When did we last play villa? I know many feel the rivalry is over hyped but as a kid I remember some great atmospheres at highfield road vs villa. Not quite the same but that has been almost replicated at Sunderland games in recent years.

Id say most people would jump at the chance of 50k a week, playing in the premier league and being closer to family over apparently loyalty to a team that you support.
He scored against Villa, he enjoyed it, his dad would have told him about the rivalry, let him enjoy his goal and if he wants to dedicate it to us sobeit. Leave the lad alone.
I was gutted Villa didn't get relegated last year... but on the other hand, we've waited 20 years, so imagine then not being able to attend, it would have been such a disappointment.
As for Leicester... we can bitch about them if we like... but fair play to them, and i'd sooner see them continue to stick two fingers up to the "big 6"
