There's more to H&V than just Villa. It's like a drop-in facility for social inadequates. And I include myself in that sweeping assessment.
This is true,I only on it because Ive got no real life friends

Followed the Villa all my life. After the Everton game never realised how depressed i was. But the Newcastle game has brought me back to feeling good again and life has become beautiful again ......... AVTV seems to show all the Newcastle highlights. Has anyone noticed ??

When I first met my partner 13 years ago she knew how Villa had got on due to my mood. The only reason she knows they've played these days is when our son tells me what the score was.

And the fact that you have over 8,000 posts on a Villa fans' forum. Sorry, this I am so relaxed and don't give a shit routine doesn't wash

Of which probably 7,500 are in Off Topic not that I have to validate or justify it to somebody I've never met on the Internet. I did go to a match last season though so you've well and truly caught me out.       

Plus I like hanging with Damon and other social inadequates since we got banned from Games Workshop.

I never lost my passion for the Villa even though we went through a bad time last season I still kept my ST I'm just so excited this season with PL in charge after Sundays game against Newcastle I think we are on a good journey into the unknown I can't wait for the Swansea game I think there will be some up's and down's on our journey but we will be better for it.

Don't give a flying fuck in a rolling doughnut about non-Villa football anymore.
If an England or other live game is on the TV i'll avoid it like the plague.

My interest in Villa has waned but I was there for the Everton game and i'll be there aginst Swansea, as will my son for whom it's his first game.

It's in the blood and it always will be as far as Villa are concerned.

But other games?
Nah, couldn't give a shit anymore.

Same here. I used to be really interested in all other football but now and for quite a few years it's just the Villa. Still have a soft spot for Walsall and Kidderminster Harriers, though.

I am as mad for it as ever I have been.   Makes no difference to me really if we are shite, which we are as often as not, or if we are brilliant which is an extreme rarity.   I have been swallowed whole by Aston Villa and life without them would be meaningless.

My only fear is not relegation or being bought up by Carson Yeung, it is some twat moving the club to the M6 M42 junction or somewhere similar.   I stand (I do stand most of the time) where my grandfather stood on the Holte End, my sons and my grandsons will stand where I stand.   Having the worst manager in the known universe or losing all the games in a season pale into insignificance to those kind of feelings.

I think this manager is the real deal.   I think this is the new dawn not the false dawn of O'Neill's perfidy.

I forgot.   I never want them to play in any other colours.

It's undeniably true.
Nearly everybody on this site is fucked up in the head to some degree.

I now picture Brian in a baggy sweatshirt pumping his arms to D-Mob whilst ripped off his tits on E's.

i've already been to more games this season than in the whole of last season,

i'm more confident and excited about the future now than at any time in the last 4 years,
 it all started when i went down to West Ham, i have never seen a  Villa team pass the ball about like they did in the first 30 minuets, i know it didnt turn out well in the end, but you could see this was going to be a massive sea change in playing style and football philosophy, and i bought into the Lambert revalution there and then,
 having not been that keen on him originaly, thinking he was going to be to much like MON

i'm right on board now, i dont think there is another prem team that has changed the style of play as much as we have in such a short time,
i mean our back 4 of Dunne, Collins,Warnoc and Hutton last season havent played at all so far, there cant be another team thats completley changed its back 4 from one season to the next,

this is massive change and i'm loving it,
 because for me its all about the football, thats why i support Villa, thats why i watch them because i love the game first and foremost, thats why my interest wained last year because it was just not enjoyable to watch, maybe i'm fickle in that respect, but i'm just not wasting my time watching something that annoys me, i've got 4 kids that can do that
