Best of luck to Villa...proper football club.

[Brazilian Villain]

Back in the day I used to post occasionally on an Everton forum called "When Skies are Grey" which was pretty good for general and football chat. No longer exists but I did come across this during the week by an Evertonian whose Kopite "friend" suggested he'd be pleased for Liverpool to reach 96 points.

Like?! There is *nothing* I like about your odious, self-important, history-rewriting, racist-supporting, piss-stained, cheating, media wankfest of a club winning so much as a throw-in! The only good thing about the current situation is that as you apparently have more fans than anyone else, then just by the law of averages it means that more than a fair share of the moaning, self-entitled, pot-hunting, wall-pushing Gobshites will die of Covid, hopefully including the classless grinning chimp of a manager, the senile, incoherent, piss-smelling tramp apparently awarding the trophy tonight, and the living epitome of everything that's putrid about your club, John fucking Aldridge.
 
So no, you can stick your 96 points up your unbearable insufferable gloating arses, and while you're at it, shove up another 39 for the poor fuckers that you murdered and then spent decades desperately trying to brush under the carpet until you were shamed into acknowledging them.

c***s to a man, the whole rancid lot.

Not as erudite as Dave W's Stripey rant but just as much feeling.

I get the impression he does not like Liverpool.

Thats why Liverpool fans call them Bitter Blues

There are Small Heath that would say something similar about us, if they could string as many words together.

That bloke's an arse.

Someone said earlier that online and real life do see different. A couple of examples

'Proper' fans still have a lot of time and respect for us, your overseas and plastics, probably not as Sky haven't told them to.

Back in 2016 before the Everton game I was stood outside Tesco waiting for RedSox and 4 or 5 typical scallies walked up to me, late teens early 20s, standard outfit of trackies etc and must admit I thought "oh shit, here we go, i'm getting too old for this." Instead they wanted to know if I thought we could still stay up and really hoped we would as we're a 'proper' club, VP is great etc. Nothing but respect for us as a club and seemed genuinely saddened at the state we were in.

I've also said I used that Rivals site back in the day and the Everton page was probably the busiest on there. They seemed to hate us with a passion, even coming on the Villa page to gloat when it was obvious the Laursen injury was bad.

[exiled on the wirral!]

I work with 10 Everton lads in my office up here and they are top lads who want us to stop up

There are a similar amount who support Liverpool and are ok until they remind me that Grealish needs to join a big club.

I know the set of supporters who I prefer.

I tend to agree

There is one particular glory-hunting Liverpool fan on my FB timeline who in real life is as nice a person as you could wish to meet. He was born and bred a Villa fan until his teenage years then fell out with his Dad and started supporting Liverpool instead in order to spite him. A few years ago he got a ST for the Villa as well as a shirt with his name on the back, supposedly so he could see Liverpool play. He has been completely unbearable this season with regards to Liverpool's achievement and now, for many bizarre reasons, wants us to be relegated. The list is endless. I asked him a question regarding the Heysel Stadium disaster when he was pontificating about the chances of us challenging for Europe next season if we stayed up. He soon shut up.

Excuse the intrusion folks but I, like many Evertonians, believe that the EPL needs Aston Villa in it. A proper club with proper supporters. A heartfelt ‘best of wishes and good luck’ to you folks for Sunday’s game...go and slap Moyes and his chirpy,cockney eel-chewers...

Yeah. Thanks a million. 😳

Good to have an Everton fan on here so don't want to upset them too much but they were a disgrace today, Bournemouth had 70% possession in first half.

It was a good job they had that good run under Big Dunc and then first month of Ancelotti as their form for other 7 months was pretty much bottom 3.

They have spent a fortune in last three years, simply something wrong with the mentality of the players they get in. Delph must've played about 5 times all season.

I can see Howe going there and them firing Ancelotti. He must be on some serious money and seems just a busted flush this late into his career.

Ancelotti with his reputation will last longer than some of their other managers. If they sack him I'm not sure who'd they turn to, he's really their last throw of the dice given his reputation in the game.

What they've signed since 2017:

Bolaise- 25m
Morgan Schnderlein- 20m
Davy Klassen- 23m
Pickford- 25m

Henry Onyekuru- 7M
Michael Keane- 25m
Siguardsson- 45m
Nikola Vlasvic- 10m
Cenk Tosun- 27m
Theo Walcott- 20m

Richarlison- 40m
Lucas Digne- 18m
Yerry Mina- 27m

Jean Gbamin- 25m
Moise Kean- 24.5m
Alex Iwobi- 34m

Tony Morely 1980/81 season.I Stood on the half way line with the Everton fans. Villa fans were to the right of me behind the goal. I had to get a ticket through a friend.
 That was goal of the season, I jumped up and down. The Evertonians around me shook my hand (i was only16) and said we would win the leauge with our line up.
 How right they were and how gracious they were.
 Got a lot of time for Scousers of both colours but the blues are my favourites.

First text congratulating me on the Villa staying up was from my mate here in Formby, who's brother died at Hillsborough  - fair play to him
