First off, I want to apologise for my rant on the previous thread. I wrote the article simply because there was little to talk about and wanted to create some debate. It was simply a bad idea. I’m on holiday…

Is Hourihane our saviour? Wesley, 20 goals? and the Hutton love-in
Now I’ll admit straight off, this is just trying to raise a bit of debate. I’m currently on holiday again (work hard, play hard, for those that don’t know me) and there’s next to no English telly and worse still,…

Norwich 1 – 5 Villa; Well, I didn’t expect that!
On reflection, it’s quite easy to say that Norwich were poor in the headline score because they had so many players out and I’m sure the Canaries’ fans might well be using that as an excuse. But it takes two…

Norwich – Villa; Does Wesley start?
Well, this is another tough game, which I’m sure is a statement I’ll be making repeatedly this season. Dean Smith has said they’re all tough games in the Premier league and he is of course, correct. We’re nowhere near the…

Villa 2 – 2 Burnley: I’m becoming concerned about Wesley
Quite simply, we got a point. Which is better than nothing. But my bigger concern has to be about Wesley. A few times, the commentators mentioned that Wesley seemed to be reluctant to challenge Mee, when the ball was in…
-
Burnley – Villa; Hopefully, we get the points
It’s the same old rhetoric, I know, but there are no easy games in the Premier league and I certainly don’t expect this one to be easy either. But it would seem this is definitely a game where we should…

Brighton – Villa; Carabou cup, I nearly forgot.
I wrote about this when we played Crewe in the previous round, but it says it all when you have to be reminded that we have a game tomorrow. Other web sites were talking about Brighton and I was wondering…

Arsenal 3 – 2 Villa; A decent performance, but not good enough
While I’m disappointed that we lost, I really don’t think that was too bad a performance. Indeed, for probably 60 minutes, I thought we were the better side overall. I asked for the side to get Wesley into the game…
-
Arsenal – Villa: I actually fancy us here
You know how it is. You just get a feeling and that’s simply what I’ve got for this game. It seems I’m not alone either, as having read around it seems quite a few Villa fans agree; Arsenal look very…

Are we “fickle fans” in danger of over reacting?
It’s with great pleasure that I post an opinion that isn’t mine. It actually comes from “Hitchens60”, who’s a regular participant on the site. Remember, if you have an opinion, just drop me a mail and I’m always happy to…

Villa – West Ham; Yet another tough one. Aren’t they all?
Thank God it’s back to proper footy and I can’t wait for this one, although I am nervous about it. I don’t know what it is, but suspect it’s simply down to the fact that many other fans have missed…
-
What is it with these modern day wimp players?
It’s an international break and I’m bored because we don’t have any proper footy to talk about. Yes, England beat Bulgaria 4-0, but who really cares? We all know we’ll get stuffed as soon as we meet any decent team.…
-
Palace 1-0 Villa; Sorry, but we weren’t good enough.
I couldn’t get a preview post up, because I was simply too busy doing other stuff, apologies. Whatever, it didn’t matter as the ref’s decision to pull the game back after Lansbury had scored what seemed a legitimate goal, led…
-
Crewe 1- 6 Villa; Slightly unexpected, but
On the face of it, this was really easy. But that’s not strictly true, as what came out of this game, from what I saw/heard is that we played very open and quite simply took our chances. Whereas Crewe possibly…

Crewe – Villa; Should be a win?
After a rare but very pleasant weekend off work, with excellent weather, I have to admit I’d almost forgotten about this game. Which is quite sad really, as it yet again demonstrates how little this cup means compared to being…
-
Villa 2 – 0 Everton; Get the f*ck in there! 3 points!
Well, I’m happy to say I called this wrong and we won, simple. Everton are classed as a middle to top tier side, but offered very little, overall. So where does that leave us? Wesley proved to be a consistent…
-
Villa – Everton; I don’t know what to think
You could say we’ve been somewhat unlucky in our games against Spurs and Bournemouth. First, because we possibly outplayed Spurs for a good part of the game, where Erickson changed everything. And second because we gave Bournemouth a flying start,…
-
Do we give Wesley a chance?
Well, it’s quite a simple question, that was submitted by “Craig”. It was posted in the “submit an article” section, probably accidently, but it’s a good question, regardless, in asking what we think of him; “Why didn’t we pay for…
-
Villa 1 – 2 Bournemouth; good and bad
Well, that’s just typical of football, isn’t it? We all praise Heaton as possibly the bargain signing of the season and then he gives away a penalty in the first minute. That’s just typical Villa and I certainly won’t hold…
-
Villa – Bournemouth; would you take a draw for this one? POLL
Yes, I know. On the face of it, it’s a really negative question. But I’ve just been reading the Birmingham Mail (or Live, whatever) where their new Villa correspondent, Ashley Preece, is writing his usual incredibly over-optimistic views of anything…
