Been a Villa fan since about 1969/1970 when I was around 5 or 6
years old.
Glad to see a Villian here.
COME ON VILLA!!!
Having said that, as I stated in my previous post, I am very optimistic for the future. We have the right manager and the right owner now. Everything is set for us to move things onwards and upwards. Like you, I'm REALLY looking forward to some silverware - it's been a LONG time (11 years) since the last trophy (I've blanked out the F.A. Cup loss in 2000!) We should set our sights higher than just beating and finishing above the Bluenoses - let them worry about us instead!
BTW - have you seen the new badge/crest? What do you think? I think it's a bit of a missed opportunity, but I don't hate it as much as some of the posters on the heroesandvillains.info forum. Let's see what it looks like on the new Nike shirt next season...
Wahey! Here's another one!
Only for ~12 years though, guess that makes me a newbie. :-)
There's a pretty good vibe about the Villa these days.... that we're heading in the right direction at least.
I've a similar feeling about the badge/crest. I don't hate it but it could've been better - I'm a graphic/web designer by trade and feel there's some stuff there that's not quite right. But in the end it's the team that makes the badge, not the other way round.

LEEDS! Only for about about 8 years, got into football about the time Leeds were doing well. Watched them as they had a few familiar names with the aussies and danny hay.
As for this season, its been a great pre season so far so go
the WHITES!

Awsome mate welcome to the fourm and great to see another
Aston Villa fan here. Yeah the badge isnt the greatest but it will
do IMO. Im more excited about the new home and away
kit and cant wait to see what it looks like. and the
signings are showing good signs with Reo-Coker signed and
rumors with some good players. UP THE VILLA!
... rumors with some good players. UP THE VILLA!
Yeah, what a difference a year makes.
I'm feeling pretty good about things at the moment, and even if we didn't sign anyone else, I'd still have a (probably unjustified) fairly confident mood about the season ahead.
my mum's family emigrated from Liverpool in the 60's when my
Nana went back for a holiday around 82 -83 she brought back
two strips one Everton one Liverpool my cousin got
first dibs and took the Liverpool strip
i've never stopped supporting Everton fc since good on ya Nana

Manchester United. First game October 1967. v arsewipes, 1 - 0 win
for United.
Certainly looking forward to Leeds going to Vale. What with Forest
and Leeds having a crack at Div 1 - the division is finally
attracting the big name clubs!!
Arsenal. Quality side. thats all i have to say!
The mighty Wycombe Wanderers.
Born & bred - lifelong fan.

Do you still have the top? Ebay that sh*t if you.

)
)
Sorry Pervy... they're here... them and f**king budgies.

Well i hope your fairly confident mood is still there after
O'Niell has only signed 3 players so far if i can remember
correctly. But he has got rid of some of the sh*t players.
UP THE VILLA!!!
Chelsea. Doesn't seem to be many of us floeating around here. Good
to see some lower league clubs being followed. I've been over here
15 months and miss going to the match s*it loads. had my first
season ticket 84/85 when we just been promoted back to top flight.
I was 4 yrs old and have been going home and away(and
europe) most years since. See, there are some pre-Abromovich
fans around that have seen us relegated, promoted, and top of the
lot, winning the Zenith Data Systems Cup against Boro in 88/89.

Welcome London Blue, been here 18 years, saw my first Chelsea
game in 1979 and started going home and away a couple of years
later for 8 years solid till coming over here in 89.(Best day out -
Chelsea 5 -Man City 4, Full Members Cup, Wembley 1986, 12 hours of
mayhem lol)
Loved the old Bridge, have been to the new one which is
something quite different only once, been back a few times to see
us lose in 2 FA Cup Finals, swore never to go again as i must have
been a curse.
Will be taking my 2 boys back in the not too distant future
for thier first live Blue experience.
Miss the pubs and general football culture.
Hate Liverpool and Arsenal with a passion, and am
costantly amused by the Yids, Spammers and Leeds fans.

Tourets
Followed Crewe Alex since 1982 when the were the strongest team in
the league(24th in Div4, and holding evrybody else up). Always
punch above their weight, except when everbody else is punching
them, produced some great players and always give youth a chance.
Still cop abit of crap and a few giggles when people see the shirt
and realise its not liverpool but Crewe.
UP THE ALEX
Hull City
coz i was born there, my grandad supported them, so does my
dad
because we moved alot i only saw them regularly in
the 71-72 & 72-73 seasons
favourite memory beating west ham 1-0 fa cup 4th round 73 (the
year sunderland beat leeds 1-0 in the final)
McKechnie, Banks,De vries, Kaye, Neill, Knighton, Lord,
Houghton, Pearson, Waggy, Butler - magic!
Until 71 I'd lived here most of my life and i couldn't believe
the atmosphere at Boothferry Park, a wee bit different to Horton
Park in Blenheim.
Let's make some atmosphere in
Wellington!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
.
Boro since I was 5 (in 1969) and old enough to walk the 100 yards
to Ayresome park with my mates and crawl under the turnstiles. I
must admit at that age we were spell bound by
the Atmosphere and The old Holgate End singing. I've been
hooked ever since.
Arsenal. Supported them since 'that goal' '89. "It's up for grabs
now!!!" Michael Thomas all the way...
Recently got the badge tattooed on the forearm. Super proud of
it... gooner for life
Everton. My family are from
Liverpool and have supporting Everton since the club was formed. I really
didn't have a choice. Call it indoctrination I guess. I did have a
big burst of doubt when all those racist (john Barnes and bananas
incident...) scum seemed to be in every crowd. They went and, in a
sense, I'm still there. Got some comfort from my friend Shay, he's
black, who said "we leave, they win!'.
First game I ever saw in England, 1982, was Everton versus Liverpool. Still have pieces of the atmosphere.
Lived in London for nearly twenty years very close to Selhurst Park and do keep an eye out for their, Crystal Palace, result.. sort of.

The mighty Clarets from Turf Moor - Burnley FC. Since
1973. Just because!
Come on you Clarets!
Probably the only person around here who hopes that Ryan
Nelsen loses every week!
The Pride of East End thanks to this man-Steve Harris of Iron Maiden
another bump...Middlesbrough..obviously. Born there but emigrated when I was nearly two. Started supporting when I was about 10 and my grandad who was season ticket holder started sending me programmes and gazette clippings. Have seen them play once in 2006. Biggest moments..Carling Cup win, FA Cup Final appearance(misnomer for loser) and UEFA Cup Final appearance(bigger misnomer). Cmon Boro...and Nix.
Crewe since 1980, everybody else was into man u & liverpool at school, so picked the team bottom of Div 4 and the rest is history.
Go the mighty Alex....and coyn
