It would seem I was right to try and underplay things, having listened to that game. We started brightly, but seemingly got worse as the game went on. Which figures. They’re the same players. But having only listened to it…

Villa-Swansea; Which eleven?
I think the two main issues we’re all thinking about are which team Dean Smith will pick and how he’s going to set them up against a very decent footballing side, in Swansea. The first part is anyone’s guess, as…

Smith and Terry it is then; The fans’ choice.
I find it hard work using a phone to browse the internet and even harder to write with, probably because of my ageing eyesight. I really wish I’d brought my laptop on holiday now. Never mind, the important thing is…

Millwall 2 – 1 Villa; Thoughts about a Henry/Terry combination.
Well, as I suspected, I didn’t get to see the game. I think I’m probably glad, as it sounds like it was more of the same ponderous stuff with more poor goalkeeping. Nah, scratch that. I want to see every…
-
Millwall – Villa; A slight distraction to the manager hunt
Well, the headline might seem a bit strange, but that’s actually how I see this game, if truth be told. Of course, I want us to win it, but if we assume that Kevin Macdonald is correct when he says…
-
Next manager POLL; who do you think?
Seeing as we’ve only just sacked Bruce, it seems a bit early to be asking this question, as we’re still digesting the news. But it’s been requested and I suppose it’s going to be the next big subject, so here…

That’s it then; Bruce sacked
I’ve been expecting this all day and have been keeping a close eye on the news, but typically it seems the announcement was made while I was listening to my music library in the car on the way home. So…

Villa 3-3 Preston; Enough to save Bruce? I doubt it
Well, I suppose if you were a neutral that would be classed as a great game as the play swung backwards and forwards. But it certainly wasn’t for me. We were comfortable when we went 2-0 up, until Chester got…
-
Villa – Preston; if we can’t win this one, we might as well forget it
Preston have 5 points from 10 games. I don’t think I need to say anything more than that, apart from they’re either going through a torrid time or are totally rubbish. So it has to be a Villa win, right?…
-
Bristol City – Villa; it’s now a question of CAN we win?
As opposed to WILL we win? in my opinion. I don’t know. Last season I was confident that we had a chance against any team we played, even if it meant that we’d scratch out the points by the odd…
-
Villa 1 – 2 Sheff Weds; That’s enough, BRUCE OUT!
I really wanted to think about things before I posted anything, but I’m afraid I can’t resist anymore. It seems most Villa sites are just as reticent as me to actually call for Bruce’s head, probably because they realise, just…
-
Villa – Sheff Weds; A nailed on WIN? and thoughts about Bruce
I feel I should clarify a few things as regards my thinking about Steve Bruce. I like the bloke. Because he talks my language and seems mostly fairly easy-going and personable. I also feel a lot of sympathy with what…
-
Villa 2-0 Rotherham; The absolute least we could expect.
It’s only a short one, as frankly I have better things to do than try to explain what I saw tonight. Suffice to say, that while I suppose I should be thankful for a Villa win, it’s really not saying…
-
Villa – Rotherham; Lose this and Bruce has to go
Lately, I’ve been left fuming after most of our performances. Sometimes, it’s best not to post knee jerk reactions straight after the game, as they can leave you looking like a mug. So I’ve left it a couple of days…
-
Villa – Blackburn; Bruce in last chance saloon?
Back to the proper footy then and it’s Blackburn away tomorrow. The good news is, it’s a 5.30pm kick off, so I’ll get to see it. Straight into team news and it’s not good on Blackburn’s part, as Dominic Samuel…
-
A bit of a round up; Blues about to be deducted points?
To be honest, I don’t even know what the internationals are for and couldn’t care less what England are up to, unless we’re in some serious finals. Apparently we’re in some Uefa group called A2? Whatever. All I know is…
-
Sheff Utd 4 – 1 Villa; Just a matter of time for Bruce’s sacking
Footy’s a fickle game. It was only a week or so ago that we played Brentford and quite a few of us said that it was the best that we’d played in a very long time. But from what I’ve…
-
Sheff Utd- Villa; God knows, tbh.
It’s a very short one, as I’m up to my nuts in work again. I very much doubt I’ll get to see the game. The truth is, I haven’t really kept track with who we’ve signed and who we’ve lost.…
-
Villa 1-1 Reading; The blame game
Typical Villa eh? I was really downhearted at the final whistle and really couldn’t be bothered to write about it. I haven’t seen a replay of the penalty incident, but I’m pretty sure it shouldn’t have been given. Chester won…
-
Villa – Reading; Confident? We should be.
I know we’re talking about the Villa and we should never count our chickens, but surely if you can’t feel confident for this match, you’re not going to at all, are you? I know Reading were supposed to have been…
