Vancvillan Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 I'm fine with V Sports is. Aston Villa will always be a collection of people including players, staff and fans in my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are a football club for me "is" is an Americanism linked to referring to the city rather than team Liverpool the team = are Liverpool the city = is And watching NFL the commentators will often lean towards the city name rather than the team name so will use is, football for me will refer to the team name, the team being a collective embodiment, at the basic level of the players let alone everything else that forms the team / club and therefore being plural hence "are" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, if you think the correct form is: "U2 is playing tonight", what would be an appropriate reply? (a) "Oh, are they?" (b) "Oh, is it?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(a) "Oh, are they?" (b) "Oh, is it?" We’ve concluded, I think, that Aston Villa is a vital community asset. It is a football club. The club is over 140 years old and is supported by many fans. The team was managed (badly) by Gerrard and the club was under threat of relegation. The club is now managed by a more experienced manager. As for your question, the answer is “Like I could care less” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
