Major Isewater Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 I had a good read of ' Villatalk ' last night and I don't see why all the negativity towards them. There are a few who still think they're a massive club but are mostly put straight by the majority however it was pretty much like reading OTIB , just names are changed. I think they handled the situation as well as we would have done. We have had players do the same thing to us in the past . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meh Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 I think the negativity comes due more to the belters on twitter where most of the comments are arrogant in terms of they are a big club. But that is the same with city fans - some of the crazy comments yesterday were embarrassing with one melt doing an RIP and saying we are basically relegated already. I think the fact is you get more sensible/reasoned comments on forums and people prepared to debate a point rather than jumping on the popular opinion bandwagon.

You should take a look at Heroes and Villains as on there they think they are massive. One bellend even said that Spurs were small in comparison to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've dipped out of Hero's and Villains for years and found it a humorous, sarcastic read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Isewater Posted August 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 Reading their ' Bryan ' thread from start to finish was funny as exactly the same things happened as on , I suppose, every forum. A name is broken, some say he's rubbish others that he's good , comparisons with existing player ... Then the inevitable climb down when said player doesn't sign, he's rubbish, why would he choose ' x ' club over us , they'll get relegated we'll go up ... We're all the same.( except the Gas ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get your point about sarcasm but I feel a few on there truly believe that they are a huge club and it is all about their history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yes and you can't live life in the past (as we all know). The reality of the present day kicks in sooner or later. No doubt they are a big club with a fabulous history though. On the flip side I'm pretty sure some on here come across as arrogant ***** to fans of other clubs who come on to OTIB to "see what City are up to". It happens on all clubs forums. Reading stuff from Chelsea you'd never believe that not so long ago they didn't have a pot to piss in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnderMB Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 I think a lot of the negativity comes from the fact that they've spent money, despite all the warnings of FFP. A lot of clubs actively won't spend money because of FFP, so if one club bucks that trend and buys enough talent to try and guarantee promotion it makes other fans jealous.

Quite agree, there were a fair few posters who said that they couldn't blame Bryan as the chance to play in the Premier was a no-brainer and also because he wasn't a Villa player he owed them nothing.
