Aston Villa vs Man U pre match fat chewing - Sunday 2pm

[olaftab]

I am waiting for VAR to disallow Kortney Hause goal.

[olaftab]

Cuntyest club, cuntyest players and cuntyest fans (this in particular) over the course of the last 40 years. Probably longer i'm sure.

I note that you spell cuntiest with a y. Is there any reason for that Mr Griswold?

I dislike them more than our local rivals, to be honest; not only for the gloryhunter tag, not only because their fans seem - over the years - to have flouted all the boundaries (setting fire to Carrow Road, obligatory pitch invasions when scoring at VP; to name 2), not only for their flagrant self-entitlement, not only for Fergie-time ....
... all of that, and in my formative years I frequently encountered the self-styled Elmdon Reds - all w*****s to a man.

Having said all that, I suppose if I still lived in the Brum area I'd have a deeper loathing of the Bitters and the Inbred than I do: I am simply dismissive of them now.

I'm going to be controversial here, but in recent years their struggles seem to have made their fans almost normal. I've sensed a bit humility in them for the first time.
Was up there for the win last year in the league in corporate and everyone was sound with us, before and after the game.

Apart from Roy Keane who glared at you throughout your consumption of prawn sandwiches (king-sized with garlic, chili and lime no doubt).

We didn't get Roy Keane, we got the man Roy Keane was always trying to be. Russell Beardsmore.

And to be fair to him, he was a good lad, he sat for a good 10 minutes talking to the 4 of us Villa fans.

[Monty]

I do really hate them, obviously, but with City and Newcastle around in the form that they are it just puts it in perspective. Not that they aren't, in a way, also responsible, ushering in as they did (along with Real Madrid) the idea of the corporate superclub.

I was there as well, with my mate who's got Man U hospitality. Halfway through the meal, the compere said "Can I have a bit of quiet please ladies and gentlemen, we've got a very special guest to introduce to you today, charge your glasses and give a big hand to *dramatic pause for effect*...Phil Collins son, Simon!"

They've got a lot of corporate, must have been a few ex-players on holiday that week and Luke Chadwick can only be used after dinner.

Don't know which section you were in, but ours was shit. Steak and chips at 10 in the morning. Crap seats as well, not a patch on Villa.

[aj2k77]

There will be some kind of VAR drama, misuse of the rules etc and we will lose. I'm just used to it now against these vile wankers that I write the 2 games off automatically and anything other than being cheated in to a defeat by them is a nice bonus.

[Risso]

I'm not expecting miracles from Unai overnight, but please just give us a bit of hope that things might look a lot better in a few weeks. And a 3-0 win, obvs.

[pauliewalnuts]

At least that wanker Bruno Fernandes isn't playing.

Wouldn't want him stamping on any of our players to buy himself a penalty. Again.

We were at what was always known as the Scoreboard End, but the opposite side to our fans. They've got sections all over the place by all accounts, the food was pretty bog standard but the staff were sound. Not a patch on what you get mind, like comparing a Hungry Horse to Purnells.

That's obvious for me. At least our local rivals support their local clubs and are genuine fans. The Sky 6 clubs are really who the rest of the league and pyramid should be hating. Local rivalries mean little now imo.

[TonyD]

When did we last beat them at home?

[Chris Smith]

When did we last beat them at home?

If I remember rightly we beat them in the league cup when they rested a few and had Bosnich in goal. The last time in the league was in the seventeenth century.

[LukeJames]

There can't be many League records anywhere worse than ours against them.
