I’m an Albion fan and I’ve got to say that’s pretty damn funny.
How can you make fun of our style of play when you’re below us in the table? Bit pathetic.
Shame you couldn’t get hold of a bus when you were 2 up against Leicester.

I wonder if we could borrow it for future games when we are in the lead with only a few minutes to go.
Even better when it stops outside The Witton Arms so we can have a pint,..come on in ….🍻🍻😀😀
Hahahahaha
The old ones are the best
Let hope the vile can’t hit the side of a double decker bus from five yards
Bus banter at its best
Be quite funny if we actually had a defence like theirs and could have held on to a 2 nil lead!! Still seething about that, bacuna, amavi and lescott looked like clowns.
Brilliant. Laughed my socks off.
Pulis as got another 7center halves to play Saturday he will stop everybody getting on the bus to watch them at this rate I hate the vile but I think they have the better deal in Sherwood.
First time I’ve laughed since Leicester, just hope we have enough time to show we are better than this… and them.
Brilliant….and very true.
Villa will have 90% of the possession unless you get two sent off like Stoke did..Then it will only be 75%.
As an Albion fan this reminded me of travelling to local derbies in the 80’s.
We always used our local coach company based in Stone Cross and because of the friendly welcome from the locals in Witton they always put on the oldest coaches with the worst drivers.
The season we lost 4-3 (1st game of the season) we travelled to Villa Park on a decommissioned double decker bus from the 1950’s. The driver did not know where Villa Park was, so we had to give him directions for the massive 4 mile journey.
On the way back, the driver somehow managed to get us onto the Aston Expressway and then onto the M6 southbound, there we were travelling towards Coventry at 30 MPH with our mulletts flapping about in the wind (as most of the windows had been bricked out). We eventually got back at around 7 PM.
These days, all you have to worry about is which pubs you can drink in. back then all we hoped is that we would get back before closing time!
Great story Dave H! I was at that game too (but at the other end) and it was a classic. Not sure it will be that score this Saturday though…;). Or that we still have our mullets. Enjoy the game whatever the result mate!
Don’t give up your day job,oh he probably ain’t got one unless its in the zoo pool
I like this. Best rival send-up since we were given those dreadful white shirts with the dark blue pinstripe last season. On complaints that we wanted our proper blue and white stripes, a Wolves fan wrote:’Your fans are so fat that once you wear them they will look like wide blue stripes.”
Excellent, and pretty much how I feel at the moment, however 1-0 up with two minutes to play I hope we park the whole station

Any fellow baggies who can’t see the funny side of this are a little dissolusionned or weren’t at the hawthorns last sat. But the truth is, its probably the best way to play villa away, park the bus and wait for a break. But if by any slim chance TP is reading this AWAY FROM HOME FINE, BUT AT THE HAWTHORNS IT IS NOT! you will soon find the baggies fans turn against being Stokeyfied!
Funny that is.
Just remember to bring that sense of humour with you Saturday just in case one of our forwards get’s a nosebleed and heads into your area on 89 minutes with the score locked at 0-0.
Our bus driver Fabibus Delph has deserted us and joined Travel West Mids
The number 11 passes you. You’d better jump on,if you can afford the fare. COYB
