With such a unique name when you scanned the sports pages for something to read Aston Villa would always stand out. Unfortunately we now have Andre Villas Boas and when scanning you pick that up as well.
I feel duty bound to remove Palace. It's just the second word of a two-worded place name. Like Small Heath.This is the pedants' thread?
They are sheep, they went back on a decision to not take the name of the city... i'm glad they are who they are and what they have achieved.
Had Small Heath kept their original name am I correct in assuming they would be the only 'Alliance'?
