I'd like to know what allegedly qualifies MON as a Villa legend? Doing a runner days before the start of a new season? Wasting loads of money on average players?


My guess is the succesion of incompetents we have employed since make him look like a legend.

Americans are okay. Fair play to your guy for being at a game and fair play for engaging you in conversation. Anyway we should be more aware of our Aston heritage. Been around a lot longer than the city name hijacked by Small Heath.
He actually joined in our singing, which he was very impressed by, but asked "Why aren't all those other guys singing too?"

"They're Fulham supporters."

He was genuinely gutted when we lost to a late goal.

(Now where have I encountered that before?)

Strange choice to go with "Aston V." on those scarves.

I appreciate space is tight for it (although significantly less tight than it ought to be, *spit*) but surely Villa would have been better?

Anyway. What utterly horrific abominations. I'd probably have bought one, though, just so I could use it to prove to future generations that something so horrendous really did happen.

They were selling scarfs outside the North Stand entrances pre Cup Final that had "We're the famous Aston V and we're off to Wemberlee" on them

'Aston Villa' is a brand name. 'Villa' might be as well.

That does sort of make sense.

I don't think there's anything wrong with it!

There must be a demand for this shit, else they wouldn't be made. i'm guessing it's aimed at tourists who don't go to many games, or maybe just visiting the city and going to the match as a one off, for some kind of souvenir. i'd really doubt either regular Leicester or villa fans would buy that tat.
And who the fu*k ever refers to us as "Aston V."?
A. Villa no problem, but Aston V?



Reminds me of a few years ago in the neutral end at Fulham, the American guy next to me asked "...and for how long have you supported Aston?" I forgave him and informed him: "it's The Villa mate. The Villa!"

Aston V. indeed. Everybody knows it's the Aston V.

Did anyone have a Villa / Celtic hat in the '80s?

I'm sorry but I'm not happy about this. I spent ages doing a dodgy photoshop during work and I need a level of acknowledgement or it will give me a sleepless night!

Couldn't you have changed the word "Leicester" to "Inbred crisp-munchers"?  Other than that, very good work.
