sha v Aston Villa Pre Match thread

[Richard E]

the comedy gold is literally a full page post saying we are obsessed with them

oh and the fact they regularly sit in the holte and celebrate wildly

They haven't won at Villa Park since 2003 so god knows what it is they sit there celebrating.

Wasn't it 2004 when they won 2 1 they last won at VP? That game was awful, felt like we'd lost before a ball was kicked.

I'd forgotten about that one. In fact I still can't remember anything about it now.

[Lambert and Payne]

It was so pathetic, so limp and lacklustre that I'll never forget it. Only one team was ever going to win that day, even the atmosphere was shite.

Just seen a mate's timeline on Facebook and one of the contributors deploys the acronym KRO in the same way most people might use a full stop. They're beyond parody.

Was at local club last Sunday and they we're talking themselves up about Sunday when I walked in.

"Oh here's one of them'

Me - "Getting ready for your cup final then"?

"When was the last time you was in a cup final"

Me - "Last year, against Arsenal"

"You didn't win though did you and we beat Arsenal in our last one"

Me - "You asked me when was the last time we were in a cup final. So how was it when you won? It's a while ago now isn't it?

"I didn't goo"

Me - "You do surprise me. Are you going next week"?

"No, can't get a ticket"

Me - "You haven't sold out yet"

Oh, i'll watch it down here"

Thick twats, I hope we batter them.

I've just been out training with my U12's and invited an FA guy to come along and help out because of his vast experience.

Turns out he's a Bluenose! To be fair, he's a good lad and we had a long chat about things - he said he'd take a draw now and said they're much more fearful of us now we have SB in charge.

He had a couple of little digs during the session (my lad had his Villa shirt on) - I countered at the end when he said to the boys he also scouted for Blues by saying it didn't matter how bad they'd played tonight, they'd probably still get a trial for a club like that!

We were completely outplayed that day, worse than the 0-2 the year before. That night the pressure got to our players and the sendings off turned it. The 1-2 in 2004 though was piss poor. Even when we scored late on to make it 1-2 nobody believed we'd get anything, we were garbage that day.

The worst home game against them for me is still the 2-2 though. Still get shudders about that Stern John goal and I'll never forget the collective gasp from the Holte (well the few thousand of us in there, there were at least 10,000 noses in there of course) when the ball fell to him.

[PeterWithe]

The 1-2 game seems to have slipped my mind, who scored?

[PeterWithesShin]

Didn't Barry score in the 2004 game and you could clearly see him saying something along the lines of "it's too fucking late" as he ran back for the KO?

[Richard E]

The 1-2 game seems to have slipped my mind, who scored?

David Dunn and Clinton Moron for them. Barry for us.

[LeeB]

The 1-2 game seems to have slipped my mind, who scored?

Sorensen virtually chucking the ball in that time.
I can only think of Forsell's header when we won 2-1 at their place as a goal of any quality they scored against us, it's all rebounds, miss hits and mistakes.

[PeterWithe]

The 1-2 game seems to have slipped my mind, who scored?

David Dunn and Clinton Moron for them. Barry for us.

Ta. No recollection of that whatsoever.

Nor me. I had to google it as I've obviously airbrushed it from my mind.

This game where Sorenson made the mistake was at the Sty though not VP.

That Small Heath Alliance site is hilarious.

Apparently we've got to have our crowds drop to sub 20,000 to be able to call ourselves proper supporters. The crayon eaters are falling over themselves to agree.

Yeah I can't work out the logic of that one either.

Thick doesn't do the bollock chain wearers justice.

I can't be arsed looking at it but would strongly fancy that the following is on there.
We're all glory hunter, followed up later with we haven't won anything for  20 years.
They are all salt of the Brummies (from places like Rubery, Redditch and Solihull), we all live in the Cotswolds. They never explain though how a city that is blue is the 14th best supported in the second division.
They are all dead hard and we are all scared of them.
They go on The Holte and home stands at VP in their thousands and make lots of noise there. Despite no one ever seeing or hearing them.
We're jealous that they have Birmingham in their name.
KRO is the bestest anthem ever and we only say Veela.
We are all arrogant for thinking we should beat them. When we do beat them it's because we spent more money.

It's the same kind of shit they've been peddling for decades in an effort to convince each other that they aren't a nothing club that has spent half its history in the lower leagues and can't even sell 23000 tickets for a derby game.

He fucked up in both games, the one at Villa Park was probably the worst of the two.
