It’s a shame for Clark like but like with Ritchie’s injury getting Willems in the side making us better, I see this doing similar.

 

Can see him picking Dummett though.

Still hate them from the first relegation season. Smash em.

Their fans were still bad in the 2nd relegation season, despite being already down themselves.

 

Their fans come across as weird bellends, but I can totally see why fans of other clubs like to goad our fans. As a collective we're easy targets and really don't help ourselves.

Goad? Aye, maybe. To go to the lengths of taking specially painted bed sheets, twice. Bewildering.

One team I’d want us beat this season, irrespective of what’s going on with the fat cunt.

 

Could never want this lot to win

 

With you on this one. Hope we annihilate them.

 

Yep - Villa are snides, would be delighted if we win this one.

I’m in Wolverhampton on Monday night :lol:

 

Hope you're up to date with all your vaccinations, HTT.

 

Wolves fans are odd. No bad feeling or anything resembling rivalry between the clubs, until they finished above us for the first time in almost 40 years, and since then they can't stop singing about us.

 

I don't get it. It's like they're apeing Coventry fans, who loathe us and sing songs about us all the time, yet I have barely met a single one of our fans who gives a shit about them. It's weird.

I’m constantly in Wolves, they are an odd bunch indeed. I was there last Thursday for the first time since before August and I noticed a growing hostility towards Villa like! I’m actually tempted to go there and watch this as a neutral if I can. Villa was my first ever away game and my fave away ground. What’s the chances of getting tickets for this?

Feel like we've not seen much from you this season, brummie[/member]. What do you make of your start/new signings?

 

I'd rather be higher up the table, but it's all very tightly bunched so not worried yet.

 

I am enjoying watching us, we try to play some good stuff, and have in spells looked very good. It's noticeable that we have a style of play. I saw a post on the Bruce thread here a few minutes ago about you getting results was about players rather than the manager, and I think that's spot on, that's what it was like for us under Bruce. I don't feel that way now.

 

There's a kinship at the moment between fans and team / manager which I have not really seen in a very long time. I read a post somewhere by a Villa fan saying that we've always loved the club and now we love the team, too, and mushily sentimental though that sounds, there's a definite element of truth in it. Crowds are up - every match sold out so far - but the most noticeable thing is the support, even when they're losing, they get the support because we can see that there's at last a defined plan.

 

We've had rich owners before and there were some good times under Lerner, but looking back, it was all a bit brainless - spend, spend, spend and then get bored and watch it die. This lot seem properly genuine.

 

I am enjoying going to the match again after 6 or 7 years of it being like a second job or something.

 

As for the signings - Engels, Heaton, Mings, Luiz, Nakamba - all quality. Trezeguet meh. Targett shit, Wesley weird (one week excellent, the next embarassing), Jota hard to tell. So many signings, though, it is bound to take a dozen games for them to gel.

 

We were basically left to rot for 5 or 6 years. Bruce was testing at times, awful towards the end, but nothing like as bad as the Lambert Mcleish years. The most important thing was surviving Lerner - incredible that his final act of incompetence was to sell to a con man - and get back on our feet.

 

The play off final this year was magnificent, as was the 10 game winning run, but what made it all better was the fact that a year previously we were actually facing a winding up order, we'd been so badly run.

 

Frightening times, and I suspect that's got a lot to do with the positivity now - a feeling you can not take things for granted.
