The official word is that Jack Grealish knows nothing about any move and everything is being left in his advisors’ hands. But does anyone else think that the above picture, that I think was sent via Jack’s Twitter account, is…

After watching Spain-Portugal, I don’t think I understand the game anymore.
So I’ve just watched the above and I’m somewhat lost in my thinking. Footy was always a simple game when I was younger. The whole idea is to get the ball in the net more times than the opposition, is…

Hutton signs a new one year contract; How does that work?
I know some of you have already discussed it, but this one puzzles me. First let me say I’m pretty happy about this, as it seems, according to the Birmingham Mail’s poll, many Villa fans are. I’ve seen comments that…

Meltdown update; What (we think) we know.
Well, it’s all happening, isn’t it? That’s if you believe what’s being said in the media. First and most important, is that we’ve done a deal with the tax man. There’s no surprise there, as his only aim is to…

Villa’s financial crisis; Hopefully overblown, but not looking good.
Let’s first just say that I’m the same as the rest of you fans and the media in general. I just don’t know enough facts to make any 100% correct assumptions at all. But there is one thing I do…

If Grealish goes, should he have our blessing?
I’ve been thinking about this one for the last couple of days, but my thoughts have been somewhat superceded by the speculation that Leicester might be willing to go to £40 miilion to get Grealish. Not that it matters, as…

Ok, he messed up, imo, but Bruce stays.
So I’m over my massive disappointment after yesterday’s poor showing. Actually I’m very sanguine, probably because I saw what was coming and wasn’t at all convinced that we’d win the game. It still annoys me that we did exactly what…

Villa 0 – 1 Fulham; Bruce cost us that game.
To be honest, I’m not surprised. We lost to a better team, through a totally negative outlook from the manager in the first half. We tried to contain Fulham and it was obvious that it wasn’t going to happen, as…
-
Villa – Fulham; The REAL big one. Can we do it?
Well, here we are. A one-off game that decides if we get back into the Premier league or not. And maybe equally importantly, it decides if we get our hands on the minimum £170 million that the winner receives. I’m…

Am I a “glory hunter”?
I set an alarm early this morning, to remind me that tickets for the play-off final were going on general sale online at 5-00pm. So imagine my disappointment when I read in the Brum Mail that we’ve sold out. And…

Villa 0-0 Boro; We’re through but I wasn’t convinced.
It’s the result that counts, of course and quite simply we got it. But while I’m elated that we’ve reached the final, it doesn’t necessarily mean I’m happy about the performance. We started ok and then sat back deeper in…

Villa – Boro; Nervous ain’t the word
A massive game tonight then and I’m really tense. We all know what it means to the club if we don’t get promoted and I’m definitely not in the camp that says we might be better doing another season in…

Are us Villa fans really just itching to slate Steve Bruce?
“Nath” went on a bit of a rant after the game last night. I don’t know if it was beer-induced (quite understandable, after a very important win), but he did raise a very good point I thought, in that he…
-
Boro 0 – 1 Villa; Brilliant result.
I know it’s easy to say when you’ve won away, but I seriously think I’d be saying the same if Boro had pulled a goal back. That was simply a professional performance from the lads today and Steve Bruce and…
-
Boro – Villa; Squeaky bum time
What can I say that hasn’t already been said, seemingly everywhere else on the net? Except that the whole scenario and atmosphere is building; so much so, that frankly my ring is twitching severely already. We all know the difference…
-
Millwall – Villa; The big one! well, maybe not.
I’m sure I’m not alone in hoping that this game was going to be a nail-biter; the game that ultimately decided if we were going to be promoted, if we weren’t already. But it’s proved not to be and it’s…
-
Villa 1-1 Derby; How did we not win that?
Just a quick one to say I managed to watch the game via a Balkan streaming site. Which was just as well, as the AVTV audio went down just a couple of minutes before the goal. AVTV has proved to…
-
The play-offs; in the bag?
I’m going on holiday to Mexico tomorrow. A big thanks to those who think I’ve deserved it and a big razz to those who think I don’t. It’s a hard life, that sees me missing many games, but it’s not…
-
Ipswich – Villa; Another “a win, on paper” game.
I think you can guess how my thoughts are going to go here. Ipswich Town have nothing to play for. They can’t get promoted and they can’t get relegated and sit smack bang in the middle of the table. Yet…

Snodgrass at £12 million plus? and thoughts on the Leeds game
Well, I’ve thought more about the Leeds game and still think we were very average at best. No, I’m going to say it as it is and say we were poor. I suggested in the previous comments section that it…
