Villa up first on Newsnight. Must be a different producer to MOTD.
The saddest thing is that Aston Villa, our club, will be tarnished and denigrated by something the club has absolutely no control over.The thickest of the thick will hear ‘Aston Villa………ban……..Tel Aviv……..Isreal…….jews…………’ and the club will be cast as the bad apple.
I don't think our political leaders are helping the situation. What a shitshow.

Any statement the club makes will piss some people off one way or the other.

What a shitshow.What's going to happen now is, it'll be reversed, there will be loads of unpleasant scenes - and I don't care who is causing it - and there will be a lot of 'told you so' from WMP.
