Aston Villa 3-3 Liverpool Post Match breather

[Richard E]

In real time from the Lower Holte I thought Duran had handled it.

I don't mind the Scouse Liverpool fans, but can you remember all the local ones patting themselves on the back when they won the league, the fortitude they had shown when they had stuck with them rather than transferring their affections over to Chelsea, ManCity, Real Madrid, New York Cosmos etc. '20 years of hurt'. Your heart bled didn't it. They shouldn't be dignified with banter, or any kind of response. They don't deserve the steam off our piss.

Surely there must be a little bit of a person from Birmingham who feels like a complete fraud enjoying a team from Liverpool or Manchester winning. I think we could have an off season truce with SHA and get together to tar and feather them all before shaking hands and resuming our entirely healthy enmity.

Can’t speak for them, but I’m not a Brummie (although my grandfather was from Aston, hence my support) and I can assure you my stress levels were not diminished from not residing in the area! In my case, having supported Villa my entire football sentient life (33 years or so) it certainly means plenty to me.

Most of them "have a soft spot" for Small Heath.

I asked a Liverpool fan from Tamworth how he felt about Everton. He said they didn’t bother him, he hated Villa more.

Putting lack of glory to hunt to one side mate, that's an entirely different thing to Jason from Pelsall who supports Liverpool because his uncle Trevor had a pair of red flares.

Yeah, and my biggest pet peeve, and I know plenty of people who do this, are those who choose a side and then change when another becomes more successful. What an utterly vacuous existence that must be.

No disrespect intended, we need to appeal to people outside Brum and respect them. I used to live in the Lake District and as there were no local teams they chose a NW or NE team depending where they were in the county. I was fine with that and their big passion for their non home club. But as a proud Brummie I view Manchester and Liverpool as cities whose achievements I simply cannot celebrate.

[PaulWinch again]

Yeah no offence taken, it was more general venting.

[Mister E]

Even conceding so early , even and 3-1 could just tell in that game how we were to get something and deservedly so.
Thought it was thrilling by the boys!
Yes Emery inch by inch!
Up The Villa!

Is that 'insight' or hindsight?

[PaulWinch again]

And I do think just picking a team that’s winning isn’t a great reflection of character. How do you enjoy success if you haven’t experienced hardship? That said, a few trophies for Villa would be nice!

[PeterWithesShin]

It always makes me shake my head when I see a post along the lines "only true fans remember these days" and it will be a one off weak line up for someone like Man U with the Dejmba twins and Chadwick in it, in a season they at the least qualified for the CL.

I can only imagine how empty it must all feel to glory hunt.

[KevinGage]

First thing I heard as I came into work today- "you were bloody lucky." This from a Liverpool fan. Just fuck right off. Sick to death this season of hearing how "lucky" we've been.

Most Redscouse fans I spoke to pre game wanted us to win. Nothing game for them.

Yep and he also got a line in congratulating us in the commentary.
