St Teresa of A(ston)Villa

Yes, that's right - AstonVilla

The Saints and Patristics team at Tamworth Theological college has unearthed documentary proof that in fact St Teresa of Avila was not a Spaniard at all but came from Witton and had her convent overlooking the Aston Villa ground. For year's theologians have toiled in the misunderstanding that it was 'Avilla' when all along it was actually 'Aston Villa'!

At last we can display the icon that confirms what has long been suspected and also explain away that loss of Arsenal last week to the claret and blues:


Many thanks to Doctor Willis, who has for years regarded the Villa ground as a shrine and a holy place.
