I still struggle to believe we beat Leicester. Fortunately, while close, my 1-1 prediction didn’t materialise and all I remember is not Trezeguet’s goal, but the pure elation in the moment. That’s footy and booze for you. So we face…

I awoke for a leak at 9.15pm, which is 1.15 am proper time, as I fell straight to sleep after the game. This being on holiday job is quite tiring, I’ll have you know. I straight away had a ciggy…

This game is being shown on ESPN, which is just as well, because I’m currently sunning myself in a lovely apartment in Barbados, which means I’ll be able to watch it. Actually, it’s this one here. (Click to view) and…

We walked this game and Watford took the lead, It then seemed to me that everything we were doing just looked like it wasn’t going to work out. We’d dominated possession, passing and whatever stat you like. Yet still Deeney…

Well, the good news is that we’ve officially signed Samatta (yay!). The bad news is that he won’t be able to play tomorrow (boooo!) Which means unless we start Vassilev, which I really don’t see happening, we go strikerless again.…

Although I predicted a 2-1 loss, I did say I favoured a 1-1 draw. No excuses though, I called it wrong. And after the frankly abysmal first half performance, I actually think that was a pretty decent outcome for us…

This game is massive to my mind. But is it a game that we should really expect to win? I’m not convinced it is, as much as Brighton are struggling alongside us. It would seem that the concensus amongst us…

Good grief, that was a poor performance wasn’t it? Giving the ball away is bad enough and it feels like I’ve moaned about it all season. But to combine it with what seemed like a lack of fight is shocking.…

Man City are a very good team, regardless of who they put out on the pitch. That’s the bleeding obvious out of the way and I suppose we should expect another spanking, similar to what should have happened against Leicester.…

I can’t rave enough about last night’s performance. It wasn’t because it was an outstanding result, although it was pretty decent, with many of us expecting to get our arses whupped. No, it was more about the fact that I…

There’s no denying it is there? This is a tough game, away to what I called the most complete side we’ve played this season and frankly I’m just wondering how many we’re going to lose by. Squad news and Leicester…

Credit to https://www.flickr.com/photos/graham_pride/albums/72157662420335941 A very happy new year! It is for us Villa fans anyway. How great was it for us to get three points today when practically everybody, myself included had written this one off a a “no chance”?…

Worried about who Dean Smith is going to start for this one, that is. If I see Lansbury or Hourihane start, I think I’ll have totally given up with the manager. I’m also worried about how this game is going…

You know that old saying, “it’s always darkest before the Dawn”? Well, it occurred to me just after we conceded the third goal. I’m saying that because I want to sort of prove that I am trying to stay positive.…

This one isn’t quite the six pointer that the Norwich game was, but it’s still massively important as although Watford won’t catch us, we’ll lose more ground to the clubs above us. It’s a case of trying to not let…

I’m a bit perplexed. Having read most of the other Villa sites, it seems like many of us fans are very pleased after yesterday’s game. I understand that, of course; it’s all about the points. So while I’m equally pleased…

We all know the script. It’s a six-pointer. Unfortunately, this time I think it’s true, as if we lose this one at home to another team below us, we’re going to be in serious trouble. And that’s before the Watford…

Basically, I didn’t get to see the first half, but I gather it was really poor. Certainly a 0-2 scoreline suggested such and I’m probably glad I missed it. I saw the second half though and was incredibly disappointed at…

“It’s a funny old game” is something that will never leave me, when it comes to footy. First, I want to give Liverpool’s kids massive credit, as they came straight out off the blocks and had us on the ropes…
