  • Villa – Southampton; Oh oh, I’m hopeful again!

    The Villa never fail to do it, do they? Raise your hopes and then fail to produce on a consistent basis, that is. I was thinking about this yesterday and it led to me wondering why we’ve never any consistent…

  • Chelsea – Villa; Very little hope here.

    Hardly anything has been able to distract me away from the Villa in my lifetime. The last series of events able do it was the birth of my kids, decades ago. Purchasing a gaff in Spain has distracted me too.…

  • Liverpool 2 – 0 Villa; I didn’t enjoy that.

    So I went to the game and quite frankly hated it. This is not an analysis of the game in any way and I’m just talking about the experience. As per usual (and I’ve been to Anfield a few times),…

    The good news (or is it?) is that I’ll be going to the game, along with numerous members of the family. I had planned to go home this weekend, but it’s hardly worth it if I have to drive up…

  • Spurs – Villa; A game of two rubbish defences?

    I like watching Postecoglou’s Spurs side. They’re even more gung ho than we are and frankly, it seems the manager doesn’t care. I’ve said a few times that while it’s entertaining, I don’t believe it’s a strategy that will win…

    It’s been a bit of an odd weekend, where a few things have all came together, resulting in me not being able to write a post or even reply to comments. It’s my own fault. I decided to buy components…

    Ok, I don’t want to get ideas above mine or any Villa fans expectations, but if I was one of my Grandsons, I’d be very excited right now, because the possibilities are endless and we so remind me of the…

    So that purely money-spinning Nations league rubbish, that I’m sure is a big part of leading to players complaining about playing too many games, is over. The sooner they get rid of it, the better, for me, but the money…

  • Villa – Man Utd; I’m laughing, not knowing what to say.

    I’ve been saying for years that Utd are a club in decline and we’re seeing it accelerate, in my opinion. The “theatre of dreams” is falling to pieces because of the Glaziers’ lack of investment and I’m sure I heard…

    What a game. And more importantly, what a victory! It’s been a long time since a game had me on tenterhooks like that and I honestly don’t know if I enjoyed it, such was Bayern’s dominance, where overall they battered…

  • Ipswich 2 -2 Villa; Two possibly very expensive points thrown away.

    I told you, didn’t I? That’s by no means a self-congratulatory comment though. I’m gutted and worry what today’s result might have cost us come the end of the season. Did we bring it on ourselves? Well, possibly because we…

    The honest truth is I haven’t had much time for the site lately. Replenishing our totally drained ISAs doesn’t come easily to me and I have to work long hours to earn the required income to be able to put…

    First off, let me say what a fantastic advert for the Premier League that was. It’s no wonder it’s the most watched league by far, as nowhere else can you see a game ebbing and flowing the way it did…

    So I’m currently in Torrevieja, Spain, chilling, after having just bought a very nice bungalow, and it now seems a good time to write something. Now that the EUFA Nations league (pure money spinning rubbish) is over and we get…

    I liked this result. It was fully expected and upon reflection, my expectations were probably too high, is the truth of it. That sort of game is always a possible banana skin, which is what I suggested in the preview,…

    I don’t know what’s up with me. This should be one of the easiest games of this season, given that Leicester have only just come back up and we’re Champion’s league qualifiers, but I have a sneaky feeling it’s not…

    I’ve left this until the last minute as I’m not sure what to think really. Arsenal are many people’s prediction to win the title and I actually think they’re more likely to win the league than Citeh, in my opinion.…

    How enjoyable was that? I have to admit that I’m a little confused. Is it actually legal that we win at West Ham on the first day of the season? Straight from the off, my MOTM was Onana. He is…
