Yeah, I think they beat them 1-0 when Shearer was in charge. Villa fans were savage with them that day and the toon have cried about it ever since.
The whole thing was odd to us. We'd never previously had any issues with Villa or them with us but when we turned up that day there was a host of fans (the minority of the stadium granted) who were revelling in the idea of us going down, they'd made a bunch of signs and placards. As an average Newcastle fan it just came out of the blue and to this day I don't really get what they were doing. Loved the karma of watching them go down straight after and will love it again if they go down this season. Prior to then I'd have said I quite liked Villa but apparently modern football is 10% supporting your own team and 90% hating everyone else. Fun times.
Honestly just found it odd and OTT. If it had been you guys or Boro it'd at least have made sense. They've been through the ringer themselves since so it's all evened out really.
Is that not just how football is, though? We have no problem with Man Utd and had a right laugh at their expense when City pipped them to the title. If it was the other way around we would have given City some stick. I just seen what Villa done as football banter.
No idea what petition you are talking about. Mark Campbell is a failed businessman. He couldn’t provide the funds to purchase Falkirk for 500k so no idea how he’ll afford to buy Sunderland.
We have properly fallen away now. We’ll be lucky to hit the Championship in 10 year. I honestly think we’ll face another relegation before we see a promotion.
pains me to say it but I hope things turn around. north east football needs better representation than it has for too long
I think you're right and if they'd just laughed at us it'd have been fine tbh. It was the prep work that went into it that surprised me. When you lot laughed at Man Utd I don't recall pre-made banners around the stadium mocking them and showing you'd spent the previous day or so planning how you were going to mock them. Oh well, **** them, they're trash now anyway. Hope they go bust
I like the way it’s the preemptive element of the wum that’s boiled the collective Geordie piss here. Villa put a shift in there, it’s to be respected.
Correction: their fans put in a shift. I'm not sure I've ever seen a Villa team put in a shift. I can honestly say that if Everton, or the like, came to us in the face of relegation I'd be disappointed if our fans were so focused on the demise of the opposition team. It reeks of a small club mentality and Villa aren't a small club. Laugh about it at the match and walk away, more effort than that for teams who aren't your rivals is just odd to me. PS. Best not606 poster was/is a Villa fan. So good ones do exist!
all the other arseholes think like those arseholes so you're wasting your time ...The same arseholes would be saying what you're saying if they were victims of the other arseholes
