I have "SHIT ON THE CITY" tattoed across my buttocks. I have three sons named "Juan Pablo", "Savo" and "Bernard Gallagher". I've never missed a game, home or away... even going so far as to invent time travel so I could watch all the matches from before I was born. I'm the best fan ever so there.

Not a word of anti baggies sentiment there. Part time supporter !

Since about the age of 5 or 6 I have loved The Villa.
Growing up in Ireland like Irishvillain said, surrounded by Man U and Liverpool fans you tend to stand out wearing a Villa shirt. I love this but it can make you an easy target and a source of entertainment at times.
I have stuck with the Villa through school years , collage and  and now in my mid 30s My love for Villa is as strong as ever.
My 3 year old daughter comes first , I never thought Villa would be pushed into 2nd place but that's the joy of having kids.
I make it over to one game a season and once that's done I spend the next 12 months looking forward to my next trip over.
Villa till I die.

Villa winning or losing makes a BIG difference to my life every week during the season.
I hate the so called Sky teams. I hate the fact that we are not competitive  enough or good enough  to be right up there. I have NEVER regarded any other Club in  England to be permanently better than the Villa. Never!

I love the villa,they have the power to make me really happy if very very sad. I have been to many games home and away but I don't have a season ticket anymore I gave it up under Mon, I do still go as much as I can and I still get nervous on the walk to the ground. I have made many great friends as well comin to the games

Arrigo Sacchi once said of the game as a whole that "Football is the most important of life's least important things."

That sounds very much like a quote from John Paul II. "Amongst all unimportant subjects, football is by far the most important." Maybe Sacchi was paraphrasing.

I've just had a search for it and found the original quote:

"Il Calcio č la cosa pių importante delle cose non importanti" (Arrigo Sacchi)

Which translates directly as:

'Football is the most important of the not important things'

I don't know who is para-phrasing who though.

It's more of a social thing for me. If Villa had been relegated a few times and fallen on hard times i'd still enjoy going to the games with my mates. Football isn't really my favorite sport. Villa will always be a huge part of my life regardless of the manager, players, stadium etc.

I just simply refuse to miss a game. It costs one hell of a lot of money to do it, but at the moment, I won't miss a game. I find an Away Day is the only way to take absolutely everything else off the brain for the day, not only due to the excessive amounts of alcohol but due to the excitement and build up.

Throughout my early teens Villa were everything, the reason i took two paper rounds.As time has progressed though it's become a lesser thing.Work commitments during my early twenties coupled with financial constraints limited my visits.Then I met the wife and decided that i'd take her 10yr old son to the Villa,my interest re-awakened.I'm 33 now and have added two daughters of my own so it's more of a passing interest these days as I have far greater priorities.I coach a kids team and I enjoy being involved in that far more than I do going up the Villa these days.I still hate 19 Premiership sides along with 72 football league clubs and the witterings of Mickey Quinn on Talksport over the past couple of weeks has cost me a few quid in text messages where i felt the urge to call him a variety of names associated with being a fat scouse nobhead.However, this will be my third consecutive season without a season ticket and I can't see that changing in the near future.
