Agree I want them to stay Skint and irrelevant I remember the first time they got promoted and how they all came out of the woodwork with the car sticker brigade out in force 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be free 6 points for us you've said some shite on here, but christ...might be 6 points for us but would literally save them from their current financial problems and sort them out going forward there are plenty of other teams we're going to take 6 points off Edited October 20, 2020 by tomav84 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainly because of us winning all the time but also because of Jack taking the piss out of them. They have nothing to lose. They know they’re shit, and simply come up with the usual excuses if they lose. If they win, they become nauseatingly unbearable, and live off their brief moments of glory for years. There is no benefit to us in continually swatting them away like the irritating bugs they are. Yes, it’s nice to beat them, I’ve been watching us do it since the 1960s. But the very act of playing them ultimately gives them a reason to exist, indeed sometimes it seems like their only reason to pollute this City. So no, let them just wallow in their own irrelevance, and enjoy their desperate attempts to rise above their inherent mediocrity. We’ve got bigger fish to fry than those small fry. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I hope that they're 10th around Christmas and flirting with the promotion places followed by the disappointment of signing no one in January before hitting a decline and finishing 18th rinse and repeat every season until the end of time I hated our games vs them, they're a massive chore, early kick off meaning early beers, early up to the game, huge police presence, cagey game which especially at their place was largely devoid of quality, ball ache to get out and get home, the 90 minute away game was a 10-12 hour day out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twice now their fans have invaded the pitch and made physical contact with our players (Enkleman and Jack) thankfully neither was hurt. I’ve no desire to see them have another go and sadly the reaction from every element of the club to the situation with Jack means I think it could happen again. I’ve zero desire to play them, regardless of easy points or bragging rights. Wouldn’t bother me if we don’t play them for 10 years. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 If we never play this club of petty, spiteful, violent words removed again, I'll be pleased. It's not just any rivalry, as @TrentVilla says, twice they've confronted our players, and the response to the assault on Grealish was a disgrace, it wasn't even a slap on the wrist. It'll take someone seriously hurting one of our players before anything is done about it. I genuinely hope they go bust, start FC Alliance of Small Heath, and see out their lives getting worked up about the big games with Nuneaton and Redditch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still crow about the Enckelman game, and that was a refereeing mistake anyway, but FFS that was nearly 20 years ago 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Grealish incident was bad but ultimately it could happen with a rogue fan of any club and the club can’t be defined by it as demonstrated by the Villa fan in the news recently. What they can be judged on is how they respond to it and the response of the club and even their manager at the time was a disgrace. That was a watershed moment for me with them. I’m not interested in us playing them. I hate seeing clubs drop out the league or go to the wall but for them I’d happily make an exception. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but honestly if a fan had run on at Villa Park and hit Savage back in the day a lot of people would have cheered. An instant pack mentality reaction is one thing, people in positions of power making jokes having had plenty of time to reflect is something else entirely. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
