Are the Villa really more important than our marriage?

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

 

f***ing Villa!?!?!?

The 3ft by 3ft banner bore the message: "Jack, are the Villa really more important than our marriage? It's over, Jess."

 

The banner, situated on the busy A41 in West Bromwich, was seen by thousands of motorists who travelled along the route at rush hour.

 

It was first spotted the morning after Aston Villa won 4-1 in their Uefa Cup second qualifying round tie away to Icelandic side FH Hafnarfjordur.

 

Beyond their first names, the couple in question remain unknown.

 

Paul Brennan, an Aston Villa fan who passed the sign, said: "I love the Villa, but I always try and keep the missus sweet as well.

 

"This is a cruel way to break the news to him though, I don't know who they are or who has done what, but this is a certainly a harsh way today it.

 

"I hope it's not still there on match day - because they'll be thousands of people on the way to the game that will see it and most of them will be Albion fans around here so I'm sure they'll get a great laugh from it."

 

One van driver, a West Bromwich Albion fan, added "You shouldn't make a man pick between his woman and his football team. I don't care who she is but he is better off without her.

 

"Most people around here are Albion fans so I wonder if she's a disgruntled Baggies [West Bromwich Albion] supporter."

I like the way she's used quotation marks and zany writing.
