Mancs in our stands

[nodge]

I think anyone in our stands tomorrow wearing one of those half and half scarves should be bitch slapped and then go and find the bloke who sells them and bitch slap him too.

[Percy McCarthy]

I know the bloke who sells those half-and-half scarves, we had a bit of a row once when he set up near where me and Legion where selling the fanzine. He's alright really. Villa fan too. And he's no shrinking violet himself. I did get him to fuck off up the road though I think. Remember it Lee?

Anyway, next time he came he asked if it was okay and he was so nice about it I let him off.

[Legion]

Yes, I remember it.

Those half-and-half scarves are rubbish. I've bought loads of them but after you cut the half off you don't need they start to unravel and go all raggedy along the one end. I've just thrown them all in a drawer with my 1970s scarves which unravelled and went raggedy at one end from being left out of car windows going to away games in the rain.

Half and half scarfs are only acceptable for big European games and cup finals.

i agree, and anyone who ever wants something red saying man utd next to their skin is a twat of the highest order. i got shouted down on this topic a couple of years back, but i feel stronger about it than ever.  if you are a parent and your child wants one, just say to your kid, 'no you stupid little turd, not on my fucking life!'
then carry on walking towards the ground!

The saddest half and half scarf ever was for Gillingham v Villa in the FA cup, 3-4 years ago. Bizarrely, a Gillingham chav who spent most of the game exchanging verbals with Villa fans over the divide, took off his scarf and spat on the Villa bit.

[Legion]

Half and half scarves are an abomination.

[Mister E]

My bad. It was the second one I remember I think. Was that the one where Gray cleared everyone out to head the winner from Graydon's cross?

My mate's dad jumped up and smashed his head on the roof at the back of the old Witton Lane Stand when Gray put that one in. For some reason I thought that was 75/76.

My mate's dad, Ricky Hundley, was my hero. Took us to lots of home and away games and always stuck up for himself and us if anyone looked like giving us any trouble.

Every couple of years the council would paint the garages at the front of the houses in Chelmsley, and as soon as they were dry, Ricky would paint his claret and blue again.

'Fuck the Blues and the council' he'd say.

Percy,

I think Andy Gray absolutely knocked the shit out of Jimmy Nicholl for that header you refer to. He was so hungry and determined in the air he was inspiring to teammates and fans alike.

Your dad's mate sounds brilliant!

Those were the days when the Villa vs Manure game were titantic struggles ... and then Villa would usually win.
I remember them well.

I've got one,

Villa-Bilbao, bought at the best away ever

Amen to that.

Brummie Reds are a social issue. The product of inept fathering. How can the "man" (loosest terms) look himself in the mirror and know that they're so weak of character that their progeny are a glory hunting genital wart?

They should be shunned like the social lepars they are. Never engaged in any conversation about football.

The best bit of them dripped down the inside of their mothers leg on conception.

[Chipsticks]

We had half and half scarves against Brighton in the FA Cup at VP a few years ago as well. As unnecessary as they are I suppose they make their money off tourists who are in the country for their first game.

I would have brought one at the 2010 League Cup Final if I'd seen them being sold.

[Risso]

Amen to that.

Brummie Reds - absolutely shameful.

[Nev]

Glory hunters and indeed Brummie Reds use the term "we" when referring to Newton Heath as if to convey some sort of connection to the club when in truth it's glassy eyed adulation from afar akin to that of a japanese schoolgirl.

The truth is they're despised by Yanited support from inside the M60, because they bump up the ticket prices.

It will end in tears. Look at the Leeds fan the other week. He was from Cheltenham. The product of a glory hunting father from the 70's.
