Then this lot of comedians show up and start taking the piss out people with serious illnesses.

Sorry; I didn't realise you had a serious illness - it was hard to tell.  In between shovelling sardines into your mouth can you differentiate where I've took the mickey out of cancer sufferers and where I've been abusing fickledeludedfisheatingtwats.

Cor, we'm bin telt ay we?

Arr, we know what they am dow we?

Some of us have always know what they are. I think the rest of us are realising it as well, now.

I'm quite ashamed of the way we sang through the minutes silence tbf, reeks of small time.

wtf are you talking about ?

That thing at West Ham. Villa supporters singing under the stands, not realising there was a minutes silence happening above.

Much, much worse than singing the Dambusters en masse at Old Trafford then saying "Sorry, we didn't realise".

We'm an inoffensive club, ay we?

I accept your apology. You have obviously been misunderstood. You know what you were doing though, and you got the rise you wanted. Now Fuck off

ah right....I was going to reply about what actually happened but whats the point...it's been debated on here enough and that sanctimonious shower will just believe what they want...as long as it suits them.

Anyway, just a few days away from the match and the Baggies still haven't sold all their 24,000 tickets....

[PeterWithe]

Please be rivals with us and if you continue to not give a shit we'll be jolly nasty to you.

Meh.

Firstly, when did Sophie join?  It seems to coincide with the same time as I left my ZX81 for the bloke shouting Scrap Oiiiiiiiiiron outside my gaffe in a rather annoying voice. 

Anyway, putting that aside, you appear to be suggesting that because we had the audacity to boo a player for poor performances, that somehow makes us fickle sardines to use your comical description when showing support for him and his family during the period when he was trying to come through a life threatening illness?  Is that seriously the basis of your argument?  Even assuming we did boo him, and to be honest, I can't remember Stan being singled out particularly, sure he struggled in his early years, showing our disappreciation for the the performance on the pitch, is utterly and entirely mutually exclusive from having to deal with and therefore garner support with an illness that threatens to end your life.

And are you seriously suggesting even if you could cobble an argument (get what I did there, cobble, Smethwick, nevermind), that this is the first time a football fan has ever been fickle ever?  I suppose you will be telling me next that there were no overt racists amongst everyones favourite 2nd teams playful supporters before the 'three degrees' arrived in the 70's?

If you want to come on here and have a sensible debate fine, even take the piss out of our terrible recent record at the hands of mighty Smethwick, but don't lower it to cheap, unsubstantiated shots at either fans of or the person suffering from a serious illness which is entirely divorced from anything to do with football.

I remember one of them offering to 'break my legs for me' after at game at their place once. We'd just been to Ronnie Allen's testimonial.

Yep. They've made up the story that we used to boo Petrov before he got ill, then use this story to say how fickle we are after he got sick.

Basically they're saying "You boo'd him when he was well, so why don't you boo him now that he has cancer?"

That's the logic you're dealing with here. It's crass, it's offensive, but it serves to illuminate just how low this lot are willing to go in order to get one over the Villa.

Was just thinking the same, Dave. I have come around to your way of thinking in recent times having spent time in the Black country watching Albion fans turning up at the local pub to cheer and dance if whoever we happen to be playing score.

I remember missing the first 20 minutes of a friendly at there place in the mid-90s queuing at the turnstile just trying to get into the shit hole.

Oh the irony of Albion fans bringing up the subject of singing during a minutes silence. They've conveniantly forgotten about their fans singing at Swansea during the silence for the Welsh miners who died. I seem to recall the club even had to issue an apology after they were rightly condemned throught the football world.

[dave.woodhall]

I've known a lot of Albion supporters over the years, including family members and good friends. Almost all of them, without exception, were, and are, good people and great football supporters. If everyone was like them life would be a lot better. However, amongst their support there's an element that believe when it comes to Villa and Wolves all bets are off and there's no low to which they won't sink.
