Hooray, the new season starts today. I’ll be watching the Liverpool-Bournemouth game tonight, but more with a passing interest, while I wait for what could be a great game against Newcastle tomorrow. Then again, it might prove to be a…

So my daughter ended up being able to book tickets for the game after I’d tried numerous times on my desktop and failed. In retrospect, I think it was my constant refusal to accept cookies which might have been the…

So we’ve signed what sounds like a very promising signing, in Evann Guessand, from Nice, in a deal that I think was £24 million, but may reach 30. I find this a very interesting signing. First, it’s a player I…

So I’m over here in Spain and we’ve been informed by a Villareal person over the phone that there is no home or away setup at Spanish grounds. I was already pretty sure of that anyway and given that I…

You have to laugh. What’s it about? So the wad that has bought a minority share in that lot (I don’t like to swear in the headline posts), Tom something or other, who was apparently great at that American egg…

Now don’t spit your beer, tea or coffee out. It seemed to have been suggested that because we’ve lost a couple of friendlies, the manager, Unai Emery, needs to go. Seriously. I’ve seen the comments on social media, courtesy of…

I’m bored of messing with the site, so am giving it a rest for a while and while we can sort of see the posts and replies, I’m going to talk about what we do know. And today’s big news…

I’m trying some things. If you do or don’t like the look of something give me a shout. I’m going to try some other stuff later, but the missus wants to drag me to Iceland to see if I can…

The site is temporarily broken and I’m struggling to restore it. I might be able to fix it, but I’m not a website author and am having to try and learn rapidly. I’ve got the old site backed up, but…

I don’t know about you, but I’m a bit fed up of the lack of action in the transfer window up to now and it’s all left me a bit confused. I’ve literally just read an article that suggests we…

I don’t deny it. I’ve been one of the team’s most critical (ok, moany) Villa fans of all, this season. I can’t help it. The older I’ve got, the more critical I’ve become overall and I honestly wish I was…

This final game of the season isn’t just about qualifying for the Champions league. It is of course about that as well, but perhaps more importantly, it could be a very big pointer as to which direction the club takes…

Pessimistic me shares the concerns that some of us have about Spurs being very capable of scoring at Villa Park on their day. But even I have to tend to the view that we should win this quite comfortably. I…

Just a very brief one, but how good was that result? We win at Bournemouth, Ollie surpasses Gabby as Villa’s highest Premier league goalscorer and is also the highest scoring English player in the Prem. The only blot was Ramsey…

I hate colds and while I haven’t even had one at all since the Covid period, I’ve got a cracker at the moment. Just as I’m about to start a job in a hospital on Monday. What should I do,…

I was laughing as I wrote that title. So the last time we were at the bungalow in Spain, the TV blew up on the very last day of our trip, giving me no time to sort it out. So…

In line with my usual negativity, I’m seriously concerned that when I commented a few days back that we might be facing a bad 10 days, where we get kicked out of the Champions League, suffer a massive blow in…

Any regular reader on here will know that I’m inherently and massively pessimistic when it comes to how the Villa are going to do. It’s a self defence mechanism bred over decades of watching us underperform compared to the likes…

Well, that was just awesome. Simply put, we have just annihilated the top current form team in the premier league. I was worried after the first half, because although we had been the better side, we weren’t taking our chances…

So there I was, having a look via my usual source to see what football was on today. It turns out there isn’t any, but looking at the page, https://www.livesoccertv.com/competitions/england/premier-league/ ,I noticed something interesting. Villa are one of only four…
