I wasn't - it was irony, as we do have a reputation for it, deserved or not. Lighten up.

No we don't, well no more than fans of any other club anyway. Again, I don't know why you think we do.

I´ve no doubt this will bring the usual spate of ( anti-Tory ) derision but, apparently our new Prime Minister´s " top advisor , Nick Timothy , is a Villa fan and genuine one , at that.

"Mr Timothy wrote: “Support for a football club is about so much more than following the results of a team that plays a sport you enjoy. It is something that is passed down from grandparents and parents to children.

“It is about taking pride in your home town or city, as anybody who has been to a cup final at Wembley – with half the stadium taken up by singing Brummies and the other half taken up by noisy Liverpudlians or Mancunians or Londoners – will tell you. With a grand old club like mine, it is about the beauty and history of our red-brick ground, Villa Park (and yes, it is an old-fashioned ground, not a stadium).

“For an exile living in London like me, it is about hearing the collective Brummie accent as the Holte End, our magnificent terrace-turned-stand, sings with pride, passion and humour.

“It is about the lump in the throat I still feel every time I sing “Holte Enders in the Sky”, and think of my late Nan and Granddad.”


I always makes me feel good when someone of stature , in whatever profession, writes about us with that sort of passion and pride, good too that we have a Brummie at the top table.....Godzvilla!

What was the name of the Home Secretary who was a fan, maybe under Blair or Brown?  I think she had to go when her husband claimed the cost of a jazz mag on her expenses.

And caused no end of security problems when she insisted on still sitting with the proles.

Pete Way, ex-UFO, in an interview with Classic Rock mag after his recent heart attack..

“The only thing I ever worry about is Aston Villa. [Villa were relegated from the Premier League last season after an abysmal campaign.]

“I blame them for this, hahaha. They’ve caused me so much misery over the years - but I can’t let ‘em go, can I? They’re my team.

“I still go to see them. I’m going up next week. I ignore everything else. I shrug it off. I don't let anything bother me. The only thing I take notice of, the only thing that bothers me, is Villa.”
