The so called "Big Four".

For years l have hated the phrase the "Big Four" of course over the past few years they have stood head and shoulders above the rest but the disdain and lack of respect they show for their rivals, the way they treat others makes me hope that one day that sense of power they hold over the other clubs will soon be broken.

Look at the way the players of Man United and Chelsea have acted when things have gone against them, the way they have harassed and surrounded referee's makes you love it even more when it happens to them.

Of course you respect them and sometimes marvel at the way they play but when they come up against an underdog l defy anybody to say they don't want the underdog to win.

The trouble is the fans, many of whom started supporting the club just because they happened to be top of the league at the time they first got into football. Just like women have fashion accessories most kids had Man United or Liverpool kits just because they were the top teams at the time. Most filtering between the teams as one would be top and then the other and finally choosing one team as they become more dominant

Go back a few years and look at the arrogant way the fans used to behave and they still do it today, we are going to buy this player and we want this player, its as if they have a right to do as they want.

Their fans go on about history as if they are the only clubs to have history and heaven help you if your team beats them.



Which makes this season being a Villa fan even more special.


That is all.
