Aston Villa vs Newcastle United pre match thread

The trouble with that banner was that it wasn't in any way funny.

Wasn't it the 'Ant and Dec' one that got their back up? I can't remember.

That wasn't funny either.

That wasn't funny either.

It was meant to wind them up and it worked.

I dunno, I have to admit I did have a bit of a laugh.
I was sat near some geordies in the family stand and they were giving the ‘we’ve come to see you relegated’. Then they realised that Sunderland had beaten Chelsea and they disappeared fairly quickly

Yep, that's what was funny. Load of them turning up in clown and joker masks/costumes, expecting us to be as upset to go down as they were in 2009. But we'd had six months to accept it, and the occasion just turned into another opportunity to laugh at them.

Most people laughed at them getting relegated, most people laughed at us getting relegated, and most people will laugh if Everton get relegated. I've never understood their fragile egos and inability to grasp that.

I guess. It just always strikes me that banners say a lot more about the adult human that's gone to all the effort of making them than they do about their intended target.

[rob_bridge]

Not confident on this one. The last 2 defeats were against better teams and this one is on good form.

1-2

[Louzie0]

That’s what some of them are saying about us, so it should be a cracking match!

Yes, they seem to really hate us. But when a big team gets relegated, itis funny. I expected other fans to laugh at us when we went down inn2016.

[Richard]

Don't think they're that bothered by us, some seem happy that us and them are trying to break this big 6 nonsense spouted by the media.

[rob_bridge]

The Ant and Dec banner was funny. The context.
 It was because they were giving it the large one about Keegan going back 18!Months earlier and recreating past glories it would be like us rehiring Brian Little in 2008.

The ‘We’ll Meet Again was funnier’

I lived in Nottingham at the time and new a fair few exiles from everywhere in UK. The 2 Toon fans I knew thought both were funny ‘You Brummie Bastard’ they said in Georgie stereo

I had the piss taken constantly throughout that season. What can you do but smile and take it? Anything else makes you look like a humourless bellend, or a West Brom fan.

After a couple of jokes it's normally then that the okay fans of other clubs will have a decent conversation with you about football, and the wanker fans won't.

[Smirker]

The banner was a back handed compliment. If they were a small, nobody club like Norwich then nobody would have laughed or mocked their relegation.

It was a shit banner though. But I can't understand why some are still pissed off about it.

[The Edge]

I had a look at one of their forums yesterday. Like all football forums, there were plenty of sensible comments, as well as some by brain donors.

A couple of them hate us because we're all Tories, apparently. One has a Baggie mate, and he and other Albion fans principally hate us because of the strong Tory element amongst our support. Nothing to do with spending more than a century in our shadow then.

Right, I'm off to piss on a homeless person before objecting to a planning application for new social housing in my area.

So they're oblivious to the the brutal fascist regime that's pouring money into their club so long as they win some shiny trophies? Ok then. However I'd much prefer to keep politics out of football. I've never had any issues with them previously and I've always thought of our fan bases as pretty similar. This will be a very tough game for both teams. I think/hope we can edge it so I'll go for a 2-1 win for the boys in claret and blue who I'm very proud to say hail from one of the most working class areas of the city.

We're better looking, though.

[markeeeebeeee2005]

We’re for sure better looking. I’d honestly rather be a Newcastle fan than a Tory.

I hope we pump this lot, really not keen on their being sugar daddied by human rights abusers.
