Celebrity Fans: What's The Point?

[Percy McCarthy]

Good old Barney. Always used to buy a fanzine off me when I worked in Trinity Road.

[Smirker]

Don't know if he is classed as a celebrity but this guy is one of us http://teamrock.com/feature/2016-05-24/napalm-death-barney-greenway-download-2016

Napalm Death, of course he is. They are big in the game. 

[Villa in Denmark]

Barney Greenway is an all round good egg, as evidenced by

Napalm Death's Barney Greenway urges metal fan President Widodo to show mercy to British death row grandmother Lindsay Sandiford

and

NAPALM DEATH'S MARK "BARNEY" GREENWAY ON WHY HE'S FIGHTING TO SAVE THE LIVES OF AUSTRALIAN NATIONALS SENTENCED TO DEATH IN INDONESIA

And who knew the president of Indonesia was a death metal fan?

As an aside you've got to love the fact that a band Napalm Death originally had  a guitarist called Oppenheimer

[peter w]

Christ ViD - I don't give two shits about his excellent record in fighting to save lives in Indonesia of convicted drugs mules. Where does he stand on the Tony Xia debate?

[Villa in Denmark]

He'll let us know as soon as he personally delivers Xia's signed Greatest Hits compilation and a couple of  t-shirts.

We need more Grindcore on threads!!!

The same Ian Austin who complained about Nigel Kennedy at the Proms. Ian Austin, as far as I know, has never been seen at an away match.

Not like Dave Cameron and Tom Hanks.

I presume Austin will be a Blairite if he doesn't like criticism of his hero's war crimes?

[Dave Cooper please]

He certainly is, his Twitter feed confirms that.
Mind you it was quite funny yesterday when he denied voting against the Iraq War enquiry and then someone posted his official voting record where he voted against it on all three occasions. Funnily enough he deleted that Tweet shortly after.

I just signed up to Netflix recently having ditched my Foxtel and have been watching a comedy called Cuckoo. It's a few years old now, but never heard of it before. It's got the wanker teacher from inbetweeners in it and the family live in Lichfield. Seen a few villa references in it and a villa tea towel in the last one. Not sure if the character is a villa fan, or whether it's the actor shoehorning villa references into the show?

shades of Ian Lavender?

I once saw Floella Benjamin smashing up the toilets at St Andrews.

I believe the writers are Villa fans, so they made the character one too.  Not sure if Greg Davies is a Villa fan though, I've never heard him mention it.
