Has the time come...

.... For Blues and villa, as clubs, to try to build a few bridges and defuse what is becoming a very toxic rivalry, filled with genuine hate. And I mean hate.
It's always been a very hostile Derby, but I feel that recently it has become increasingly nasty.

Don't get me wrong. I have no love for them, I am guilty of these feelings of hate too, more and more.

They keep giving us reasons to hate them and what they're all about, and let's be honest, today, actions taken by an individual Blues fan have played right into their hands and propped up their superiority complex.

Now I'm in no way hoping we can foster some kind of Liverpool /Everton love in, or some West London faux rivalry, where top bantz is fired across a coffee lounge, but it's getting silly now, and even before all this saftness today, I was dreading today's game because the thought of losing to that bunch of complete tossers was almost too much to contemplate because I "hate" them so much.

Things are going to get out of hand soon. Should the clubs move to defuse this mutual hatred or not?
