One of my author friends here in Chicago has a dedicated Villa blog. He not only writes about his views post match, but also does a "Villan of the week" piece that gives a fan stateside an opportunity to tell their story about how they became a Villa fan, and some other interesting facts. Hopefully some of you will find it worth a read too. Here is the latest Villan of the week piece...http://astonvillausablog.wordpress.com/2013/12/06/villan-of-the-week-mike-reed/

The advent of billionaire owners makes that moot now, but if we did hit the big time we already have an established world base core support. Add the hangers on when we'd win trophies and we would be huge.

I know it is corny, but we really do see other Villa supporters as part of our extended family, and as Mike mentioned in his interview, it doesn't matter where you come from, or how long you have been away, you are always welcomed into the group with open arms! That is the way you build long term support.
Here's my take on today's game. Very cathartic to rip into this bunch of jokers:"I’ve always hated slapstick comedy. It may have been clever, and genuinely hilarious back before movies had sound. But time marches on, and I feel that falling over or lack of spatial awareness isn’t enough to merit plaudits. Which is unfortunate, because I follow a team that are masters of the art.
