Some good points talksaft, I suppose its easy to get caught up in the Cloughie era, when you look at the bigger picture, Villa are the bigger club! But my god it gets rammed down our throat on every occasion, they still live on the 1982 bus and get off at memory lane. Unfortunately for me, our best era preceded my birth in 1976, I've looked at 1000 programs and cuttings and reports from then, my only regret as an Albion fan was not being around then to enjoy them.
I've had the dross of the late 80's and probably our grimmest time in the early 90's under Talbot & Gould et al, but we have come out the other side and we are a far stronger club from our experiences. What I wont do is rub my Villa mates noses in it because I have a little more class than that, but it doesn't stop me chuckling my balls off and taking some enjoyment in their demise!!
