the players he's bought, not try and shoe horn in a player who has up until now pretty much been a slight, nippy winger in to the most important position in a team. He's a good little player, I like him, he was great at Swansea and he looks like he has goals in him, but coming from deeper or wider, not being stuck up top and marked so closely and physically out of the game.
-
Nervous now. The way things are going we'll probably lose and lose somebody good like Amavi to an injury caused by one of their cloggers. Sorry for being negative but I hate these games.

I wonder if we may see Tiago "beep beep" Illori tonight?

Sorry but I only see victory tonight, chumpionship bolox and they are bolox
our performances aint been that bad, just play a proper midfield, not this fantasy ataack attack midfield, need some destroyers in there.
Im looking at an impressive victory.
The City is OURS

Knowing Villa as I do, I never, ever expect us to come up with the goods. We usually find a way to disappoint, so a win tonight would be nothing but sweet relief.

This must be the most exciting day in your life? Spend all day on an Aston Villa fansite then your cup final tonight. Do you think being a second division, long ball, clogger team will give you the advantage? or will you all pretending to be hard give you the extra edge?

We are Aston Villa and we are superior to them in every way it is possible for one football club to be superior to another football club. That will remain the case, regardless of tonight's result.

Have a bit more faith risso, dont you think our history will give us the edge?
No, but the fact that Blues are a crap mid-table Championship outfit might.
-
I think it'll be the same team, depends on how fit Gil is.
I worry about our right side. Gil doesn't have the defensive discipline to pay wide. He'll leave Hutton exposed.
I'd play him dead centrally. Get him coming deep to get the ball.
Unsure to if Sinclair is a better option than Gestede. Gestede would give us the 'lump it' option, but I worry he's not strong enough to actually make it be effective.
I actually quite like the thought of Gestede and Sinclair up front - Sinclair is wasted in the current formation and is the most likely goal scorer, makes better runs than Gabby, then again so do I....
I think we need some pace out wide, so would play Sinclair on the left with Bacuna (only real option at the minute) on the right. Gestede up front with Grealish or Gil just in behind and I think that will be a much more balanced attack.

That is very attacking, granted were playing against a team (laughs up sleeve) that will finish best mid table championship, but there going to kick us, and Jack the lad will go missing from any physicality, i'd change him for Vertout or Clark, other than that , with you.
-
My team for tonight:
Guzan, Richards, Lescott, Clark, Bacuns & Amavi
Sanchez, Veretout & Grealish & Gabby
Gestede
Would love to see Adama fit to start and if so would leave Gestede out of starting line up. Just let Adama run at em....they would shit themselves, would be able to play a little more centrally with the 2 wing backs flying forward. You could argue that with 2 wing backs therefore hopefully better service then there may be a case for starting Gestede...not sure...all about opinion ain't it
-
Buzzing. This is why the Albion game doesn't compare. I'm full of nervous energy, can't wait to finish work and 'get on it' as the kids say.

Hold it down blues
Your team's getting blurrrrred
We know you can't stop thinking of us
By all means we can vibe with your chimps

I'm not sure this is a game for Vertout, he looked some way off the pace on Saturday.

cant see him going for a 3-5-2 and whole change of formation for a game as important as this, although we are talking about Sherwood :o
Cant see Adama playing any part whatsover unfortunately
-
I suppose this is the pinacle of their careers playing at VP tonight, some will freeze others will play above their ability, I was at stan andrews that night when we undoubtedly had a far superior team , but complacency is what did us, we went out like it was a training game and they were in our faces,
no never again, as much as it hurts me , we must show them respect in that we are professional and up for the fight, match their tenacity and our better quality play will see us serving them up with yet another losers meddle

Fair point, but I just worry that whichever way we play a three in midfield, the personnel we currently have available means it is going to be unbalanced. A midfield three of Westwood, Sanchez and Veretout looks horribly one dimensional to me, with all three being too similar. I suppose if we are going to go with a three, then Richardson could come in on the left just to balance things up.

It is late night in Orstrailya. It's a Queensland Haiku

I think he'll go:
Bunn
Hutton Richards Lescott Amavi
Clark
Gil Westwood Grealish
Gabby
Guzan, Sinclair, Gestede, Veretout, Gardner, Sanchez, Kozak
Mind you, I would start with Sinclair instead of Gil and Gestede instead of Gabby
-
Taking the team from the last round as a guide, I'm expecting something like:
Bunn
Richards
Bacuna
Amavi
Gil
Grealish
Sinclair
Agbonlahor
Ayew
Kozak
Gestede
-
We are Aston Villa and we are superior to them in every way it is possible for one football club to be superior to another football club. That will remain the case, regardless of tonight's result.
We have spent over £45m against their £850,000 ..and we have the history so how can we not be superior?

I wouldn't be surprised.

It's noticeable that all the Wolves fans I work with are all hoping that we win this. I know from them that a lot of Wolves hate the Noses even more than the Baggies now.
At least Wolves haven't been small time enough to tweet a message of good luck to us however.
-
I'm not sure this is a game for Vertout, he looked some way off the pace on Saturday.
I don't think I've seen anybody slower than him for a good while. Considering he was fresh on, one of their players left him for dead and he then proceeded to stand around in a variety of places on the pitch, none of which were useful. I'm genuinely disappointed about him so far as I thought he could be the best signing of the lot, but up to now he looks poor.

The Bitters deleted that tweet. So i'm assuming even they eventually twigged how pathetic it made them look.
-
For some reason I'm not getting excited about this at all. I woke up this morning (Blues weren't on my mind), wondered what I was doing today then remembered the game tonight. Maybe it's an age thing, maybe it's the anticlimax of the Bitters game, maybe it's 4 seasons of endless anticipointment, but I'm just not up for it at the minute. Hopefully when I'm walking across Aston Park and see the Holte emerging through the trees I'll start getting the buzz as usual, but I'm strangely downbeat about tonight.

Not good news that Gana is out. He looks a very good player and we've missed him. Also looks like Adama won't play, which is disappointing as well as he also looks good.
Kozak to start I think. Give him a chance.

This must be the most exciting day in your life? Spend all day on an Aston Villa fansite then your cup final tonight. Do you think being a second division, long ball, clogger team will give you the advantage? or will you all pretending to be hard give you the extra edge?
That ship sailed with the first fleet of coaches.

I would have thought Small FC was more fitting.

Haven't felt nerves like this for quite a while.
Come on Villa, let's kick start the season. God knows we need to.
-
1st goal is critical tonight
We get it early and we could click and tear them a new arsehole
Struggle to put any rhythm together and the atmosphere will change and our boys could find it a tough place to be
WE started very slowly against Sunderland, Leicester and the Bitters so we need a change of tactic tonoght

You better all be up for it tonight, none of this moping about and downcast shit. Have a beer, have a laugh then get in the ground and empty all our frustrations on them. They're a fucking vile, cess pit of a club. Everything from everyone who's ever owned them to everyone who's ever supported them, small time, small minded, small ambitions. This is the only game that matters to them this season, they know they aren't coming up so this is it. Let's not just shit on their chips, let's take a fucking mighty, great, morning after dump on their chips.
Let's do a job on them, like we did on Liverpool. Leave them beaten on the pitch and in the stands. They give it the big one that the result doesn't really matter, we can't really win, it's bullshit. A defeat against us hurts them more than our defeats to them do. We move on the next few weeks, in the top flight, cup competitions, big matches against the elite. They look forward to Rotherham and Yeovil, with us on their mind, knowing it was everything, right there wrapped up in one little game. The sole reason they became noses, to hate the Villa.
I'm off to the pub now, fully confident that as bad as we've started, we are not a piss pot, hit and run first division team. All stick together tonight and we will fucking do these like we normally do.
Up the Villa, see you all in the Holte (and all the hordes of rags too)

I came out of Villa Park thinking that was Sherwood's honeymoon period over, but tonight is a big chance for him, don't fcuk this up Mr Sherwood!

FFS Savo, at first I was giving you the benefit of the doubt, but fuck me you are boring, everything that comes from your keyboard to our forum has been lifted directly off of the SHA site. A discussion with you is like having a conversation with someone who reads off a script and only uses certain phrases dependent on the post.

Why is this twat still allowed on here?
Can we just step on him like the cockroach he is please and get back to talking about the game
-
I've always looked forward to our derbies but I currently feel like our players must have done before Saturday's game - I don't have that special buzz I always feel beforehand.
Hard to explain and I don't like it, should I get to the doctors?
Like Pele going to an orgy, I just hope the magic kicks in by the time I get there tonight.

They`re saying for weeks this isn`t their cup-final, well if what i`m seeing on Facebook is anything to go by it`s the World Cup/Fa cup/christmas/blowjob off Kim Kardashian, all rolled into one - unreal, they`re like Keith Moon on Speed, so hyped up its not true, and all a bit small-time on their part really.

WE are the reason for their existance
forever in our shadows, these cretins dont support sha, more like a collective of Villa haters.
we must be doing something right to get up their noses as we do.

1-0 Villa.
Gabby.

I never, ever get involved in any Facebook 'banter' with them. It's simply not worth it, because just like tonight's game, they claim some shit moral victory about anything they can find. They're best left to it.

Just seen this quote on a blog in the Mail
[b]Despite it being just the 3rd round of the League Cup, it will be a bigger crowd than has been seen at the Sty for over 30 years. It is your biggest game in 4 years. It isn't even our biggest game in 4 days.[/b][/i]
Enough said ?

If you want to speak to him tonight he'll be the one outside the away end being led around by a burly tattooed biker type on a chain, down on all fours in full leather all in one with a zip over the mouth and a cutaway around the arse area.

Just found out Ten Sport are showing the match live 12.15 AM kick off. So just have to make sure the chaps who are coming to take me to dinner at 9 return me back before midnight!

Saw someone on Twitter say around 38,000 expected tonight. Don't think it will be that high personally, but hope I'm wrong. That would be a good crowd for a 3rd round game with trouble almost guaranteed.

I had a quick look earlier and 38 looks about right.
Holte and lower north sold out
first two tiers of the trinity almost gone
the only really big spaces were top tier of the trinity with spaces from halfway back

I think he'll go:
Bunn
Hutton Richards Lescott Amavi
Clark
Gil Westwood Grealish
Gabby
Guzan, Sinclair, Gestede, Veretout, Gardner, Sanchez, Kozak
Mind you, I would start with Sinclair instead of Gil and Gestede instead of Gabby
Where ever have you got the idea to put Clark in midfield from? That experiment failed years ago
and how has Westwood retained his place over Sanchez?
and why are we only playing 10 men?
I'm for experimentation though
-----------------Guzan
------Richards--Clark---Lescott
Bacuna-------------------------Amavi
----------------Sanchez
--------Veretout-----Grealish
--------Gestede-----Gabby
Bench - Bunn, Ilori, Kozak, Gil, Richardson, Ayew, Sinclair
Veretout over Gil due to being a box to box player capable of playing the number 10 role, yet still being able to defend
I'd have Ilori for Clark if he was match fit too
It's a defensive formation, but i'm sick of looking fragile and they're going to be the bang up for it team playing high tempo stuff
-
-----------------Guzan
------Richards--Clark---Lescott
Bacuna-------------------------Amavi
----------------Sanchez
--------Veretout-----Sinclair
--------Gestede-----Gabby

Don't worry lads and lasses, in a few hours he will have crawled back into his hole not to be seen again.
-
-----------------Guzan

Bacuna-------------------------Amavi
----------------Sanchez
--------Veretout-----Sinclair
--------Gestede-----Gabby
I'd swap Clark and Lescott over but otherwise looks pretty good.

I'd be worried about the two statues up front.

Lescotts more accomplished at playing left back than Clark. He'll be suited there.
What's your reasons for dropping Grealish?

Me and our kid in the pub. Very much looking forward to this now.
All black coats and hi-vis vests.

Starting to feel a bit sick now

McLeish has said on talkshite, there are nice derbies but this one is nasty, couldn't agree more, any time the noses play its nasty.
the crowd will be hostile just hope our boys understand the vast majority will be with them.

As once quoted in a Laurel and Hardy film (can't remember which one).

I just hope we win and send them on their way, it is their biggest day of the last 4 years and we have very little to gain over it except a place in the next round.

My thoughts exactly, despite their obsession of hating us being their sole reason for following football, they are in a no-lose situation - hopefully the boys will do the job for us and more hopefully it will be at least another 4 and a half years until we have to play them again.

Genius!
Banter aside...Discussion......Deano Kro
Have heard many rumours that Blues fans have acquired tickets in various areas of Villa Park including the Holte End...If true there is going to be Murder....and in my opinion the fault of the violence should rest squarely at the door-step of AVFC and the police to boot...Whenever Blues and Villa meet in any competition its fucking huge and to be given a measley 2800 tickets is appalling and I can guarantee that if tomorrows game ends in a draw the Villa will get at minimum 5000 tickets maybe upto 7000 tickets filling Gill Merrick in the replay, the Blues allocation should be at least 20 to 25% of Villa park....

Have heard many rumours that Blues fans have acquired tickets in various areas of Villa Park including the Holte End...If true there is going to be Murder....and in my opinion the fault of the violence should rest squarely at the door-step of AVFC and the police to boot...Whenever Blues and Villa meet in any competition its fucking huge and to be given a measley 2800 tickets is appalling and I can guarantee that if tomorrows game ends in a draw the Villa will get at minimum 5000 tickets maybe upto 7000 tickets filling Gill Merrick in the replay, the Blues allocation should be at least 20 to 25% of Villa park....
its impossible to know where to start with that.
Comedy gold!

I'd swap Clark and Lescott over but otherwise looks pretty good.
Lescotts more accomplished at playing left back than Clark. He'll be suited there.
What's your reasons for dropping Grealish?
I didn't drop Grealish as I didn't make the original post, but I wouldn't be fussed if he played instead of one of the attacking players, not bothered either way. I think Clark would be better left side because he's good at blocking stuff coming in from that side and I think Lescott would be better in the middle as the organiser.

I see our new but recently departed friend Savo wants everyone who went for a SHA win named and shamed. Why not just name someone who we had never heard of before who suddenly started threatening to overtake Paulie's posts total.

Martin Laursen is just about to be on TS - talking to Adrian Durham. Or so I am led to believe.

We're in the Sun on the Hill up town. Noses are next door in the Briar. I've heard the Lulus are heading for the Albion in Aston.

No, that's a different one.

just setting off for the Natura Beach sports bar in Playa Blanca....
come on you Lions !!! make the season start now
Last time i was here we squashed L''The Mighty Reds YNWA' so there should be no reason why we can't deal with plucky little neighbours (coughs up phlegm and expectorates)

Natura Beach? They are not nudists are they oldtimer?

How do you know which team people are supporting? Do they paint their balls/boobs (delete as applicable) in team colours?
If so, do new style football fans paint one ball/boob in one team's colours and paint the other for the opposition?

This is either gonna be a fantastic winning performance with everything clicking in to place that will lift the team or ppfffftt.

Kicking off in aston manor pub apparently
-
Off to the pub near Victoria. The nerves are starting to kick in.
-
If Hitler had been a nudist he would have to have a half and half painted ball. Or paint Eva Braun's tits.

I heard yesterday that Clark would be playing in midfield with Westwood?!?

That's an hour early. Who won the toss?

I think you've clearly taken this into the realm of fantasy Brian.
Clearly the balls contained within don't matter - he'd have simply painted his scrotum like the rest of us
-
I still think Hitler was a bluenose. What other reason would he have to tell Hermann Goering to bomb the Witton Lane stand?

Snigger
Aston Villa won the toss and elected to receive a volley of empty bottle of Stella Artois.

Flash bangs and bricks involved according to Twatter . Sounds like COD

Noses have put the windows through on the Tavern and run off.

Just seen this quote on a blog in the Mail
[b]Despite it being just the 3rd round of the League Cup, it will be a bigger crowd than has been seen at the Sty for over 30 years. It is your biggest game in 4 years. It isn't even our biggest game in 4 days.[/b][/i]
Enough said ?
Heh-Heh! - and very true!!.
