Who are Aston Villa's Rivals?

[pablo_picasso]

Local Rivalry - Blues, West Brom, Wolves
Sporting Rivals - closest clubs to us in stature are Newcastle, Everton, Leeds & Spurs

Leeds and Spurs don't deserve to be grouped in with us.

If Spurs were from any other city than London they wouldn't be as high profile as they are. The idea that they are Big 6 is preposterous. They're London's version of Wolves/West Brom.

Two league titles 

And Leeds aren't any bigger.

Just my (factual) opinion 

Prior to our decade of downfall, Spuds had finished above us in the table about 3 times in about 25 years. I don't know the exact numbers, but I think its around those. The fact that they are labelled one of the so called media favourite "big six" is an absolute farce. And Spuds fans are wankers...

(Is that OK Bob? Am I allowed to have a little playful banter?)

Blues obviously. The absolute toss they make up about us. The other day they were posting the video Percy and others did singing on the Holte steps. The usual bollocks about not a Brummie amongst them etc etc but the thing one guy claimed was there wasn't a person of colour amongst them hence you could tell they were all from the shires. Absolute toss. You only have to look at our crowds on the telly the other night to see what a rich  mix of cultures and ethnicity  we have.

Never been a fan of Man United but Chelsea are the other one that piss me off. Irrelevant and poorly supported for decades and now firmly established as if they've always been a super power.

Villa Leeds, when it comes around, is definitely rivalous be plenty between fans tonight whatever happens and that to me smacks of rivals.
Its a recent thing but lets not deny the animosity this tie seems to bring

[Bad English]

No they are not.

[N'ZMAV]

Leeds are only rivals when we play them, other than that, I couldn't give a fuck about them
We have one rival, it's them tramps in blue.

It is not a recent thing. Dirty Leeds has been a 'thing'' since the 1970's, so please do not make assumptions on our behalf.

mate said they were right racist b***tards in the early days and he supports them

Think traditionally well in the 70s anyway our opinion of all things Manure were not favourable.  Some people hated them more than Blues.  The dislike for Albion was bigger as well up to when they went walkies from the top division in the 1980s.

Spurs’ last league title was closer to the reign of Queen Victoria than today.

Leeds fans seem to have decided we’re their biggest rivals, for what reason I’m not sure. If I could block their number I would.

2nd biggest - biggest are Leeds Rugby League club. Without them being in the same city Leeds would have 98000 fans every week and have won the Champions League at least once a decade since the 60s. At least

I hate these one club town freaks like Leeds and Newcastle, they're like homeschooling weirdo's that haven't learned to interact socially

The Dogheads should count themselves lucky that although total Neanderthals they live close enough to Football Cvilisation with a superior alternative and a couple of others

Their relevance is multiplied by sheer proximity to us. Another 10 miles west and they'd be like Shrewsbury.
