On the subject of coaches I recall one sunny Sunday morning where we hopped in a taxi from Yardley to the game . As we headed down Watery Lane there was a line of coaches just about to set off. It seemed so ridiculous at the time, and of course we gave them all a cheery wave as we sped past.

Piss taking aside, the coaches have never bothered me. Considering how we know both sets of fans can behave with this fixture I don't blame normal fans wanting to avoid that shit and instead make sure they get safely to and from a match. Especially when you look at what happened to the Blackpool fan yesterday.

I always quite enjoy the jeopardy of the derby, but unless we get them in the cup, I don't anticipate us playing them for 10 maybe 15 years plus in the league. Given its a toxic rivalry based on their obsessive jealousy, 20 more years of us dominating the region won't do much to quell that.

But over those 15 odd years there will surely become less of them. Even family ties will see the kids turn more and more to the villa. As a kid who would you follow. A team in the prem possibly Europe or a team with half a ground who success means staying in the championship. The press covering us and not them.They are were they are because they deserve to be.i
