Petrov training with them again, Villa fans resuming the outpouring of love.
Do I remember correctly that they used to give him dogs abuse before he became ill?
Yes you do remember correctly, but then many of our supporters give dog's abuse to several of our players.
I've had the 'pleasure' of being amongst the Vilers on their own pilchard heap on several occasions. I have always felt the need to scrub myself clean thereafter, further the sheer cr@p that many of them espouse to be footballing 'knowledge' never ceases to amaze. One such occasion which springs to mind was when we lost 2-1 there under Mowbray, the game where Scott Carson let one squirm under him.
I was sat a couple of rows and about four seats to the right of their dug out, which was easily within hearing distance of my seat. To be fair to the Viler's, they were giving most of their players (and MON) dogs abuse throughout the game, so it's not just Petrov
.
What struck me was that so much of their wisdom/abuse bore no resemblance to anything that was occurring on the pitch. It was just constant drivel, with smart @rses trying to out smart fellow smart @rses in their general twatishness. Believe me this took some serious doing as I am sure you are able to imagine.
Serious dumbf(kery of the very highest order.
On reflection, I have absolutely no idea why this was such a surprise to me at the time.
