It sounds like he's got another banner ready for us by this; http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/aston-villa-creator-banner-message-11289676

Ha ha ha! I know! As I said, I've been on an unreal run so thought why not! Ha ha! I never thought I'd be constantly checking an Asian Champions League match on live scores when in the gym hoping for a bastard goal! ha ha!

Aston Villa fans release details of the 'mystery protest' they're planning for Newcastle United game http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/aston-villa-fans-release-details-11287595#ICID=ios_ChronicleNewsApp_AppShare_Click_Other

-3 – in Rafa we trust! I’m confident but I’d be a hell of a lot more so if it wasn’t for that injury time (handball!) goal at Norwich as we’d be two ahead of Sunderland and Norwich would be virtually gone now!

It wasn't bitterness, it was schadenfreude. It's all part of football. The time to worry is when you go down and nobody bats a f***ing eyelid. People go on about 'the banners' but they're talking about two banners which could have been brought by one person for all we know. It's not like we were all riding around the city centre, sat on top of our cars, bibbing our horns and waving flags at 3am in the morning because you'd got relegated. Anyway, we know what it's like now - we've been slowly tortured to death in front of the entire world for one entire season now. We have had loads of p*ss take and media coverage about it and to be honest, it just makes me feel better - that us getting relegated is still 'a story'. Unlike pointless yoyo clubs like Albion or Norwich, up and down so often people forget where they are from one year to the next. This fixture is a great opportunity for you lot to take the p*ss back, and we're going to have to suck it up. The only problem is: 1. Your current league position which may render p*ss taking inadvisable before the end of the match. 2. The fact that that banner posted here is proper s****. Tbh Brummie, it was worse than you probably saw, although granted "bitter" is probably the wrong word to describe it. I've been to numerous away grounds down the years and never experienced the amount of abuse, threats of violence, w*****s taking their turn to get in my face and eyeball me etc as on the train from aston to new st that day. Loads even followed us onto our platform to wring every last bit of p*ss-taking they could out of the day. That is not banter, it's really really odd behaviour. Heard stories from more than one group of fans I see regularly that villa fans were driving up the motorway taunting coaches by waving flags and beeping horns. The banners and singing in stadium were fine and all part of the crack imo but it was after, outside that a large majority (but I would stress not all) of villa fans just seemed to collectively turn into a pack of rabid zombies. That said, it was SEVEN f***ing years ago. That people still seem to be genuinely upset baffles me, and as for the banners in this thread well, Jesus f***ing wept!! Personally, I'd turn up and not even mention the whole thing- as Brummie has alluded to, no-one likes being ignored or feeling unimportant. I resent that the whole Villa thing has basically become part of our culture as a fanbase now. I hate that every time we play Villa the same articles surface in the mag and true faith. It just comes across as very bitter and we used to be bigger and better than that. Those banners were designed to get a rise out of us- 7 years later we're still biting, you couldn't make it up. It's a massive game for NUFC on Saturday, all efforts should go into supporting the manager and the team. And as for the opposition, f*** giving them the attention they want. Aston who?? Totally agree with this - 99% of the ones I encountered pre and post match acted like utter cunts that day! It's just a shame we weren't safe so could fully take the piss on Saturday! I really hope there are no banners on show from our lot mind!

How does Navas start?! He's wank!

Yep - kicked Fernandinho and went down!

Ridiculous how deep he is!

Knows his onions this lad!

Just me who thinks that goal was an own goal?! It wasn't on target until the deflection!

I'm on an unreal run so why not! Ha ha! Come on the Tashes! Ha ha! Big odds for the wins! http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160504/5f47cd091bc65740da870722c56ff5a0.jpg

Real Madrid 4/6 at Sociedad looks a hell of a price!

Great post mate!

20 (twenty!) years ago today - The King

Does anyone know where I can get odds on us winning our last three matches?! I can't finds full listings on any sites and I've even asked Skybet's live chat!

“Newcastle will win on Saturday, I’d have a bet on that if I could,” said Allardyce, ahead of Sunderland’s trip to Stoke City on Saturday. “Newcastle pose the bigger threat [than Norwich] to our survival. “I think they’ll beat Palace and they’ve got Villa, then it depends on what Spurs do there. So I think they’ll win at least two. “Palace are in the FA Cup final and they would all have been celebrating, they would all have been on the pop [alcohol]. “They won’t be mentally ready for it and neither will Alan [Pardew], because he’ll be thinking about the final now, not thinking about Newcastle away. “You’re not going to stop the lads celebrating having got through to a final, particularly Crystal Palace, because it’s such a good achievement for the club, the fans, Alan and the owner, there is such euphoria around the place.

Brilliant stuff! I'm genuinely not arsed in the slightest if we go down as long as he stays - not only is he a top class coach but he comes across as a top class bloke too!
