And yet again, not one lying word that he says is criticised by the press. Meanwhile, it's still open season on Randy.

Maybe because rentaquote clowns like Sullivan and Gold are useful to them on slow news days. If it wasn't for the likes of Gold, Redknapp and Whelan SSN would have to wheel out the old girl, clown and blackboard testcard some days.

Good thing is Randy doesn't care what the gutter press say where as it's important to Gold etc because that's their level.

Haven't heard anything from David/Ralph Gold for a long time. Never like those West Ham United owners.

His blast at Aston Villa owner Randy Lerner continued with him claiming that Aston Villa treated him and his fellow directors badly and subjected them to abuse from home fans because they were the former owners of Blues.

Maybe Randy singled out Sullivan and co for bad treatment as giving good treatment to someone who has done time for living off immoral earnings didn't sit well.

All they need to do next is have the Sunday Mercury release a film depicting the caricature of the prophet MacGregor singing "Shit on the Villa"...

I mean, what the actual fuck is going on with this anti-Villa shit these days? They just throw it onto the pavement so, like claret and blue pigeons we're expected to gobble up their pleb-stained bread and vomit it back up on boards like this one? We shouldn't really rise to the lazy bait these microplebs keep setting.

But seriously:
David Sullivan, fuck off.
Tony Adams, fuck off.
Robert Savageton, fuck right off.
Ian Holloway (once you're finished with the Fonz), fuck right off.
Mark Lawrenson (2-1 Saints win?), fuck off.

Anybody else and their shit-pellets in our direction can get to fuck. I am so fucking angry at these gratuitous, half-arsed pot-shots at our club, I almost want us to put 6 past Saints, just so all these listed can crawl back into their irrelevant fucking holes, muttering something about Villa being the greatest club the world has ever seen.

Aaaarrrggghhhhhh! And.....breathe.

the biggest problem i have with them is trying to work out which one i dislike the most,

its a very difficult close run thing, but i think its Gold, but then i think if its Gold that must mean Sullivan has some redeeming feature which he clearly doesnt have, and i start all over again,

its a quandary to be truthfull

I find it funny, because when the cream does rise to the top, we can flick the v's, laugh walk away and let them crawl back to their caves :)

Personally, I take pleasure in the fact that we've wound these fuckers up so much over the years.  It's to the point where they have to rant words that are so obviously bitter and ridiculous that they surely make themselves look like fools to any semi-intelligent football fan.  All this and we didn't even have to stoop to their level to do so.

Once that 'Nose poison gets into your system, there is no hope. Condemned to a life of resentful bitterness, punctuated by occasional outbursts to lessen the frustration until the cross-eyed fury returns to once again push the encumbant to the edge of insanity where the reality of their existance finally hits home and they are reduced to a quivering, Villa hating husk of a human being.

Nail on the head.
My mate reckons all bluenoses have a massive inferiority complex regarding all things Villa, and that as complexes go it is a well grounded one.

From the Birmingham Mail

ASTON Villa officials have dismissed an outburst by former Birmingham City co-owner David Sullivan who claimed he was treated “appallingly” on his last visit to Villa Park.

Sullivan, now at the helm of West Ham United alongside fellow former Blues’ director David Gold, criticised hospitality offered to visiting directors at the ground.

He said he suffered abuse over his links with the St Andrew’s club from fellow guests at the fixture in 2010 which Villa won 3-0.

In a national newspaper tirade Sullivan, who sold Blues to Carson Yeung in 2009 for a reported £81 million, said the new breed of foreign owners failed to appreciate boardroom traditions.

He said: “In the old days it was lovely. But the new brigade, you don’t see.

“The worst is Aston Villa, because they put the visiting directors in a room with the corporate home fans.


‘‘We got loads of abuse because we were the former owners of Birmingham. We were treated appallingly. I nearly did it to them in retaliation but I wasn’t prepared to stoop to their level.”

However, the claims have mystified staff at Villa Park. It is understood both club owner Randy Lerner and chief executive Paul Faulkner met Mr Sullivan’s party when they last attended Villa Park more than two years ago.

A club insider said the West Ham directors appeared to enjoy the day at Villa, which has won a host of matchday hospitality accolades.

These include Best Hospitality Experience in all Leagues and National Stadia and also the Premier League Match Day Hospitality prize. The club also Chef Team of the Year, and other prizes for its treatment of the media.

Sex-shop boss Sullivan said he had mixed-feelings about the influx of owners from abroad.

He fumed: “There are good examples of foreign ownership, Man City and Chelsea are terrific. But Randy Lerner is here to make money.”

An Aston Villa spokesman said: “As regards the specific comments made by Mr Sullivan, we have tried but can’t seem to come up with a response that reflects terribly well on us.”
