Closing down sale at the Sty. This is just what we need. Blues are great medicine to relieve the pain of what is happening at VP.

We should lock this thread after this Bradford debacle.

Don't worry we always get the last laugh. Remember them lording it when they won the carling cup. Where are they now?

Birmingham City - the gift that keeps giving.

Keep up the good work Carson

Brian Little and Alan Little

Wimbledon FA Cup 4th round - 1991-92 - LOST

Tranmere League Cup semi final - 1993-4 WON

Inter Milan - Uefa Cup 1994 - Round 2 - WON

West Ham - League Cup Quarter final - 1999-00 - LOST (match later replayed after West Ham fielded ineligible player and we won)

Bolton - FA Cup semi final 2000 - WON

Sunderland - League Cup semi final 2009 - WON

Any more?

edit: how could I forget Tranmere?

Hi Wiggy, yes that would be great thanks.... if you didn't mind

Not mine, but assisting a mate in writing his. At the moment it's just a mass list of thank yous. His brother is the best man and will be funny so he doesn't want to be outshone totally.

Can anyone offer any advice on groom speeches and how to make them amusing in a non generic way.

Examples of funny things you've heard most welcome.

Point for debate:

Are Blues fans acting with more grace over this than we are? I just remember some of our fans singing about Tracy Andrews/Cisse's family

Interesting that yesterday was the anniversary of Heysel. The LFC official website's main headline was offering deals on merchandise.

Disgrace this event plays second fiddle to Hillsborough

#avfc set to announce OGS as new manager. Funny that's the nickname we give Curtis davies #bcfc #blues

Who's decent who plays for Molde? Anyone we could steal?

From Wikepedia:

Solskjær worked for Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford, coaching the strikers on the first team for the remainder of the 2007–08 season.

Not comfortable with these new wave techniques of coaching the strikers to score goals. Can't see it catching on

Pannu &i can't agree. He prefers default sans serif. I'm a times new Roman man #bcfc #sha

It's a myth though. St Andrews is about half a mile nearer than the Hawthorns.

I think rivalries might just be for young people, the older I've gotten, the less I given a shit about other teams. I remember being ecstatic 11 odd years ago when Blues lost in a play off pen shootout. The other night I was pretty non-plussed.

People like TRS-T might love 'the banter' but I just find it boring

'lol Blose lost'

'lol we gave you Mcleish and he's shit'

meh

I've gone the other way. The older I've got the more I dislike them.... In fact over the last 18 months I would go as far to say that I almost get as much pleasure from them losing as us winning.

I understand this does probably make me sound fairly small time.

Maybe we could make an offer on Chris Burke. He seems to be able to get a decent cross in the box.

I was thinking about this after reading the sha thread. I believe the rivalry will intensify but for now it is a little one-sided.

Personally I don't mind West Brom and have never had a problem with their fans. This is in stark contrast to small heath.

Yeah agreed. WBA don't seem to have the same trouble making pricks following them that Blues have.

That said, a rivalry is a rivalry and would love to see the Tesco carrier bags go the same way as Blues.

With Blues seeemingly having bought a one way ticket to Nowheresville it's almost fair to say we might not be seeing them for a while. This could almost be a Stoke City/Port Vale rivalry.

As well as enjoying their decline, should we now also focus our energies on the dislike of Albion. To me, this is all too underrated but I personally cannot bear the Albion (and they don't seem all that keen on us). This has been especially bad of late, not least with them finishing above us.

To the older Villa fans, this is the proper derby.

For some reason I don't mind Wolves, but I cannot stand Albion.

Horrible club. One day they will learn that we always get the last laugh.

And whilst wishing a club to go bankrupt is all well, it's not nice for the people who work at the club whose jobs will be at risk.

SH!T! Does anyone know how to cancel a bid on ebay? I placed a bid for a cowboy outfit for a laugh and now I'm 5 minutes from owning Blues.

I dunno who I want to go down more. The Notlobs or QPHaha.

With everything so uncertain for us at the moment, I am again hoping next season there will be 3 teams worse than us. QPR would majorly strengthen, Bolton would remain the same.

For that reason I'd like to see QPR go.

Fair play to the powers that be at Villa who have allowed Blackpool to use our training ground.

They hate Small heath more than us!!

Sensationalist bull $hit blown up by the mail which is notoriously and historically anti Villa and pro Blues. Never read it, not even the poorly designed advert strewn website.

Saying that, footballers are targets, and these boys shouldn't have put themselves in the firing line.

Christ, poor guy. As if he hasn't been through enough

Wonder if our game at Norwich will be live on sky ??

Doubt it. It'll be City v QPR on one channel and United v Sunderland on t'other.
