He is proper Villa. Compare him to that cushion-faced arse Chiles.

I watch that and I think to myself it doesn't matter who the owner is, it is MY club.

Love the video. Don't like the long vowel in "class" though - has our Benjamin been living down south?

From his poem 'Knowing Me'.

         "With my Jamaican hand on my Ethiopian heart
           The African heart deep in my Brummie chest,
            And I chant, Aston Villa, Aston Villa, Aston Villa,
             Believe me I know my stuff."                                         


                                                                                                   He knows what he is......................  ;)

Indeed.  Still can't wait to get down to Villa Park though.  No idea when I last said that.  Possibly Blackburn 2010.
