  1. this is absolutely bang on. come on, Villa. Please, we're better than this now. Hopefully.
  2. This is my most hated fixture we do. It almost eclipses the derby.
  3. 97th penalty to Man United to win the game 1-0 after being outplayed for the entire match. Also, pen was given with VAR and shouldn't stand.
  4. No revisionism from me. Loved the round badge, loved how the club did it, can't believe they ended up with a crest that I instantly fell in love with so obviously one man comes in and bins it.
  5. Looking forward to United scoring an unexpected winner in 90 +8 mins after being outplayed the entire match by us.
  6. And yes, they have. The Hagley Road at rush hour was a bit crap in 1994. The Hagley Road at rush hour is not reasonably navigable in 2023.
  7. The second city of the UK not hosting a single Euros match is a massive problem, when Manchester has two. This sort of mentality holds back Villa, and it holds back the region. We don't have the luxury of a vaguely competent competitor given they have a Shrek impersonator dribbling at the mouth in a stadium held up by sticky tape so the entire region misses out.
  8. This geezer is annoying more than Robbie Savage right now.
  9. I completely forgot there was a villatalk user with Futura2000 work as their avatar.
  10. I've waited years for that badge, and it finally happened. I love it so much, I love the way we got to vote on it. OBVIOUSLY now I've been lured in, they want to distance themselves from it. This annoys me, greatly.
  11. I went to this. Everyone steaming on a Monday night with a 745 kickoff. This was the worst game I ever went to. For all of these reasons. I vowed to never go to a derby again, and never have. Not after my 70 year old dad almost got bottled
  12. You know what, I always thought I hated this top. Then after too many beers I bought it from Scoredraw. I absolutely love it.
  13. For the first time since Martin O'Neill left us, we're actually back.
  14. I just don't understand the attraction of supporting a football team over a hundred miles away from where you call home, where you have nothing in common in terms of community with the rest of the fans. What's the point? I'm named "islingtonclaret" because I lived in Islington in London for ten years. I was born in the QE, and I'm from here. My club never changed, because I go to a match and I'm back home with my people. I get jokes about Mr Egg and who is going to Shebabs later. I like laughing with YamYams about orange chips and the fact they can't speak properly. It's even funnier now: I live there. Manchester United? You crack some joke about Salford being the real city and I have no idea what you're talking about.
  15. Sign Kryten. He may have been a mechanoid, but he's turned into a damn fine player, regardless of the merciless trolling VT gave him
  16. Hi Villatalk, I don't post or read here that often anymore, since careers and houses and weddings have taken over my life. I'm not even Islingtonclaret anymore, I'm technically Halesowenclaret now. But HELLYEA
  17. Chuckle Bro no 1. Great. Welcome back, have a pint.
  18. Sadly this is very much true, I just don't really want to admit it. I'm in an office of 50 people in Digbeth, and the entire office support either Liverpool, Man United or Arsenal. I'm the only Villa fan, and get lampooned for it. In my own city.
  19. If you want to stay relevant, cash is important, and the modern young football fan does not care for any of these things. We've traditionally been part of the leading pack for the large part since our inception. Two more seasons down here and we're joining the "used to be famous, but nobody outside of it's own fans knows, cares or wants to know" club.
  20. We might as well take the cash. As long as we don't name it as inappropriately as the idiots out East.
  21. Ah. My favourite match of the year. Time to go hide under a rug.
