What's your favourite Villa sound bite?

'If I had a gun I would of shot him'.  JG on Yorke.

You heard that booing at the end? I started it.
Kent Nielsen? Lightning slow......
Our three Bulgarians were on show today, Wouldov Couldov and Shouldov.

I could be here all day quoting BFR.

The top one has to be Ron Saunders after the Ipswich game, followed by SGT at half time against Crewe. Followed by Peter Withe in the dressing room before the crucial Boro game in '81 when the players were saying they were our bogey team and he bluffed that he had never lost to them and always scored against them. Helped by the fact he was suspended when we lost to them earlier in the season. We won and he scored. I still like BFR on the BRMB phone-in the night he got the job in 1991.

Caller "Ron, are you gonna win us a trophy like the blues have just won"?

BFR " hope I don't win you the Leyland Daf cup"!

[Des Little]

'Would you bet against us'?










P.s. Is my question mark in the correct place? I've often wondered.

Shortest thread ever.  Winner with the first post

'we have tried but can't seem to come up with a response that reflects terribly well on us'

What was the context for this again please? I know it was something to do with the unwashed?

"Villa have amazing support. If you hung 11 Villa shirts on a washing line five thousand fans would turn up to watch them."

"No one man will ever own Aston Villa again".  HDE circa 1968.

'Would you bet against us'?

I think not. Mr. Pedant says, "Would you bet against us?"

Correct berneboy.
 Eddie: the question mark is part of the quotation so it goes inside the quotation marks.

I used to teach English...back in the day when we taught punctuation and stuff.

Don't get me started on the apostrophe!

'If I had a gun I would of shot him'.  JG on Yorke.

I'm on a roll here - "would have" or would've".
There's no such usage as "would of".





Write out 50 times and lock yourself in the cupboard under the stairs.


Great choice itbrvilla!

[Villa in Denmark]

"Every time you come back here it must bring back memories Pongo” I said. He stared out for a long while. I thought he’d forgotten I was there. “Aye,” he said suddenly, “aye, they’re a great club…the greatest.” I stood and looked with him, this old man whose goals had set the Villa crowds roaring so long ago. It was not quite dusk on that March afternoon and I saw them too…they were out again, the old ghosts…Jack Hughes, scorer just about one hundred years earlier of Aston Villa’s first goal (perhaps to the very day)…George Ramsay…the Hunter brothers…Willie McGregor…Denny Hodgetts…legion upon legion of them on parade now, filling the field with claret and blue…the century with pride.
