There's a missing apostrophe in 'their'?

No, from "clubs".

The (sic) is to qualify the claim that Villa belongs to the fans.

Doesn't feel like it these days.

Still a mis-use of 'sic' though. However, you used it.

An apostrophe missing, if you wouldn't mind, thank-you very much.

The near peers one was ignored because people have hated Spurs for a lot longer than they have been decent.

It always annoyed me that they could attract big names like Ardilles, Lineker, Gazza, Klinnsman and we couldn't.

If Botticelli had painted a picture called The Re-birth of Villa, Spurs would definitely have been included.

Villa floating up like Venus on a sea of League Cup tears, with an angelic Chico flying down the wing.

Having ignored this thread all day out of respect for the spurs I work alongside, I quite upset that I've just sat through 7 pages of nonsense about mismanagement, floodlights and various other shit.

Personally I don't like them because of the 'the year ends in a 1 so the cup is ours' bollocks they come out with every decade.  I wouldn't even let that get to me if it wasn't for the fact that the media like to act as if someone knocking them out in those years (I'm 33, there have been 3 years like that and they've won fuck all in any of them) is some kind of affront to the gods of football.

I think it should be *shakes his head at the dumbing down of teachers*, *nods in agreement* and, *sticks' finger's up* [sic]. But that would prompt discussion about inappropriate use of the Oxford comma
