Your Feelings towards Baggies

[ADVILLAFAN]

And Birmingham!

And Zulus!

[Holtenderinthesky]

they are scum pure & simple.

Steady on mate.

If my Dad had'nt brought up me and my brother to support Villa, i may well have been 'a Baggie' considering i live in Albion Territory. The very thought sends a shiver down my spine.

[Mister E]

Our traditional rivals ... don't have much feeling for them. It's maybe because I've been out of the region for a while, but Leeds, Barcodes, Spppurrrs, Redscouse and a few others boil my piss somewhat more than the Boggies. Of course, ManUre and the Dogsh*t are at the top of the list.

I first encountered Albion fans when we played them in the FA Cup in about '97. Me and my sis got on the train at Walsall and when we got to Bescot we were inundated with Tesco Bags. They took a shine to my sister which saved us a lot of nasty flack probably but they didn't seem altogether bad. They've always struck me as a bit of a joke, like they don't really care what level they are as long as they're existing.

Historical similarities for me. Consequently, I have a number of Baggie supporting relatives. The last funeral I went to was one of said relatives. After any interaction with them, I end up feeling conflicted. Grateful that I'm not them and mildly ashamed I feel that way.

[The Left Side]

I prefer them to the rags but even that is on a scale of dislike to loathe

[russon]

Absolutely hate them, even more than Blues. One size fits all club who want to be the plucky underdogs punching above their weight one minute and the fine upstanding traditional club of yesteryear to be respected alongside other big clubs the next. Ideas way above their station. Fans who make Geordies look modest about how wonderful their support is. Ally Brown who cut down a player in his prime at a time I idolised Villa. Celebrity fans who perpetuate their myths. Boing bloody boing. Smugness about the club that permeates through to every supporters fingertips when they have bugger-all to be smug about. They're small time, no more significant than a Coventry City or Swindon Town in the footballing world yet believe so much more about themselves. They haven't done anything of trophy value for a million years and yo-yo between divisions like a haw's drawers. Well my yo yo at school was crap, every time I let the string go the thing would crash to the floor and dangle in the air like a corpse on the end of a noose. This is my fervent hope for Albion, that they go down, go down again and again and again until the club goes out of business, Morrisons buy the ground, flatten it, and build a store where I can go every week the morning after a vindaloo and curl one down in the bogs on the very spot where their home end once was. I'd buy bunting on the way out and affix it above the entrance before driving off playing Theme From A Silent Movie cranked up to 11. Up yours Albion.

Good one...Rant of the month.

Good one...Rant of the month.

feel better for it thank you Andy, have amended the Brown/Robertson typo now I've calmed down

[cdbearsfan]

So Russon, do you like them or not?

[lordmcgrath5]

Can't totally identify with all the sentiments, but I enjoyed that Russon, I really did 

[dave.woodhall]

Not bad for a beginner. I've seen better.

[Michel Sibble]

A better class of thugs.
