Why are Aston Villa so unpopular with neutrals?

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

I've never met a Leicester fan yet who doesn't share the average Coventry fan's rabid and slightly bewildering dislike of us.

I'd be a bit worried if anyone or anything from Leicester liked us.

They certainly spent many a game last season singing about us going down, which again, is very strange.

Of course, the song ended up being factually incorrect as well....

And singing that our city, just like Leicester, is blue.

They were not too happy when Sir Brian came home in 1994.

We’re always going to be unpopular with our jealous smaller local rivals, as to events at the weekend as has been mentioned earlier the biggest club in the relegation fight would always be the one neutrals wanted to fail as we tend to favour the underdog. Going forward as we go on our 20 years of Fergie style domination I hope we conduct ourselves with a degree of humility 😉
