It's Your Round Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Since moving away from the midlands 12 years ago I’ve not listened to BBC WM, reading back through this thread though has rekindled fond memories of just how desperately jealous the small heath, boggies and dog heads can be. I’ve missed winding the rocket polishers up on a Monday morning. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I've since decided he isn't joining any of those bitter, obsessed fan bases or glory hunting either, so it's AVFC or no one.

TheStagMan Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 It's so true. I have no idea how the other teams have done this weekend, or any other weekends - absolutely no interest unless the result directly affects us. I don't get upset or care if they win, lose or draw, or by how many - again, unless it is against us. That said, I do like having more Midlands teams in the prem, it feels right. Not SHA though, they should stay in the lower leagues where they belong. Wolves, WBA, Forest and Stoke I am happy to see in the prem, although even then, I would only take a passing interest in their results as to how it affects us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Whether you support the Villa or another local team, you'll only be looking out for the Villa result either way son'. My parents told me aged 10 I could support who I liked but if it was anyone but the Villa I would have to leave home at 16. ( It was in jest as had been a season ticket for a few years by then anyway) My lads had no choice whatsoever but understand how important it is as a long held family tradition Edited October 7, 2020 by Follyfoot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaJ100 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 My dad was a die hard villa fan but never made me choose I remember watching the 94 Cup final though and knowing it was the team for me. Ironically now he's mellowed into a 'want all the Midlands clubs to do well' fellers (apart from small heath) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Follyfoot Posted October 7, 2020 Author VT Supporter Share Posted October 7, 2020 (edited) Really not sure about this new presenter Henry Liston, seems to have no real personality And the fact he keeps banging on about himself being a Liverpool supporter It’s not really relevant to WM phone in regarding Midland teams. In reality he should not disclose who he supports or talk about it, You can tell that Rigo thinks he is dealing with a child Edited October 7, 2020 by Follyfoot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In for a huge disappointment mate. The only Nose who isn't bitter is Ken The rasta. The others like "Polly" and "Pete from Erdo" are just complete nobbers. Even some of the Villa fans are boring, like Jason the taxi driver and Si, who is actually a woman but sounds like a 12 year old boy. All the Wolveszzz fans send you to sleep but King Of Boring words removed is Terry the baggy who delights in telling how he got married in 1950-something and still managed to get to an Olbiyun game in the afternoon. Shut up you boring word removed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shut up you boring word removed. I always imagine when Jason calls in, he's parked up, phone tucked between his shoulder and chins, finishing off a kebab. I thought the same about Si...."an annoying school boy who is probably teacher's pet" then i found out she was totally blind and i felt a bit bad for how I'd portrayed her. She still banged on about Gabby being the answer to all our problems during our relegation season ! Terry.....yeah, drones on like uncle albert.....had a stroke recently so i tend to lay off him now. I just wish Prat (Pat) the walsall doghead calls in again. He has so much bitterness for one who is quite young; a proper immature idiot who has no respect for anyone who aint wolves. The way he once refused to say hello to richard sneekes was totally embarrassing and showed him up to be a clearing in the woods. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuart_75 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I noticed the Dogheads have a 90 page thread on Radio WM. Most of it claiming Franksy & Reago are biased towards the Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvfcTheObsession Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Is Rego a Villa fan? Franks there were rumours he was Wolves but then other rumours of Albion if I recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
