Why Are WE Hated ?

[aj2k77]

Oh and you are hated because you're a nasty little cess pit club with a shite following who haven't ever contributed anything towards football and have fans who rank as the most deluded in football.

The OP seems to be a trader in negativity...

[class-of-82]

A lot of the guys I work with in London all say they can't believe a club like ours is In the position we are and that it will be sad to see us go down

[Tokyo Sexwhale]

I expect Man U fans will be gutted at losing a guaranteed 6 points a season.

The OP washes his dinner down with liquid ecstasy if he's actually serious about Neil Warnock.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

They're a sensitive lot those Geordies, for me this was one of the funniest piss takes ever at a football match. Why they can hate us for this is beyond me.

We are the bastards in Claret and Blue.

I love them both 

Me too. Especially the first one. Where's it from?

I've spent the past 2/3 days, using my breaks, to scour other club forums.
About any reference to us, because a couple of work colleagues seem to think we are the
laughing stock of football. They ain't noses nor dogheads no idea who they support.
In fact I don't think they've ever been to any match in 10 years -
-perhaps they don't like me ? 

Anyway...... we are referenced on every bloody forum I've found so far.
Man U to Sheffield  U even.
Hartlepool and even Stevenage and Nuneaton.

And all of the cr@p I've seen is pick-ups from our sites. Records under Lambert, records about to be broken etc. All bad, and all with "jolly jape" comments by the clever supporters of BIG  clubs like the Dogheads.

I accept that we are a figure of fun to others, and one blouse forum is running a stupid thread about our demise that almost equals villa threads about their demise.
Perhaps it's time to make friends and break bread as they say ? 

It is about the "Hate" i'm concerned about.
Not just the petty jibes from our nearest rivals, but the viscious repitition of stats other fans have picked up-  from our own forums. JEEZ

I never realised we were hated

But, like Man Utd years ago we seem to have more people hate us than pity us.

At best I would have thought that we would always be a mid-table side that now and again picked up a fan or two who stuck with  us, and grew slowly.Globally.

I hate to say this, but the most common jibe / insult /comment I've read so far
--- is about us. The "fans"

We are supposed to be living in 'Victorian times' or living in the past.
We expect to be top-table because of our history

We have an owner who has sunk -  and may never recover - over £300 million in our club, and we HATE HIM.

So we, the fans who protest against him are the actual figures of fun.
The reason why we seem to be hated by other fans.

I would suggest,if you are as suicidal as I was, to use a search engine and trawl other forums.
Forget our locals - just go further afield, and see that we are hated.

WHY For Goodnss Sake ?

Why don't you go back to Small Heath. They are missing their village idiot.

It varies from club to club.

All it took for Newcastle was a daft banner, as mentioned earlier. I thought it was a bit shit at the time, but it really seems to have gotten to them, the oddballs.

Everton do seem to genuinely despise us. I think a big part of that was the green eyed monster, when we had money early in the RL era, and looked like we would take their god-given right to be pushing for the CL.  I don't recall them being as bitter before, but older fans do mention the League Cup in the 1970s as the jumping off point.

Sunderland -who on the whole- tend to be some of the better fans in the league, have had a bee in their bonnet ever since Darren Bent ditched them in 2011. They genuinely couldn't understand why a bigger club that had been pushing towards the upper end of the table for a number of years previously might have been a more attractive option than a yo yo club marooned up in a city that makes Chernobyl look plush.

Norwich= Lambert.

Leicester= Brian Little

The rest would probably be largely indifferent to us, save for the fact that for the past five years we have acted like Southampton and Cov in the 80s and 90s -doing just enough to stay up and boring everyone into submission in the process.  Liverpool and Citeh fans do seem to have a bit of time for us, weirdly. In Citeh's case, it might be in a 'There but for the grace of God go I' way.

Our local neighbours don't count. And most of them can't count. Trophies or anything else.  Wolves and Forest seem to be a bit less rabid, because they actually seem to have pride in their own clubs' achievements.

I've seen it mentioned in a few places that we are delusional, and that we don't count as a big club because of our success pre WW2.

It's an odd sort of logic, but even if we follow that train of thought, we have still won, the FA Cup, the league, the European Cup, European Super Cup and League Cup five times since then. How many 'nothing' clubs have won nine major trophies from that period to this? Since football was invented in 1992, we've finished 2nd and 4th, and had a number of consistent top six finishes, plus won two league cups. That's a record not dissimilar to those fashionable North London titans Tottingham.

I'm always delighted to know that Keown OG, Ian Wright and the rest still hold us in such high regard, but our record is still infinitely better than most of the dross in the top flight - even if you amputate the Victorian era from our history (and why would you honestly want to do that).  So fuck'em.  Fuck' em all.

I've always found that Arsenal fans of a certain vintage, on hearing that I support Villa, always nod their approval and use words like 'noble', 'classy' and 'heritage'. Consequently I've always been better disposed towards Arsenal compared to the other good teams. I had a work meeting with a fella yesterday who used all of the words above.

[Bottom Right 89]

Shame most Arsenal fans behaved like bellends after gubbing us in the Cup Final last year went down in my estimations in stark contrast to the Scousers who were a joy to spend a day out with.

As I said, it's always been the middle-aged and older ones who've recognised the cachet of Villa. We all have our knobheads.
