Ours is quite tame by comparison really. That comes down to stupid individuals rather than football rivalries though. Besides I already said I understand Birmingham Citys hatred for us. Its our hatred for them that I don't understand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Sorry for taking this slightly off topic, but on the subject of blues Villa rivalry... it’s massive and the hatred is strong, which is why we never play night games these days.

villabromsgrove Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I also have good friends who are life long Blues fans. They are good people who love their club. The difference between us is 'expectation'. We Villa fans are aware of the history and huge potential of AVFC, and are constantly waiting for a rebirth to return us to those halcyon top six days. My Blues mates have no such opportunity to dream and scheme of ways to achieve 'greatness'. They are what they are, and that is a source of frustration to them. We have a fantastic stadium and infrastructure, they have a shack and a bleak and unwelcoming training ground. It's not surprising that Blues fans are often focussed on us, and some despise us for being a storied club while we in turn hardly notice them. I hope Hogan does well for them, because it will benefit all parties involved. I wish the Blues well for the sake of my good friends who support them, but I wish much more than that for my beloved Villa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate is a burden, I refuse to harbour....I don't hate them, I can't muster a reason to do so. I try to avoid Hate, like the plague. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that he comes good too, it's just a pity that he's doing it with them. I can understand that they might want to sign him permanently, but if so, we shouldn't be doing them any favours fee wise. They wouldn't do us any favours and if anyone matched their offer, I wouldn't be selling him to them. Can you imagine if the situation was reversed, them being willing to sell Bellingham to us, if we matched another club's bid in the summer? As far as mates and the team that occupy the dark side of the city, is concerned. I treat them as two totally different things. I have mates that are Noses, but that doesn't mean that I have anything approaching acceptance, for the so called football team, that they chose to follow. They feel the same about our team and in my opinion that's fair enough. I'm old enough, to remember when they were in the higher division. Those were dark days, as has been any day since, when they have drawn or beaten us. Order has been restored now and long may our dominance over them continue. Back on topic, I look forward to Hogan scoring plenty of consolation goals between now and the end of the season, during Small Heath's slide down the table, and to him earning a move somewhere else.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post tinker Posted February 16, 2020 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted February 16, 2020 Im a born and bred Brummie , i.live and work in the city and have many friends who are noses . Any noses that are idiots (and villa fans) are kept at arms length. Anyone that hates or dislikes someone because of football isn't someone i would spend any time or effort with , it says enough about them to know there of no use to me as a friend . Hogan has never done anything but try to play and for that he deserves all the.luck he can get. Its my guess he will pick an injury up and that will disrupt his progress , as it did with us. Fingers crossed I'm wrong UTV 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I don't understand how anyone can have hatred over a **** game - but it's a sad world we live in. (That said, I also don't understand a Villa fan preferring Blues to any other club ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenjiOgiwara Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 This lines us up perfectly for signing Bellingham to be fair. For that alone we need to hope he scores a ton from here on in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
