He has chosen Villa over all the other English clubs... that's OK isn't it?

I get the feeling that every so often his PA opens another letter and thinks "Jeez, not that soccer club AGAIN! I wish they'd leave us alone."

Well I've no problem with it whatsoever. Never that keen on him as an actor so at least he has this going for him.

I don't have a problem with it to be honest. Better us than one of the others as others have said. It's not as though he is mouthing of in the press each week about us trying to sound like he attends week in week out.

There was an article in The Sunday Independent Review about Lee Child last Sunday.  He's just knocked Jk Rowling off top spot of the best seller charts.  I haven't read any of his books (or hers for that matter... and in all truth have no inkling to read hers).  He is a Villa fan, a big Villa fan, still worries about their 'troubles' from his palatial Manhattan home as the article put it.  It also innocently states he's made enough from his books to buy the club, that's Journalists for you.

I don't mind Hanks being associated with us, in fact, I quite like it.  We could do with some positivity at the moment and his message is a sort of.

I'm really struggling to see why some have a problem with him saying he is a villa fan.

Its a bit of harmless fun really.  He's not actually a 'real' fan, so what?

Is the correct answer.

Isn't Michael Palin a Villa fan as well? There's 2 empty seats every home game.

Legion I have 2 questions...

1) Why is he a pillock ?

2) What in your opinion, are the credentials for being a Villa fan ? I thought that as long as you had some affection for the club, for whatever reason, then that was good enough to call yourself a fan but maybe I am wrong. I just want to make sure I really am a Villa fan before I tell anyone else
