Big Sam's press conference

[DaveP67 is back!]

Interesting whilst a Wo1ve5 supporter as a youth he used to come and watch us, hopefully some of the true DNA of the club will have sunk in to the extent that the football we play is positive, time will tell.

That’s the way it was ‘in the old days’ before saturation of football on tv. We used to go to the match at The Hawthorns every Saturday and most midweeks.

When we weren’t playing at home on a Saturday (no car) we went to Villa Park to watch the match there as we could get there direct by train. That said we never went to Molineaux as a neutral as would never have considered doing so!

We attended so many Villa games we went to every semi final at Villa Park in the mid to late 60s as we qualified to do so based upon the number of vouchers we saved from their match day programmes.

I used to quite enjoy the games at Villa Park as a neutral because you were not bothered either way who won and you appreciated the game more. I think that is why (born 1951) I have no hatred of Villa to this day.

As a kid I could not follow Albion away very often as pocket money would not run to it but me and my mates would sometimes go down Villa Park if Albion were away but we always stood with the away supporters and desperately wanted whoever it was to win. I have stood and cheered with Blues fans, Tottenham, Millwall, Bolton to name a few. Hence there are only three things I can say I actually hate and as a Christian I should not hate at all. But, we are all fallible so I absolutely hate and detest anything to do with the Vile so much that it borders on a psychological disorder. The other things I hate are bullies and cruelty involving animals.
