Other Games - 2022/2023

[Toronto Villa]

Ryan Reynolds is genuinely a really nice person. Both owners of Wrexham have taken time to get to know the community. With happiness will come sadness as you get to know people personally.

Exactly. I’m generally not a fan of inspirational quotes but I saw one I really liked recently - ‘grief is the price you pay for love’.

Some of those Chelsea players weren’t trying, shades of Stephen Ireland.

Looked like it but you might need the to take Chelsea eye test. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1661840907795046432

Scottish Premiership play-off semi-final was a bit one-sided, 8-0 on aggregate to Partick Thistle.

Wigan Athletic have been given a second four-point deduction for next season after failing to meet an English Football League funding deadline.

It means the Latics will start on minus eight points in League One for 2023-24.

Used most notably by the Queen in response to the 9/11 attacks.

Thinking about it, I think I may have first heard it on The Crown, which hasn’t got that far yet.

[N'ZMAV]

Right then, Cov or Luton? who do people want to come up?

am I right in thinking Cov have a real dislike for Villa? they've not really been in the Prem much in my adult life so they've always been irrelevant, are they ones of these clubs, similar to Wolves that have dreamt up a rivalry?

[ADVILLAFAN]

Coventry hate us more than anyone else and are another team that play the SOTV Derby, when playing Blues.

However, I think we'd fund it much easier to beat Coventry next season, than an ultra physical team like Luton.

[Meanwood Villa]

I had no idea Coventry hated us so much until I read a compilation of fanzine summaries of the 95/96 season. It was a great book called Survival of the Fattest. I assume Mr Woodhall contributed, H&V was definitely in it. Anyway, the Cov fan in that was full of vitriol for the Villa. I later met a Cov fan at uni, nice lad, but Villa hatred seemed to be the defining characteristic of his fandom. So even though it is not a great choice, Luton get the nod for me because fuck Cov.

[Proposition Joe]

I'm actually nervous today, I really hope Dortmund don't Dortmund it up. The undeserved flukey title win is part of Bayern folklore.

[PeterWithe]

Think Cov fans are like Wolves, Leicester etc, a very, very one way rivalry.

I have the same book and recall likewise. Having grown up in Shirley, I went to Coventry on a night out a few times: it was ugly (1970's ugly) and their fans really did carry a massive dislike of us.
There's something slightly warming about clubs hating us - it means we're relevant!

[Flamingo Lane]

I'd like to see Coventry win, mainly because of the phenomenal job that Mark Robins has done for them. Just because their fans may dislike us doesn't mean I need dislike them. Obviously that doesn't apply to Albion and Birmingham, but the day our neighbours stop disliking us will be a day for us to start worrying.

In the 70's I would combine a visit to Highfield Road to watch us win with a stay over night out with friends in Coventry. It was an utterly horrible place and they really (really) have a hard-on hatred of us probably due to battering them repeatedly every time we played and taking over their shitty ground - anyone remember the game after we had won the League Cup there and three sides of the ground were claret and blue?
