As I’m sure anyone who reads this knows, the international events bore me witless until they hit the quarter final stage. And when we’re playing friendlies, I get wound up even more. Particularly in a season where we have Premier…

Villa 0 – 1 Arsenal; We were outgunned, simple.
A bit of a corny headline, but it seems the obvious one and I haven’t seen it used elsewhere, so why not?, I thought. It probably sums things up quite well though as Arsenal were better than us in every…
-
West Ham 2 -1 Villa; Not quite enough to match them, but it was better.
Shock, horror and whisper it quietly, but I actually thought we were a lot better today. We didn’t constantly give the ball away and passed much more accurately, which is a major part of what I want to see. I…
-
West Ham – Villa; Not particularly hopeful, but you never know.
I’m a bit late with this one, so will keep it brief. This is a really tough test, as many sides have found out this season, as West Ham have been playing consistently very well. They’re very strong on set-pieces,…
-
Leeds 0 – 3 Villa; A stonking win and Gerrard’s a genius!
Well, perhaps that’s a bit over the top. But there’s no doubting how good that result was. I might get some stick for saying this, but I honestly don’t think we were very good and it was more Leeds were…
-
Leeds – Villa; Who knows what we’re going to face here?
Okay, so my suggestion that we didn’t play very well against Southampton went down like a lead balloon. I think it’s probably best to leave that debate and just say whatever the performance it was a great and much needed…

Villa ‘thrash’ Southampton 4-0; an unexpected but welcome first win at home since December
Badger had to work today and is gutted that he missed one of Villa’s best all round performances this season – so I’m making a brief substitute’s appearance although I admit to having missed the first 35 minutes myself! Two…
-
Brighton 0-2 Villa; The win was all that mattered.
And thankfully we got it. If nothing else, it should stop our confidence deteriorating even more. Straight away, I should say that this was not a good performance today and you could see why Brighton are struggling so badly. I…

Brighton – Villa; Another loss? It’s a scary thought
So I’ve nailed my colours to the mast and said already, that I don’t think Steven Gerrard is our future. Well, lets just say that this is the first chance he has to change my mind. I had got it…
-
Villa 0 -1 Watford; Gerrard out? Erm, I actually think yes.
Well, that was an absolute disgrace. We’ve recently lost to Watford, Newcastle and Leeds. I read a stat that said we’ve taken 17 points from 13 games. And we’re getting worse week by week. I’ve had nagging doubts for a…
-
Villa – Watford; This should be easy. Yes, right!
Heh, I find my self laughing masochistically at the thought of this game. Per the headline, it should be shouldn’t it? They haven’t won a game since they beat Man Utd in late November, after all. We all know that…
-
Newcastle – Villa; If we’re talking attack, we win. If we’re talking defence we lose.
I didn’t expect to be home to watch this one, but here we are. I finished early and it’s happy days. It just so happens the chap I’m now working for is a Newcastle fan and he was a season…
-
Villa – Leeds; I really hope we win this.
There’s something about Leeds that I really, really don’t like. It’s only a recent thing, as they’ve never even been a threat to us in the vast majority of my time supporting the Villa. Yes, they’ve won trophies and some…

Weighing up Villa’s winter window business
Well, the final day might well end up as a bit of an anti-climax, but it’s difficult to argue that we’ve done very good deals and the vast majority of fans are very happy. I’m inclined to say the board…
-
Everton 0-1 Villa; Not pretty, but very gritty.
I’m in two minds what to think about this game. I thought we were shocking in the first half, so much so that I find it somewhat concerning that I don’t think we’ve played well for a good few games…
-
Everton – Villa; Should I dare suggest another win?
My predictions haven’t been going very well lately, which just goes to show, you can’t take any game for granted. I think if Duncan Ferguson hadn’t taken temporary control over Everton after Rafa the Gaffa’s sacking, us beating them would…
-
Villa 2 -2 Man Utd; A comeback and if it wasn’t for silly mistakes
Well, it’s not very often any side comes back from 2-0 down against Man Utd, let alone the Villa, but that’s exactly what we did and it was enough to change me from another Man U game of despair to…
-
Villa – Man U; Can we get revenge?
It’s been another busy day, with me being back at work. The idea was to knock the weekend working on the head, but at least it’s only ocasionally now, so I can live with it. Anyway, it’s meant this post…

Man U 1 – 0 Villa; Bent and even Paddy Power know it
Fair play to the VAR there, they left no stone unturned in their quest to disallow a goal against Manchester United at Old Trafford. — Paddy Power (@paddypower) January 10, 2022 When a bookie says this, you know the game…

Man U – Villa; The good old FA cup
So it’s yet another cup draw against Man U then and it seems all too familiar doesn’t it? I was going to say when are we going to get a nice easy draw, but we’ve also shown that we can…
