Germanvilla – why, when you have the perfect excuse not to, do you support the Villa?
I was at the Man City game yesterday with 17 members of the German Villans, the official German supporters' club. They started supporting Villa for a variety of reasons: our history, the stadium, the name, the colours, the fact that we beat the hated Bayern Munich in the European Cup Final. But having adopted us, they're as loyal and passionate (and, yesterday, as critical) as the rest of us. Even after Villa's performance in Manchester they're planning their next visit. I think their answer to your question would be "I just do. They're my team."
