    Villa Defector

    Hello all. I am new to the forum. I am an ex-villa fan. I have always been kind of a closet Arsenal fan. I have always loved the way Arsenal play and they way they go about their business. I really respect Wenger. I love the way that he has confidence in the young players and they way he finds these prototypical attacking midfielders. I began watching the English premier league in 2006 and I just kind of "picked" Villa as my team to follow. Well, after watching them sell their best player every year, running off a manager that I had a lot of respect for, and refusing to re-invest in the team unless they were about to go down, i.e. Darren Bent, I decided enough was enough. Now that Agbonlahor is tearing it up they will probably sell him to the highest bidder and that would be something that I really couldn’t stomach. I know that Arsenal sells players too, just look at Nasri and Fabregas, but they seem to be able to gain some sort of loyalty from their home grown players. This is something that Villa has been unable to do since the exit of O’Neill.

    I hope I am welcome here and I really don’t know why I didn’t just choose Arsenal from the beginning. I do feel better now that I am behind Arsenal 100%. I know that I will have to deal with some s-talking for turning my back on villa, but that’s ok. I know what it’s like to stick with a team through thick and thin. I have been a Texas Rangers fan for 25 years.

    Now I think it is time for me to start catching up on the history of this great club. If you guys have any sites that would fill me in on that, let me know.

    How do you just stop supporting a team at the flick of a switch?

    I can't say it was just a flick of the switch. I stuck through last year and almost half of this year, but I have been contemplating this for quite a while. This summer was really tough with the loss of Downing and Young. It is just the same year after year. Thanks for the welcomes.

    You'll find the place familiar, then.
