Our name is easily the best. After that I have to say that generally Scottish names beat English names. Queen of the South, Hibernian,  Raith Rovers, Ferranti aka Meadowbank Thistle (why did they change to Livingston ? boring !), Gala Fairydean Rovers, Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic. Then you have the incredibly unquicky Albion Rovers. Based in Coatbridge and resulting from a merger of two teams, the boringly named Albion FC and yes you guessed it the equally boringly named Rovers FC.

Fixed that for you.

Dear Mr. Purslow,

Please DO NOT hire algy as the club's (brand) naming consultant.

Yours, BV

The name "Tottenham Hotspur" isn't bad, as names go, in that it isn't a boring "City" or "United" type team name. Comparing it to "Aston Villa", though, is quite clearly madness. We have the greatest name, the greatest colours, the greatest history and, quite possibly, the greatest collection of strays, wrong 'uns and ne'er-do-wells who like to spend their spare time arguing on a football forum.

Also, pretty sure that actual Hotspur was a Newcastle fan and would have thought, quite correctly, that Tottenham were a big bunch of southern ponces.

Sir Henry (Hotspur) Percy was slain at the Battle of Shrewsbury in 1403.
 Shrewsbury Town and Tottenham Hotspur have never played a competitive game against each other.

Next time I meet a Tottingham fan, I will tell them that they've never beaten Shrewsbury

Henry Hotspur sounds like a '70s porn star, and they have a cock and ball on their crest. Tottenham are rubbish in pretty much every single way.

2nd best? Fuck me, I despair.

I would be very disappointed if any football forum could rival this one for ne'er-do-wellism and pinko commie faggotry.

I'd say Spurs isn't even the best name in London. Crystal Palace, Orient, Arsenal, Queens Park Rangers.

Orient is best pronounced with a hard O rather than a soft OR, and always with an Alec Stock/Ron Manager accent.

There's some desperate stuff on the Internet.

In my first year after studying, I worked in the Uni libraries, including the nursing ones, where I met a lovely Italian couple at one point. He was a massive fan of whoever was dominant back home at that point. London based, looking for a lesser team to engage with here he’d been enchanted (forgive the unintended fairy tale pun) by the name Crystal Palace and ended up getting seriously involved with doing the club as a foreign expert/voice etc.

But AV. Isn’t it lovely how that fits together. AV. Let’s hope my daughter AVT appreciates it in time, her first game coming up.

Algy, be referred to Johnny Dixon, Richard Whitehead, even (I’d forgotten) Harold Pinter.

The full Whitehead quote should be read though

There are loads of Uniteds, lots Citys and Towns, a goodly sprinkling of Wanderers and Rovers and even a few Albions. But there is only one Villa – the greatest name in football in every sense. John Gregory, our former manager, had an eye for the populist quote and never more so than when he said: “There’s an aura about this club, a sense of history and tradition. Even the name is beautifully symmetrical, with five letters in each word.” He’s right, too. Just try writing it down now in upper and lower case. Aston Villa – heartstoppingly lovely.

Back on topic, gratitude for the twists that nearly did for us, but brought us the real deal who seem to be so right for us in so many ways. Long may we develop & build in the right ways.

I watched the last part of the Bucks game yesterday and obviously Wes Edens was front and centre at the post match interviews.

This lad Giannis is the one the media just follow like a lost puppy. The cameras are on him all the time.

As a co-owner, we couldn’t ask for someone more experienced right now. Levy has caved in and sold Kane to City, I hope we’ll be a lot more resistant.
