My Brum supporting housemate just told me about this and as I said to him, as much as I have nothing against Blues (Always preferred them to Villa) I just can't abide with us helping out that ****. And even though the debacle was a long time ago now it's still somehow fresh in the memory and I dare say the board (even though they took over many years later) will know all about it.
Besides anything else, I was hoping he'd be a bit of a squad player for us this season, taking over J-Rod's role.
