Is that the lad I met down at Wembley John?
we had about 6 Korean/Chinese/Japanese lads and lasses (that we had never seen before) near us in Lower Holte L3 and my mate turns to me muttering about bloody Man yoo tourists but when the first Villa goal went in they were jumping around us like loons dripping in Villa gear from head to toe from the club shop.
Well done John, sounds like you've done a good job bringing up a fine young man.

The last one was when their winner went in but the rumour was that it was a Wolves fan whose accumulator had just come in.Has anyone else had trouble with them on the way to away games? I've bumped into them a couple of times on the train from Leicester to London and it's never been pleasant. One particularly nice trick is to sit in other people's reserved seats and then threaten them and give out a load of verbal abuse when the real customers try to get their seats. It's usually just me and my girlfriend in Villa colours so they usually try to intimidate us as we walk past as well. Whilst there are exceptions, the vast majority of them that I've met on the way to games have been aresholes of the highest order.My negative views of their fans dates back to the League Cup final. We'd hired a coach and had parked at Neasdon to get to Wembley. Their fans started on the tube train, goading us about their title win and stealing the scarf of a 10 year old traveling with us. Post match a number of our party were attacked by their fans who'd been waiting at the station. Women and kids were attacked as they threw missiles at any Villa fan stepping out of the trains. They were London Reds in this sorry case, but the attitude seems to be inherent with many of their ilk.

As I got off the train to change lines, someone with a proper Manc accent, actually come and put his arm around me, and sort of apologised
