Ingram85 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 It was like trying to have a discussion with a lunatic who struggles to see why eating a jam doughnut is preferable to being stoned to death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avfc96 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 The stubborn, close minded closet racist I've been arguing with on twitter. I don't even know why I bothered. He'd fit in well in On Topic. Is it Nigel Farage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Choosing Aston Villa. Hmmm. I'm not sure what's worse, choosing Aston Villa, or having them thrust on you (cheers Dad, you old word removed)? Could be worse, you could be a bluenose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theunderstudy Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 As painful as it is, I wouldn't swap Villa for anyone. Not Liverpool, not Chelsea, not United, not Real Madrid. Plastic fans, now they annoy me but shouldn't. I mean people can support who they like sure... but with NO hereditary attachment to the area where the club are from? Just because they're famous? Just like my brother who is a "die-hard" Chelsea fan who's never even been to a professional game of football. I've seen Chelsea about 8 more times than he has. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should try living in a small town in Ireland, where you get abuse of United fans, Liverpool fans & Arsenal fans yet you've seen their team more times than all of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This comment is about 20-30 years out of date to be honest. Ever since technology moved forward. It's the Man Utd 'fans' who have suddenly started supporting Chelsea this year that annoy me.

Having absolutely no connection to Birmingham, I was brought up to support Villa my whole life. My brother chose to support Villa then passed that on to me. Arsenal is the team we would have had the hereditary connection to, on the English side of our family at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just out of interest, is there a similar situation in Holland, where you get people following Ajax, Feyenoord, PSV etc, rather than their local club?

villaajax Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Yes, that does happen. The top teams in every country are always going to be the most popular but the good thing with a country the size of Holland is that all of the big cities and most of the larger ones have a team in the top division so I think the support gets spread out a bit better.

Stevo985 Posted April 19, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted April 19, 2014 Today at the supermarket. It was quite busy, and the queues at the checkouts were quite long. So I'm standing in one minding my own business when one of the staff came up to me and asked if I'd like to use the baskets only queue instead? "But I've got a trolley" I protested "Doesn't matter" she said. "Dave will serve you anyway" So I trundled over to the basket only queue. And it took **** ages because the logistics of the basket only till can't handle a trolley. No conveyer belt, no big run off area, nowhere for the trolley to sit while you're packing. And of course, as soon as the guy starts scanning my shopping, 2 people appear behind me with baskets, tutting and shaking their heads at the moron who's using the basket only queue even though he has a trolley. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to think that somewhere on another internet forum, in their version of "Things that piss you off..." tread, someone is moaning about the word removed in the supermarket, who went through the baskets only checkout with a trolley. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
