Supporting Villa is a bit like having a pet dog. Not a pedigree or anything fancy, but a likeable kind of breed, say a Collie, or maybe a Labrador. It doesn't do anything very fancy - it won't do tricks, doesn't carry your paper back from the newsagent or anything like that - but it is pretty loveable and you've become stupidly attached to it. Most mornings it bounces into your bedroom, tail wagging, and nudges your face with its wet nose to wake you up, and you think how glad you are to have it in your life, you love that old mutt.The only problem is that, every now and then, rather than nudge you lovingly, it vomits into your open, snoring mouth, just when you're not expecting it, and you start to have fantasies about sticking it in a sack with a couple of bricks and throwing the fucking thing in the cut.
Look, if you have had enough, or can't justify the cost, or you missus has found something better for you to do, then stop going! Watching football is just a hobby, a pastime, something you do at the weekend, if you think you can give it up then carry on.Villa will carry on without you, the rest of us will go when we can or when we feel like it.It really isn't important enough that we need yet another "I've had enough, I'm giving up" thread every time we lose.

In fact, it is largely the opposite.
My kids have been to Derby (A) Fulham (A) Arsenal (H) Swansea (H) and yesterday They looked horrified when I said they were also going on Wednesday
I avoided it and told my mates to keep quiet as I was at a family birthday, I was nearly home when my dipstick mate sent me a joke completely ruined it but in a way I'm glad he did. I watched it on fast forward, shocking 2nd half.I'm used to it. Will still put myself through it next week. It's what we do
