Okay, so I have to be careful what I say here. It’s just too easy to have an over-emotional reaction to a loss like this, after all. But, I can’t get away from the fact that we were horrendously bad…

Palace – Villa: Guess what?
Guess what I’m going to say about this game? Yes, it’s another tough one. There really are no easy games in the Premier league now, are there? I know it seems like being a bit entitled, but this is a…

Villa 2-1 Everton; Not pretty, but some positives and a win!
Well, it wasn’t particularly good, was it? Perhaps I should re-phrase that. Apart from about the last twenty minutes it was pretty poor. We’d taken the lead , with a good striker’s finish on the turn from Danny Ings, but…

Villa – Everton: A banana skin?
I’ll bet we’re pretty much all thinking the same thing and it’s that this game has banana skin written all over it. We’re meeting what should really be classed as a poor Everton side, who are stuggling: so much so…

Is Gerrard our future?
I often struggle to write articles apart from giving my opinion about our games, but there just seems so many thoughts going through my head when it comes to Steven Gerrard. I can’t say those thoughts are very consistent, because…

Bournemouth – Villa; Happy days are here again!
Wahey, the footy proper is back again and not before time. The Euros has been great for putting Brum on the map, but it’s not really my thing and footy’s what does it for me. Nothing else comes close. So…

Can Gerrard pick Teams that Zoom this season?
The following is kindly offered by Big Fat Ron. Cheers fella. The new season is hurtling towards us and the talk has not surprisingly turned to team selections and new signings. Two key questions that have popped up recently are…

Latest (lack of) transfer news
I thought I’d better come on and say something, just so you don’t think I’ve disappeared, given that I think it’s been over a month since the last post. The problem is, there isn’t really much to say is there?…

Transfer activity up to now.
I thought it was about time we moved on from the Man city game and our somewhat disappointing end to the season and looked at better things. So after getting Boubacar Kamara (on a free) in really early and Phillipe…

Man City – Villa; Another Sky “super” sunday.
Well, we all know what this is about, don’t we? Every man and his dog knows that the most popular time to watch football is 3pm on a Saturday afternoon. So why the heck do Sky prefer to show all…

The need for speed
BFR has posted the following. It’s a good call, I think, cheers fella; As I drove towards Villa Park this afternoon, all the talk on 5 Live was of Tom Cruise arriving at an over excited Leicester Square for the…

Villa – Burnley; The points are in the bag. Aren’t they?
Well, this game should be pretty straightforward, shouldn’t it? After all we beat them on their own patch less than a fortnight ago, so it just makes sense. Except it just doesn’t work like that with the Villa, as we…

Villa – Palace; Maybe, just maybe
I’m sure some of you might be happy to know that the weather isn’t the best here in Gran Canaria. It’s not cold, but it’s not very sunny either. In fact, it’s probably about the worst I’ve known it in…

Villa- Liverpool; A sneaky feeling
It doesn’t get much tougher than this does it? Liverpool are in my opinion, are the best side in the world at the moment and I firmly believe they’ll win the league. So after sticking a fiver on them to…

Burnley 1 -3 Villa; An excellent performance which cheered me up
I’ve had a nightmare weekend overall. Long story short, we had a holiday booked for Monday in Gran Canaria. The hotel was changed on Friday night and the new one was totally unsuitable, so I’ve spent since then looking for…

Burnley – Villa; Are we man enough for the job?
Burnley sacked Sean Dyche on the 15th of April, a few days after they were beaten 2-0 by Norwich. It’s worth noting that this was their most recent defeat and since then they have an excellent record of one draw…
-
Villa – Norwich; No excuses for this one. It’s got to be a win
Well, it has, hasn’t it? Quite simply, we’re facing the poorest team in the league at home. And as far as I’m concerned, that’s all there is to it. I know this is football and anything can happen, but the…

Leicester V Villa; Another game where I don’t fancy us
How annoying is it that we haven’t had a game for two weeks, but have to cram games in that were postponed months ago? Very, but that’s the way it is and there’s nothing we can do about it apart…

How to deal with a problem like the Villa
I was about to write a post, but I’m glad to say “Big fat Ron” has given his verdict, which makes a nice change from my waffle. Cheers, fella! What to do with a problem like the Villa? Well, the…

Wolves 2 – 1 Villa; The stats flattered us, but no doubt they’re all that matter
As in the headline, you would think we were the better side today if you looked at the stats. And it’s about as good as an example of why stats can’t be trusted or relied on. (Which is exactly why…
