It’s just a quick one to say well done lads. We were somewhat unlucky in the end, with Konsa having a free header chance that he couldn’t connect with and Maatsen having a nice shot, amongst other chances, but PSG’s…

Southampton 0 – 3 Villa; Tedious, but a good win eventually.
Lets not try and disguise things and be polite. Southampton are absolutely awful and you can see exactly why they’re going down. A big part of me half expected the Saints to have a bit of a bounce after being…

PSG 3 – 1 Villa; Gutted
I said before the game, that I’d be okay with a two goal deficit, but I’ve changed my mind. While PSG looked good, I do wonder how much we allowed them to do it. Certainly, trying to sit back and…

PSG – Villa; A Step too far? Or, Glory,glory?
Openreach finally did what they said and actually did our install. It’s only taken 3 months, but hey, it’s done, so happy days. My big question now, is will the happy days continue ? This is without doubt our biggest…

Villa – Forest; A possible FA cup pre-cursor?
First, some good news. My fibre install looks like it might be happening on Tuesday. It’s amazing how the threat of the Ombudsman can give a company like Openreach a kick up the proverbial. An engineer turned up on spec…

Preston – Villa: FA cup quarter final. It’s almost now or never.
(I started writing this yesterday) You don’t know the grief I’m going through trying to post this. I’ve been trying to get Openreach to do an internet install since early January. The latest news is that they’re going to do…

Brentford + Villa, Who knows? and an apology
I feel I owe a bit of an apology. Well, I don’t really, but I’m a nice guy and feel a bit guilty about not commenting much lately. I want to do a Max Bygraves and tell you a story.…

Aston Villa 2-0 Cardiff City. Is the FA Cup really winnable now?
Courtesy of Bradley Ricketts. Cheers Bradley! Aston Villa 2-0 Cardiff City. Nothing less than what was expected. I said before the game today that if we lose this game then it is disgusting. A win is a win in the…

Villa – Chelsea; Same old, same old
If I was to say “I don’t know what to think about this one”, you’d probably think “crikey Badger, you’ve said that a few times this season”. And you’d be right, because I have. The trouble is, my immediate thoughts…
-
Villa – Ipswich; A shoe-in, yes?
Or is it? This should be dead easy. Ipswich are second bottom in the league and have gained a solitary point from their last 18. Even that was six games ago, meaning they’ve lost the last five games on the…

Villa 2 – 1 Spurs; Can someone tell me what the 5th round is?
We so rarely get that far that I’ve practically forgotten what it is. I thought that was a good game overall. Not particularly footballing-wise, albeit we play some cracking stuff at times. Indeed, Villa did what they usually do and…

Duran moves to the desert and the Dogheads on Sunday.
So Jhon Duran has got the move he, or more likely his agent, has longed for and signed for Al Nassr in the totally meaningless Saudi Arabian desert league. There’s only one reason you’d want to go there and we…

Villa – West Ham; Can we hammer them this time, please?
Sorry for the terrible title, but it’s as good as anything else I can think of. I’ve seen it said a few times over the last couple of months that we’re on the edge of hammering someone, but you could…
-
Monaco – Villa: Will this be the one where we qualify?
I know nothing about French football. I should say that from the off. I also have very little interest in the Champion’s league normally, because I find it frankly boring, with practically the same teams involved every year. But obviously,…
-
Everton – Villa. An intriguing game.
I don’t know why I find this one intriguing, but I do. Last season I’d probably have described it as a run of the mill win for us, but this time, I wonder if Moyes can have a new manage…

Villa – West Ham; FA Cup third round and 150th anniversary.
I am actually back home now, but not for long. I’m off to a training course tomorrow in Middlesboro, of all places. So I doubt if I’ll be able to see much of the game, as I’ll no doubt be…
-
Villa-Leicester. Surely we’ll get a result here?
It’s becoming increasingly difficult to comment about games, because no matter how much I might think we are going to win, we more often than not, don’t. I found myself fuming after the Brighton game, because draws at home are…
-
Newcastle – Villa; Big ask, but just maybe
By badger123 on December 26, 2024 Hooray, I finally got my internet installed this morning and for a supposedly inferior country, it´s fast. 600Mb is pretty much the standard and I´m getting 400Mb down and 350Mb up via the router.…

Villa 2 – 1 Man City: Morgan Rogers, can you see it now?
So I’m in sunny Spain for a few weeks. I could say that it hit 21c today and I was sat in my shorts in the afternoon, but I wouldn’t want to make anyone jealous. Being abroad did bring some…

Forest – Villa; Hopeful again
So we beat Brentford, beat Southampton and won in Europe again to make it three wins on the trot. Can we make it four? Just as it frankly amazes me that we’re sixth in the league, given our recent form,…
