Moral Victories. We Never Get Any Luck.

[Richard E]

If they applied this much mental agility to more productive tasks, like learning to read and write, more of them would be able to afford to go to gay.

I didn't realise that going gay was all that expensive!  Is it the designer shoes?

The wonders of auto-bloody-correct.

Jesus -

live hamster update. Located on a ledge after drilling a fourth hole. A mate lent us an endoscope type thing.

Come on Hammy, I know being a Blues fan is bad, but come down from that ledge...

I had a nose tell me this morning that if it had hit the post and gone in, they would have gone on to score 5 or 6.

Yes, if their shots had gone in and ours hadn't we would definitely have lost. We only won because we were able to make the ball go into the net rather than nearly go into the net. It's not really fair, I suppose.

Beepity beep beep beep

We went through Witton on the train after being in Digbeth all day, was quiet by then though (6.17 train) as we had an extra one in the Irish Centre then walked through the Chinese quarter to Snobs for one on the way back to New Street...City is theirs they say?..not a squeak so if they were about they were keeping their heads below the parapet.

Mmmm. The ‘city is ours chant’ was vociferously queried on Witton station as they were all heading AWAY from Birmingham.

How many points do you get for a moral victory? I've looked at the table but can't find the column.

[Border villan]

Another brilliant victory, another bag of excuses and bullshit bingo from the 70's throwbacks.

If only it had gone in - check
Drinking in town - check
They all live in Shropshire - check
The atmosphere was shit - check
Grealish cheated/should have been sent off - check
Proper Brummies - check
Financially unfair - check

Battered at Villa Park - check

I'd say it's mission accomplished. See you in another 6 months freaks.

And another excuse;
It was the refs fault that limited the moral victory. If he had sent off all those who kicked lumps out of Jack they would have lost with about 7 left on the pitch. Now that would be a moral defeat.

You've forgotten another classic:
"Our club bears the city's name!"

Just like HMP Birmingham

[Deano's Mullet]

This shit about no Villa fans in Birmingham is bollocks. Their supporters generally come from  South Birmingham. Ours come from the North Districts amongst others. They have to pass through the city centre to get to Villa Park. Ours will quite often get to Villa Park without having to pass through the city. And what, none of them life anywhere else? I see posts by London blue, Redditch Blue amongst others. Utter utter bullshit.  And drinking in town in the evening? Who generally wears a football shirt to a pub in the evening? I go back into the city centre to get a bite to eat after home games and it's full of claret and blue shirts that's been to the game. No blue tops. I see more Arsenal or Chelsea tops in New Street than I do Blues. They can't beat us on the pitch so they have to try and best us off it.

Either they're inbred with poultry or they really are as stupid as they look!

That had to change its name as well.

Agree with lots of the original post from the Bluenose regarding the game but he seems to have conveniently forgot a few things :-

1. One of the three major players they were apparently missing was very kindly loaned to them by us, on the basis that he’s about our 8th choice in midfield as he’s nowhere near good enough for us. Despite this fact, they can’t do without him. Says it all.

2. We were missing McGinn. Probably our most influential midfielder this season who runs all day long and is in great form.

3. Chester had a mare as he clearly wasn’t 100% fit but had to play as he was our only option.

4. Their second goal was scored by a player who was signed against EFL rules.
