Well at least we now know when Gabby will next put the ball in the net.

Shit on the city

We are better than that. No need for us to sing this.

I'm not, it's called banter, and why is everyone so negative about this game.
This is the game  I miss every year, why would we not want to play our local small Heath rivals.

Let's not get our knickers wet.They never play up at VP most of them will come by coach and they will lucky to get 2,000 tickets.
As for on the pitch the team should be too good for them.

Unless the police step in we have to give them a minimum of 10%, so 4,200. 

[Jimbo]

It's a game we can't really win, like having a fight with a child. If we lose, though, it's fucking embarrassing and bad for our self esteem.

I think the negativity comes from the thought of possibly losing to them and the potential for trouble - though I think we'll win and the police will surely have learnt from the Albion cup game

You'd have thought the police would have learnt from the LC QF. And the Monday night games and so on. But still it goes on.

I hate having to to play them. It makes me feel ill. But if we must play them then we must also sing "shit on the city."

To the nearest hundred, how many reasons do you want?

[DeKuip]

At least it's a few days before the pitch gets cut up by the egg chasers and not a few days after.

[Des Little]

I hate playing them like everyone else. However I also love beating them like everyone else. So let's do both.

[cdbearsfan]

Like many, I'd be happy to never play them again. But, it's a home game against a non-Premier League club in a cup we should be aiming to win.

Could've been worse.

[tomd2103]

Just had a feeling we were going to get them.  The chance to beat the region's two biggest Villa obsessives in the same month?  Why not!

I love the derby games, the songs and the proper rivalry that goes with it. It's what makes football exciting.

There is no point living without fear in the middle of the road. If you don't want local rivals and all that goes with it, then you end up being some utterly pointless club like Reading. Fuck that.
