Spawny Vile bastards

[Mellin]

In these troubled times we should try to have some empathy for the less fortunate.

Remember how as Villa fans we suffered from the start of the McLeish era to the end of Bruce.  The almost relentless misery and countless hammerings. Managers that were dour, depressing, dismal and dim. Some of the worst players in our history, many with awful attitudes and work ethic, many others utterly forgettable.

Remember all of that, and then consider, that if that exact series of events played out for Birmingham City, it would actually be considered their Golden Age.

They can only dream of multiple consecutive seasons in the Premier League escaping relegation, an FA Cup Final appearance and a narrow Championship play-off defeat.  One of their greatest ever strikers, and the emergence of a homegrown, world-class player.

That would be heaven to them.  Those would be the stories they'd tell their grandchildren.

So, have some pity for them and their wretched lot in life.

Love this. True as well.

The neighbours either side of where i live are noses ,the type who hate the Villa more than they love Small Heath .Last season when it looked like we were going down  i would see them every day in their horrible blues tops and always wanting a chat about how the Villa were going even though they stayed up by the skin of their teeth  .This season guess what,i hardly ever see them and they sure do not want to talk about football They have always been in our shadow and it kills them

This may be true, but ‘Villa don’t drink in town’. It’s the important things.

I think one of the best quotes was from David Sullivan
It was so good I can’t even remember it

But it was something about us always been far better than they ever have been

Wasn’t it something about never being able to compete with us?

Ahem - it is my signature and has been for a while as it was so nice to hear from porno dwarfs mouth

Can you quote it Hookey? I can’t see them on an iPhone.

I remember him saying something after we played West Ham in MON’s first season. We’d been on a bad run and he said something along the lines of “they haven’t won for ‘x’ number of games, they’ve got nothing to play for and they get 41,000. We can’t compete with that”. Purely from memory so don’t dig me out if I’ve got it wrong.

Yes that’s the one

There was also the quote after the 5-1 where McLeish admits that they cannot compete with us in his post match interview

Then McLeish got his revenge by joining us and making us uncompetitive.

[Ad@m]

our worst team in living memory and they still couldn't beat us - always in our shadow

GESSSTEEEDDDDEEEE!!

That's a spoof article surely? It claims they're was "a moment of quality from Rudy Gestede"!!!

[dcdavecollett]

Gestede was fine, if you put a decent cross in front of him.

Sadly, he didn't offer much else.

[Dave P]

Gestede was the ultimate example of a Villa player who was better when he didn't play.  When he was out, it was all "Gestede would have made a difference" etc, and when he did play, he didn't do much.  Wesley could well be catching him up on those stakes though.

[kippaxvilla2]

£400m and not in debt how can that be the horrible, spawny vile bastards.  God I detest them more than any think.

[Tayls_7]

Gestede looked like a player who took up football around the age of 20. He had no control of a football whatsoever.  Dreadful.

[Villafirst]

Blose now second from bottom! Good to see that pile of shite sinking to the bottom..... relegation is looking probable.
