Has No Fixed Abode been on yet to gloat about their 0-0 victory or is he too busy bragging to his uncles and cousins about it?

He'll not be seen on here again.

wouldn't his uncle and cousin be one and the same?

Although the clapper things that were thrown on the pitch were  a stupid thing to do I hope the FA see the footage of when Hourihanne was about to take a free kick and a beer bottle was removed from the pitch.

Fine them fucking scum suckers

Even Bruce has made reference to the stream of missiles chucked at Villa players today. No doubt SH will have their wrists slapped via a paltry fine from the FL/FA; the cretins throwing shit won't be identified; and justice will apparently have been served. I sincerely hope that in the very near-future, the sub-human bastards finally go out of business. Fuck 'em all.

A game typical of so many derbies over the years, plenty of commitment but little composure, that is difficult to draw many conclusions. What do have now though is bunch of players up for the fight, too often in recent years we have buckled in that type of game.Only the most short sighted would try to draw any exp wider conclusions.

Eh?

We haven't lost to this lot since I was a young man?

Unless you're referring to buckling in the Wolves game? In which case it's not "recent years", but recent weeks.

My wider conclusion would be that we're not yet capable of winning many of the big games, especially away.

If he set us up more positively and focused on our attributes in the big away games we'd win more of them. He's too bothered about the opposition like at Wolves. We showed them far too much respect and we didn't get near them all game and gave them nothing to worry about defensively.

Appalling fans. Truly, a set of moronic, knuckle dragging muppets. But, I guess we all know this already.

My old man was of the generation getting on for 6 decades ago who used to go Villa home games and when Villa were away to Blues (mainly) Albion or Wolves. He could never support the Noses as all they talked about was Villa - I suspect you could back a further 6 decades and it would have been the case.

To be fair all clubs have idiots or people who turn into idiots at games, they just seem to have a far higher proportion than almost everyone else.

I only watched on telly but it looked like the police and stewards did nothing about it.

Ain't it a poor reflection on the human race when 10''s of thousands had to be spent on policing at a football match instead it could have been spent on the NHS.

He's gone to get the best position to view their open top bus tour tomorrow.

He's editing the commemorative DVD.

Genuine question here to anyone else who was there today, why was our support so poor do you think? It was the same there last season aswell. Very little passion or noise during the game both seasons. Some trying to get songs going and a few were joining in but most just stood there. We sang more today after the game than during it. I just don't understand why you would go to Small Heath away and just stand there, especially when there's thousands of others who would go and sing their heart out.

Is it because of Bruce and the football we play? Is it because of nerves during the game? Is it because a lot of those first 2000 fans are obviously the most loyal but not necessarily the most vocal? A combination of the three?

[Clampy]

Fair result overall and on reflection a good point. First half, we were absolutley terrible and should have been behind. We looked better once Jedinak and Davis were on but as poor as we were, they still couldnt beat us and let's face it, we gave them enough chances.

Think they may have been a bit worried defensively on both occasions when their crossbar was rattled, when Terry's header missed by 2 inches and also when Kodija's header was tipped over by their keeper, all in the second half. But apart from that......
