That’s not an option, I don’t like Birmingham City at all" - Olaf Mellburg “Supporting Aston Villa is much more stressful than being Governor of the Bank of England” - Mervyn King “Playing for a big club comes with pressure. Anyone can do it for a lesser team, but you have to have bollocks to play for Aston Villa. This is a big club” - Tim Sherwood “My life will not be complete until I’m at Villa Park” - Tom Hanks “If there is a club in the country which deserves to be dubbed the greatest, few will deny the right of Aston Villa” - William McGregor“When Villa thrash Man U at Villa Park, my son will be there.” - HRH Prince William “The first game I ever went to was an Aston Villa game and so I am an Aston Villa fan” - David Cameron “I want to give all my best to the Prince and Duchess on their firstborn. I just hope he doesn’t follow in his daddy’s footsteps and become and Aston Villa fan. It isn’t fair to put a child through that – especially not a prince.” - Usain Bolt “I look at that banner and realise how lucky Withey was – it came off his ankle. Every time I see him he says he knew what he was doing. He dines out on that goal.” - Tony Morley "Villa have amazing support.

I just really wish they would remove the European cup commentary banners. It makes us seem so totally small time.

Being proud that we won the European Cup, a trophy only five English clubs have won, ever, makes us small time?! You'll need to run that one by me again...

Ray Houghton was talking recently after the death of Ronnie Moran (I think) He said that after they won a trophy at Liverpool they would never talk about it the next season. That was in the history books and the current season was all that matters. That kinda sums up how I feel about those banners, proud as I am of our history.
