“Aston Villa is pleased to announce….”

If just doesn't look right, does it

It is though.

If you want to play at being an American then fine.

My proof-reader and my old English teacher disagree.

Well they are just as Americanised as you then.


Bonapercy, what have I ever done to make you treat me so disrespectfully?

Once again, it is Aston Villa IS, except for when it is Aston Villa ARE. No need for a crusade really. I teach this to French secondary students every year, and they get it.

Love that new Twang one, gets better with each listen. I honestly think they’ve improved with age. A bit like Peace, although they’ve been perfect since their first record, they’re just a bit more profound now.

Perce, The Twang and Peace as bands are a single entity, made up of various people. You're happy to use 'are' and 'they' when talking about them as seen above, why not with a football club like Villa, when it's exactly the same thing?

Because I’m not arsed Either Way. (See what I did there?)

I only react to people saying ‘Aston Villa is’ is wrong, when quite clearly it isn’t.
