and then who?

[go on the dog]

I liked the system when Brian Little was manager he coached the forwards Gregory the Midfield and Allan Evans the defence, how I wish we could go back to that.

Is Pat Murphy a Villa fan?

You're having a laugh. He should work for WM as he's always having sly digs at us ever since his Bessie mate MON walked out.

He supports Chelsea.

According to him he packed Chelsea in back in 1974

@patmurphybbc: Never did so - gave up on them in 1974 when they sold my 2 favourite players,Peter Osgood & Alan Hudson.Supported no club since

How can he say he never did support them then says he 'gave up on them'?

[PeterWithesShin]

So he stopped supporting them as soon as they started going shit? Classy.

Honest though I suppose - doubt many would admit giving up on a club , could be worse i suppose , at least he didn't latch on to another as today's glory hunters do.

He's probably been reading the latest PL interview and it has corrupted his logic circuits.

There is nothing worse than giving up on your club because they are shit.

Isn't that the very worst type of football fan? I even have some respect for those who still go down to the Sty every week even though they are where they are. A football fan should never give up on his or her team and especially not during the dark days when things appear shit.

People spend hours on forums telling others that they are not going again. Are they looking for support from others? If you want to leave, you know where the door is, is my view.

Easts raises a point though. Is it worse to move from one club to another like that twat David Mellor did?

[Villa in Denmark]

Mellor is a twat regardless of any football related indiscretions.

And by the way thanks for putting that picture of him in his Chelsea shirt back into my head.

Or that monumental prick, Tim Lovejoy.

[Dave Cooper please]

To try to be a bit fair to Pat Murphy, how old was he when he decided to give up on Chelsea (I have no idea how old he is now BTW), if he was at that impressionable age of, say, 10 -14 or so than I know loads of kids who changed their allegiances. I was a Sunderland fan in 1973 when they won the FA Cup! Next door neighbour started taking me down the Villa shortly after that.

He was probably early twenties, and it was about the time he became a proper broadcaster, so supporting a team might not have been a good career move.
