Wallsendmag Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 People are in denial about how hated we were/are. Would have been the same reaction at any other club that day. That must be why a year later the Plymouth fans were celebrating our promotion with us even though they'd just been relegated themselves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That must be why a year later the Plymouth fans were celebrating our promotion with us even though they'd just been relegated themselves. A team we've played 22 times in nearly 125 years of existence and have had nothing to do with at all beyond that. We're widely derided amongst fellow PL supporters: deluded, boycoutt, horsepunching, SSN wongaloids, jealousy, rank individual after rank individual being associated with the club, 'hounding out' English managers. You've got your head in the sand if you think otherwise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Plymouth I don't understand the ongoing hatred for Villa. I bear a footballing grudge longer than anyone but we beat them 6-0 on the first day back. That was more than enough satisfaction to draw a line under it, and I say that as someone who was at Villa Park. It's not like we were cheated or hard done by - "football fans in 'taking piss' shocker" Prefer to focus my hatred on the people responsible for that relegation (and more than likely this one too).

Foluwashola Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Have probably been to Villa park more than any other away ground and Villa fans are the absolute worst. That day was their fans were an embarrassment and it shouldn't be forgotten. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got your head in the sand if you think otherwise. Again you take too much notice of social media and the like. Match going fans of other Premier League clubs, with one or two exceptions, don't dislike us anymore than anyone else. In fact if anything the opposite is true and a trip to Newcastle us widely regarded as a favourite one which is the reason why we see so many away fans drinking in and around Newcastle with home supporters which doesn't happen at a lot of places. Likewise when I used to be a regular away traveller we were always well received by home fans with only a few exceptions. The problem these days is places like this, twitter and Facebook give the minority a voice to spout rubbish which in time becomes gospel but when you get out into the real world it's a completely different scenario.

Wallsendmag Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I've never been outside of Newcastle or spoken to anyone who isn't a Newcastle fan in the real world so your response is much appreciated. Evidently not. For the record we played Liverpool in the away game previous to Villa. I was at both games and the reaction was completely opposite at both stadiums. Liverpool battered us 3-0 which in truth could have been 6 or 7. Everyone at Anfield that day knew we were down but the reaction of the Liverpool fans outside the ground that day couldn't have been different to at Villa Park. Handshakes outside the ground and every single Liverpool fan we spoke to afterwards had genuine sympathy for our plight and wished us well for the future. The hatred before and after the match at Villa Park was just bizarre. I don't think it could have been any worse if we had been at Sunderland that day.

Bimpy474 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 When were Plymouth in the Premier League? When we were promoted that night, they were relegated to League One at the same time, i think he might mean. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallsendmag Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Sooooooooooooooo........ Liverpool are alright then after all? Personally never had a problem with them. Been to Anfield about a dozen times watching NUFC and always found them decent even after the 2 times I seen us win there. Certainly far more pleasant than the supporters of the team at the other side of Stanley Park, again just speaking from personal experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Crooks Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 There's always wanker fans with every fanbase and the hollowest vessels make the loudest sounds unfortunately. I grew up with many Villa fans and I wouldn't say we're hated or they are particularly wankers. Especially in the last few years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I'm not going to pretend my biases are justified. I dislike Spurs because they are a club of similar size who are much better than us. I'm jealous. And I dislike Alli. I'd be happy for Kane, Pocch and their ethos tbh if they won the league.... but i still dislike them. I liked Chelsea without Mourinho but with Didier.

The College Dropout Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I tend to find fans of other clubs fairly balanced - except Arsenal. Liverpool and Man U away fans always seemed decent to me and I hate them the most. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Never had a good experience with Villa fans or Birmingham fans. When I had a season ticket I saw some Birmingham fans trying to figure out where they needed to go, I offered help but I just got told to fuck off. On holiday one time there was a few lads from Birmingham (both Villa and Birmingham fans), mouthy pieces of shit, trying to give it the big I am. I played football with them once and this fucking giant gangly thing (I honestly thought it was Peter Crouch) went over the top to shoulder barge me right into the 5 aside fencing, later in the match I shoulder barged him and and he was asking what the hell I was doing like a fanny who can dish it out and can't take it. People from Birmingham have a chip on their shoulder, maybe it's because they come from a city thats full of concrete monstrosities and have a depressing voice that makes them sound as though they need either a box of Prozac, or some fucking razor blades.
