Aston Villa -v- Hull City: Pre-Match Thread

[The Edge]

Because their owner's a c*** - fuck the fuckers!

Villa 3-0

I like their owner. He's right, "Hull City" is a massively unoriginal and boring name. "Hull Tigers" is much better.

Anyway, 0-0.

I feel the same about us sharing our name with Pelsall. Boring.  I'd much prefer we changed to the B6 Bullets.

Our name is superb. "Hull City" is atrocious. Not sure what there is to gain by pretending otherwise?

You started the nonsense CD.

What "nonsense"? You think "City" is a decent name for a team?

No I think football supporters deserve not to be dicked about by moronic owners who suggest changing the name of their effing football club. Hull is a city. Hull City FC. Fucks sake.

Hull actually isn't a city but Kingston upon Hull is.

Not a lot of people know that!
I can't wait for the season to kick off so people can have something that's actually important to get their knickers in a twist over.

When I was at University there I tired of Hullensians constantly insisting it was referred to as Kingston Upon Hull. Thanks for schooling me and lending your considerable argument to the table.

How boring is Real Madrid, don't start me on FC Barcelona, they couldnt even be bothered with a Real or Atletico.

It's dreadfully arrogant to suggest a fanbase who love their club just as we do should have some dickhead owner foist a new name or club colours upon them. At first I thought you were being tongue in cheek CD but when I realised you were serious by feebly defending your paperweight argument I wasn't impressed.  Have a word with yourself buddy.

If they love their club just as much as we do, I'm sure changing from a boring name to a much better one wouldn't be enough to put them off going.

It was enough to make them go fucking ballistic mate! They didn't boycott because it never happened.

I don't support Aston Villa for the name. I support them because my family does. The fact we have a lovely, unique name is warming but irrelevant. My team could have been Beige Town F.C but my links and support would have been the same. Look at you CD. Aren't you lucky to support Villa? Pity the poor generations of fucks who support Hull City.Let's applaud their 'likeable' owner for riding roughshod over these dullards and change their beloved club name.

You're taking an inference that isn't there. I've no problem with Hull City or their fans. I think they should change their name, though.

Well then you're ignorant of the real threat to their name and their fervent opposition to it. As a self confessed football fan I'm aghast you'd need to be made aware of it.

Suggestions for new club names to replace boring ones:
Arsenal Red Blaze,
Chelskovich Blue Thunder,
Manchester Red Crew,
Manchester Blue Crew,
Portsmouth Pirates,
Huddersfield Trotters
Cardiff Red Dragons.. Oh wait....

I'm aware that some of their fans don't like the proposed name change. It doesn't make me "ignorant" if I disagree with them.

In any case, it doesn't seem to be as clear cut as you make out.

Ffs roll on Saturday 2-0 to the Villa boys.

I've said I'm happy with one-word names. It's not unoriginal if it's the name of your town/city/district. So Arsenal, Chelsea or Portsmouth are fine.

I believe that Man City were the first to be called City so they can keep the name.

I'm not sure about Huddersfield. If they were the first team called Town they can keep it, otherwise they should change. Not "Trotters" though, as that's Bolton's nickname. Huddersfield Terriers or, just, "Huddersfield" would be fine.

Cardiff City should obviously change. It's a terrible name. Dragons is better, IMO.

I've already said Man Utd should change. Is anyone, seriously, trying to claim that the unbelievably generic and boring "Manchester United" is a more interesting name than "Newton Heath Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Institute"? You must be on a wind-up, if so.

We've got Cardiff away in a couple of weeks. If you want to stand in one of their pubs and tell them they should change their name to Cardiff Dragons I'll be quite happy to hold your coat.
