I actually think everyone saying it stinks of small time need a relaity check and need to lighten up a bit.
Ok, I understand that we are better than blues, always have been, and probably always will be, but this does not take away from the passionate rivalry we have with them. I have to come to realise that football is full of rocket polishers, run by rocket polishers and controlled by money. This being said, Villa may not win a trophy for the next ten years or even compete at the highest level for a long time to come. The Rivalry we have in Birmingham with SHA is all we have at times and even in somewhat medicore seasons our games against them always provoke the most passionate and exhiliarting moments.
Yes it may have brought us down to their level but this rivalry is all I have to look forward to at times. I hate them and always will do but I love the rivalry. The banner for me was funny. It brought a smile to most of the ground.
