Does anyone know who Craig grew up supporting this year? I've lost track.

I think it's Wolves this year.

There was a great piece in When Saturday Comes years back regarding Frank McAvennie moving from West Ham to Celtic due to homesickness for Glasgow and his love of the club then moving back to West Ham due to homesickness for London and his love of the club then moving back to Celtic due to homesickness for Glasgow and his love of the club.

The bitter birds and the knuckledraggers. Two sides of the same worthless coin, a ha'penny piece, no longer in commission. United in hatred of their superior neighbour, they are little more than sad obsessives. Gardner was so obsessed with Villa, he chose to play for us - until we chose to dismiss him. Ours is the first result they look for. They would rather see us lose than win themselves. Their bitterness will eat away at them until there's nothing left. By smashing one, we smash the other, so with the league match and the FA Cup game coming up, we can kill two bitter birds with one stone - twice.

I've been on one of their forums and they're making out like they're going to take the stadium over, "they'll have to give us 10k" and the like. Wankers.

It'll be interesting to see if players are rested for the league meeting a few days earlier. Both managers will have done their jobs if they avoid relegation, so you'd expect the strongest line-ups for the league match, but I'd be holding a few back.

The rule is 15% for FA Cup games so by my rough calculations that's about 6,500.

10,000 my arse....

Playing a team managed by Pulis twice a season is usually an ordeal for us.Twice in a week doesn't bear thinking about.

I suspect we will learn the wisdom or otherwise of our latest managerial appointment during that period.

I remember when most Small Heath fans used to have a soft spot for Liverpool or Man U.

Now their "big team" is West Brom! How the shitey have fallen.

It's only a few games away DeKuip...relegation will still be there big time for both clubs.

Going on previous away followings over the last few years they'd struggle to shift 650.

You sound like you want us to lose. Just to say I told you so.

It's very funny how many of them are bleating about how hard it will be to get a ticket. Maybe if you went to games more fucking often you'd get one a lot easier. Wankers.
