Some teams I like more than others but there is nothing that even comes close to Villa for me, not even a little bit. Also having a second team in the same country seems kinda wrong for me, specially when it's the same league.
Loyalty is nearly non existant in players these days, I couldn't stomach it if came down to that for fans as well. Those cretins for pool or united is hard enough to bare.
Nothing wrong with having a soft spot but there is fine line here for me.
As for Arsenal, I don't think they will go on to push much further than they did last season. Cech was a much needed and an excellet buy but for me they are missing another striker and a more dominant midfielder. I think I have mentioned him before
but someone like Kondogbia.
