Cameron Betrays Us

[Nev]

So Nev what you suggesting Cameron is a glory hunter by following Villa? Because that would be funny. Who cares when he revealed he liked us?

No, I believe his advisors thought it may help his image, make him seem less aloof and upper class, for him to be portrayed as a football fan, as far as a club is concerned the family link helped in that respect. Chelsea or Man Utd would be too obvious. At best, it's disingenuous.

I believe the same is true where Prince William is concerned, although I have absolutely no evidence on that one.

Surely if that was true it would have helped his image more to support a non league team or League 2 and not one with a billionaire owner in the PL.

Nope, he was always going to be asked why he claimed to support a particular club and with Villa and he had an automatic family link, something he wouldn't have with any other club. And supporting a PL club is suitably high profile. Although it was always a bit half hearted, I can only remember him being at QPR a few years ago. Probably came out in a rash after being so close to the working classes.

Looking forward to hearing the away contingent belting out I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles at the Etihad this evening.

On a serious note, the tories have always been the enemies of football and this is why their attempts to ingratiate themselves with the game so often end in ham fisted failure.

He's hardly the first person to have little interest in football but when asked would say they want xyz club to do well or that's their club. Over the years I've known loads like that. And most would want xyz to do well for family. It's not like he claims to be a Villa diehard who used to rock up to VP for Simod Cup games.

Precisely I've never understood why anyone would get so wound up about it and then go as far as to call him a ******.

It's not a political argument though TV. Cameron is a c*nt. It wouldn't matter if he were leader of the Lesbians for Renewable Dungarees party. Cameron would still be

This argument isn't going at all well, probably time to bale out.

The argument that I don't believe he should be called a ******. Sorry it's not about baling out at all. That's your opinion. I'll keep that term for those who have killed people or molested children thanks. Feel free to hold your opinion it just isn't mine.

Jeez. Sorry TV, the last comment was directed at myself as an intended funny. I wasn't trying to tell you to bale out.

No worries Steve.

[Smirker]

I'd rather he say he supports us, no matter how clueless he is, than not mention us at all.

[django]

I think calling him a Cnut is the least he deserves personally. I'd lean more towards head on a spike terratory, but that's just me. It's not down to tribal reasons, Tony Blair was rightly ridiculed for pretending he used to go and watch newcastle players who'd retired before he was born, this is the same sort of thing.

Politicians being caught out being disingenuous for no good reason shows how easily it comes to them. Cnuts.

[oldtimernow]

well there should be a spare for the final anyway

[FrankyH]

Smarmy fecking arse wipe . We are all in together - the big society - there will be thousands of deserving Villa fan fans who won't get a ticket for the final.I am sure that prick will be there.

Maybe it's a Tory thing.

Must've missed your point Dave. Are you saying you shouldn't support Villa if you're a conservative (I'm not, by the way). Or, is it that Tories as villa fans are not as good as non-Tory supporters. Yes these people are twats, but if they have a connection or a genuine affection for the club then who is anybody else to judge them as a supporter. Big if, I know, the cynic in me questions their genuine support - ie are they just saying it for popularity or to try and claim some non-existent connection with most people who love football. Maybe they do, maybe they don't - but if you're a genuine villa fan, that is not to say necessarily someone who goes home and away every week, but supports the club, then isnt that enough to not have to have everyone having a pop at you?

If you are a genuine Villa fan you might know the difference between Division One and the League Cup or a legend and Darren Bradley.
