Perhaps you confuse the terms "sections of your fans" and "consensus". A consensus is a unanimity. A few people with bed sheets is not the same as "all the fans".
Why, who dislikes us? I work in view of the Hawthorns and the Baggies fans there don't hate Villa. There's banter, but no hate. Perhaps you are mixing up your opinions with those of all the baggies fans. Being a moderator on a fan site, I'd have thought you'd know how dumb it can be to speak on behalf of others.
Not at all, there are Albion supporters which see you as the main derby and dislike you on that front. We've also spent too long in your shadows and again, a dislike stems through that.
I appreciate some supporters will have supported McLeish, and credit to them, but there was many who refused to give him a chance, and the crowds and reactions of some fans certainly reflected that, even though the football was poor, and I'll admit to that.
As for my dislike comment, it comes through previous questionnaire's I've done and comments on other football forums, and twitter etc. You're viewed as the arrogant one, whereas Blues and Wolves are the less friendlier supporters and we're the likeable club in the midlands. Whether you agree with that is totally up to you.
I didn't mean to offend anybody with the images, I thought the previous poster was having a dig at ourselves and perhaps reacted a bit over the top.
Regardless of that, Sunday will be a close enncounter. Think we edge it in terms of quality but I think you'll make up for that in heart and desire.
If you do beat us, fairplay, but I won't go and hide, I shall come here, take my punishment and congratulate you on your result. Saying that, think it'll be a scoredraw.
