Robtaylor200 Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 I am so full of hope again. This really seems like an amazing chance to return to the big time and start to win the games we expect to win. Fair play to the owners we have a professional manager and of course his entourage, this is a massive investment by them. If it fails, it is not the boards fault this time. It would be truly amazing to get anything from the Manure game. But Unai is also asking us to do our part and Unai you will not believe the atmosphere when you walk out into Villa Park on Sunday it will be so loud and as long as the team play until they are totally spent out and we see things changing for the better, then we will be behind you and our support will be deafening you will never want to leave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Maracas aren't from Spain, and this idea is crap even if if they were) I guess people here sometimes wear hats like any other country, so some people could wear hats if they like. A cap or something...oh, or maybe even a shirt from Zara. Edited November 6, 2022 by Rolta 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just find lazy stereotypes a bit cringeworthy, especially when they stereotype one country with the stereotype of a different country/people from thousands of miles away on a completely different continent. If people dressed up with maracas and, presumably, sombreros or something because our manager is Spanish, it would be very lame. (And if you think about it it would also be like wearing aboriginal clothes every time Dean Smith won a game.)

He's also very excited about the game today and a little high on hope. (See his previous post). Not everything needs to be taken at the lazy stereotype level.

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Honestly... The position we've been left in is so shite, we need to pull off some shock results to pull away from the danger area. Wins against Man U, Chelsea and Leicester Unai... No pressure! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe though he would be delighted by castanets played to a crescendo in the stands and the Spanish guitar for post match drinks in the players lounge. Perhaps we could throw in a few Basque separatist ditties once we go three goals up on Sunday? Too much? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely better, but yeah the whole Basque vs. Spanish thing is of course a potential pitfall! I just want him to like us. Anyway, new dawn and all. I'm sure we're all excited. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a mate from Essex who, despite my numerous attempts to educate, refers to me as a Yamma. A cultural error made by huge amounts of our countrymen when referring to us Brummies. As is their attempts at our sophisticated accent. Peaky Blinders has helped a little but you know. Nothing wrong with Black Country Villans, I hasten to add. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Won't be easy as utd are not as useless as they use to be unfortunately Be a tough game but im hoping we can cause utd problems and villa park is rocking despite the weather. They will try quiet the crowd early today so we have to be alert from the moment we start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basque would be things like pipes, pandero (tambourine) and accordion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
