I’ve left this post for a while because I needed to get my head around a couple of things. That performance was frankly shocking. There’s just no getting away from it. Where I predicted us to be the sharper team…

I meant to watch Brentford’s last game against Man city on Wednesday, so I could get a bit of a heads up on how they’re looking, but I don’t know what happened. Basically, I forgot and the long and short…

There isn’t much to say about the game really. Cash dropped a major clanger and Mings was shocking when trying to defend against Lukaku, who totally changed the game when he came on. It was the right result although I…

I’ve actually been avoiding any Villa news over the last few days, as I didn’t want to build my expectations for the game. There’s nothing worse than a game being called off and particularly at the last minute for causing…

The dirty word that is work means I probably won’t be able to get to see this game, unless I can somehow wangle an early finish. Fingers crossed. The big story is Covid. The recent Omicron variant has wiped out…

I’m not going to make any bones about it. Norwich are absolutely rubbish and are going down. They lack quality, confidence, organisation, you name it. They simply aren’t good enough to stay up. And with that in mind I have…

It’s all a bit of a rush, this. I’m coming home from work and discovered that we’re actually playing tonight, when I thought the game was tomorrow. Premier league footy on a Tuesday? I didn’t know there was such a…

I wasn’t sure what to say about this game, so decided to take my time and think about it beforehand. My impression was that while we were seriously outclassed by a team that are frighteningly good when they’re attacking, we…

Well, we all know what this game’s about don’t we? Steven Gerrard going back to his home club etc etc. Sky have already annoyed me in calling us “Steven Gerrard’s Aston Villa” and his association with Liverpool will no doubt…

I’m never normally critical of referees. It’s a job where you have to make instant decisions and it’s easy to make mistakes. Put it this way, would you fancy the job? Indeed, I’m often told that I’m too biased towards…

I really shouldn’t say it, as we all know that when it comes to the Villa, getting confident usually leads to us not getting the result we expect. But I can’t go into every game feeling pessimistic can I? It’s…

I think the headline sums it up doesn’t it? I watched most of the Man City-West Ham game and City are just scarily good at times. They had the ball for minutes at a time because West Ham literally couldn’t…

Well, well, that was a turn up for the books wasn’t it? I’d predicted a 1-0 win and I did have a bit of a feeling, but I don’t think I can honestly say I expected it. So how pleasant…

I often use the above phrase with the reason being that it’s very true. I didn’t quite say the Brighton game was a must win, but I did say getting the points would be monumental. That was perhaps a bit…

So it’s well done Stevie G, in getting that very much needed win. You only had to look at how the manager celebrated the first goal to see that he wanted it just as much as us fans. And rightly…
