I'VE NEVER MET A NICE ASTON VILLA

Just a massive load of sour grapes. Meh.

Dismiss. Empty hatred with no basis whatsoever.

I'VE NEVER MET A NICE ASTON VILLA

What an awful match report

[The Villa Werewolf]

I've just posted the following comment. I don't suppose they will approve it:

"What an utterly bizarre match report. Your description certainly doesn't fit with the Aston Villa I know, nor with the reputation we have across the country as being a perfectly decent set of fans. Of course, we have our fair share of idiots, as does any club. In fact, a handful of Everton fans have been responsible for some of the worst, racist behaviour I've ever seen in 20 years of watching my club, but I put it down to just that - idiot individuals rather than a damning indictment of Everton Football Club.

As for this assertion:

"The aggregate impression is of a football club you wouldn't want near your dog, never mind your community."

Words fail me. They really do.

We remain the only club in the Premier League to have ever forfeited a shirt sponsorship in order to promote a children's charity, the club demonstrates a healthy respect for its tradition and heritage, and contributes to a whole host of investment and social inclusion projects in the local community.

Indeed, one of our 'shaven headed thugs', Gabriel Agbonlahor, recently made a personal donation (i.e. from his own pocket), which is believed to amount to almost a million pounds. The bastard!

All in all, this article is imbalanced, bitter, and wholly lacking in any credit whatsoever. I would expect far more from a website like Bluekipper. Incidentally, our 'crackpot' fans offered warm applause for the on-pitch presentation relating to your charitable efforts on Saturday, funny how you have neglected to mention that.

Despicable. For shame."

Excellent retort Wolfy, I hope they have the balls to publish it (wont hold my breath)

Some comments added now, mine didn't make the cut. Funny that...

I love this comment:

I sit in line with the edge of the Park End penalty area so had a great view of the Beckford 'goal'. Definitely over the line, but then we all know that now anyway.. As I think Moyes pointed out, the angle it came down off the bar suggested it'd gone in. That 'Blah blah blah m'lord' dross the Villa fans churn out goes right through me. And on the subject of their chants, a set of away fans with only one - bland - chant about their own team is very poor fare.

That's an EVERTON fan criticising our song repertoire.

their "song repetoire" pretty much consists of "handball", and not a great deal else...

not sure why, but a lot of everton fans dont like us...

tbh, i dont really have any opinion of them, as they are insignificant to me...

[Mazrim]

I cant bring myself to hate Everton because I cant bring myself to feel anything about them at all except indifference. They may wear Blue but everything about them is beige. A really shit faded greyish beige at that.

[cdbearsfan]

They've always played anti-football and they've always hated us. I'm glad the love-in some of our fans seemed to have with them is over. Can we go back to liking nice teams now, like Clyde and Athletic Bilbao, please?

[Greg N'Ash]

think a lot of the bad feeling derives from THAT game. Gotta hurt...

We won the Euroepan Cup in 1982. Everton have always thought they got cheated out of winning it in 1986.

[Billy Walker]

My hunch is that one of the reasons they don't like us is to do with history.  They make a great play of their club's history - especially when they get into debates with Liverpool fans.  They like being seen as an old club and founder members of The League - and rightfully so.  However, I genuinely feel that, deep down, they know that  there is one club that their history just does not stack up against - and that would be ours. Creators of the League, the European Cup etc. There's a fair bit of envy and bitterness behind it all.

Blimey Dave, but how is that our fault ?

We won it, they didn't.

There's something about clubs who wear blue and white and live in the shadow of much bigger, and much more famous neighbours. Their fans have an inbred bitterness, jealousy and nastiness about them.
Red Scousers must laugh their socks off every time they pass the "People's Club" signs around Goodison - it's a bit like Man city fans claiming all Mancs are City fans and Small Heath trying to tell everyone they represent Brum because they changed their name.
All have the same small-time mentality whereby they have to invent things that cannot be backed up with facts.
At least our neighbours do now have a trophy to brag about so they can forget the made-up shite.

How petty and small minded...
