0% villa -Coventry city on the brink?

[vilan461]

girlfriend,s son had a new girlfriend 2 years ago, the first words she uttered to me were--"Villa Scum"  "we hate  Villa"
   charming young lady---still dont like her----but this is  a typical retort from their in-breds--
   sorry but can,t stand em, they really hate and despise Villa more than any other club!!!
 You ,ve got to live in the principality of Coventry to really see the hatred first hand.

Dave with respect and I do respect you , I think having lived and worked in Coventry for 30 years and known 100s of cov fans in those 30 yrs I am a bit more aware of their feelings towards villa than you are.

I suggest you visit one of their forums and offer your best wishes to them from a decent villa fan and see what kind or response you get. Let me assure you nothing said has been exaggerated.

When Crawley Town go tits up Dave Cooper won't be giving their weeping fans a big manhug. He will be letting off fire extinguishers and doing the conga

I've had a bit of that but its all been light hearted. The blokes that I know are far more interested in Leicester these days, they haven't played us for 10 years now after all.

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 go to the Godiva festival most years,and have a smack twice because of my villa tattoo.I won't be crying in my beer if they go tit's up.

Stu, did you see Leicester v cov live on BBC last season when for most of the 2nd half the cov fans were constantly chanting 'shit on the villa'?

It was commented on by many that night on this site.
Still the chant that rings round the ricoh is ' shit on the villa'- Leicester are nowhere near thought about in the way of villa.

Maybe when you've had your windows put through more than once as the other lad has had as well as me then you would take it as not light hearted banter.

Browse their websites and see what they think of us still even 10 yrs on from relegation, this was a problem in the 70s when they used to sing at school the old chimchimeney song we hate the bastards in claret and blue.-it's not a recent thing.

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.

I think i am going to be sick.What a load of old wank.

Until Crawley got their sugar-daddy they had very few fans, when the inevitable happens I will feel for those who were there when it looked like they were on their way to oblivion, I met a few of those and they are genuinely decent fans, of those who have leapt on the money-fed bandwagon, well they'll just go back to supporting Arsenal so it won't bother them.

Luckily for non-league fans, they know the score, they know there is as much fun (or more) forming a new fans club a few divisions lower.

Nice, well-thought out response there.

So what are you saying then?
Only Villa have decent fans? Coventry only have knobs as fans? All opposition fans must be hated? What?
It's only a fucking game, we really are all the same apart from wearing different colours every now and again, honest!

Do you really think if the shoe was on the other foot,we would get anybody from Coventry crying for us.There would be a public holiday and street parties would make a come back.

[eastie]

Careful bigad, the one light at the end of their tunnel is villa going down, that would be awful in the extreme.

I still have nightmares about going down to wembley with andy Blair on the train to watch their cup final with a free ticket and we had just been relegated the week before.

[Dave Cooper please]

Yes of course there would.

But in the real world there would be a load of bollocks written on the internet, a bit of piss-taking and that's about it. There will even be some sensible Coventry fans who might think that a local football club going out of business to be a bad thing, but I don't suppose you'll think that could happen, after all, all opposition fans are scum, yes?

[timeoutbigbar]

I wasn't saying from my point that ALL cov fans are like that, but in general the masses are represented by the few, and the few that i've encountered haven't given me much hope for the masses.

Dave, EVERYBODY hates to see any football club go out of business,but when a local team who have been a rival in the past goes bump a lot of people will snigger for a bit.I include myself as one of those.
