He can see it. We can see it. Most of civilisation can see it. Undiscovered tribes in the Amazon would be able to see it. Can Bruce?

You are pretty accurate in your match summary 'I'm not here to gloat' and lots of other teams' supporters have a soft spot for Villa (usually after they've easily beaten us).Can't believe you are disappointed that it wasn't a close game though- I'd still be in the pub after that sort of win if we had achieved it. Anyway all the best for the season, thanks for prompting a counselling session and let's see how it all goes eh?

PS Pretty civilised responses in the main, given the circumstances - well done H&Vers

Fair play to Cardiff, tore us a new arsehole, decent side, bit of pace. Good luck to them.

They'd never sell 5,000 tickets though.

Didn't they bring quite a few for a League Cup tie a few years ago?

They did. And I remember when we beat them 2-0 at our place under Tommy Docherty's reign, they were top of the league and brought a massive following.

They had the 3rd lowest away support in the league last year with an average following of 849. Suggests they jumped on the bandwaggon to see a big ground when they came to Villa Park.

I am not clear about the nuts and bolts of the social media but if we smash Cardiff in the return fixture as I am totally confident we shall, I would like to contribute to Cardiff's fanzine - yes I know not to expect an H and V - with my own I,M NOT HERE TO GLOAT BUT right down to the caps and the comma for an apostrophe.

In fairness, they've given us loads of tickets even, I understand, moving some season ticket holders to be able to accommodate us. I see that as reason to be grateful rather than an excuse to slag them off for being one of the 91 league clubs that have worse away support than us.

I think it's the 'we'll bring 5k to Villa Park later in the season if given the allocation' comment that means people need to point out that on average they take less than 1/5 of that amount to games. Although at Villa Park I'd expect them to be in the 2-3k bracket.

Oh I am grateful that we had the allocation. Looks like Bristol are moving season ticket holders for us as well.

AVH87 had it right, I wasn't slagging them per se, more the bizarre suggestion that they have good away support simply because they come in droves to the best ground at the biggest club in the league, when its dreadful everywhere else.

Or its one of their shorter away trips... we tend to forget how centrally located we are..our longest away trip is a lot shorter than a lot of other clubs.

Trolled effortlessly (and justifiably) by a Cardiff supporter and there's no real answer to him.

What a time to be alive.


On the bright side, if the season ended right now we would avoid relegation by one place.

My wife has been dealing with a guy through her work who arranges money loans for Villa players. I have asked her to get him to loan them all enough money to f**k off as far away from the club as possible.

You might have guessed I am not in a good mood tonight. I'm going to take a wild guess that I'm not the only one on here feeling that way. I think my wife is hiding all the knives and anything else I can use to harm myself with.

Having read through this entire thread, what i really want to know is, why the F**k are Villa players taking out money loans?!
