Would have been easy surely to let season ticket holders buy one extra seat?

Why are WBA referred to as the "bitters" ?

Remember that I'm a glory-hunting interloper who only started following Villa because of the guarantee of trophies and did not grow up immersed in the local rivalries.

They never got over the fact that they weren't quite good enough to win the league (or any other trophy for that matter) when they had a very exciting team under BFR and we did do just that under Saunders playing exciting football. That would be one of the reasons. Oh and the fact that Wolves won the League Cup at the time despite being practically bankrupt.

I am sure there are a multitude of other reasons too but I've got the ball rolling.

Seeing as Clark is one booking away from a two game ban i would not be surprised to see him  left out of this,as having him and Hutton banned from the Sunderland Game would be bad news. I expect cardboord Ron to come in (if fit)

Although their club has a decent history, it's no where near ours which was forged usually at their expense.

Infact in every facet of their existence they've never quite managed to match us.

They know it, we know it and they hate it.  But their naturally sanctimonious 'better than you' nature makes this hard from them to admit this.

 Like Coventry before, the also can't stand the fact that many of our supporters genuinely don't get obsessed about playing them. 

Quite funny really.

Read their reactions to Tuesday night and take a wild guess.

I'm as guilty as the next man of winding up Albion supporting mates after Tuesday's result but I'm starting to worry that I might have been a bit premature and should have kept my powder dry until Sunday. My default negative stance has been restored and I'm going for a draw.

And anyone making the journey back to London on Saturday night should note that there's a tube strike starting at 9pm. Effing marvellous

I particularly enjoyed watching the guy wearing the flasher mac at the beginning of the Mail video declaring Villa are a championship side, whilst nearly crying and declaring everyone and everything useless. It must have been heartbreaking watching Benteke casually side foot the pen whilst Foster crawled about on the floor like Gollum not knowing what the fuck was going on.

It's a cup game so form goes out the window, but I think we can keep the momentum going and win 2-1 again.

Why are Albion bitter and twisted? Think of them as the man with the tiny cock at the urinal. He's standing there trying to pluck up the courage to dribble some lumpy orange piss, when Mr Aston Villa steps up and hauls his cumbersome, shining flesh-hammer out of his fur-lined pants and fires a boiling, golden jet that cracks the porcelain.

Albion man looks down at his own shrivelled, wretched, warty little chicken's nipple and tries to convince himself that, although his own genitalia is smaller than his wammel's, at the very least, he's got a better personality than Villa man, who right now is having trouble stuffing his tumbling trunk of love back in his pants with both hands and a shoehorn.

Albion man spends the rest of his earthly hours either fretting about his alarming lack of a discernible winkle, or telling anyone who can decode his charming Chaucerian gobbledegook what a bounder and a cad Villa man is, while the latter is busy thrilling Albion man's wench.   

It ay fair.

Sorry if already mentioned, but no tickets on general sale, you have to have a client ref / booking history. They don't want away fans in the home end I was told. I understand that, but what if you are a Villa fan and want to go as your first match? They must be confident to sell out.

I suspect that the club would live with a couple of thousand empty seats rather than risk away fans getting in the home section

Yeah, but I could not buy a 2nd seat for a mate. The counter arguement is loss of revenue if there are empty seats...who knows, some of the first timers may spend money in the shop and want to come to another game on the back of Saturday's match.

Quite a few on here will have ref numbers DB.
I've happily passed mine on to someone else to use once I'd got my own ticket sorted.

Even in the Trinity we've had a few issues with away supporters this season, esp Arse, ManU and Chavski. I think there could be murder committed if rogue Stripeys got in so I can see why the club's being so fussy over this one.

Can someone re-post the "why we hate the baggies" essay?

Well worth a read before the game on Saturday.

Errrrrr.....is it remotely possible, just by chance, although highly unlikely I should imagine, that Villa man could also have a teeny weeny piddlestick - my mate wants to know.
