If you want to watch a Villa player/Villa players playing international football, the Scotland game kicks off at 3.
Anyone see Pooneys comments before the game yesterday that Ashley Young and Phil Jones have emerged on the international scene this season? Has he completely ignored his time at Villa?Also on talkshite some brain dead scouser came on the radio and said that Ashley Youngs only become good since he's been working with a good striker, does Darren Bent not count?
I think the national media's coverage of football before World War Two was too limited for any pro/anti-Villa bias to creep in. Most Villa fans would probably have brought the Sports Argus for a Villa fix which would've been pro-Villa as that was best suited to its market.
Any idea where the hatred for Villa started

It would have been much better under the Nazi's. For one I wouldn't have been around to "suffer" this pain!
