  • Leeds – Villa; How do we approach this one?

    Everyone’s thinking about this one already and I’m the same, so before you all pre-empt what I am or am not thinking, I guess I’d better get a post out there. The big and obvious question is do we rest…

  • Has Dean Smith been a good manager for us up to now?

    On the face of it, it’s a daft question, but bear with me. I’ve seen it said that Dean Smith has no proven history and indeed his highest previous finish was ninth in any league. The insinuation was that our…

  • Villa 1 – 0 Millwall; Not great, but another win

    Well that’s ten wins in ten games and whatever I thought, you can’t knock that. We weren’t quite at it today, but that’s not surprising as I’m sure Friday’s game combined with the heat over this weekend must have taken…

  • Villa – Millwall; Still confident, but maybe a trickier test

    Isn’t it strange how you occasionally struggle with spelling some simple words? Well, I do anyway and “Millwall” is one of them. Hopefully I’ve spelled it correctly, with two “l”s. Enough of that waffle and while I see this as…

  • Bolton 0 – 2 Villa; All too easy

    So that’s nine wins out of nine games for the first time since 1910 and we look for 10 on the trot for the first time ever. The first half made for tedious watching for me, as Bolton did their…

  • Bolton – Villa; another shoe-in, I reckon

    The good news is that this game is actually on, after it seemed very much in doubt with Stewards etc threatening to go on strike after not being paid for weeks. Bolton were bought out last night and although I…

  • Villa 2 – 1 Bristol City; It could have been six!

    Well, what an entertaining game that was. The headline score makes it seem close, but the reality is we could have had a boat-load of goals today, if it wasn’t for Max O’Leary playing an absolute blinder. He made that…

    I meant to post before the Rotherham game, but just didn’t find time. The basis of the post was that I was supremely confident, but was worried that anyone can become overly so. There’s always a side that will catch…

  • Rotherham 1 – 2 Villa; Do you want to bet against us?

    A missed penalty and Mings sent off for two yellows within 34 minutes. Yet still we managed to battle back from a goal down. Do I need to say any more than the headline?

  • Sheffield Wednesday 1-3 Villa: Great win. Is it about the fitness?

    This was yet another strange game. We walked the first half and looked totally in control, even though Sheffield took the early lead. I remained totally confident, until the home side seemed to get their act together and were all…

  • Villa 2 -1 Blackburn; We’re up to fifth.

    A bit of a strange game, I thought. We started off looking like Brazil at their finest and ended up looking, well not quite ropey, but definitely under pressure. It would seem Dean Smith really wasn’t kidding when he said…

  • Villa – Blackburn; surely 3 points? and thoughts on FFP

    It’s been a busy couple of weeks, with me going from Birmingham to liverpool, to Cardiff and now to Ireland. Fortunately, it’s helped to keep my mind off football in general and the internationals in particular. Still, I did watch…

    Well, that was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be. As soon as we got the first, I knew it was all over, as Pulis doesn’t have a plan B and even if he did, I…

  • Villa – Boro; Now this is a really big game!

    Our last three games have all been very tough propositions, yet we coped with them all really well, scoring eight goals and only conceding one (a somewhat flukey one, too). I still can’t get my head around how much better…

    in News, Opinion, Preview/Review

    Ha, I was somewhat over-confident that we’d win this at first glance, if you read the previous post. But it seems my confidence was justified, as we actually played very well and nullified everything Forest had to offer. Our defence…

  • Forest – Villa; my confidence returns, Villa to win

    It’s funny how a couple of good wins against Derby and Blues can totally change your outlook isn’t it? Yes, I know it’s fickle of me, but the fact is we looked awful for a good while and I didn’t…

  • Blues 0 – 1 Villa; Great win and sweet for Grealish

    (Picture courtesy of the Daily Mirror) I’m currently working in rural Eire. It’s a lovely place, but the weather is incredibly changeable and it’s prone to power cuts. Which is exactly what happened today. We were without electricity for about…

    And it is of course, the Blue’s fA cup final once again. Only this time I feel it’s more interesting than usual. Blues have a really poor record against us over the last 15 games or so, but while they’re…

    On the 2nd of March, Aston Villa thrashed Derby County four goals to their zero. The team was superb and fully deserved the win that they got. There was even a possibility for more goals in that match however Derby’s…

  • Villa 4-0: I never expected that. Grealish runs the show.

    Let’s get the negative straight out of the way and say that Derby were awful. I don’t think they had a shot on target all game and reminded me so much of us recently. By that, I mean that it…
