'Our hearts go out to you on your losing bet!'

“Barney Sloan, our quizmaster, is a great West Brom fan,” says Sean, “and he’s not too fond of Aston Villa.”
Sean himself is a big Aston Villa fan.
“He likes a flutter,” Sean says, “and he picked out five teams yesterday. One of the five was Aston Villa, and he said: 'Aston Villa at home, that’s a good bet!' But when he went to write it down, he couldn’t bring himself to write down Aston Villa on his slip, and he said, ‘no I can’t be a traitor! I would never be forgiven by true West Brom supporters!’ And he went and put down Atletico Madrid, and they lost four-nil, and he would have been £400 richer if he'd gone with Villa! Barney Sloan, our hearts go out to you!”
