I absolutely detest the international breaks. So much so that I just totally lose interest in football temporarily. I haven’t even looked at the site for a while and have just realised that there were comments waiting to be approved.…

Would you take £120 million for Grealish?
Now don’t get worried, I haven’t heard anything. But there are the usual rumours beginning to circulate when any player does well and they did make me wonder. Apparently from what I’ve seen, Arsenal and Real Madrid are practically nailed…

Have you seen our next few fixtures? POLL
You’ve no doubt realised that I don’t generally get too carried away when it comes to the Villa. I see and hear younger people saying they’re much more positive all the time and my daughter is a good example, where…

Arsenal 0 – 3 Villa; Stonking result, but it’s still all quite strange.
I don’t think I say it enough, but I’m going to now; We did really well and fully deserved that. Indeed, we could have won by more and that’s always a great thing to say when you’re playing Arsenal away.…

Arsenal – Villa; Anything can happen
I’ve been massively busy this week and still am, so it’s only a quick one. As part of my research (ahem) into how best to watch games, I’ve actually seen quite a bit of football, albeit not full games. And…

Villa 3 – 4 Southampton; The scoreline flattered us
I seriously struggle to remember the last time I didn’t want to watch the second half of a Villa game as much as I did today. There must have been plenty of occasions over the last few years where I’ve…

Villa – Southampton; Are they too similar to Leeds? and PPV
So it’s another Sunday and another PPV game which has rightly wound many a Villa fan up, because it’s the third of four games that will have to be paid for on top of any existing Sky or BT subscription.…

Outthought, outfought and outplayed.
I admit to having stopped watching after Leed’s second goal; it seemed pointless putting oneself through further agony! Love him or hate him, Bielsa is undoubtedly an exceptional coach with far more experience than Smith and JT put together and…
-
Villa – Leeds; Should be a good game, this
I don’t really have major dislikes for clubs. I’m not at all keen on the Blues, of course, but that’s natural and automatically comes with being a Villa fan. It doesn’t mean I’d love to see the club fail to…

A European Premier league?; Thoughts
I was going to let this subject pass, but I really don’t see how I can because it has such massive implications not just for the Villa, but the whole English game. If anyone hasn’t seen it yet, the story…

Leicester 0 – 1 Villa; The Juggernaut keeps rolling on
Ha, I couldn’t resist that headline. But seriously, we looked very good didn’t we? We certainly didn’t look put of place and were probably the better team, in that we had the better possession and also created the most chances.…
-
Leicester – Villa; Hooray, the proper footy’s back!
I’m writing this early on Friday morning, mostly because I’m itching for the proper games to come back after the utterly pointless England games that I have no interest in whatsoever. It’s probably a bit unfair of me to say…

Villa 7 – 2 Liverpool: The champions utterly destroyed.
I wasn’t going to bother posting on this one, but how can I not write on what is a pretty historic result? This is the first time Liverpool have conceded seven goals since around 1963, after all. Not that I’m…
-
Villa – Liverpool; Should I predict a home win?
I’ve been looking at the odds for the game and this morning I saw that you could get 9/1 for us to win tonight. That’s massive odds given that Liverpool were somewhat lucky to beat us last season. It’s only…
-
Carabou cup; Villa – Stoke
You know a cup competition has been so devalued, that it’s almost worthless, when there’s practically no mention of tonight’s game in the news. It’s a massive shame as it’s a competition that brings back some of my best ever…

An Away clean sheet at the 27th attempt, Samatta leaves and Fulham up next
Aston Villa’s second XI comfortably disposed of Bristol City last night whilst removing an unwanted statistic. 26 Consecutive away games in all competitions without a clean sheet is not something to be proud of, certainly not for a club of…

Sheffield United, a Ghost Goal and the New Traore
Cast your mind back a mere 12 weeks or so and Nyland is calling on the Gods of Norse Legend to sabotage the goal line technology as he tries to wrestle the ball around the goal post and into the…
-
Burton – Villa; So much going on.
Well, I thought the game was going to be the main story of today, but it’s been blown away by the fact that Jack Grealish has signed an extension contract of no less than five years. Of course this is…
-
Ollie Watkins; What would be a decent season?
First, welcome Olliw Watkins. I like this signing, because it’s obviously a player Dean Smith wants. I know that the Villa system now is that we have more of a recruitment team, but I find it reassuring that the coach…

Cash in the bag? It looks like it.
Again it seems you lot are a few hours ahead of me on this one, but I feel it deserves a post of it’s own, so here goes; According to various sources and I’m going with Sky in particular; https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11677/12061767/matty-cash-aston-villa-agree-fee-with-nottingham-forest-for-right-back…
