Is that not a good thing though?there are some ex-Villa out there who will always refer to the club as if they are still part of us. I find that with Gregory all the time, same with McInally, God and Big Ron and to a slightly lesser extent Sir Graham. He still loves us, but he's a little more political with his words. Collymore is unashamedly biased.The bitter cock Tony Cascarino, not so much.

But I always remember speaking to him during O'Leary's first season - and don't forget this was not long after that disgraceful booing - and he asked how "we" were doing. Call me cynical, but McGrath took a fair bit of time before we were higher than third in his affections.
Gregory was good.

I thought this was a general hate thing, I was going to say people who put those big plastic butterfly things on the front of their houses. Anything Villa connected I would go Blake, Hopkins, Turner, Hodge, O'Leary and Gardner. John and Stan don't really wind me up that much. Even the memory of Nigel Callaghan doesn't get my blood pressure up. Maybe it's because I used to fancy myself as a winger and I was crap and lazy too.
