its villa all the way for me just cant be bothered to watch any other team on tv, canr remember the last ime I watched motd or sky or champons league as steve McLaren would say.
the media bigging up of the harry kane, deli alli, Zlatan pep etc etc etc has really turned me away from everything non villa.

I may be a sad bastard but I've enjoyed watching the Villa in the championship this season because we win and played like a team whoop whoop. I was there in the third division when we rose to greatness and we will again. After the last three/four years we are moving in the right direction again WHOOP WHOOP

Reading the forum as I lay in bed and thought that the title of this thread was awful and what sort of muppet called it that. I was shocked to see it was me. This is a lesson to everybody to not post when they have had a skin full!

I'm now going to see if I drunk texted anybody.

It's strange to see the responses though. I thought I was in a minority but clearly not. It's sad to see what the Sky millions has done to our game.

I've always been like this, well before the sky millions, but to be fair, it's about not really liking watching the game as a neutral. I get well into PNE games too these days because there is a team I definitely want to win.

It's a competitive sport and I need to feel there is something for me to win or lose when I watch - from that perspective I can enjoy a good giant killing, or anyone beating Blues or Albion too.

I watch Sky and BT games on telly because of my love of football.
The only other club for me is Non League (Midland League) Coleshill Town who I have served well in many different roles over the years so obviously I support them.

But I'm Villa through and through

I'll watch Villa and Wrexham (my local side), not really bothered by other football. Watch the odd game in the euros & world cup, that's about it. To be honest at times I struggle to have any enthusiasm for watching the Villa, dunno why but I find it hard to relate to a team when some players are more interested in having a luxurious lifestyle than the "weight on the shoulders" of playing for Villa. Though, you know, it's Villa so I do care.

I found myself messaging the lads last night to arrange the meet up for Saturday - this is usually done on a Friday but such is my desperation for a fix I felt the need to get things moving a full 5 days early.  That's how a fortnight off Villa gets you.
