sha v Aston Villa Pre Match thread

[St AustellAVFC]

It's my birthday on Sunday and it isn't going to be ruined. Dog shit 0 Villa 3.

[Lucky Eddie]

Have they sold out their end?

I'd appreciate a screenshot if anyone's got proof.

Cheers

Further; please post your derby funny pics here so we can share the love and make sure not a single nose has anything less than every drop of piss possible ripped right out of their inbred bodies.

Double cheers

Tony Butler landing in a helicopter, the Bruno goals the atrocious conditions, the nets to stop the coin throwin the 1980 2-1 and 2 penaltys and Enkleman, these are my random memory's of the Sty

Serious Q - will Bruce get a bad reception? I know they have a higher number than average of morons but surely they'll see that he did a good job for them.

Bit late to the party here, but did the ball really go in for their 'goal'? Looks to me as if it just went past the post!

Ha ha, yes, the ball went through a hole in their net. It really was a dump back then. I hate the stereotype of them being the scruffy poor club and us looking down our nose at them but they don't do themselves any favours sometimes. If the flat, peaky blinders inspired cap fits...

Another example of my generally superior attitude towards them: We got in early and there were a handful of skinheads facing us on their terrace who had a big sign expressing their plan to 'sh*t on the Villa'. Admittedly they were a bit intimidating but my main thought was 'do people still dress like that?'. It was 1987, football fashion was important so they looked totally ridiculous and '1980' to someone like me in my lemon lacoste cardigan and bright red Kickers shoes.

One I know at work, season ticket holder and a decent lad, thinks he will get a lot of stick but not from everyone.

for most of them if they get told bruce will be there they will be looking for an ageing entertainer with a big chin

Have they sold out yet? It's a good job they did 'reduce' the capacity. I thought Birmingham was all Blues and we only drew support from the leafy suburbs?

I was once told, in all seriousness, that the reason we had such big crowds was because we all had cars...

At a guess, most will acknowledge what he achieved there, but still give him grief. Some will think he's a traitor and hate him

I've just nearly choked on my dinner reading that.

Without doubt the worst fan forum on the net. The banal mumblings of half a dozen low IQ twats. The irony being that some of them aren't even from or live in Brum. The irony completely lost on them.
