Spawny Vile bastards

[nigel]

There was initially no plan to award points for draws. Vile get a draw in their first ever league game and, you've guessed it! The league awards them a point!

Just 132 years later than point would prove crucial in keeping the spawny bastards up!

Wasn't quite sure this was true, CD, so I asked my blues mate.
He said
'Villa's first League game came on 8 September 1888, when they drew 1–1 Wolverhampton Wanderers as Tom Green scored the club's first League goal. Villa finished runners-up to Preston North End in that inaugural season'

I smell bullshit there Nigel. Had you asked your Nose mate he’d have also given a detailed description and the time ‘da Vile’ got the equaliser.

It was in the 7th minute of injury time and offside but VAR wasn't working that day.

Everybody called Green is a cheat.  His goal should never have counted.

That would be Tom Green that played for Albion in the Cup Final, in 1887. Didn't score, Albion lost to Vile and he signed for them shortly afterwards.

Anyone else think that's more than a bit suspicious?

An that DVB Thomas Holte cut his cook's head off.

No he didn't and he was let off anyway. The judge was a DVB.

I always refer back to the summer of 2018. Stoney Broke Tony Bloke was taking them to oblivion and it was simply delicious. Not paying wages, flogging off car parks to pay the leccy bills, a massive FFP hit around the corner, and a dodgy Chinese owner who would only ever sell to another dodgy Chinese owner, because that's what we'd been told to expect. They were on a perfect trajectory to "do a Pompey" and with any luck, eff off down into the non-leagues.
So what happened? There was no selling to any other dodgy Chinese owners. Instead, out of nowhere came two knights in shining armour and within a year they were in the promised land. Even that process fell kindly for them. Albion were a better side than them but lost all their strikers when they met in the playoffs. Of course, vile won the penalty shootout, I'd have expected nothing less. But it was ok, Leeds were an even better side who would muller them in the final after winning at perennial bottlers Derby. Who'd have thought Leeds would press the self destruct button in that second leg, thereby effectively handing vile a bye to the premier league? And now of course, we had the Sheffield United non-goal. I'd say that's a pretty lucky two years. Any chance we might escape our 10 year predicament in such a manner? I somehow have my doubts, because you just don't get luck like that do you?

Absolutely love this. It has made my morning. I know we are the chosen one's but didn't realise it was this good.

They are a one man team and without him they would have been relegated by Xmas but Greasy is well overrated he wouldn't get into a decent Championship team like Leeds or baggies.

At leats the DVBs won't be turning up at St Andrews (in coaches coz' they're scared) and spawning another jammy win, like they have been for the last 16 years, and we won't have to go to that Vile Park, and watch us get narrowly beaten again, those 11 minutes in dreamland.....if only

I love this one, I've seen a nose on facebook, within a few days of each other, post that "grealish is just a show pony and none of the top teams would be interested" followed by "they're going to be relegated on about 15 points next season whilst Grealish is playing in the champions league". He really didn't like it when I mentioned Grealish would be doing alright for himself given he's so shit.

What I would like to know why only ONE bomb was dropped on Vile Park but HUNDREDS were dropped on Small Heath.  Some bullshit story put about by that DVB Hermann Goering that they were aiming at the BSA cycle works.

I have also read them moaning that their players went into the army while ours were in the police.

They said being ARP Wardens at Nechells and Saltley gasworks by Vile volunteers was only because they pinched the coke during the hours of darkness.  Thieving Vile fuel stealing spawny bastard old age pensioners.

I'd say that we were pretty spawny when NSWE rocked up to save us from Tony ShitShoes' road to oblivion.   However some of that may have been in part due to us having a worldwide reputation, tradition, and history that meant something in the game, not to mention a very decent stadium and a significant fanbase with potential to grow.  I'm not sure many Billionaires would look upon small trophy cabinet alliance in quite the same way.

Can we get this somehow put to music? Preferably ‘Dry your eyes’ by their Chief Chav, or the Our Tune thing that Simon Bates used to do on Radio 1.  Let’s have Jasper Carrott reading it too.  I could listen to it all day.

I love this post. They should run out at the sty every other week to the 'Our Tune' theme in my opinion
