West Ham United vs Aston Villa STAYING UP!!!! - Post Match Thread

[JUAN PABLO]

why the Bournemth fans moaning . We gave them 6 points ffs , what else do they want

[cdbearsfan]

Yeah, and Leeds finished tenth in Division Two. Other than that, though...

[Brazilian Villain]

Yes, 1963/64 works better.

[malckennedy]

Liverpool won the league in 1990 and Leeds were Division 2 champions. But we were runners up to Liverpool!

I'm not sure I want us using the sinking sixties as a template.

This is quite funny:

Wow, check this one out:

I have no doubt that we're a bigger club than Villa nationally and definitely worldwide. The Midlands spread might be a bit different and in favour of Villa, but once you're out of the immediate catchment areas I'll be honest I think we're way ahead

Do they really believe this sort of nonsense?

In a sea of Stevie Bullshit that was the post that stood out to me too.

In Cayman there's only one Wolves fan (from Manchester but his Dad was Wolves). There were 17 Villa fans there for the game in the Irish bar yesterday which has become a de facto Villa pub. Was always amusing when the local plastics came into watch Man U or Liverpool in the CL only to be informed the likes of Rotherham-Villa was on the main screen.

Fidel Murphy’s by any chance?

The saltiness of Wolves fans is the same saltiness of all the other clubs in the Midlands - disliking Villa is as much a part of their footballing life as the success of their own club.

As for Wolves I grew up on the 70's version - my Dad's a Wolves fan and he took me loads when I was a kid but I was never into it. Until we happend to go to a game against Villa. To be fair to my Dad he took me to a couple of Villa games the year we won the league and we'd always try and go to the Everton game until I left home (My Grandad was a scouser and Everton fan).

So relieved we made it - well done to Villa and lets hope we can sign a few players and make next season more relaxing.

I lived in Stourbridge for 16 years and only met 3 Wolves fans....2 brothers from Sedgley who came to fit some windows and a young lad who I used to teach.
Since I moved to leafy Worcestershire I have met 2....both in my local pub. One always wears a Wolves shirt and comes into the pub with a mug of tea (I don't get it either), he never goes to games but is as  smug as f**k. The other one I had been chatting with for a few years and one day (when it was clear they were going to get promoted) he announced that he was a Wolves fan. When I started to josh him about his secret support he said that he had been going for years and that he " was there in the 50s". He's 4 years younger than me and was born in 1958, so he may be stretching a point!

Have we signed anybody yet?

Yes moaning minnies!

That penaty that Heaton gifted them where it was easier not to, I just knew it was going to be a long season. Even before lockdown

I present an indie music radio show and am devoting all tracks to Villa tonight 😎. What tracks do you recommend? I’m goin with Such A Remarkable Day to start, be  cool if you’ll listen online 9-11pm www.mearnsfm.org.uk

[Chris Smith]

Wolves fans, although they won’t admit it, are worried because deep down they are nervous of the consequences for them of us finally getting our act together.

See my signature line - play Eels.

This should help put any of those upstarts in their place...





I had to chuckle, Corinthian, a team that only existed until 1939 has more major honours than the Blues !!!

I would suggest we're ome of the best supported clubs in Ireland.

Given our links over the past seventy years I would hope so. The trouble is that there's a massive gap between 'one of' and the best two or three.

My oldest and wisest Dublin cousin is a Villa fan.
As for his brothers all Utd fans.
They used to come over for the Villa Man U match most seasons.
Obviously the McGrath, Townsend, Houghton connection was a big pull for the Irish.
