Can't decide whether it's sad or complimentary that so many fans of our neighbours' clubs are more obsessed with us than they are with their own club

As ever the back-handed compliments are the most sincere. Small Heath live and breath Aston Villa  we mean so much to their fans it must hurt them deep down.
Roll on this time next year and perhaps we'll be reminding them that our low points are few and far between, and that we'll always be this region's number one club, and that just kills them.

I think that kills the Albion obsessives more.  Blues fans just have an irrational hatred of us, but I think the bitters see themselves as genuine competition to us.  Knowing that they never will be really grates with them, whereas Blues fans seem to promote an underdog tag.

Best story about Brady is the true one about the time she met Doug at a function at the Grand Hotel.  She brassed herself into Doug's group and he asked her "and what do you do?"  To which our nymphette replied "I am with City". HDE smiled benignly (he knew perfectly well who she was) and replied "Ah, you work for the Council".

Just when you think Doug can't make you smile. Good work.

Look at the barely concealed glee here. Twats.

''Fixtures for the new Championship season will be released in little more than a month’s time on Wednesday, June 22.

That’s a week after the top-flight fixtures are announced.

So from June 22, you can start planning your trips to the new grounds you haven’t visited before, for example Burton Albion’s Pirelli Stadium and Rotherham United’s New York Stadium.''

Piss taking bastards.

Fuck em. I'm looking forward to a spell in the championship. It's a bit like when your flight is diverted to somewhere so so for a few hours. You get off the plane, browse the duty free, hit the airport bar, then when the time comes you get on the plane home no worse off for the experience.

I just hope we start to get the PR right and remember what a bunch of bastards they have been with us at this low ebb. I wouldn't want them riding our coat tails as we come back.

Fucking idiots.

Steve Wollaston again.  The same clown who wrote the article last year on why Benteke should move to Liverpool.  Is he a nose or a bitter?
