Always liked Villa as one of the big traditional clubs and remember their European cup win well.
Also never met a plastic Villa fan. Sure there must be some but in London it is all plastic Arsenal, West Ham, Chelsea, Millwall, Man Utd and in particular Liverpool.
And Liverpool, York City, Northampton Town, Dundee United (not Dundee, obviously), Nuneaton, Eichede, Eintracht Rheine, Erzgebirge Aue, Épernay Champagne...
Apart from the obvious (Charlton) who else should be on that list?
Always look fondly back on my trips to St Andrews, home fans carrying toddlers spitting and throwing things over the fence that separated them from us bewildered away fans

My memory exactly. People snarling and yes some spitting. Also remember Jasper Carrot coming onto the pitch making jokes at our expense. One of the clubs I like to dislike.

JC was dressed head to foot in beige if I remember correctly

One of the most satisfying results I’ve ever witnessed was us drawing 0 0 with them at that game, denying them a play off place.
We had to win and other results go our way to claim automatic promotion. The wanker of an announcer kept giving the scores of the other games throughout play as they were going against us. Illic had a worldly game and denied them several times.
As others have said, hordes of scumbags at the fence after the game gobbing and trying to get to us.
Hope they get sucked into the relegation places, can’t stand them.

I launched into a massive expletive rant at Carrot and slagged him off the whole journey home the unfunny Brummie twat. All the time my wife was keeping quiet and silently regretting buying tickets to see him at the Orchard for my birthday :-)
I noticed as soon as the second Villa goal went in (10 mins left), Steve Bruce told the sub to get ready to replace a striker. The guy came on to play "in front of the back four to protect them".

Yes, and them laughing at us because we didn't get automatic promotion - but we stopped them getting into the play-offs. weird.
tbh I don't mind either club but I would prefer Villa not to get promoted otherwise it glosses over the past few years of them being sh*te & it would seem like they deserved to be back in the Premiership.

If they get promoted then they do deserve to be back in the Premier League

In 1998 my Mum came with me and my Dad to her first Charlton game away at St Andrews.
Their fans were livid after the game with us for some reason or other, even though it was a 0-0 draw. Think it was the Jasper Carot game.
Lots of spitting and aggression at our fans as we came out. Some bloke called my Mum 'cockney scum', and she responded with 'we aren't technically cockneys, you fucking idiot'.
Still taken aback to this day by how majestic her banter was in that moment.

Had a fire extinguisher thrown at my head at that game by one of those grubby c**ts. Hope they go down.
Was also at the 0-0 game up there. Aside from the rather unhappy lot outside after my abiding memory of the day was a skinhead Birmingham fan below us dressed in a long black leather jacket like some mafia don who spent about 90% of the game looking at the away fans working out which one he wanted to kill after the game

Best goalkeeping display I've ever seen on that day.

Up the villa
I was asking only the other day where he was playing his football .
Getting slated by the commentator who thought he should have been red carded after his latest reckless tackle.
Having a very poor afternoon it seems.
'Like I said, the main thing was to get the three points' x5.

I wonder if Karl was watching ?

That's how promotion and relegation work.
