No Respect

[Legion]

Whilst we're on the subject of odd fans, there were a few odd bods around on Saturday. Firstly a bloke standing at the bottom of the Holte steps with no top on.

Also we had sat by us two chaps who looked like they were the main characters from Withnail and I. Both had big long coats on and they had dreadful hair. One of them also had a very odd smell about him which we only noticed due to the 6 times he walked past us to go for a piss. I had visions of them talking to a policeman after the game saying 'excuse me officer, we've come to Villa Park by mistake'.

Did the bloke with his shirt off have longish claret hair and a weird collection of tattoos? If so I saw him walking up to the ground, I was huddled into about 8 layers and he was carrying his top and swigging a can of beer. 

I don't remember the claret hair but he definatey had tattoo's. I just remember looking at him and thinking 'what a twat'.

He walked past me and Legion before the game. Maybe his hero is that Portsmouth prat.

I missed that. Far too busy making money out of Villa fans.

I dont really know where or how to post this.  The chap that sits in front of me a couple of weeks ago called a Spanish player a cheating dago, and at the Stoke game told one black player (Jerome) to "get back to the zoo" and when Shotton was sent off shouted "bye bye Rubber lips".  If the comment to Jerome is regarding his time at the sty, maybe im being a bit harsh on this comment.  Am I best having a quiet word with him, or speaking to a steward?  I hope to start bringing my daughter to games, and while we will have to learn about bad language (especially from me), I dont think we should be putting up with this sort of thing.

You should report him to the stewards and the club and he should be banned.

Correct.

That Portsmouth prat works in a second hand book store and is quite the book smart fellow. But then again he also showed my mates his cock with 'Pompey' tattoed on it. He wouldn't be able to get 'Portsmouth' on it apparently

He could be president of Mensa and the King of Siam but he'd still look a prize prat.

I see him at most games I go to, normally in the Lower Holte concourse, and he's made it onto Match of the Day a few times. I'd like to think of him as our famous fan, if it weren't for this 'Wolfie' fella everyone on here seems obsessed with.

Less obsession, more like reverence.

Wolfie is a legend, I'm sure he's en-route to Norfolk as I type.

There must be a few people wanting to have a go at the Zorb race, it seems popular. It passes the time i suppose. As for the song before they come out, i love Foo Fighters so it can stay. 

What song is it we come out to nowadays? I've only managed to afford a few games this season and can't recall.

Not a fan of the Zorb thing. What happened to the good old days when we had sky divers delivering the match ball smack into the centre circle, now that was worth watching.

I like the Zorbs, makes it more fun if you have a bet on the winner. I doubt we will ever see anyone diving onto the Villa pitch again after the Arsenal incident.

....apart from the players from Arsenal.

In this weather it probably reads 'Py' and all the girls think that he's a dyslexic mathematician.

That was around this time of year, as Flight Sargeant Rogoff was dressed as Santa. Looked horrible from my seat!
