Leicesterpool Posted 15 February 2017 Posted 15 February 2017 1 hour ago, The Bear said: Depends which fan you ask. Most hate WBA for obvious reasons so for the majority it will be them. Me personally I hate Blues as they're a tinpot club who've never won anything and their fans think they're more entitled than they are. Yet my mate who I go to games with hates Villa with a passion. I've always found Leicester and their fans to be ok. I work with loads of them so maybe I've just gotten used to them! What about Walsall?
The Bear Posted 15 February 2017 Posted 15 February 2017 Nah. Whenever we play them their fans make a huge deal about it like we're their rivals. But they've been inconsequential to us for years now, apart from the one season we went down to League One not long back. It was quite funny when we played them at their place that season in the league (and won 3-0). Dicko scored the first goal at the opposite end to the Wolves fans and celebrated with Sako by running along in front of their fans with Dicko patting the Wolves badge and Sako giving it the fist in the air. Plus Ikeme who had been getting dogs abuse off the Walsall fans behind the goal all of the second half, some of which he said afterwards were racial comments (“I got called a c**n twice, that is a fact, and GeorgeElokobi got called a black ****, and that is a fact as well."), finally snapped and gave them some back at the final whistle. Some Walsall woman on the local BBC Radio WM phone in after the match was almost in tears complaining about the three of them after the match, and demanding the FA and police do something about it! It was hilarious!! ...... And I still have it saved on YouTube as someone went back and ripped it off Iplayer! Just listen to this: She's literally almost bursts into tears at the 1min 20s mark! You can see Dicko's awful "incitement" at the 30s mark here: Talk about crying over nothing!!

It's very close and I can see why their fans are up for it but from your point of view you don't play them enough. From my point of view as somebody with no connection to the West Midlands, the big derbies will always be Villa/Birmingham and Wolves/West Brom but I can see why you all hate each other.
Matt Posted 16 February 2017 Posted 16 February 2017 Good news for us next season, Championship clubs have agreed in principle to introduce Goal-line technology from next season
daddylonglegs Posted 20 February 2017 Posted 20 February 2017 There's a very real chance Villa could go down. Them being relegated would be our only saving grace in taking some of the spot light off of us this year in terms of candidates for most embarrassing team in England.

A club with big potential, but low budget and need of a rebuild. Not sure how much Venky's have actually done for both the club and it's fans since they took over.
Nalis Posted 21 February 2017 Posted 21 February 2017 Huddersfield march on. Still think Newcastle and Brighton will finish in the top 2 but at least Huddersfield's run makes it interesting.
Wymsey Posted 21 February 2017 Posted 21 February 2017 What's 'The Derby way' approach that they branded themselves as at the start of the season? Pleased for Clough.
Nugent Posted 22 February 2017 Posted 22 February 2017 Going to Burton v Blackburn on Friday night with a Blackburn supporting mate, relegation six-pointer so should be decent, will be nice to watch a game that doesn't involve Leicester too.

Guest FriendlyRam Posted 23 February 2017 Posted 23 February 2017 That's our playoffs push gone a depressing couple months coming up with nothing to play for now, deffo need to get rid of some of the deadwood now imo. It could be worse though, we could be Blackburn

Nigel Pearson knew we weren't going anywhere with these players, tried to start the process of rebuilding and got the sack 3 months into it. We'd have been well into the process if he'd have been the bloody time to sort it, now we're in a even bigger mess because of the sacking, in terms of players not fitting in. Vydra looked dangerous under pearson, and you could see what he was trying to do with the style etc, but it was going to take time to really sort the system out ffs. Morris is a trigger happy owner sadly.
spacemunky Posted 25 February 2017 Posted 25 February 2017 With no early Premier League match in the morning here, I'll catch Leeds/Wednesday.
MC Prussian Posted 25 February 2017 Posted 25 February 2017 Really hoping that the Wednesday make it back to the Premier League. Top club, good fans and a top ground with that nostalgic feel to it - the players' entrance tunnel is unique.
spacemunky Posted 25 February 2017 Posted 25 February 2017 Great atmosphere at Elland Road for this one. I'm pulling for Wednesday to go up too.
Finnegan Posted 25 February 2017 Posted 25 February 2017 that's the quickest I've ever heard TV producers turn down the crowd volume. Elland Road bursts in to a deafening "you're ****ing shit" and boom, silence.
Finnegan Posted 25 February 2017 Posted 25 February 2017 As much as I dislike Leeds, glad to see Chris Wood doing well. Monk as well tbf.
spacemunky Posted 25 February 2017 Posted 25 February 2017 Terrible by Wednesday there lol. Good for Wood!
