I think it’s pretty safe to say that this deal is going to happen anytime now. All parts of the media are saying it should be done today and when that happens, you know they’re not far off the mark…

Roll on the football season!
Apologies. I didn’t realise that comments had closed on the previous article. The site does that because old posts attract lots of spam and it’s just more work for me having to get rid of it. The truth is I…

Grealish to Man City for £100M; Thoughts
Apologies for not having posted for a good while. The truth is I’ve quite enjoyed not really having to think about football at all. The Buendia signing seems an excellent one and that nearly nudged me into writing something, but…

Reflections in a Transfer Window.
It’s that time of the year again when ITK’s appear from their winter hibernation and our ‘click bait’ inspired media reach for the regurgitate button on their computers. Or maybe I’ve just become extremely cynical in my advancing years. No…

Villa – Chelsea: And the fans are back. Well, some of them
Well, here we are, the last game of the season and it’s against a Chelsea side who are still fighting for a Champion’s league place. You can be sure they’ll be trying then, even if they do probably have one…

Spurs 1 – 2 Villa: A proper turn up for the books.
Well, I didn’t expect that! When was the last time we beat Tottenham on their own patch? I really don’t have the foggiest. I like playing Spurs. They’re a club known for playing football as it should be played and…

Poll; Does Smith stay or go? and who comes in? Nuno? If not, who?
I saw an article on Saturday night that mentioned Wolves manager, Nuno Espirito Santo as possibly someone Villa might be sniffing around as a replacement for Dean Smith. I was contemplating posting something about that straight after, because it’s an…

Crystal Palace 3 – 2 Villa: We got what we deserved and Smith on thin ice.
Well, that was annoying. Palace hadn’t come from being behind at half time in three years. Trust us then to change that. Why do we bring an end to so many clubs’ bad records? It’s embarrassing. We made a very…

Crystal Palace – Villa; Our best bet for three points from the games left
It’s difficult to know what to say about this one, as the title just about sums it up for me. We’re not going down and we’re not getting Europe, so it’s difficult to get too wound up for it. Dean…

Villa 1 – 3 Man Utd; Bias and defensive errors lead to that.
Well, I got the result half right. I said we’d lose 3-1 if we played poorly. The score was right, but I don’t think we played to badly. Add to that, that we played with ambition to try and win…

Villa – Man Utd; History doesn’t bode well, but who knows?
Last week’s game did a lot to restore my faith in the side, mainly because I was actually entertained for the first time after months of poor, dull football. Man Utd games tend to be quite decent so I’m looking…

Everton 1 – 2 Villa; What brought that on?
Just as I’ve been quiet because I didn’t want to keep saying how poor we are, it’s only fair that I do the opposite after I think we’ve played well. Which is exactly what we did tonight. Indeed, we were…

Everton – Villa; Can we?
To be honest, I’m not really inclined to write anything about this game. I just thought I’d better because no doubt some of you will have been wondering why I’ve been so quiet of late. It’s part of my new…

Liverpool – Villa; Revenge time?
When was the last time we had a Saturday 3pm kickoff? I don’t remember, but it seems like it’s been ages and it’s nice to have one today. There’s just something that seems right about it and late Sunday night…
-
Villa – Fulham; A game of football.
I don’t know what it is, but I’m finding it increasingly harder to write anything about the Villa lately. International breaks, where England get ridiculously easy draws in the qualifiers, yet crumble at the first sign of any half decent…

Uefa to dump FFP? Game changer, if so.
This is a new one on me, but Birmingham Live are reporting that Uefa are about to drop FFP and replace it with another scheme, which will give clubs a lot more financial freedom. Link below. This is fantastic news…

What do we need to improve the team/squad?
I’ve not been too active on here of late and I apologise for it. Things have conspired against me somewhat and I was frankly too busy to find time to write anything on Friday. The truth is also though, that…

Villa – Wolves: Not a clue.
I don’t know if I should even bother trying to guess what’s going to happen here, as you can bet it will probably be wrong. Still I’ve nothing better to do and we can at least talk about the game.…

Leeds 0 – 1 Villa: A job superbly done.
Heh, I got that one well wrong, didn’t I? Which is no surprise, as I think there’s only been a couple of games where I’ve called the score correctly this season. In fairness, I wasn’t alone in thinking we’d lose…

Leeds – Villa; A foregone conclusion
It’s been a very strange season up to now and trying to predict results has proved immensely difficult to say the least. Victories and losses which should have been fairly straightforward on paper, have often proven to be wrong. That…
