Unlike some, I don't have any real dislike of Villa. Sure, their fans were bitter about losing Barry to us and to a lesser extent Milner. Sure, you get some knobhead Villa fans on the internet peddling the ruining football line while blatantly ignoring the fact that Randy pumped a fair bit of cash into the club in the hope of securing CL football before he turned the money tap off. But generally, Villa is a decent away day and their fans share a similar self-deprecating sense of humour that we had during worse times.
That said, I found it highly amusing when coming out of their ground the other week and over-hearing a Villa fan (one who was old enough to know better) saying to someone "I wonder how many they would get if they were bottom of the league". I could, and perhaps should, have given the stupid fucker a history lesson on attendances there and then but I really couldn't be arsed wasting my time with him.
