The importance of being Villa

[Ads]

I went for B.

But if there is a Villa who isn't A during the 90 minutes then I'm a Dutchman!

Without wanting to sound completely up myself, I've never understood the mindset of anyone who could genuinely claim to be option A.
I can imagine that some people run their lives around making sure they get to every match or cannot concentrate on anything if Villa are playing or on the verge of signing someone, I think we've all been there at some point, but to claim (or believe) that a football club are the most important thing your life, ahead of family, friends, career, etc. etc., nah, it just doesn't compute with me.

To some Aston Villa are their family & friends.

maybe not you , maybe not me  but to some  .

Somewhere between A and B. Yes, I am a sad bastard.

[exigo]

Less important than this time last year. More important than this time next year.

[Risso]

Aren't B and C essentially the same thing?

[Lizz]

Aren't B and C essentially the same thing?

I thought the same, and voted for the third option.

[MadJohnnyC]

Was A up until becoming a Dad, now its B. However everything does still have to fit around our games.

Being a Villa fan is a weird thing, isn't it? We don't get the glory of the really top clubs, nor the fashionability (new word!) of the London clubs like Spurs or West Ham, or the fun of the tiny clubs who have no hopes of glory whatsoever. We're stuck in the middle, the perennial nearly-men. We finished second in the first ever league, runners-up in the last Cup final at Wembley, provided the most England players but most of them have only had one cap - these things are so Villa.

Last season was perfect Villa as well, with the Cup runs and the 6th-place-again league performance. To reference the title of this thread, to lose one Wembley game is unfortunate, to lose two looks like carelessness. That's the Villa.

I used to be B but am now C, even though they are very similar.

You may be right, I would just find it very hard to imagine.

I've met some diehard fans of several teams in my life, but never one that would put their football club above someone they loved.
I've seen marriages break because some idiot decided football was more important, but I doubt that there was what I would called true love in the relationship.

[ventnor villain]

Mainly it's C, a little bit of B, but it can feel like A sometimes.

Seconded

[D.boy]

B/C for me.

[ronshirt]

C although I only ever see them at Sid James' Park.

[JUAN PABLO]

B


but in 10 years I reckon  E

[BIGBADBOBSCLARET&BLUE]

A all the way.

To judge others by your standards sounds like you are very unaware of your own being
