Project B6: Villa Park and Aston Villa FC in general, need a Museum to showcase its vast and amazing history. How can a club of our stature not have one? #avfc
Levy gone: You’ve won less than Birmingham in 30 years
Me: A museum, not a trophy cabinet. Villa has an amazing history. Obviously, not everybody knows it, so yeah, a museum would be great.
LG: Wouldn’t be a very big museum
Me: Invented league football, refused to salute Hitler in Germany ‘38, (unlike England), stolen FA Cup, most top flight ssns bar EFC, most England internationals bar THFC, Villa Park hosted world cup/euros/England & more FAC semis than any ground, 21 major trophies inc European Cup.
Then LG fact-checks me with AI: @grok how much of this is accurate when talking about little Aston Villa?
Grok: “Most claims check out based on historical records:
- Villa's director founded the Football League in 1888.
- Players refused Nazi salute in 1938 tour.
- 1895 FA Cup was stolen from a Birmingham shop.
- 2nd most top-flight seasons (112) after Everton.
- 2nd most England internationals (79) after Tottenham.
- Villa Park hosted 1966 World Cup, Euro 96, and 55 FA Cup semis (most ever).
- 20-25 major trophies, including 1982 European Cup.
Accurate overall, though trophy count varies by source.”

Well said, Perce. Not that fucking Tottenham fans are worthy of your time.
