I just let the Villa do the talking

Sean, who supports Aston Villa, says he never highlights it when his team beat Tottenham Hotspur.

"I just wanted to ring up to tell you off!" says Frank, the Spurs fan, "for putting the scud on Spurs! It's bringing the Spurs bad luck!"

"What do you expect?" Sean says. "Do you expect me to wish Spurs all the best when they're playing Aston Villa?"

"As compensation," Frank says, "because Aston Villa beat Spurs can you play a song for me?

"I'm very sorry for putting the scud on Spurs," Sean says. "I've got to say I work with a Spurs fan, one of the genuine ones. He puts his money where his mouth is, he goes to see them several times a year. Eric White in our sports department. And whenever Spurs beat Aston Villa he doesn't miss me and hit the wall. But I always give him a bye ball when Aston Villa get a victory over Spurs. I just let the Villa do the talking."

(Jan 1 result: Tottenham Hotspur 0-2 Aston Villa.)
