i'd like to think that most of us villa fans realise that those big fat, mouth breathing, toothless retards we laugh at on sky sports news all the time represent only a small minority of toon fans. the few geordies i know are just standard football fans like the rest of us who don't need to be constantly told what a great big massive club they are and i'd hope that you geordie lads on here realise that all the banter over the last week or so is (mostly) just banter :-)
i for one have a lot of sympathy for the geordies, i'd be devastated if mike ashley owned our club, i'd be gutted if we had had managers like souness, roeder, kinnear or shearer, i'd be incredibly pissed off if dennis wise had anything to do with villa and i'd be embarrassed over the whole keegan fiasco.
looking at the current situation at newcastle i feel a lot better about the situation at villa, we've generally been awful for the past 3 months and it's tough to see the positives in such a gloomy time, but we're not even close to the shit that lot are in.
of course i hope we stuff them. we weren't too clever at st james's this season and i'd love us to redress the balance, and i'd love to see shearer fail, and i'd love to see ashley sell up at a huge loss, it might even be good for him to have a bit less money to spend on pies and non-alcoholic beer, and i'd love to see joey barton reduced to fighting people in the championship. i happen to think that a villa victory this sunday is unlikely, but in a match like this with so much at stake anything can happen.
if we do win then i'll be sad for the average, decent toon fans who deserve better
