A lot of fans seem to think that, although Birmingham City are our closest rivals, West Brom is only 4 miles from Villa Park and a lot of their fans have a real hatred for Villa and vice versa.
Ever since I was a kid, games against WBA were always fierce encounters, due to the rivalry.
I have...
If the semi final wasn't at Wembley then there wouldn't be a pitch invasion IMO.
Unfortunately for most fans football is going to suck. It's not like Man utd fans where they don't even care about winning the League Cup enough to stay after the game and watch their team lift the trophy. If a...
No didn't go Stu, was at work till 5pm today..
If you do catch the highlights, you will see Delph get mobbed and he is laughing and high giving the fans in celebration, obviously a few fans over stepped the mark by nicking his armband and left boot and that biting incident..
We looked like uninhibited, exciting fans. We thought it was all over... Then it was. All that happened was Lawrenson had a Heysel flashback, live on BBC and filled his incontinence pant, while having an old lady moan with Jonathan Pierce... another verbal diarrhoea pusher....
As for Delph, he...
It was pathetic, and the other 39,500 fans at Villa Park booing them pretty much told them that..it was wrong and stupid, but running on the pitch at the end was fine, it was emotional and a show of passion, after months and months of undesirable, boring, soul less and passionless football..
Don't see what's wrong with a pitch invasion - it's called 'magical' if it's in the lower divisions, but the snobbish Premier League suddenly think it's abhorrent! Not during the match obviously, but let the fans celebrate!
Stupid time to play the game. Local derby. FA Cup quarter final. Saturday evening at 5:30....
Brilliant decision by the FA to allow the fans to get tanked up all afternoon before going to a derby game that is so emotionally overcharged...
Massive week for Villa playing WBA twice at home in 5 days...
If we can get the 3 points in the league in Tuesday night, it might spur our form on and will set us up for the quarter final clash on Saturday...
As I said, big IF...
I won £2880.00 on a 10 team accumulator about 3 years ago. Was panicking like mad as I had all teams in apart from one (Leeds at home to Boro I think it was). All 9 games had finished and Leeds had about 5 minutes injury time and were drawing 0-0 (I had them to win), they got a penalty in the...
I am hugely concerned for Villa right now...
I originally had buried my head in the sand and followed the 'we are too good to go down' camp, but now we are in the scrap of our lives...
Personally, I think we have had our fair share of escapes over the past 3 seasons and this season will be a...
