Rob LAUGHS at the Blues, don’t we all

Had a very heavy night on the booze Friday, so I had a nice lie in on Saturday. In fact I was asleep when my cellphone started buzzing (calm down Ashley) not long after 2pm. The incoming messages made it pretty plain that Portsmouth had done football a huge favour by knocking small heath out [...]

Rob El Cid hates losing especially at Wembley and by a poor ref

As Villa didn’t have a game on Saturday I put The Jeff Stelling show on TV. Hoping for the teams around us to drop a bollock, and of course small heath NOT to get another flukey one-goal win. Which is EXACTLY what the Scummers did. “Penalty at Birmingham” reported Matt Le Tissier, “but he’s conned [...]

View from the North Stand – Rob is very positive this week

Years ago, I remember laughing when someone suggested football should switch to a “summer” game due to bad winters causing postponements and fixture chaos. Now I’m an old phart I totally agree with this……the weather this year as royally pissed me off. Can’t remember the last time I went to Villa Park and didn’t need [...]

This week Blues take the blast from Rob – View from the North Stand

God I think I’m going to heave. Yet again small heath get an injury time goal, this time from Agent Ridgewell, to give the Unwashed another fortuitous win in the FA Cup. I’m convinced if we beat Palace we’ll be playing these cretins in the last 8. Oh joy. Not. ************** Well, I was wrong [...]

The supporters that get up Rob’s nose

View from the North Stand Some Villa supporters are strange, to put it mildly. Some are deranged enough to want small heath to win. That’s the small heath that have only one aim in their existence, and that’s to beat Villa. It riles me that with the scummers just behind us in the league, some [...]

View from the North Stand – Angry this week

Another great instalment from Rob El Cid but beware he swears a bit ! Just saw a bit of the African nations Cup tie between Algeria and Egypt. “Bad blood” is putting it mildly. Algeria rightly had 3 players sent off…….worst of which was our old friend Nadir Belhadj. Remember him committing an atrocious tackle [...]

Rob El Cid’s Column – View from the North Stand

Welcome to the 2nd of Rob’s new column, may not be the taste to many (swearing included) but I love it !!!! Not much to view this week, with our cup semi at Blackburn and the league game at Wigan both being postponed because it’s a bit cold. Fucking hopeless this country. They don’t have [...]
