Talking to an Albion fan today. He was old, guessing 60s/70s.

He said, "When I was younger the Albion didn't have the same rivalry with Wolves. It was Villa back then, I've never really liked Villa but I say fair play to them, I think you've got a real, genuine chance to win the league this season."

Was full of praise for Unai too.

Made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside  8)

It’s definitely the more historic derby. 3 FA Cup finals, and (I think) the first reported outbreak of football hooliganism, at the site of a social club called the Calthorpe. Note: not the Calthorpe Arms at the bottom of Wood Lane, which is still open and bedecked in Villa memorabilia.

Nice.

Btw he also rates Watkins highly and said Blues will 100% get the stadium built so just something to consider.

Funny that, I was out with my old school mates in town last night for annual xmas drink. Quite a few of them are Albion fans and a couple of them, were a little disturbed by their own convictions that we are going to win the league

Yes imo.

Not elderly but old.

Still probably independent but definitely getting on.

Some parts might need replacing but overall the unit should run for a few more years yet.

Maybe a Baggies ploy to delude us so they can laugh more if we don't do it?

It was a little like our collective anxiety when playing man Utd, they feel the same about us potentially winning the league. All fun.
