I've never heard of him either. But if I can add him to my long list of people who irritate and annoy me then that would be great. Especially with a name like Rupert.

He was on the pitch with the fans after the FA Cup QF v West Brom - I recall him tweeting a photo at the time.

He's a racing journalist and broadcaster from Cheltenham. He attends matches home and away judging by his twitter feed and sounds as pissed off as the rest of us.
His son works for ITV racing.

Didn't Man City once ask fans to suggest what a stand at one end of the ground should be called and Man U fans tried to hijack the vote suggesting Colin Bell ?

He comes across as a sound bloke.  When he tweeted the photo he was making the point that it was a good-natured pitch invasion with families and kids taking part.

I've heard him talk about us before on the wireless. As mentioned, he does the racing and sometimes golf. His brother is Martin Bell, racehorse trainer. He's just a fan, can't see anything wrong in that.

Probably something that WittonWarrior didn't like so he's condemned him as a fake Villa fan who never goes to games...

To be honest the comments on here has made me think he just panders to the microphone on talkshite.  I bow to people who know him better.

He must be a fan then if he talk us down (I should imagine 90% of fans over the last 6 years have talked us down)

I must be the exception. I think languishing in the lower reaches of tier two is tremendously exciting. Especially when one minute you could be getting your ass handed to you on a plate by Brentford or thrashing Burton Albion 2-1 the next. This could never have been possible years ago with a well run club housing talented footballers. I also revel in the fact we are the laughing stock of domestic football and an easy target for any fan who wants to take the piss, or worse, ask that fucking banal question "What's going on with Villa"? I revel in it because I know in as short a time as a couple of decades we will be back at the top table, mundanely dishing out beatings to anyone bar the top eight.

What do you reckon tonight, Ads, 10-0 to the Villa and a late surge to the top of the league??

He doesn't always talk us down and seems to know his stuff and get pissed off when we lose just like the rest of us.

Spot on. He's a big Villa fan, and just because he calls it as he sees it doesn't make him any lesser of a fan either.

Now you've let the cat out of the bag. Ads thinks we've been top of the league all season. ;)

Only japing, Ads. Keep it positive, too many realists moaners on here.

I can criticise my boy. I don't care if he's just been caught invading Poland wearing Hugo Boss uniforms, he's mine and I'll defend him to the hilt against any snidey c***. I reserve the right, as he's mine, to bollock him senseless.

The Villa are like that for me. I'm proud I guess.
