Who are Aston Villa's Rivals?

[wittonwarrior]

Yes we do despise Blues but their hatred  and jealously towards us is on another level.   

Again we dislike Olbion but its a dislike.  I hate their club more than their fans. 

Coventry/wolves - just opponents to us.

Man Ure - yes i have an unhealthy dislike for them, don't think they care a monkey's for us- same with the Red Bin Dippers.

Chelsea, Spurs and West Ham - i can't abide but that's as far as it goes.

Leeds - complete distain and I've had it since i was 8 or 9

Newcastle - no not really   i don't get any major dislike for them.

I found that quite interesting and engaging.

I went for 50% Blues, 30% Albion, 15% Wolves & 5% Leeds. When asked how many points Blues would give us - I said 100%.

I had a Bluenose boss and he placed me in charge of a team in Small Heath. He said ‘I bet you aren’t too happy about working within spitting distance of St Andrews’. I said ‘Actually spitting distance of that place is the perfect location for me’

Rivals? We have none. We are Aston Villa.

"We're by far the greatest team the world has ever seen"😁🏆

As the two good people said we have no rivals. No one is good  enough to be honoured with that status.

I went, from memory, about 48% Blues, 48% Albion, 2% Wolves, 2% Coventry.

Blues are kind of obvious, but I utterly resent the idea that we should be rivals with a club whose prize possession in their trophy room is an ashtray, so have generally considered Albion to be on a roughly equal footing to them, as they offer a bigger - albeit still fairly small - competitive threat.

Wolves and Coventry, it's more that we're their rivals than the other way round, but I'm maybe more aware of us playing them than I would be of, say, Derby County or someone like that.

Nobody else really features on the charts for me.

Coventry genuinely never crossed my mind.

Surely 50% Blues and 50% Burnley Amfy?

I stuck in Blues and Albion. I have to agree that they're not really 'rivals' in the proper sense but just the most-disliked.

Blackpool are PNE's big rivals aren't they?

[Meanwood Villa]

I put 70% Blues 25% Albion 5% Wolves.

Personally I hate Man U and Liverpool more than Albion and Wolves but not sure if that constitutes a rivalry as such. Also agree on needle with Newcastle and Leeds recently but that seems a bit short term as well.

In the 90s I probably would have included Coventry as they were the only local team we played in the league but the last 20 years has made them an irrelevance.

[cdbearsfan]

I think I went about 60% Small Heath, then split the rest between Man U, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham, West Brom and Wolves. Man U a slightly bigger share and the Black Country obsessives a slightly smaller share. The rest in between.

70% Small Heath, 30% Stripey Filth.

[Risso]

That was interesting and quite funny in places.

"Would you shag a West Brom fan?"

[AV82EC]

Enjoyed that, even if it was a bit weird being asked if you’d consider having intimate relations with a Blues fan!
