Were the fans dicked about when the original owners decided to name a football club Aston Villa?

Take a step back, engage your brain and read our exchange.

How is changing the name to something less tedious and unoriginal "dicking the fans around"?

Sorry to change the subject
2-1 Villa win

[preston28]

Always difficult to predict first game of the season so I'm going for a 1-1 draw.

[four fornicholl]

3-0, lets get this promotion party started.

Well it's not if you have absolutely no sense of history and tradition.

[villa `cross the mersey]

Tight defence, limp attack (sounds like an advert for KY Jelly and Viagra)

Can only see a 0-0

[AV5nobs]

It better be a straight forward win Mr Bruce nothing else will do. 2-0

How on earth should the first game of a new season, injuries being a factor, against anyone be straight forward, purely because our remit long term is promtion?

If we don't win 2-0 and comfortably we should sack him straight away?

[AV5nobs]

For the record I see 1-1 and we build on that.

[XXVilla]

Win. 1-0.

Yes that's what I said

Why are you assuming I have a brain?

I was talking about Hull. They have no history or tradition. They'd be better changing their name and having a new start. About 90% of clubs have changed their name at some point. Presumably they all abandoned their "history and tradition" and nobody should support them any more?

Clubs like Villa, Wednesday, Forest, Hotspur, and so on, have interesting names and should keep them. Boring Uniteds, Citys, and Towns should change. The English language has hundreds of thousands of words, there is no need to be so pathetically unoriginal.

[AV5nobs]

Nothing else will do certainly alludes to that.
