Aston Villa 2-2 Always bitter Sam’s Bitters post match thread

[Scratchins]

They say that revenge is a dish best served cold, Keinan Davis delivered my revenge last night.  .
29 April 1959; a friend and I went to The Hawthorns not really expecting us to be relegated. Back then there was no segregation, fans stood together. The unthinkable happened, I can still see Ronnie Allen scoring in my mind’s eye.
Then, for the first time ever I experienced taunting and comments from opposition fans. These brave men thought it OK to have a go at 14 year old schoolgirls.
I doubt that many of them are still alive now but at last the Villa have paid them back – the Albion won’t escape this time.
It may be served cold but it is very sweet.

I love a good old Fuck The Albion, post.

And so do I.

I was raised on stories of that day by my father, his brothers and their cousins. Most of them sadly now departed. They hated Albion, as do I, but occasionally I forget and hate B’lose more, but always return to my original hate. Bitter jealous bastards long may they stay down.

Revenge is ours Dad!

I was there, 8 years old, with my Dad.  Too young to fully understand the consequences of losing, me, not my Dad.
The sad thing was we knew Ronnie Allen, nice fellow.

Yep, expand the story to at least 500 words and D.Woodhall will ensure it's the first article printed in the end-of-season H&V print bonanza edition

A disappointing result on paper but was a decent match really.

They not only said that on MOTD but went on the Sunderland forum last night and plenty there saying how good a game of football it was. 

BV there must be an attractive young lady involved for you to be on a Sunderland forum otherwise I can’t fathom why?

Sadly not and in any case it's not as much fun when it's 'virtual'. More it's one of the better non-Villa forums and all the Sunderland fans I met the night before the play-off final were sound.

come to think of it, all the Sunderland fans I have met have been sound, can not say the same about Geordies.

[Drummond]

How pleasing would it be if they got within 1 point of safety and knowing that Kevin Davis scored the goal that mattered?

Same for me, although the Georidies I've known have generally been sound too in fairness.

I've this a few times before but having married into a mackem family I find Sunderland fans are very similar to Villa fans, it's a big club with huge potential but they've been let down so badly and so often that they're just as jaded as we are and expect everything to go to shit at any moment. All the same negativity that you see on here (and many other Villa groups) is repeated up there.

It brings a humility that males it easier to empathise with.

I didn’t see any of the game at all.  But we were absolutely shit. 

[Sexual Ealing]

We relegated our oldest rival. What's not to like?

[kippaxvilla2]

I know Sir I am just being ironic as it seems to be the default setting these days about us.  I just saw the BBC stats and couldn't believe the negativity.  They did go to Chelsea and win very convincingly with free flowing football.  The days of walking over most teams is not yet within our gift.

It wasn't a specific response to you, Kippax, just a general "see to it, lads!" from an ageing centre half. I was showing leadership (and I wasn't a centre half, I was a silky number 8, as I think my posts demonstrate).
