Seals has been their longstanding nickname for us. I think they find it amusing that we flap like seals at the first sign of trouble. Not that they would ever do such things. They know who they are.
Oh first I knew of that. Fans clapping at a game whatever next.

Not that they would ever do such things. They know who they are.It's because of the old Trinity Road stand, where apparently we used to clap a lot. That's a stand that was demolished in the last century and we're the ones obsessed with history.
I would love anyone to study the match data/review the Villa-Albion games and explain why WBA were the better team.To say they were the second top-scorers that season, I couldn't believe they were so negative. When Conor scored his goal, they had ten men back in their own area!Still, with a 'nose in charge of the team, what do you expect?
Came across this on YT the other day:Some cracking footage of SHA losing to Kiddy in the FA cup. Tom Ross looking exactly the same as he does now. Barry Fry signing 200 players in a week.As bad as they are now they were proper s*** in those days and it really was a Sty back then. I think that was the season we played them in the league cup.
Barry Fry was the perfect manager for Small Heath. Gobby, uncouth and deluded. The Poundland version of Harry Redknapp. Fry reckoned he pissed on all four corners of the pitch to get rid of the gypsy curse. I reckon he was just too fat and lazy to walk inside to the bogs.

I've always said that documentary must have been done by a Villa fan, it's such a great pisstake out of them. I'm pretty sure it started with the narrator saying something like "Birmingham City are a professional football club, but not a very successful one." The youtube video seems to miss out the beginning of it.
