Think only Phil from the Twang is, if they still have their original lineup.

Saunders (a nose) has left, so that leaves Phil and a West Brom fan.

I’ve listed acts where the main characters are Villa.

Because you said half of OCS, I assumed you meant all of the Twang were.

Saw them at the Manchester Acadeny after we’d beaten Manchester United for the second time in ten days. Me and them singing along BFR’s Claret and Blue Army!

Someone hasn't been doing his homework.

I am doing a hundred lines as we speak. Not in the Sexual Ealing sense.

I fear that even if you did you'd be looking for statistical anomalies in the patterns of football results or surveilling the former members of pub rock bands to check for on-the-record Albion sympathies.

There are credits on the second Ned's album to Paul McGrath and BFR.

Yep, at least Roger definitely was when I met him a while back and he commented on my Villa phone case at the time.

They were both at the Arsenal game this year.

NSWE UK Ltd, Aston Villa’s parent company, which nets off all the intra group transactions such as selling the women’s team and real estate to itself, publishes a £96.7m loss, compared to a £17m profit of its subsidiary. Shows the importance of complex group structures.

Is this good/bad/expected?

I mean, I know a loss is usually bad news, but football seems to exist on a different planet with Man Utd £1 billion in debt seemingly without a care in the world.
