0% villa -Coventry city on the brink?

[curiousorange]

Randy Lerner is the big difference. I remember reading an interview with Ranson after he took over at Cov and thinking what a bullshitter he was, full of bollocks business-speak. Like he'd swallowed an MBA syllabus and was coughing it up one chunk at a time.

Working for the NHS I see a lot of that. One thing I read today said we need to 'knock over the silos that are in front of us'.

Having worked with a fair few Cov fans over the years I always thought their attitude was one of sibling rivalry. Villa are their more successful and better looking older brother.

Silos?

Last year I went to buy a villa top at world of football but there were none on display yet the day before is seen some, I asked if they were having anymore in and was told they had them but has removed them from display because people were spitting on them- I'm sure people living here would back me up that you would not publicly wear a villa shirt in a pub or park etc , as you would be asking for risk of being punched or spat on , not someone friendly boo I don't like villa.


As a poster on earlier page said , until you live here you really do not realise the hatred towards Aston villa in this city.

I am not lighting any candles but every time a football club goes down the toilet it diminishes the game a little bit.

I hate modern football but I am finding it hard to get emotional about Coventry.

This is my internet persona  speaking. In reality, I might be dismayed and concerned by these events. Then again, I might well be cracking open the bubbly at the demise of the Felcher bastards. who knows?

Thank you wiki!  I have had many years abuse from their fans as they hate us with a passion that you wouldn't believe unless you lived in the city.

For some reason villa and our fans are referred to as the scum .

Bang on , i live 1 mile from The Ricoh---and i know loads of their fans---they really hate all things Villa,i get abuse walking down the street in a Villa shirt,getting the car ready for a game,( i cannot leave any item in the  car that is Clarert &Blue overnight, had a window smashed once)in the local ale houses,in my local club,playing cricket,used to when i played football,at work in fact every dam  where ---nah f**k em i say,yeh they might have a few decent fans but these are a very wee  number in comparison---if they go under i couldnt give a flying fig get em out get Nuneaton Town or Tamworth to take their place,

Fuck 'em.
They hate us with a passion.

And please don't give me any more of this H & V 'we're all fans together' idealistic bullshit.

Remember the first year I had a season ticket as a kid when we played them at VP their fans were ansolute c***s.  Memories of that day still stand out and i hate them with a passion.  Fuck em.

Silos?

We keep being told to stop working in silos at work, but I think they misunderstood and really mean silage.

At the risk of sounding patronsing, for the rest of the country who don't give a shit about the Midlands, I suspect they are slightly more aware/interested in Birmingham than Coventry. Hence some Coventry fans dislike of Villa.

Hello, my name is Ian. I once was called scum by a man a light blue shirt and a inflatable FA Cup.

[damon loves JT]

Welcome Ian. Does anybody else want to share?

Strangely they don't really seem to give a toss about blues even though their ground is just up the a45.

[Dave Cooper please]

If Villa are ever in this position, you can bet your life there will be Coventry forums full of bollocks about how all Villa fans are scum and that they are glad we are in the shit because there isn't a decent bloke amongst our support.
We will know that it's a bag of crap because we know that most of us are just ordinary folk who happen to support a football club, but obviously that isn't the case for any other clubs because they only have arseholes who support them, right?

Like fuck, get a grip and realise that the majority of fans of every club are just like us, your (most probably) exaggerated claims of thuggery and hatred aside.
