Nah, I was 10 and even at that young age I knew to keep my mouth shut! No way I was saying anything. Luckily (or typically) we didn’t show up that day and nearly went down! So not much to cheer about

So not much to cheer aboutWere you one of the ones who ran across the pitch when it all kicked off? We had fans everywhere that day
Was with you then mate in the bottom corner. Then running on the pitch to get to the Cov end just before KO! :emoji_smile:Yeah, I stood in the Holte End in 92 and can categorically state it’s not all one way. More our way than their way, fair enough, but not one way.
I’d like Bournemouth to come down. It always appears to me they are made out to have been successful through not spending too much and bringing up youth, where I don’t think it’s true. I also think they massively underpaid us for Wilson, they saw we were in financial difficulty and came swooping. I can imagine they’ve done the same to other clubs
Same on the west side of Coventry, the want to play them and the enjoyment at watching them struggle is very real. Never understood the "rivalry" with Leicester, never met a Leicester fan in my life.Would give my left bollock to play Villa again. Hate how some say it's embarrassing the supposed rivalry with Villa. Growing up in Nuneaton half my mates at school supported Villa and having them games back in the calendar for the first time would be unbelievable.
Although never forget smashing west ham 4-2 is what got wheels in motion for double promotion!It’s good to be talking about current premier league teams in relation to games we will be playing next season and it not being about their under 23’s.
The covenant with the Legacy company (regarding the stadium) that prohibited the current owners selling expires next yearI would like to see West Ham get relegated as the meltdown will be great Mrs Brady old lady will be saying it should never have restarted and all that crap. Their fans detest the owners and new ground if they had an iffy start it would be toxic there.
Whoever comes down should be at the top due to the grossly unfair parachute payments there budgets will probably be twenty times ours
I don't think anyone's that bothered with what they think though, most understand on a list of local derby's for Villa we are probably 4th out of 5 that they care about.When we play Villa again some people are going to be so, so disappointed at how little they actually care about us.
That is rather sad though don't you think. Hating a club that doesn't care about you.I don't think anyone's that bothered with what they think though, most understand on a list of local derby's for Villa we are probably 4th out of 5 that they care about.
People just want something to be excited about and playing the biggest club in the midlands for the first time in nearly 20 years will do that.
Who cares if they don't reciprocate
All Villa will care about next year if they go down is being in the same league as Blues again.
True.... and if we are still at Stans, the home game v Villa could be dodgy as fuck.
Yes, same here. Hoping Hull City survive and Fulham don't get promoted for similar reasons.I'd like Bournemouth to go down for purely selfish reasons in that I haven't been there for a game yet.

Birmingham based Villa fans don't give a shit about us but Villa have fans all over Warwickshire and trust me, they would hate it if we turned them over.I don't think anyone's that bothered with what they think though, most understand on a list of local derby's for Villa we are probably 4th out of 5 that they care about.

I don’t hate any club. But by your logic, I shouldn’t dislike any club? I mean, nobody really cares about Coventry unless we’re their next game.That is rather sad though don't you think. Hating a club that doesn't care about you.

Nobody on here has said they hate Villa? I think you are mistaking excitement for hatred, or misquoting to make your point carry more weight, but that's not like you now is it....That is rather sad though don't you think. Hating a club that doesn't care about you.

To be fair noone on here specifically has, but if you go on Facebook/Twitter pretty much every meme/gif etc is poking fun at Villa. I get the excitement, it would excite me too. More because we become slightly more relevant to my group of mates. My mates feel nothing negative towards us and have come with me to games countless times. I just find all the SOTV etc posts embarrassing personally. It would be like 20 years from now, we're in Championship or PL and Walsall are still banging on about us. I'd just pity them a little bit.Nobody on here has said they hate Villa?

Who are you excited to play next season?
Not the ones I grew up with. They pretend to hate Blues and say it is their big derby when actually they don't know anyone who supports them. The whole point in a derby is about bragging rights and it being unbearable to go to school or work if you lose. The Villa fans I know would hate to lose to us... because I'd make it unbearable for them.When we play Villa again some people are going to be so, so disappointed at how little they actually care about us.

I am slightly amazed at the respones here. Surely the weaker the opposition is likely to be the better our chances of staying up? While parachute payments make them all able to spend way more on players, the fact is West Ham or Villa would likely be tougher oppo than Bournemouth or Norwich or Watford wouldn't you say? Like playig the roulette wheel, which one would you back? We need to stay up and every little bit will help that. The outide chance of O'Hare coming must rest on Villa's ability to stay up.

They would probably sell Callum Wilson to fund buying players to make another run at the PremiershipI doubt Bournemouth would struggle in the Championship. They would buy there way back up like last time. Villa might be in the shit with ffp depending how much they lost last sesson. Would love to see West Ham down. Owners and fans think they are massive.
On the other hand you could say the likes of Villa and West Ham are more likely to have their squads pulled apart by selling premier league quality players. The likes of Norwich are Watford are more likely to keep their players as they don't have the standouts such as Grealish, McGinn, Mings, they're more likely to require a rebuild which is more of an uncertainty.I am slightly amazed at the respones here.

I expect Cantwell and Pukki to turn out for Norwich in the Championship next year, I don't expect Villa will have Grealish and McGinn.
I'm not sure they will, he's 30 and has been found out to not be up to it in the prem. He'll be a Championship player next season with Norwich and he'll probably do quite well.Someone will take Pukki, they'll regret it but they'll take him off them
