It's just banter. We're football fans, we have a good old chuckle at our rival's misfortunes, they have a laugh at ours. There's no real malice in it (for most people). I know plenty of baggies, blues and Wolves fans and they're all good people. I would never put any of them down. But the club they support? Of course I will. It doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things, does it? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fruitvilla Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Just now, Giro said: Lol so I should be annoyed the baggies aren’t doing good? I never said that. I simply tried to suggest don't revel in someone else's misery. Pretty much every year teams go down and come up. I have my preferences as no doubt you do. West Brom look like they are going down. It appears to be your preference. Fair enough. Villa escaped going down last year by a smidgen. I can only imagine the wailing and gnashing of teeth from Villa fans if that happened. Would Villa fans have deserved the disparagement from West Brom fans? Well apparently yes (if you had your way) because they are no different from Baggies fans.

I was the only Villa supporter that I know of. Went past St Andrews most school days. Take my interaction with Giro ... do you get the sense it is just banter?

What the hell you in about. You suggesting we dont have class because we are enjoying and bantering in albions misery? If you cant enjoy the banter why you watchin football?

SuperTed Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 2 hours ago, fruitvilla said: Here's my take. There is enough negativity on this forum already. Why take joy in someone's plight? Villa fans at times wonder where they get their bad reputation. You’re a Baggies fan, aren’t you pal? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I know is, it is just banter for everybody I know. I don't know anybody who genuinely hates any fans of any club. Even the thread you referenced about which fans we hate the most, you'll notice the word hate is in quotation marks; nobody in their right mind actually hates these people, only in the context of supporting football clubs.

SuperTed Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Just now, fruitvilla said: Nooooooo! Hmmm. Given the little celebration you had for us when we were relegated, with the loss to Fulham in the play off final and the reaction when Rodriguez scored that handball equaliser (these are just a few I can think of in recent years) yes I will revel in your misery a wee bit. There’s no malice, my Father-in-Law is a die hard Baggies fan and we both give as good as it gets. No point trying to be morally superior over whose overpaid twenty somethings are better than the others. I strongly dislike some Villa fans I know too for what it’s worth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
