Taking time to make banners you say ...
Quote from: peter w on February 17, 2017, 02:53:55 PMNo I agree in the main. But we don't care about Gayle as he doesn't play for us. Play him/ don't play him - irrelevant to us. As for your prediction - why do you want us to reply to that? Its a predictions thread and as you've noticed the vast majority think you'll win. No one has posted any enmity towards other posters thinking you'll win. You probably will because you're currently better than us, it's at home and we're on a terrible run.Yes, there will be enmity from the tiny minority of Villa fans but for a multitude of reasons. You'll also find many more that probably like Newcastle. I find myself as one of them. I couldn't give a shit about the original banner and thought it was crap if truth be told. But by Christ you have whinged on about it. By constantly bringing it up whenever we play you are allowing the media to whip up something that isn't there.We, the fans, as you do as do all other fans, will jump to defend the 'honour' of their club. As you have post- banner and as we will when you go on about it because you really want to beat us because of it. But the point from our side of the fence is forget about it. It was a banner and hilarity from our side 8 years ago. If you lot just shrugged it off as typical football fan 'banter' and realised that you were fair game then, and were last season, then this would be parked where it belongs right at the back of the Asda car park with no-one noticing.But no you can't. Its almost as if you think you should be above being laughed at by a club that just wanted to laugh at a big club going down. It just happened that the big club was you and the club relegating the big club was us.You don't care if the league's top goalscorer is back? I would. I would care if the opposition's best striker was back from injury for our game. I didn't say I wanted anyone to reply to my predictions, I said that people have chosen to ignore the rest of the post and only react to the bit where I say that there remains some resentment towards some of your fanbase. You're fundamentally not getting this; the media bring it up to sell papers/get clicks, which stirs the pot on both sides. You seem to insist that it's only the Newcastle fans who reference this, that's not the case. Villa fans bring up Newcastle fans not letting it go, Newcastle fans bring it up too. This whole thread has been derailed because I mentioned in passing that Newcastle will be up for the game because there remains some resentment. That should have been that. But some of you are just as precious over those banners as some Newcastle fans are.I myself think it's all a bit silly and it's a fabricated rivalry that will be forgotten soon enough.

I think we have to accept that the majority of Newcastle fans aren't used to unsanitised, pre-Sky piss taking. The majority arrived with Sky and Keegan. Pre-Sky they were getting crowds as low as 9,000. And they wonder why we all laugh at them bragging about attendances.
If you want melodramatic, then check out this I've just seen on my Facebook feed.#Pushing those morons closer to relegation would mean ever more to me than getting promoted. They don't realise what this great club means to us. The Villa fans that day were utterly spiteful, vicious and shameful in what they did. My boss had to send me home from work the next day, I was that upset by it. But they say revenge is best served cold. I hope to God they get relegated, go into administration and are liquidated. Even that won't be enough to make up for what they put us through that day. I fucking hate them so much#Highly strung are our northern friends.....
What sis we do at Brentford to attract such dislike?
