Thank f**k that Windows closed, all the speculation about players we might sign and we only end up with one.
Tbf, in the 90s at least it was reciprocated.Nah, over 30 and the "hate" of Villa was always us. They never seemed to have their hearts in it.
I find it mad really that it's almost a quarter of a century since we were last there
Not sure lots of incoming and outgoings are great. Takes time for players to move and find their feet at a new club. Obviously hoping Matt Grimes adapts quickly.Burnley, Hull, Middlesbrough & Sheff Utd had phenomenal transfer windows

Where has he fallen from?Interesting how far he’s fallen
Same. Loving the journey trying to get there and want to help secure the club as long as it’s sensibly invested.I honestly don’t miss it. I love the competitiveness of the championship and financial benefits aside, I’m really not that fussed about the premier league
Well one of them made it!As well as Thorn being seen as a potential future England manager, at one point Armstrong was touted as a future star striker on here.

Midlands representation in the Prem consisted of us and them for that decade.
Premier league first choiceWhere has he fallen from?
He's just another in a long line of strikers that are mustard in the championship and anonymous in the premPremier league first choice
Available for loan
Interesting opinions in that thread. I do remember saying at the time (not on fora) that I didn't think Maddison would make it either.Well one of them made it!
Maddison & Armstrong in the England Senior Team Together...
Maybe? Someday? Armstrong looks like the real deal, is Madderz?www.skybluestalk.co.uk

Zero interest in PL, hate what’s it’s become.
Guess I’d like us to get there for my kids more than anything also. So I don’t have to bore them of my stories
Depends how far above 30...Before your time maybe, but not before mine.
VILLA will always be the most hated club amongst any Cov fan I would say above the age of 30.
Leicester, Derby, Sunderland all hated, but Villa on top of that list by a mile.
I think it depends on what part of Cov you are from as to whether you see Leicester or Villa as your rival, just as it depends on what part of Leicester you are from as to whether you see Cov or Forest as your rival. I don’t think it’s an age thing.Depends how far above 30...
When I first got hooked, we were Division 1 and Villa were Division 3.
The real rivalry back then (late 60s) was Wolves as I recall.
We’re sometimes so desperate to get to the premier league we don’t even enjoy the great seasons we’ve had the last few years.I honestly don’t miss it. I love the competitiveness of the championship and financial benefits aside, I’m really not that fussed about the premier league
Just given Hill83 a laughing emoji for his comeback to Grendel a whole decade ago... is it ever too late?Well one of them made it!

I’m 31 and my first game was 2003 so I’ve never seen us play Villa.Before your time maybe, but not before mine.

I get the others but why Derby?

Insightful.They're cunts.
Always reassuring to receive a comprehensive explanationInsightful.
Also 31, been going since the mid 90’s, can remember the last 2 or 3 years of top flight and the Villa hatred means absolutely fuck all to me either.
Not sure I hate any club more than the other tbh, all cunts.
I always remember one occasion when we had beaten Villa at home in the 80's. There was a bloke Infront of us with his lad who must have been about 6. The son said " We shit on the Villa didn't we dad ". He'd obviously picked up on the song.We really didn't like villa back then .. there is also a big thread on villatalk about how much they despise us aswell but it's mostly people from mine to my dads generation talking about matches from the 80s and 90s
The second paragraph is one of the worst paragraphs in forum history.I don't 'hate' any club. In fact I really don't like the whole 'hate' thing, even for Leicester. I love the City, end of, after that it's pointless, absolutely pointless. Similarly I will always back a British team over other countries - Scotland for instance
I have a few 'second' clubs whose score I look out for, mostly since childhood, notably MKDons (really admire what they have done), Sheffield Wednesday, Alloa Athletic (family connection) and Oldham (first game I saw - v Bradford). Quite like Villa as well as financially they are biggest midland club. When I was growing up everybody else on the estate supported Villa, then Jimmy Hill came along and the rest is history...
MK Dons? Has to be a wind up, surely?I don't 'hate' any club. In fact I really don't like the whole 'hate' thing, even for Leicester. I love the City, end of, after that it's pointless, absolutely pointless. Similarly I will always back a British team over other countries - Scotland for instance

I’d say 35 plus. There will be people in their early 30s who’ve never seen us play them.Before your time maybe, but not before mine.

Jesus christ that's a depressing thing to realise.I’d say 35 plus. There will be people in their early 30s who’ve never seen us play them.
