Daft Aston Villa fans
1 min read
Do younger football supporters know their history? During the FA Cup tie, the daft Aston Villa away fans were singing 'Champions of Europe, you'll never sing that' to the Tottenham Hotspur fans.
If they knew anything about football they would know that Tottenham Hotspur were the first British club to lift a major European trophy! Oh how embarrassing.
The FA Cup Fourth Round draw has been made and Spurs have been drawn at home against Wycombe Wanderers after being the first team drawn by former Liverpool and England striker Michael Owen.
There are 16 ties in this round, then 8, 4, 2 and the Final. Six games to win a trophy, one game won, five to go.

That's why no-one remembers (or cares) that tossers like you and Newcastle won these secondary, made-in-the-image-of tinpot tournaments
We can't know absolutely for sure that will always be the case. If Spurs continue with the progress they've made recently then it may become a realistic possibility.
Trying to call us daft for singing it shows it had the desired effect, you rose to the bait and trying to justify winning the cup winners as being on par to winning European Cup, as great an achievement it was, is daft. Winners of European Cup Winners Cup have never been able to claim to be Champions of Europe.
A better response from Tottenham supporters would have been to give a bit back on Sunday, take the piss at our current predicament, good old fashioned banter. We would have took it on the chin, instead we were left to sing on our own and create some atmosphere. UTV
It's good for Villa that they can chant that. Were I in their position I'd relish the chance.
Yes, we were first British team to win a major European trophy. We were the only club to win the FA Cup as a non-league side, showing a Wimbledon-esque ability to punch above our weight even back then before we won the old First Division back in 50-51 the year after promotion. We were first to do the double in the 20th century, back when it really meant something and the division was full of teams all playing at a similar level.
We have a great history to be very proud of. Let's not begrudge the Villans singing of theirs now they're a way away from such giddy heights. Even if it is to taunt us.
