Totally agree with you about the round badge, was class

Utterly mental. I can't understand why they misinform their audience, it's just wilful ignorance.

infairness I think some of it is just terminolgy, The US is so big 100 miles, down the road is just like a suburb

to them

I don't know how they do it, but they also find the biggest plonkers to talk about us. That's not just this video but also on radio. Aside from the esteemed few that portray us well I find most Villa fans come over as thick and incohesive when they are ask to give an opinion on the club. And I'm not being an accent snob either. It's what they say that gets transmitted across the world.

I think it's probably best to go along with how the locals view themselves. Seems the only fair way to me.

well we know the Americans are very understanding of other countries viewpoints and will no doubt abide by it

Browns/Villa fan here ...

Looks like Lerner is going to sell 70% of the team for about $930 million.  I think that works out to just short of 600 pounds.  Hopefully that's used to invest into Villa.  Would be nice to see both the Browns and Villa turn things around here.

And by the way ... 90 miles is pretty much considered a suburb for any American city.  Plus I think they were pushing the whole "Olympics" angle since they are suppose to be over there covering that, and not Villa ... so they had to try to tie it into London somehow.

Can't say I've ever seen a Villa badge I haven't liked.

I hope you're right about the exchange rate, I'm going to convert my £ savings into US$...I'll be a multi billionaire...serweet!!   

[ExclDawg]

I think I forgot an "m" in there ... 600m.  Although 600 pounds does sound about right. 

Lerner should be able to turn-around his sale for the Browns and put in a transfer bid on a nice motorscooter.

In the Daily Star -

AMERICAN tycoon Randy Lerner is not set to flog Aston Villa.

The banking magnate’s decision to sell his American football team Cleveland Browns in a $922m deal fuelled fears that Villa could be next.

But Villa chief executive Paul Faulkner said: “The Browns situation means absolutely nothing with regard to Aston Villa – neither good nor bad.

“The big point that people sometimes forget is that he inherited Cleveland – he bought Villa. Any rumours that he could be thinking about getting out or losing interest is nonsense.”
