It's had its day. But it's absolutely right that the 'urchins' or provincial towns/cities have a cheeky stab at the big club, and lets face it - they are the biggest club in the region, and I mean the whole of the Midlands not just West. There's the indignation of course of witnessing a minority of your own potential support having their heads turned by the allure of the local 'big glamour club', I hope that is the main factor in our vitriol and not a case of us jumping on Small Heath's bandwagon.
Having a 'cheeky stab' is one thing but when it becomes relentless and seemingly a preoccupation then it can become a bit embarrassing to be honest.
