Title: WBA v Villa Post by: michael on Sunday, September 21, 2008, 11:10:49 Always liked the Brummie derbies, and some good chanting in this one... "one Gareth Barry" met with a chorus of boos and returned with "one greedy bastard".
No idea which set of fans are singing which part though! Title: Re: WBA v Villa Post by: Rich Pullen on Sunday, September 21, 2008, 11:12:34 I loved the observations... which was bascially along the lines of
"wouldn't it be funny if Curtis Davies scored... with his head!" Hilarious :) Title: Re: WBA v Villa Post by: Bogus Dave on Sunday, September 21, 2008, 11:15:00 Why are these two not massive rivals, when their closer to each other than any other set of teams in the region?
Title: Re: WBA v Villa Post by: michael on Sunday, September 21, 2008, 11:17:25 Locally they are huge rivals Dave, but it's only recently that they have had games against each other again and got national coverage.
Title: Re: WBA v Villa Post by: Bogus Dave on Sunday, September 21, 2008, 11:19:10 Oh really? Its just you always hear of west brom-wolves rivalry, but never of this one. Its a bit odd
Title: Re: WBA v Villa Post by: michael on Sunday, September 21, 2008, 11:21:03 You're right with that, and Villa traditionally are rivals with Birmingham but with the bluenoses and WBA yo-yoing up and down for the last 5 years then this one has definitely developed.
Title: Re: WBA v Villa Post by: Reg Smeeton on Sunday, September 21, 2008, 11:24:51 Always liked the Brummie derbies. West Bromwich isn't in Birmingham. The Brummie derby is Blues v Villa. WBA v Wolves is the Black Country derby. Title: Re: WBA v Villa Post by: michael on Sunday, September 21, 2008, 11:28:15 So this one hasn't even got a proper name yet. Better get Sky tv on the case!
Title: Re: WBA v Villa Post by: michael on Sunday, September 21, 2008, 11:30:23 2 0 to Villa now.
I do like Villa, in Big Brad and MON they have some of my favourite football people on their staff. Potentially could put out an English XI as well I think? Title: Re: WBA v Villa Post by: Rich Pullen on Sunday, September 21, 2008, 11:30:44 West Bromwich isn't in Birmingham. The Brummie derby is Blues v Villa. WBA v Wolves is the Black Country derby. I feel almost ashamed that you had to explain that Reg ;D Title: Re: WBA v Villa Post by: Bogus Dave on Sunday, September 21, 2008, 11:32:37 West brom is closer to villa and birmingham than it is wolves though isnt it? Madness
Title: Re: WBA v Villa Post by: alanmayes on Sunday, September 21, 2008, 11:33:42 West Bromwich isn't in Birmingham. The Brummie derby is Blues v Villa. WBA v Wolves is the Black Country derby. It was even better when Steve Bull was playing for Wolves.being an ex Baggie. Title: Re: WBA v Villa Post by: michael on Sunday, September 21, 2008, 11:33:56 I put my hands up for making this mess, I should have referred to it as a Midlands derby rather than a Birmingham one.
Reg wouldn't have had to get his hands dirty if I had been more vigilant at the outset. Title: Re: WBA v Villa Post by: michael on Sunday, September 21, 2008, 11:34:31 2-1 now. Great atmosphere. Mint game.
Title: Re: WBA v Villa Post by: sonic youth on Sunday, September 21, 2008, 11:49:20 the blackbrum derby?
tis a good game. Title: Re: WBA v Villa Post by: JPC82 on Sunday, September 21, 2008, 16:01:02 Villa look very good this season, great core through the team Friedel Laursen Barry Agbonlahor Carew.
Ashley Young currently one of the best players in the league, get him in that england squad, Milner and Cueller on the bench today things looking very bright for them Title: Re: WBA v Villa Post by: Don Rogers Shop on Sunday, September 21, 2008, 16:05:17 Fancy villa for the top 4 this year
