Bit early I suppose, but 8)
Championship
Sunday 29 October, 12:00
St. Andrew's, Birmingham
Come on Villa.
-
Put the opposition under pressure like we did on Saturday and we win. Sit back and invite pressure then we give them the game they want.
-
I would make a couple of changes from Saturday for our trip across the city. I would go with a three man midfield with Onomah dropping a bit deeper alongside Hourihane and Whelan just in front of the back four. They are quite direct so we might need someone sitting in front of the defence and might have even gone for Jedinak if he was match fit.
Horses for courses selection, but I would bring Davis in for Kodjia as well. Kodjia got bullied there last season and spent most of the game on the floor. Davis is far more of a physical presence and I would definitely start him. Adomah definitely plays at the moment for me, so it would be between Snodgrass and Kodjia for the remaining wide spot.
-
Whenever we try to sit back away from home, we fuck it up.
Attack the bastards.
Small Heath 1
(Adams 37)
Villa 6
(Snodgrass 12, Kodjia 43, 88, 90, Adomah 48, Hourihane 85).
-
cdbullyweefan - quite a conservative prediction there.
-
Blues 1 (Francis)
Villa 4 (Cowans, Little x 2, Gray)
-
Comfortable 3-0 win for the Villa......
-
I have a good feeling about this one, they are due a tonking from us and I think they will get one.
7-0 Terry, Kodjia, Adoma hattrick, and two late goals from Gabby when he comes on as a substitute.
-
Attack, attack, attack, attack, attack. 0-2 win and we move on, nothing to see
-
Get into them and f**k them off
I think if we take the game to them then there's no reason we can't win this one. We're the Villa and they're the unmentionables. The footballing equivalent of the Scottish play being mentioned in theatre.
-
surely we are going to drag Gabby back for this one, regardless of injury or not.
Isn't that the law ?

Wouldn't be the worst idea to have him on the bench. Even if it's to use him as a lightning rod for abuse every time he warms up – takes a bit of pressure off the team on the pitch.
-
Them 0-3 Villa (Kodjia 37, Snodgrass 82, Hourihane 86)
Keeping right on as always.
-
1-6 Villa
Kodjia (2)
Adomah (2)
Onomah
Davis
Hourihane
-
1-1 same as last year as Bruce loses his bottle. Snodgrass for us, same bloke I've probably never heard of soon to have a 'Legends Lounge' named in his honour for them.
-
Small Heath 0 Aston Villa 2 come on Villa boys.
-
Buzzing for this, hopefully the away end is bouncing this year, last year we were like church mice.
SOTC
-
1-7
Kodjia
Albert
Snodgrass
Davis
Hourihane
Terry
Chester
Hutton
-
0-0. I genuinly can't remember us playing well there in my years as a football fan.
-
Birmingham 0 Aston Villa 3
Mind The Gap You F*****s
-
One nil to us in a tense yet poor match
-
Any sort of win will do. Just worried that Bruce will set out to keep it tight as he tries at wolves and we come unstuck. Hate the match as you just know they will go up to 5th gear
-
just any type of win please...
UTV
The Doc
-
as long as they get 0
-
Draw. Will play not to lose. 1-1
-
1-7
Kodjia
Albert
Snodgrass
Davis
Hourihane
Terry
Chester
Hutton
Which one is scoring the own goal?
-
They have a Davis, too.
-
Scrappy game, 0-1 or 1-2 to us.
-
I dreamt about 4 weeks ago that we won this 1-0 with a late Gabby winner.
Hope I'm wrong and we tonk them.
-
They have a Davis, too.
Is that the twat who ran the length of the pitch to celebrate in front of us last season?
-
I don't know. I only know his name because it's the same as the Brexit Secretary.
-
So both sh*t in their field of employment.
-
1-0 Kevin Richardson
-
If there is any justice in this world we will crush them like the dogs they are. 0-1 villa.
-
0-4
Kodjia hat trick
Adomah
Or
1-1
We score first and shit ourselves and try to defend a 1-0.
Probably the second one.
-
4th official on Sunday is Jeremy Simpson, the useless ref from the Bolton game....can imagine if it goes off betw the benches he won’t have a clue :-)
-
I honestly think we should bring Gabby on at some point.
-
The Onegoalayearagainstthem factor.
-
Step up Gabby...OGAYAT ! OGAYAT !
-
A straight forward 2-0 win thank you Bruce.
-
I honestly think we should bring Gabby on at some point.
Why? He is not due another goal till April so save him for the return match. No need to overplay him.
-
Defeat is not an option.
2-0 to Villa
-
Good will hopefully prevail over evil and all will be well with the world.
-
1-7
Kodjia
Albert
Snodgrass
Davis
Hourihane
Terry
Chester
Hutton
I would so love to see Hutton score the winner. Exactly the type of player you want on your side in a local derby.
Did the Rags give us all of the Gabriel Agbonlahor Stand?
-
We get 2100.
-
Away win. Think of a number.
-
We get 2100.
Nah, we might score 5 or 6 but I doubt we'll stick four figures past them even with their defence.

Aye aye Gregnash is here.
Negative nelly.
-
0-0. I genuinly can't remember us playing well there in my years as a football fan.
Yep even when we were regularly winning there under MON it was only ever by a single goal and in the last 5 minutes. Was our last win there by 2 goals in the 80s?
This will be tight. I hope we have enough for a 2-1 win but wouldn't be surprised if it's another draw. SHA are poor but they are decent at home, it's their hopeless away form that has them where they are in the league.
They do have plenty of pace upfront so can see our defence getting caught out at some stage so it's vital SB actually tells the team to attack in a big game for once.
-
To be fair, I think we have always been decent value for our single goal wins. Both in the games under MON and the two legs on our way to winning the cup in 1993/1994. Also last season at Villa Park was a deserved win. The last time I remember beating them by more than one goal at the sty was the first leg of the cup in 1988. Gage and Andy Gray MkII both scored decent goals that night if I remember right.
-
Could never see a bloody thing when I visited that shit hole, just got caught up in the atmosphere.
So no idea if we played well or not.
-
I think I'd play Davis ahead of Kodjia for this one, but I'd be surprised if Bruce does
Otherwise unchanged
-
I suspect a draw, however bad Small Heath are they will raise their game after being harangued by drooling idiots for weeks, reminding them about the club's raison d'etre.
1-1
-
1-3 to the Villa. Terry. Kodjia. Davis. No idea who plays for them.
-
0-1 Albert
-

Too defensive. Our wins at Barnsley and Burton were both achieved playing two up front. If we don't play to attack away from home, we don't win.
-
I'd stick with the team that started on Saturday. Like someone else has already said, they're not that bad at home and anyway the three forwards plus Onomah and Hourihane breaking into the box should be enough of a goal threat.
-
I'd like to think he'll play two up top but I think he might err on the side of caution and go with just Kodjia. As cdbullyweefan says we're far better when being attack minded.
0-2 Goals from Snodgrass and a cardboard cutout of Gabby.
-

As I said in an earlier post, I would as well. Kodjia got roughed up there last year and to be honest looked like he didn't really fancy the physical battle. I would look to shore up the midfield in the early stages and would start with three in there as well.
-
When was the last time we won an away match playing 4-5-1? I think it worked on Saturday as Fulham, being the away side, were happy to allow us possession. When we are away from home playing one up front just sees us become too negative. Get two up front and get at the bastards.
Davis, if fit, deserves to play, while not playing Kodjia would give them a boost.

As the Wolves match showed, playing two in midfield can result in us getting exposed and overrun in there, not that Blues are as good as Wolves though.
-
Wolves are a lot better than Small Heath. Blose are a similar quality to Barnsley and Burton... both of whom were defeated playing two up front.

As well as with the Villa, I have had some good times there with an Albion supporting mate of mine. I remember going with him three times. The first time Hopkins of all people scored the only goal late on to win it for Albion, the second time Bremner put Small Heath 1-0 up but they managed to lose the game 1-4 and my mate and I left the Albion end at the final whistle to go and join the sack the board protests on the kop. Luckily none of the angry noses noticed we were the only two people smiling while we were chanting. By the time I went with him the third time he was so convinced I was a lucky mascot for them he paid for my ticket. It all went to plan and Albion won 0-3.

We all know how 'up for it' they will be on Sunday and they will raise their level especially for us. I agree about showing attacking intent in games, but think Sunday should be taken in isolation really.
-
They'll be even more "up for it" if they see that Kodjia isn't playing. Don't try to scrape victory, we are rubbish at that. Two away wins this season... 3-0 and 4-0. We need to develop a plan for grinding out ugly one-nils away from home if we are going to get promoted. But we should stick with the tried and tested against this shower. Get two up front, and Gabby on the bench. They need to fear us.

I can see where you are coming from, but for what you might gain from playing two up front (Kodjia is still finding his way back at the moment) we lose playing two in midfield.
I think it might all be academic anyway as I can't see Bruce changing the team from last Saturday.
-
We don't lose much by deducting a midfielder if the midfielder in question in Glenn Whelan.

Kodjia has to play, he may not have scored many but with him playing it means the opposition can't push up as they have to isolate him which means the rest of our attack have more space.

Fulham had 68% possession
Fulham's goal keeper and left side of the defence has 60% possession, the rest of their team had the 8%.
-
cant see us losing this,
probably eye watering football as usual against them but who cares as long as we get the points
0-1 another Terry header
-
I’m not too complacent about this one. They did a number on Cardiff at home and they’re stiffer opponents than us on their day. I’m still hopeful for a win though
-
Agreed, I posted with bravado earlier, but I'm always worried about these games really. Hate them.
-
We don't lose much by deducting a midfielder if the midfielder in question in Glenn Whelan.
If we are going to play two in central midfield then it has to be Onomah and Hourihane.
Based on the Fulham game I'd play Whelan with Onomah and Hourihane further in front. It's not Whelan's fault previously Bruce played him out of position and he was knackered by half time. He has an eye for a pass and moved the ball quickly against Fulham - it was his first time ball that set free Onomah for the Adomah goal.
-
Whelan's experience will come in handy for a game like this.
-
Experience of what? How many times have Stoke played Port Vale in the last decade?
-

He has played international football therefore he's played in big games.
-
Lovely. So has Pele, but I wouldn't pick him for a high-intensity local derby either, because, like Whelan, he can't run anymore.
-
He can be very annoying though.

Agree. In a midfield three, he'll do the dirty work and let Hourihane and Onomah push forward and like I said, he'll be a cool head in there which may be needed.
-
It's not his head I'm worried about. His legs have gone, as Fulham's equaliser showed.
-

I agree. He did very well against Wales in that crucial game however this one is really no contest other than a psychological issue that may effect players.
-
Bruce will good for a draw, and I think we will 'achieve' that.

He only played about 15 minutes in that game.

And was knackered after three of them.

Come on, you'd love if Cairney played for us.
-
They are shit. Of course we will win.
It will be 3-1 to us.
-
It's odd when you don't live in the city and therefore don't feel the same level of tension. Sheffield United is my equivalent these days though Wednesday causes me some grief too. Though for many years Leeds were the team and I still detest them.
Back on topic I think a narrow win will come. We've got more than enough about us to get the result we need.
-
Once again the Rags are having trouble shifting their tickets. The Club have tried to bundle the Villa ticket with there next game against Brenford but they seem to only want the Cup Final ticket or no tickets at all.
There are of course many reasons they can't sell out.. all explained here. (https://www.that lot.com/read.php?1,2345548)
-
Some twonk on there has tried to claim we haven't sold out 2100 tickets ;D I remember them saying it after the game last year that we didn't sell out because there were a few empty seats in the away end. They failed to grasp that the area given to us was still 2300/2400 but we were only given 2000 tickets.
However they try and dress it up and whatever excuses they come out with, to not sell out a reduced capacity ground for the game they look forward to the most is tinpot.

Villa line up to beat the noses -
Sam Johnstone
Gabriel Agbonlahor
9 other various players

Feel dirty for clicking that link however at least I now know that it's the police's fault they can't sell out - the police want the lowest crowd possible. Also two separate posters are going on the lash Sunday morning in Digbeth but can't be arsed to go to the game.
-
I was at a wedding at the weekend and was listening in on a nose conversation. One said he was watching it n bed as it was to embarrassing and the other said he was going down The Masons. The lad who said he was off to the Masons received daggers from his Mrs who then said “its lunch at Moms Sunday”. I chuckled at that

They only have to sell 24k tickets for a ‘sell out’ yet they still can’t manage it.
What a tin pot outfit they are.

They're all big, bad, scary Zulus that's why.
-
Maybe it’s because of I’ve got bigger things to worry about, but I’m really not that bothered about this match this time around. Interesting to see how many polled a Villa win- me included- seems many others aren’t too concerned either.
Head says it’ll be a scrappy draw, but hopefully it will be a scrappy away win instead. I’m thinking a late Terry header from a set piece might see us home.
-
I just want us to win. I hate this fixture, especially the one held in the ninth circle of Hell.
-
Agreed. They are our rivals and it is a big derby I don't take that away from them. But they sure do suck any fun out of the game, win or lose.
-
I like it. It's a toe-tapper.
So is gout.
Anyway, Blues are great and the reason they can't sell out a 28,000/29,000 ground is because it is being played at midday on a Sunday, the Villa fans haven't bought enough tickets and something to do with the police blah, blah, blah. The coppers must hate them because they don't seem to have a problem with letting us have about 10,000 more people at the Villa Park fixture.

Apparently the club are messing the fans about regarding booking history and ticket/tickets entitlement. With a shambolic football club and brainless fan base I can well believe the confusion.
Half of them are still trying to work out whether KO is midnight Saturday/Sunday, midday Sunday or midnight Sunday/Monday.

Don’t forgot the clocks changing as well. That’ll fool them too.

They usually raise their game and make it a bit of a contest at their place, so a scrappy win will do. But a 4-0 humiliation would do nicely.

To be fair, it nearly bollocksed me the day of the League Cup final against Man U when they went forward. Only realised halfway down to Wembley that we were an hour behind.

I'm feeling really confident about this one 3-0 to the mighty Villa and our impressive run continues.

One of them posted on Twitter, the grammar and spelling is how he wrote it:
"Imagine all the idiot villa fans forgetting to out there clocks back sunday and missing one hr the game KRO SOTV"
He doesn't understand the concept of time that lad and that would mean our fans would be there thinking it was 12 but it would actually be 11.
-
To be fair I did something like that a couple of years ago and turned up for a 3pm game at VP at 1pm (watch was on French time) Still, I was able to find out how many blades of grass make up a football pitch while waiting.
-
I think it will be a draw but we have the better form so you never know.

I enjoyed the response from CheswickBlue to Magna's pathetic excuse for not going.
Magna 1,000,000 : This year i would rather role in from Haloween night out
CheswickBlue : If you’re over the age of 9 why are you even making a night out of Halloween?
-
To be fair to Magna he has several excuses it seems.
"Preferring haloween night out to blues was pretty tongue in cheek, im out the night before cause its a saturday and im celebrating my mate selling his house (drinks on him he said). I cant reappy afford to go the blues game this month is my issue. Payday is Monday and with Mortgage, car payment, car insurance, expenditure that ryanair still owe me for to come in to my account ive used up this month salary and not dipping unto savings foe something on tv"
-
Small time club, small time fans, can not even sell all their tickets for their biggest game of the year, smash them Villa, one nil will do, but 5 would be so much sweeter and think of all the sisters taking an arse bashing Sunday tea time. SOTC.
-
They're moaning about the booking history issue, but if any dragged their arses down other than when they play us it wouldn't be a problem.
I was working in their ticket office (which is a joke by the way, they're fucking hopeless in there) before we played them last year, and one of the girls was repeatedly trying to explain to someone's mom that she could book the ticket as she had history, but her son wouldn't be allowed to use it because her name was on it. It wasn't going well.
-
A great little exhange on there (I paraphrase)
-Don’t woory Da Vile havent sold out yet.
- Er, yes they have.

You've got to laugh. You'd think they'd learn to pick their battles, taking a pop at our away support is like the caretaker of the original Crystal Palace throwing rocks at passers by.
-
I'd put Gabby on the bench regardless of fitness just to intimidate them.

Just make sure he spends the whole second half warming up.
-
A great little exhange on there (I paraphrase)
-Don’t woory Da Vile havent sold out yet.
- Er, yes they have.
What planet are they on? Have they seen our away followings over the past couple of seasons? Do they honestly believe we would struggle to sell 2,000 tickets for a game just across the city?
-

Yes however don't forget some of our lot sing "shot support mi'lord" towards away fans with nearly half empty Villa Park staring down at us. So we all have them.
-
Not going to the game, and I won’t go again until my youngest is 18. After the Kevin Phillips winner game my wife picked me up and we dodged their finest throwing bricks at any car that had Villa Fans in showing colours with my then toddlers in the car. I promised then that while we had little uns I wouldn’t go there again, and at the time didn’t think we’d be playing them much anyway. So this will be the first game home and away that I’ve missed since we played em away last time pretty much. After Wolves away the other week I know it’s some of us as well so I don’t regret not going.
On the pitch, in the same way that Scotland occasionally fluke a win against England at rugby they are due a win, but I thought that every time Man U came to Villa Park. Treat it like we did Burton and Barnsley, who are better teams than them and certainly not as we treated Wolves, then they are due another thrashing from us so I predict a comfortable 3-0 win. Minimum.
-
I'd put Gabby on the bench regardless of fitness just to intimidate them.
I’m pretty sure that’s the plan anyway.
-
we know Gabby ain’t no good but they shit their pants at the sight of him
it’s the only game where you don’t mind him getting a go
-
They're moaning about the booking history issue, but if any dragged their arses down other than when they play us it wouldn't be a problem.
I was working in their ticket office (which is a joke by the way, they're fucking hopeless in there) before we played them last year, and one of the girls was repeatedly trying to explain to someone's mom that she could book the ticket as she had history, but her son wouldn't be allowed to use it because her name was on it. It wasn't going well.
The laughable thing is though is that because of the police reduced capacity thing they only have to shift less than 24k tickets to achieve a ‘sell out’ yet they can’t even manage that. They’ve surely got around 12k season ticket holders anyway so there could only ever be another 12k tickets maximum on sale in the first place.
They truly are a laughable tinpot outfit.
-
Always laugh at just how frightened they are of him, even now. I really don't like what Gabbys become, but i'll never be able to hate him after the memories he's given me. I think if most people had the choice they'd want him to score a winner on Sunday just for the sheer comedy value and their reaction.
-

Thought exactly the same myself.
-
Regardless of th rivalry, if we want promotion this is a game we should be counting the points from. I hope Bruce isn’t too negative although I expect lots of bookings and a scrappy game. Nothing unusual there then!
-
we know Gabby ain’t no good but they shit their pants at the sight of him

As long as it's the penultimate time he gets a go.
-
Whenever we try to sit back away from home, we fuck it up.
Attack the bastards.
Small Heath 1
(Adams 37)
Villa 6
(Snodgrass 12, Kodjia 43, 88, 90, Adomah 48, Hourihane 85).
No chance, Gabby’s bound to get on the scoresheet, even though he won’t play.
-
Betfred have this as one of the Double Delight Hat trick hero games.
So if you fancy one of our lads to score first and go on to bag a second or third you could be quids in!

Bruce has pretty much said he won't be in the squad hasn't he...still injured.
-
I stand correct on this but wasn't he meant to be doubtful for the home game last season and he ended up on the bench?
-
Psychology.

Villa win. No problem.....

Do people really think SB is going to have a proper go on Sunday?
I would imagine he'll put his handbrake coach mode on and be a bit concerned about the pace SHA have upfront (look at the goal Che Adams scored v Cardiff if you think I'm making it up) and so the defence will be pushed a little deeper.
At least Onomah played well last week so we shouldn't be overrun in central midfield which was another concern of mine.
I just worry in these high pressure games he just reverts to his default mode which is defend deep and try to nick a goal which results in us barely able to construct any decent attacks as we saw at Wolves and in many away games under him.
He will know deep down if he loses this he's in big trouble again with his position despite our reasonable league position so I worry we'll set up similar to last year when we just about held onto a draw.
Hope I'm wrong of course.
-

Thanks for the heads up. Nice goal that. Lovely accurate finish.

Bruce will go for the draw but will end up with the 3 points. He's the luckiest manager in the world. Who else could be so poor for so long and still be Villa manager?*
*DOL, MON, McLeish, Lambert.. yeah, I know.

I never wanted Bruce as manager but I’ve warmed to him somewhat since. For all his links to that lot he at least has turned into something resembling a football club again, you know, winning the odd game here and there. It’s been years since we’ve won more games than we’ve lost and we’re in a decent position. He’ll take us up and he’ll have my eternal respect for that.
-
Whenever I'm asked what the score is going to be in these games, I almost always say a draw because it usually tends to be or it's won by the odd goal (apart from the wonderful 5-1).
I can see us putting 3 or 4 past them on Sunday.
-
Putting aside the fact that it's scum we're playing on Sunday and all that this fixture involves...
We're the team with promotion ambitions and class! We need the 3 points to consolidate our play-off position. We definitely need the 3 points if we're intending on automatic promotion. Come on the Villa! UTV
-

Well we turned up at that place last season with one of their ex managers,Steve Bruce.
I can't remember another one before that - maybe it's my memory.
-
They've started with the 'Vile bring 500 coaches' lark on SHA and Twitter. Those big bad Zulus forget that their club laid on 15 coaches for them last season which they filled, and more. They've been bringing 15-20+ coaches to us since the 2-2 game in '04 but that doesn't suit their agenda. They were absolute no shows at VP last season, they give it the 'we were all over town' and 'we all march to the ground' but I don't think any of us saw one of them all day other than in the ground.
-

I'm a miserable, gloomy scrote, so nagging in my head are these thoughts:
1. They are coming off the back of a bad defeat and performance so will have a point to prove.
2. Coupled with the fact that Cotterill will know the easiest way to get the rabble in the stands behind him is to beat us, so he'll have them pumped up.
3. They invariably raise their game against us/drag us down to their level.
4. Their home form recently isn't too bad (won the last two haven't they?).
But most of all -
5. Law of averages dictates that they're due a win against us.
All that said, will make it even sweeter if we do win.
UTV.

One of the reasons our club are arranging coaches is due to the fact that there are no trains running to Duddeston before kick-off.
-
Who the f-ck cares what scum are saying! Focus on the Villa!
If we press high up the pitch, as we did last week and stay strong at the back, then hopefully we will win. VTID

I've been to about 4 away games at the Sty since the fixture returned in 2002, and have never used a coach and never will.we don't need to be organised by people. Taxis, buses, drive or walk.

I sort of hope that after Saturday's results, we're out of the play off places so we have to go there and win to get back in. I don't want any negative playing for a draw nonsense.
-
That's my concern. The jury is still out on us away from home. Playing two up front would be a promising sign of intent.

I would rest Kodjia for the first 60 minutes and have him come on for Davis after he's knocked the shit out of the defenders and possibly got a couple of them booked for good measure
-
It would be a massive lift for them if they saw Kodjia was only on the bench. He's arguably the only player we've got who is a bit unpredictable and can make something out of nothing.
-
I dreamt about this match last night. I can't remember what happened though. Not sure whether that's a good or bad thing.
Anyway FTF.
-
I'm not one of Bruce's biggest fans, but even I don't think he's stupid enough to leave Kodija out and rely on someone as inexperienced as Davis, in a game like this.

it'll be the same as always when we play them, they'll kick the crap out of us, we'll get little or no protection from the man in black; and maybe we will show one flash of decent football, and perhaps score.
so me , with that mind set I'm going for 4 - 1 to us.
-

For every pink balloon and flag that you wave,
While a gate is open and you gesture, so brave.
While you sit in the Holte singing Yippee i ay,
Don't forget the Witton Arms was Blue for a day.
Keep Right On versus Yippee i oh,
A great football anthem v I don't even know.
Every time that you call us obsessed,
We just fecking hate you, no more or no less.
Before he sold out and took money to switch,
Your manager, Bruce, he danced on your pitch.
Your cute little flags for the Bradford semi,
But you've won feck all now for well over twenty.
A smug, cocky club with a thick gobshite owner,
He slags off the Blues and you all get a boner.
You think that we're jealous but I promise it's pity,
We're Blue and we'll always be Birmingham City.
Weirdos
-
It might just have been me but in his pre match interview Cotterill seemed nervous. We are obviously the better team but unlike in some previous years I don't know enough about their players to know who may or may not have the character to thrive on an occasion like this.

That was a decent effort for a nose. But as everything with them it ended on a sad note.

Id have Jota or Boga over Snodgrass for the mobility
Kodja is a close one, but i really like Vassell and Adams
I wouldnt take any of their players
Myself and the bloggers had to answer a few questions prior to the derby, one was about taking a Villa player, i couldnt think of one
Picking their goalkeeper over Stockdale or Kucszsak :D
No Jota :D
fecking disgusting rag :D
They should burn down the offices :D
Villa bastards :D
feck off :D
If Ronaldo Messi and Lewandowski played for Villa, they'd believe they had three better players. They really are thick.
-
Wait.. how did Bruce "sell out" to come to us?
He was unemployed.
-
There was also a 9 year gap.
-
Yes our no mark defence contains a champions league and multiple premier league winner and a euro 2016 semi finalist.
SHA signed their left back from Oldham.
-
They seem surprised that a Newcastle supporter who played for and/or managed Gillingham, Norwich, Manchester United, Small Heath, Sheffield United, Huddersfield, Crystal Palace, Wigan, Sunderland and Hull could 'sell out' and manage the Villa. Do they expect him to bleed blue and white blood?

I hope they haven't produced too many clappers, what with them struggling to fill the Sty again for their Cup Final. It would be such a waste of their transfer budget.
They make Coventry look big time. They, we and the wider football family know the truth.
Edit: Just seen a photo of their clappers, 'The City is Blue' printed on them. I can only think the city is blue from laughing at them.

They're trying desperately on Twitter to gloss over it by sayings things like "Vile had balloons last year", "Vile sang on the steps of the Holte one time". Even they know in their heads that clappers will never be topped or forgotten though. The epitome of small time. Those big bad Zulus will be fuming as clappers don't go well with their hard men reputation (in their own heads).

They've opened up the upper tier above us today 'due to demand'. Demand ffs. That means they've proabably sold about 22k-23k home tickets.

Smash the feckers, grew up in Kings Heath were there is plenty of Villa, especially in the old St. Dunstans Club, has to listen to the bull shit for many years. South Birmingham lots of Villa, North Birmingham no blues. The City is ours....😀

Relative positions in the League are now so different to what they were last season.

We've got no chance with all those happy-clappers. Proper Peaky Blinders that is.

-
I haven't lived in the Midlands for a long time but I still hate them with a passion and hope that we put them firmly in their place; their place being along with all the other Blues - in the bin. Although I come from a supposedly-blue part of the area, there were plenty Villa when I grew up: along with Elmdon Reds, there was a good representation of Villa and some noses. Very few bitters.
People up here seem surprised at my venom toward our noisy neighbours, and I can't really explain why I dislike them so much: I just want to smash them every time we cross their path.
-
I hate the way they make me feel, in all honesty why should we care about them?
-

Never understand people who say they don't care about them. It would be great to ignore them and not give them a thought but I can't. I can't stand the bastards. To be honest I don't really know many of their players compared to the days of Savage, Dugarry, Horsfield etc when I hated their players aswell. It's their fans, they live on another planet, believe their own bollocks and spin the truth to suit whatever their agenda is. If we didn't care about them and didn't have a mutual rival we would be like Walsall, Coventry, Reading etc who haven't got a proper derby game.
I don't mind admitting my stomach is in knots already and the thought of losing tomorrow makes me feel sick. I'm not too cool to admit I detest the trampy wankers. Up The Villa.
-
We'd still have a proper derby game with Albion. Who are also small time Villa obsessed twats. For many Villa fans the bitters are our big derby game.

Nah. Compare the atmosphere at Villa v Albion games to Villa v Small Heath. The only good atmosphere we've had against Albion was the cup game. When we play Small Heath you can feel it in the air, it's different.
-
It's nasty.
-
Plenty of Albion games have a good atmosphere, some not so much, same as sha games. The 0-0 at VP against sha where the only memorable thing was Bannan challenging Zigic for a header was a wank atmosphere as an example. Just because sha is the big one for you doesn't mean it is for everyone.
-
Fair point.
See for me I enjoy telling the Albion fans at every opportunity that I couldn't give a shiny shit about them and I only hate Small Heath. That winds them up more.
Anyway back to the match thread. I just hope we go and attack, if we do we'll win. This could be a real statement to the fans by Bruce and win over some doubters if he goes there and we have a real go. If he goes there and sets us up negatively and scared to lose he'll piss a lot of people off.
I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt. 0-3 win, Terry first goal.
-
I hate the way they make me feel, in all honesty why should we care about them?
Never understand people who say they don't care about them. It would be great to ignore them and not give them a thought but I can't. I can't stand the bastards. To be honest I don't really know many of their players compared to the days of Savage, Dugarry, Horsfield etc when I hated their players aswell. It's their fans, they live on another planet, believe their own bollocks and spin the truth to suit whatever their agenda is. If we didn't care about them and didn't have a mutual rival we would be like Walsall, Coventry, Reading etc who haven't got a proper derby game.
I don't mind admitting my stomach is in knots already and the thought of losing tomorrow makes me feel sick. I'm not too cool to admit I detest the trampy wankers. Up The Villa.
I'm not to partial to them either. UTV
-
No other Midlands derby for us comes close to this one. Villa v Blues dwarfs any of the others. It’s pure hatred on both sides.
-
I don't think they will bully or outfight us; this was addressed at the Barnsley game, and we have players like Chester and Terry, who have now clicked, Hutton, Snodgrass, Whelan and Kodge, none of whom like to be pushed around.
I don't believe our temperament will be wrong. Bruce knows all about this game, and he will have them in the right mindset.
As far as tactics are concerned, this is our Achilles Heel under Brucey. Cotterill will try something different and have a few back up plans. SB has been found out often enough while he has been here.
Overall, we should have enough to get the job done, but as a heavy gambler, mostly in the financial markets, I would not bet on us.
-
Fucking clappers? Brilliant.
-
I can't help singing in my head,run like the clapper's,run like the clapper's.,bloody sado's.
-
Fair point.

Same. I rarely think much about West Brom. Some decent fans, some toss pots but whatever. Although we matter to them, they dont matter that much to me.
In my mind Blues are our biggest rivals and I REALLY dont want to lose against them.
-
A classic example of them forgetting things and them twisting things to suit them is the coaches subject. It's literally all I've seen from them on Twitter and a nose text me earlier to take the piss about the coaches tomorrow. A mere 6 months ago their club laid on 16 coaches which sold out for feck sake. Clueless.
-
Plenty of Albion games have a good atmosphere, some not so much, same as sha games. The 0-0 at VP against sha where the only memorable thing was Bannan challenging Zigic for a header was a wank atmosphere as an example. Just because sha is the big one for you doesn't mean it is for everyone.
I think it is partly about what part of Brum you are from. Not for everyone, but for a lot of people.
If you grew up in, say, Perry Barr, you probably grew up amongst Stripeys and - naturally - came to detest them.
I grew up the other side of the city and never, ever even met an Albion fan, so couldn't give a fuck about them. They genuinely mean no more to me than Wolves in terms of rivalry.
My area was, however, infested with noses. It was always about them in terms of the derby match.
-
To be honest I don't really know many of their players compared to the days of Savage, Dugarry, Horsfield etc when I hated their players aswell.
This.
I was thinking earlier, at least in years gone by I'd heard of four or five of their laughable players.
Look at this, though, line up from their last game.
Kuszczak
Colin
Morrison
Roberts
Grounds
Davis
Kieftenbeld
Adams
Ndoye
Maghoma
Vassell
Genuinely the only one of those I've ever heard of is the goalkeeper.
Oh and Maghoma, but even that's only because he missed a sitter against us last time we played them.

Definitely. I'd also say age plays a part. I reckon if you asked 100 that said Albion was their main one the vast majority would be 40+.
-
Recently got to know most of their players in the build up to this match and watching them lose to millwall after the villa match. Adams + Vassell biggest threat. But we have far to much for them. 0-2 Kodjia + Snodders .......
-

Agree but there are no excuses to not go at them. The biggest threat to three points is Bruce though I will predict a 2-0 Villa win. We'll be up for it and as ever, class will rise above the dross.

I moved from Erdington to Castle Bromwich at 7, and it was the first time I encountered the noses. They have been relentlessly ridiculous on every count since.

is their Vassell related to our Darius?

Kieftenbeld had a decent game against us last year, looked a very decent player.
-
Im over 40 and I hate them, hate them, hate them, just beat them, beat them, beat them.
-
You may not be familiar with the team, but you won't be able to forget them after today. 2-0 to blues. Adams will skin Terry and Kief will boss the midfield. Don't forget to bring your tissues with you.
-
Bless he's up early, nightmares?
-
He's up early Googling 'How to use a clapperboard when you have 12 fingers'.
-

So that we can wipe our feet on the way out, good idea. Aren’t your board supplying them with the clapper boards 😂
-
No nightmares, this is the one match that's worth getting up early for. I've got a couple of hours to kill before the pub opens, so I am trying to figure out how to convert a clapper board into a Millwall brick.
Keep right on, gents.
-
What a surprise, he thinks he's one of the big bad Zulus like they all do ;D
Can't wait to see your pitch covered in your Fulhamesque clappers when our 3rd goal goes in.
-
For every pink balloon and flag that you wave,
While a gate is open and you gesture, so brave.
While you sit in the Holte singing Yippee i ay,
Don't forget the Witton Arms was Blue for a day.
Keep Right On versus Yippee i oh,
A great football anthem v I don't even know.
Every time that you call us obsessed,
We just fecking hate you, no more or no less.
Before he sold out and took money to switch,
Your manager, Bruce, he danced on your pitch.
Your cute little flags for the Bradford semi,
But you've won feck all now for well over twenty.
A smug, cocky club with a thick gobshite owner,
He slags off the Blues and you all get a boner.
You think that we're jealous but I promise it's pity,
We're Blue and we'll always be Birmingham City.
Weirdos
I never knew Carol Ann Duffy was a Nose.
They've rhymed semi with twenty.
What kind of animals are these people?

Wipe that snot off the end of your nose, wipe that snot from the end, oh it’s long and green and it looks obscene wipe that snot off the end. There off to Matalan ha ha ha In a caravan Ha ha ha.

Yeah great for you Nose being up this early but what about the nurse who has to get up with you.
-
"Are you Leicester/Fulham in disguise?"

On route

In Vietnam watching this. Hate not being there. Just fucking do them boys.

Don't you know the difference between prose and poetry? However awkward the syntax is, the sentiment is in the right place.
The clapper boards are a massive own goal, no doubt about it. They will be your only crumb of comfort today, so make the most of it. Knock yourselves out.
-
Going in next hour - decent transport for once. ;D
No breaks en route, timed at 2 and a half hours. ;D
Sitting in b-in-l's seat in their 'family stand', wherever that is, our driver will spend half an hour securing his car ... in Small Heath ;D.... and join his mates in their usual.
Not been in a Cabriolet for about 20 years, I think the journey might be more fun, because I have just a little queasy feeling.
If Bruce, can do this.... I figure Blues are down. If they fluke a win...so what ?
:D

I thought the noses needed the tissues so they could w*nk themselves silly with excitement over getting to see the club they care about more than their own play live.

She doesn't mind.
She is his mum.

Looks like a 5th form attempt at couplets to me. Prose, as I'm sure you know, doesn't have structure.
Also you should use better rather than best in a comparison of two things.
We really should educate the working classes a little better.
-
If the unthinkable does happen, it will be a massive kick in the knackers. It won't define our season though, we shall just dust ourselves down, get back up and go again in the next match.
If we win, we'll be 8 points off the play offs, with another 30 odd games to play for. Be careful what you wish for.
-
All the results at the top yesterday went are way so let's take advantage today. UTV!!!!

8.36am and he’s already posted an excuse just in case they lose.

I believe the phrase you were looking for was 30 odd games to play, not 30 odd games to play for. You PLAY FOR points and PLAY games.

His mum probably put his Mickey Mouse alarm clock forward an hour last night (bless): thus he'll be even more confused than usual. Perhaps they'll let him into The Sty early so he can work out what to do with his clapper?

Quite why The Rags have gone to the expense of providing clappers is a mystery to me - since they could've instructed their wonderful REAL BRUMMIE supporters to rub their hind legs together to make a similar racket.

Mate, whilst your on, your football club is utterly wank. You must be the least impressive big city 'rival' any team could possibly have. In any comparison between the clubs you are utterly inferior, except for arsehole fans.

Villa
Absolutely disgusting aren't they.
Go and try to have a conversation with a villa fan that includes complimenting a blues player. It won't happen, its beyond their ability.
Go and try to have a conversation that talks about the successful clubs of England and see if they can refrain from mentioning themselves or talking about their history.
Go and try and take the piss out of them for their misfortune and see if they have a laugh about it, see if they self deprecate. It won't happen, it's beyond their ability.
They are a pathetic football club who were relevant when Queen Victoria had an itchy fanny, since then they've finished 6th a couple of times and won a cup from a scuffed shin. Nice one, well done, but glory doesn't wash off the arrogance, the lack of self awareness, the completely disgusting attitude that these cretins have.
You'll never seen me call villa fans inbred, because that's base and we're better than that. A villa fan is more than 12 fingered simpleton like some fans suggest.
A villa fan is the sort of bloke who's wife has an affair, it's the sort of bloke who does buy to let and rips off the innocents, a villa fan is someone who complains about the temperature in a restaurant, he's the sort of bloke who parks over two spaces to protect his Audi. A villa fan cheats at golf. A villa fan watched his wife get fecked by a bull.
A villa fan is a fanny. Someone who can't handle a proper life. Someone who can't handle a bit of character.
Thank feck we're better than that eh. Thank feck we're above that.
Our team is shit at football but I wouldn't swap them for the world. Neither the memories or the future. None of it.

2hrs before kick off and they still haven’t sold out their huge 23,500 home tickets.
They must have around 12k season ticket holders which leaves around 10 or 11k tickets to be sold for their biggest game of the season, yet they can’t manage it.
And they claim, “This City is Blue” don’t they? :)

Our team is shit at football but I wouldn't swap them for the world. Neither the memories or the future. None of it.

2hrs before kick off and they still haven’t sold out their huge 23,500 home tickets.
They must have around 12k season ticket holders which leaves around 10 or 11k tickets to be sold for their biggest game of the season, yet they can’t manage it.
And they claim, “This City is Blue” don’t they? :)
And you could probably name at least a dozen pubs that will be full of them watching the match.

This is marvellous. Your typical Nose on SHA... ;D
Villa
Absolutely disgusting aren't they.
Go and try to have a conversation with a villa fan that includes complimenting a blues player. It won't happen, its beyond their ability.
Go and try to have a conversation that talks about the successful clubs of England and see if they can refrain from mentioning themselves or talking about their history.
Go and try and take the piss out of them for their misfortune and see if they have a laugh about it, see if they self deprecate. It won't happen, it's beyond their ability.
They are a pathetic football club who were relevant when Queen Victoria had an itchy fanny, since then they've finished 6th a couple of times and won a cup from a scuffed shin. Nice one, well done, but glory doesn't wash off the arrogance, the lack of self awareness, the completely disgusting attitude that these cretins have.
You'll never seen me call villa fans inbred, because that's base and we're better than that. A villa fan is more than 12 fingered simpleton like some fans suggest.
A villa fan is the sort of bloke who's wife has an affair, it's the sort of bloke who does buy to let and rips off the innocents, a villa fan is someone who complains about the temperature in a restaurant, he's the sort of bloke who parks over two spaces to protect his Audi. A villa fan cheats at golf. A villa fan watched his wife get fecked by a bull.

There's a new dictionary definition of 'obsesssion' - "Joining another club's forum and posting at 5.30am".
I came on here because my cousins and uncles on the dark side won't answer their phones. I know they must be worried, when I don't hear a dickie bird from them.
What about your sister, is she looking after the kids today?
-
A Villa fan cheats at golf. Superb
-
HA's uncles, your nephew's a tw-t!!
I'm surprised you called yourself happy abode and not happy clapper!
It's embarrassing that your club doesn't trust it's own support to create an atmosphere on derby day!
sotc!

It's no doubt based on the assumption that Villa-supporting golfers don't hold their clubs at "the knobbly end"; and drive golf buggies with "them strange-shaped (i.e. round) wheels". ;)

They're probably having a lie in. It's not Christmas day for them.
The black sheep of the family have been as quiet as church mice, since Friday. The silence is deafening.
I woke up feeling fresh and looking forward to the day ahead. Hand on heart, how many of you lot can say the same?

He's spent over 3 and a half hours logged on to a Villa forum. Lived up to pretty much every stereotype. And proved this correct.
They live and breathe Aston Villa as much as we do, because without us every single one of them knows they're nothing. We are everything to them.

That fact that you've taken the trouble to log onto a Villa forum says all you need to know. The obsession is still strong and it's hilarious.
-
1-2 win for the Villa. Snodgrass and Chester to score. That will do me.
-
My head says a dull 1-1 same as last year. They'll raise their game as always and that'll mean Bruce will go in to his shell.
My heart says please lets bury these tinpot wankers today.

0-6 the villa and the kip roof to fall down

Straight on the defensive, that's O.K. You don't have to answer the question, it's fine.

Post no 11 on a Villa Forum. Obsessed.

A better scenario is 0-3 Villa with the 3rd in the 89th minute. The Sty dwellers invade the pitch causing the Ref to take off the players and abandoned the match. Villa awarded the game and Blose given a 10 point deduction.
And the kop roof falls down.

He's right though. You hate us more than you love yourselves. That fact that you're on here proves it really. You're just too dim too see it.

I'm fairly indifferent, Albion is the big derby for a lot of us. And that kills you.
It's not defensive pointing out that you are obsessed with Villa and have been logged on here for 3 hours and 50 mins, it's factual.
-
Hopefully we get a win and I’m not bothered whether it’s in style etc... just a win please.
Then Happy Commode will be a little less happy.

I have a confession. I think I'm the Villa fan that nose was talking about that cheats at golf. Sorry everyone. I don't actually play golf but did have a game of pitch and putt in Cornwall a couple of months ago. I lost 4 balls during the proceedings but only went back to pay for 3 of them as the 4th was at the last hole and, frankly, I couldn't be arsed to go back in.
Sorry if I've brought Villa fans into disrepute. I did leave a decent tip at the cafe afterwards.

Don't beat yourself up Malc. In the spirit of sharing and solidarity I should probably own up to handling my ball during pitch and putt at the Longmynd Hotel in Church Stretton in 1989. It was in a bit of a tuft and I was worried about it ricocheting off into the car park and denting a Nissan, but nonetheless my brother didn't spot me doing it and it was blatant cheating.
So you're not alone. Maybe that Nose has hit the nail on the head after all. Maybe they know us better than we think. The shame.
-
Just hope Bruce approaches this game with a positive attitude. If he gets us to retreat into our she'll at anytime then we can write the game off.
-
Albion is the big derby for me (coming from Smethwick).
I took my mate (Albion fan) to a Blues vs Albion game in the 90s as he was in a wheelchair after a knee operation. Both sets of fans were singing about how they hated villa more than the other throughout the game. Ridiculous.

I bet there's loads of them giving it large in the Mason's right now. God forbid they go to a match 6 miles down the road. They don't change.

Awake at 5.30am, to try to contact Villa fans, by whatever means possible, you really couldn't make it up. Borderline maniacal, shame their love for their club isn't as strong as they might be able to get a decent crowd from time to time.
They're only there to see the Villa again.

It's a bit difficult to look forward to a game against Birmingham. I feel ok, but by kick off, I'll feel a bit nervous, slightly more than other games. Here's why;
The sheer hatred from their fans, the thought of the horrific aggressive gloating if they win, the searching for the smallest of reasons to suggest they're better, the awful things their fans write about us and our club...I could go on and on. I find it all depressing and ridiculous. And to top it off, in a place where I enjoy interacting with fellow Villa fans, a Birmingham fan has decided to register and post. I'd never do such a thing on a Birmingham fan site.
The mind boggles.
Enjoy your day Happy Abode. You've ruined mine, temporarily.
Now on to the match. I hope we win of course.
