Forgive the geeky sounding title!
I just had a quick look at Villa's Facebook page and have noticed that the city where we have most "likes" is no longer Birmingham...but Cairo! Just wondering if anyone might have any theories as to why we are so popular in Egypt?

Have those very rich Arabs been spotted in B6 again?

That's a nice thought!
I'm just wondering if the club has been targeting that area and promoting the club out there? I know they've started showing AVTV programmes on various satellite platforms and I just wonder if this might be a result of doing that?
-
Well if they showed last seasons games maybe Egyptians like crap football. ;)
-
Its all part of a dodgy pyramid scheme.
Something sphinx around here.
I think we should call the fez.
-
Maybe Doug was one of the pioneers of the pyramid selling.
-
By any chance, does Aston Villa mean something rude or funny in egyptian?

Maybe the club have been trying to Horus around North Africa.

Apparently when they showed THAT Bolton game the commentator said "Well that's the straw that broke the camels back."
Which immediately endeared us to our massive Egyptian following.
-
Things like this scare me. I want my mummy.

Apparently even after the Bolton game a lot of Egyptian fans were in De Nile.

We'll have to sign up that Moses lad from Wigan.

Things like this give me the hump.

.. and Cleopatra said: "I don't give a Mark Antony about any other club: where can I get the asp for Aston Villa for my smart phone?!"

Isn't that stat about people talking most about the page at the moment (rather than actual likes). I guess a lot of people are looking at El Ahmadi story and I think (might be wrong) that Morroco is twitchy about social media so maybe people fake their accounts to be set up in Egypt. Or something like that.......

Or they've heard how we managed to get rid of our leader quickly and without bloodshed.
If only the Arab Spring of 2011 could have been achieved by hanging out the bedsheets and booing loudly!

Yep, you just might be right as it's back to saying Birmingham is the most popular city.
