Wasn't he on trial here last season? I'm sure I remember the club mentioning a young winger on trial when we signed the deal with Nas' other club?

First one to come through the multi-club system. Meant to have been highly sort after so we'll see how he develops.

The U18's beat Tottenham's U18's 4-0 over the weekend so that age group looks strong.

I think Eamonn was setting up a 'Pulp Fiction' inspired response, which we already did the last Nas' Egyptian club was mentioned on here.

If just doesn't look right, does it

Do supporters who refer to Villa as 'we', now need to say 'I' instead ?

It.

The Limited Company isn't welcoming the new player, since it's just a few lines of code on the Companies House database. It's the people who make up the club offering the welcome.

My proof-reader and my old English teacher disagree.

Bonapercy, what have I ever done to make you treat me so disrespectfully?

Once again, it is Aston Villa IS, except for when it is Aston Villa ARE. No need for a crusade really. I teach this to French secondary students every year, and they get it.

Love that new Twang one, gets better with each listen. I honestly think they’ve improved with age. A bit like Peace, although they’ve been perfect since their first record, they’re just a bit more profound now.

Perce, The Twang and Peace as bands are a single entity, made up of various people. You're happy to use 'are' and 'they' when talking about them as seen above, why not with a football club like Villa, when it's exactly the same thing?

Because I’m not arsed Either Way. (See what I did there?)

I only react to people saying ‘Aston Villa is’ is wrong, when quite clearly it isn’t.
