Weirdly acocks green seems to be a bit of a liverpool stronghold

I've spent a lot of time there and lived there for a few months and can't recall meeting one Liverpool fan.

It's mostly Blues with a sizeable Villa minority.

What are you basing that on?

Liverpool fans living there . I know at least 5

[AGRIPPA]

B29,30,31&32 is predominantly Villa

B91 is massive villa area
B92 is 60/40 villa

I live in B92 and there are plenty of villa round here.
What I have noticed is the distinct lack of blues shirts.... Go into Solihull on a Saturday and the predominant colours are claret and blue....( some others, CHelsea/Liverpool etc but not many blues)

They are a dying breed... Believe me.... The kids don't wanna know

I live amongst loads of them in Sheldon. Still a fair few villa around though

In this corner of B92 Villa outnumber the lot from Bordesley Green 8 to 1.

I know it's a derby and 'anything can happen' but if we don't beat them we can have no excuses. Watched them tonight and they're workmanlike and nothing more, same as they were against Derby a few weeks ago. Both Ipswich and Derby were much the better team and should have won. Blose are in a false position, they haven't got the quality to maintain it.

So what your saying is they keep getting good results against teams that are better than them even though they don't deserve it,  a bit worrying

You would hope that we're better than Derby and Ipswich though.

Dunno what Cooper thinks but whenever I go through Tamworth I never fail to see one of them in a shirt, crawling around. There's a few Albion aswell lurking, never really seen many Villa.

Lichfield is much nicer and a bit more prominent of Villa, Lichfield stations are usually pretty busy when we're at home.

My mate Darren lives in Acock's Green and he is a Liverpool fan and his brother Chris, so I know two.

I think we all know people who call themselves Liverpool or Man U fans  who are from Birmingham.
Why are you debating their postcodes , I would be debating who's the biggest fuck&n glory hunter out of the shower of shites.,
