Seen on BBC Ceefax’s 338 rumours page:

Aston Villa fans group VFC is on the verge of collapse following an acrimonious internal dispute.

It’s reported a fight nearly broke out at the group’s last meeting when it became apparent that one leading member had forgotten to tape the previous night’s Emmerdale Farm as promised.

The group is to hold a crisis meeting over the weekend but a source close to VFC said, “It’s not the first time this has happened and I can’t see how we can solve a problem of this magnitude and get on with the job of noting things with interest and issuing pointless press releases at the most inappropriate times”.

I feel a need to contribute to the life of this thread  :-

The future's the only thing we can worry about, we can't worry about the past ](*,)

Which brings to mind the most vomit inducing e-mail signature I've ever seen:

Yesterday is history
Tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift, that's why we call it the present  ](*,)

Wonder how difficult it is to get a job at Hallmark  #-o


Tomorrow's almost over,  
Today went by so fast,
Is the only thing to look
forward to - the past?'

Hmmm, I'm all for a bit of a piss take, but surely the first rule is to make it funny?  That's just poor, and isn't fit to lick the boots of some of the comments on this thread.

The odd half-arsed pisstake is fine. But when you are bothered to start a website, it looks to obsessive.

Internet and obsessive behaviour linked. Now there's a shocker.

Not sure if I have to act as a runner for Mr Islamabad while I'm on nights.

The Comer rumours spread but they didn't tell this thread
Did you honestly think that they would?

Bah. That doesn't work. At all. And only Dave Cooper and Mac will get it. Bah.

The injured but valiant Peter Winters is currently using a runner, but I am sure he will battle through all the adversity and achieve the ton.

Let's all keep supporting this great effort. Go Peter.  O:)

VFC spokesman John Mooney has revealed that the group is worried about its own future following reports of a proposed takeover of Aston Villa Football Club.

The group’s deputy chairman said, “VFC only has two aims – the removal of Doug Ellis from Villa Park and the return of the late Joe Sugden to Emmerdale Farm.

“It’s clear that with Deadly Doug gone from the Villa the chances of getting the names of VFC spokesmen in the papers will be seriously diminished.  It will be a very sad day for VFC and our three supporters.

“In one way it will be good to get rid of Ellis, who has been at Villa for over twenty years, because he has never once publicly denied that the holocaust took place or used his position to condemn the Gay Mafia.  Hopefully, the new chairman will be more in tune the views of the seriously deranged.

Mr Mooney would not comment on speculation that the ailing VFC is to merge with the secretive religious group Opus Dei.

I am now a fully committed supporter of VFC and all of it's pro-Emmerdale objectives. Robert Sugden has recently left the show leaving too few real Sugdens in this flagship drama.

However, a note of caution, This week sees the death and funeral of fans favourite Seth Armstrong and any pro-Sugden protests would, in my opinion, be is poor taste during this emotional period.
